    Does anyone prefer a traditional mens shoo?

    I found some nice, cheaper shoes at Payless. I can wear them all day, but I don't do very much walking in my job. I'm not really sure how to post links, (I'm not very techno-savvy :o ) but they are called the "Investor Menswear Pump". (On sale, too!) Their website has a terrible search function...

    I am truly amazed by how talented everyone here is! How many posts do you need to have before you can post pictures? Also, is there a way to perform a search other than just manually looking through all of the threads? I am sure this information is somewhere, but like my co-workers say, I "stink...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Thank you! Since I can never find any pictures of myself that I like, I have to stage them :D

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Oh, and a funny thing did happen at work regarding my stockings: One of the girls that I supervise told me that it "looked like I spilled ink down my legs" lol Most of them are teenagers (not that there is anything wrong with that), and I don't think that they have ever even seen them before...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    Thanks, everyone. I understand both sides, and if the way that I am presenting myself makes any of my employees uncomfortable, of course, I will change it. I have no desire to rock the boat or cause any kind of a stir at work, so if my boss says that I have to stop wearing them, I will stop. I...

    Oh the Stigma with wearing seamed fully fashioned stockings!

    I just have to vent about something that happened to me yesterday at work. I am a manager in a customer service department at a local bank. It is a Call Center; we have no face-to-face contact with customers. My boss, who works in a different building, came to me and said that my seamed...

    Where did your user name come from??

    What does everyone's profile name mean? I am interested to know what everyones' names mean and why they chose them. Bubbles was my grandmother's nickname when she was in college, given to her because of what my grandfather calls her "effervescent personality". (She still has it!) She was 22 in...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Wow, I joined and posted a few times about a month ago, and then I had a lapse! We have been moving, which, since I am sort of a packrat :o , is pretty much an all-consuming activity! I have dressed vintage (hair, clothes, and make-up) for a few years now, but lately, I have gotten up the...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    I had a funny experience tonight at Target. I walked by a lady pushing a 5- or 6-year old little girl in a cart, when the little girl pointed at me and said, "Mommy, she looks wei..." Before the little girl could finish the word "weird", her mother screamed out "Pretty!!" hoping to drown her...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    You're so right about that, Helen! Last week I was at a shoe store, wearing a vintage red and white polka-dot dress, and one of the salesgirls said to me, "That's such a cute dress!" I thanked her, and then a guy standing behind her said, "Heh heh, she's right; great 'dress'" (read: "great...

    Wardrobe crisis!

    Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions! It is wonderful how helpful everyone is around here. The overalls and bandana idea is great; I didn't even think of that! I still haven't figured out how making a fool of yourself in front of your coworkers helps you do your job better; I have proven to my...

    Wardrobe crisis!

    I feel guilty; this is only my second post, and I am asking for help already! I am a manager at a local bank, and I was just informed that all of the managers (about 30 people) will be attending a mandatory team-building exercise at a ropes course (:( ) on a Saturday. I dress vintage every day...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    This is my first post, so please be patient with me! I am so glad to have found this place! I dress vintage every day, everywhere, and have gotten mostly positive responses from people (mostly older people). Usually something like "You look like you stepped out of an old movie". That always...
