^^ I'm very tempted to wear sandals instead of heels! Don't wanna fall down the steps..

5/5/2009 4:41:16 PM

I need help finding the "best" looking military pumps. most females I see have awful pumps with square heels. these are the regulations I have to meet. also the toe can't be too pointy, it's not in the regs but is pretty much understood.

Quote :

"Females. ... dress pumps made of smooth leather or synthetic leather, with closed heels and toes. Heels shall be no higher than approximately 2-5/8 inches nor less than approximately 5/8 inch measured from the forward edge, and no wider than approximately 1-3/4 inches at the base. Sole shall be no thicker than approximately 1/4 inch. Wedge heels are not authorized. "

Also I'd like a sturdy heel because I'll be standing all day to teach. There are sites that sell shoes specifically for the military, but I can wear any pair that fits the regs. these are the best I found so far.



this is what I'm trying to avoid

5/5/2009 5:27:02 PM

^i'm a fan of the pumps you found, britta. but i would definitely try them on (or use zappos so you can try on/return a lot). because i'm assuming you want comfort as well?

i've heard frye makes some super comfortable heels, and mixed reviews about the cole haans (with nike insoles). what's your price range?

5/5/2009 5:38:03 PM

This is kinda similar to what you posted I guess:


http://tinyurl.com/dd7lwp


this heel says 3 inches so that is too high i suppose, but it is anne klein (you can find the brand at like belk's/macys) and they often have more modest/businessy type shoes. but a shoe like that still looks stylish (the shape) but more professional. though that one wouldn't work i suppose because of the heel. and i guess you said you didn't like the squared heel, but i don't think those look TOO horrible.

this is a hard task!!

5/5/2009 5:44:00 PM

^thanks! I've had good luck with Kenneth Cole before so I'll check those out.

^^ I'm trying not to go higher than $50 or so

i thought i'd give you ladies an update on my laser hair removal (had one treatment on my armpits). i am really impressed! the hair that grows back is a lot softer and i can go about a week before i even need to shave. i would say it got rid of >50% of the hair. i have another appointment in a few weeks and i think after that i might not even need anymore treatments, or just one more at the most.

if you didn't see my first post, i went to bodylase in cary. they were very nice and i have looked at prices at other places and bodylase is much cheaper but (i believe) uses the same laser as the more expensive places. for example, underarm hair removal at bodylase is $99 per treatment but at blue water spa its $144 (i'm assuming the prices are per treatment here http://www.bluewaterspa.com/laser-hair-removal-pricing.html)

next time i go back i will be getting some other areas done as well, so i will let you all know how that goes!

Totally hairless twats are out. Just and FYI.

5/5/2009 8:31:24 PM

ahh victoria's secret just put a TON of their swimsuits on sale (yay semi-annual)

what do you guys think of this?

5/19/2009 7:03:33 PM

^ I really like that and I'm not even a huge fan of peace signs... I say go for it

5/19/2009 7:22:04 PM

hmm or this one (with the black hot short)

5/19/2009 7:33:04 PM

I love the ruffle suit, but be careful! I ordered it, and if you're any bigger than a B on top, it's probably not gonna work. I had to send it back

5/19/2009 7:50:37 PM

oooo i didnt know i could spank it to this thread!

5/19/2009 7:51:48 PM

Thanks to this thread I just bought ^^ suit in pink stripe

5/19/2009 7:55:47 PM

really? I'm a C cup..is it really that small? I was thinking of ordering the medium

5/19/2009 8:34:55 PM

i need someone to talk me out of buying these shoes for my wedding (the bridesmaid's dresses are blue)



here is a better shot but in pink

[Edited on May 20, 2009 at 1:45 AM. Reason : (these are not authentic... they are less than 1/4 price of the real thing)]

5/20/2009 1:43:13 AM

just found these, thinking about getting them instead, not quite as amazing as the first shoes... but they are only $18



maybe i could get some jeweled shoe clips to spruce them up?

5/20/2009 1:58:22 AM

leave the bedazzler, cha-cha rhinestones at wal-mart or good will where they belong. The shoes look lovey as they are

5/20/2009 2:40:54 AM

ok found some very similar to the louboutin's for $100.

i know its silly to spend so much more for shoes, but i really want peep toes for the wedding because it is in august

5/20/2009 3:10:25 AM

go for it sister. $100 is well worth it for good heels

5/20/2009 3:14:57 AM

I want some more prunes ladies.

5/20/2009 3:18:36 AM

i ordered these yesterday

5/20/2009 11:27:30 AM

i love all the shoes at the bottom of this page...

5/20/2009 11:45:47 AM

pinkpanther....I can't talk you our of those peep toe shoes. They are FABULOUS!!!

5/20/2009 11:52:56 AM

i wont talk you out of them either. lovely!

5/20/2009 12:18:20 PM

those blue louboutins have a touch of 80s to them but i'm a fan.

+1
They look AMAZING! Get them.

5/20/2009 2:22:16 PM

I ended up getting these:



they were $100 on ebay, and they are soooo close to the ones I originally wanted. They are a bit more cobalt blue, but that is fine bc my bridesmaid's dresses are navy + cobalt



I am excited they shipped today!!!

5/20/2009 2:43:00 PM

DAMN that's a close match! NICE! So, wait, you're the one getting married? If so, I adore that you're gonna wear blue shoes. That's awesome.

(Aha, they even sorta stole the red sole, it looks like...)

5/20/2009 3:18:49 PM

OOOOO I really like your bridesmaids dresses!

5/20/2009 3:27:34 PM

louboutins were gorgeous, but definetly wouldnt splurge for something they will wear once, tho if you are buying heels you know you will wear a lot getting a brand like that really does make a different, its soooo much more comfortable.

5/20/2009 3:36:23 PM

has anyone seen any tops lately that arent just plain t's but arent super frilly
I feel like i have nothing to wear up top because all the spring and summer tops are either too casual or far too embellished or patterned. I like to wear more solid colors or simple patterns with clean lines, ruffles and puffs are not clean lines.

5/20/2009 3:38:20 PM

^^I like how you read the part where she says

^You should probably be shopping at more "mature" or business places. What you're after will probably be considered a staple, business casual, or layering essential.

5/20/2009 7:24:37 PM

I can't decide how I feel about these:

DOLCE & GABBANA - Satin conceptual sandals

5/22/2009 11:17:43 AM

That shoe is a challenge I would like to take.

5/22/2009 12:00:48 PM

Those look pretty baller, imo... They also look extremely uncomfortable

How do you feel about THESE?



[Edited on May 22, 2009 at 12:35 PM. Reason : I can't decide how I feel about them]

5/22/2009 12:13:17 PM

so this is where all the cute girls are hiding. hey, get back to the other threads!

5/22/2009 12:41:01 PM

I don't care for those.

Or most of the gladiator sandals that seem to be popular this year. Too many ugly straps.

5/22/2009 12:43:01 PM

ew. both shoes are really ugly imo.

but I'm not really a shoe person. Give me some sneakers or flip flops any day.

5/22/2009 12:44:38 PM

so, Maya's hair is getting long enough to wear barrettes FINALLY!!! YAY!!
I decided I like them so much that I will wear them as well!

5/24/2009 8:30:27 PM

One of my coworkers is wearing this shoe today AND IT IS ADORABLE:






tsubo acrea

I think I'm going to get a pair when I have some extra cash

5/28/2009 2:40:40 PM

good will did not let me down for once...

i got some really cute clothes

5/28/2009 3:08:44 PM

i got a these heels...



and these pants to wear with those heels...



and a fitted dress shirt the same color as the heels to wear with said ensemble

[Edited on May 28, 2009 at 3:38 PM. Reason : for a grand total of $9]

5/28/2009 3:37:53 PM

nice!

i need to find new heels for my dress me thinks...these really really hurt my feet

5/28/2009 3:40:50 PM

yeah...normally i wouldn't have gotten any of the above...but i couldn't let a $3 pair of heels that fit go...

and since i have nothing that's cobalt blue i clearly had to find an outfit to wear with them...

5/28/2009 3:42:09 PM

clearly!!

5/28/2009 3:42:35 PM

@ the blue heels

5/28/2009 3:47:27 PM

is that a good or a bad ?

5/28/2009 3:49:18 PM

I can't say it's a good thing. haha

But do you!!!! Rock it if you can.

5/28/2009 3:52:36 PM

well...it's no secret that our styles don't often intersect
