One word - SPANX. They're a combination hose/girdle type of thing, but are truly comfortable. No kidding. They even made Oprah's favorites list a while back. A WOMAN designed these and they are being carried in high-end stores. This same woman has designed a more affordable brand that Target is carrying now. I can't remember what it's called right now, just cruise the hosery aisle and you'll see it for sure.
I couldn't agree more about hose. My husband says it's payback for the men having to wear ties. When we can, we ditch both the tie AND the hose!
I cheat, if I have to wear hose I wear the knee highs, course the dress has to be long enough to cover them. But like Denise, I opt for the nice but casual look where I can wear sandals.
Heels and me are not a mix, unless they're the chunky kind. I have weak, weak, ankles and I can't stand in heels. My mom about died laughing the first time she wanted to buy me heels. I couldn't even walk in them, unless the heel was parallel to the floor.
I'm a firm believer in THIGH HIGHS! LOL
I'm with Robin on the thigh highs. I bought a dress just last night for the three functions this summer. I haven't worn one in at least two years that wasn't a sundress. But I am not wearing pantyhose. Thigh highs are much more comfortable.
i like long skirts and tops... and flats. i hate heels. i fall over in them. heck i fall over in my sneakers. actually i should join the cast of Scrubs. they are all as clumsy as me. (ok so i watched an entire season of Scrubs today... lol)
oh and is it my imagination or are those word verification things getting longer and longer? :|
no nylons, long dress, painted toenails and fancy cute flat sandals = COMFORT!!
My mom wore the prettiest long dress at my wedding and simple shoes and was more pretty than me! No one around here (WI) wears nylons anymore - it's like a boycott thing or something, I think. If they're really self-conscious they hit a tanning booth.
The fashionable ladies who visit my blog are almost unanimous in proclaiming pantihose a thing of the past. I personally vote for Jaime's plan, although you could wear a cute ballet flat and by-pass the painted toenails as well.
I'll have to check out that Spanx thing. I'm thinking of getting a dressy suit for the wedding so I'd probably need to waar some kind of hose. Sigh. The thigh highs are worth considering too. Thanks girls!
Another easy casual thing to consider instead of the hose is a a "glow" lotion--gives you a nice even look without the hassle of trying to tug any hose onto the body or trying to get a suntan. Neutrogena and Jergens are couple of companies that carry these products. Not outragiously priced and not the old coppertone orange. Hope all goes well with your outift.
I'm with Jamie. NO nylons, long dress/skirt, comfy low heel (leather only if you want pain-free). Good excuse for a pedicure too :-)
I NEVER wear dresses or skirts. I think that there are so many different dress pants that are gorgeous and feminine...plus they're COMFORTABLE. I confess that I absolutely LOVE high heels, but I refuse to wear dresses, skirts, and hose. *shudder of horror*
lol...tanning creams work a wonder on the skin! I use Jergen's whatever low glow tan or something like that...make sure your toes are sparkly and your legs are shaved, you've been using the Jergen's glow lotion and voila! No hose necessary!
hugs and love LM
Yick! Hate hose. I'll have to look for SPANX. I usually try to get away with bare shaved legs. You won't see any hose on me at the ACFW Awards ceremony!
Camy
You can get by with no hose, Camy. You're SKINNY. LOL I've been researching those Spanx things. I'm SO going to get some and try them!
Ladies, Sandels and flip flops are gross. nobody wants to see your little piglets at a party. Knee highs are funny because the tops always show and people laugh at you. So that leaves thigh highs and pantyhose.....ohh and guys loves both....we hate flip flops and whining women...
