I remember watching What Not To Wear years ago and hearing them say you needed to have pants hemmed for heels AND pants hemmed for flats and thinking that seemed frivolous and nuts! It took me a while to get it, but I finally understand. And agree. :)<br /><br />I really like how you paired the blazer and top with these dark jeans. Very 'put together' looking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737316264535846787.post-17446525012095842302013-04-25T16:17:47.804-07:002013-04-25T16:17:47.804-07:00Hi Mrs. C!

My favorite summer-shoe-foot-saver-tip: get some very thin cork sheets and cut out pads to go under the ball of your foot. Not so much for padding, but to be absorbent so you foot doesn't slip down so far into the toe of your shoe, or push too hard against straps. Cuts down on blisters, 'cause your foot doesn't move so much!<br />You look beautiful both ways, btw. Sure like the orange and blue together! So fresh!<br />And thanks for the heads-up on Copycat Thursday! Maybe can play this week, as I'm already copying Reva!<br />Have a great week ... hope to catch up with all soon!<br />J<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737316264535846787.post-74001884498350587682013-04-23T10:51:12.951-07:002013-04-23T10:51:12.951-07:00ouch!

I also have jeans in all different lengths to try to avoid the problem. I'm short so I need the height offered by wedges or heels but sometimes I wish I was just wearing flats!<br />Heather from Friendship, Life and Style<br />P.S. I didn't notice the jean "problem" until you pointed it out, so you probably would have been fine for the day in the flats :)Ann, Heather and Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04693705395568174074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737316264535846787.post-41849861266613525632013-04-22T22:10:22.315-07:002013-04-22T22:10:22.315-07:00Like Monica - I have jeans hemmed for flats and he...Like Monica - I have jeans hemmed for flats and heels.
