Secrets In Lace are my official sponsors and the owner says FF stocking sales have sky-rocketed over the past few years.... a trend that continues to rise.

Given that, I'm not sure what anyone "should" dress like.
One of the few things I love about living in Los Angeles is that it is possible to see and to meet people from nearly every culture and place on earth. During my year working behind a retail counter, I had the opportunity to wait on a beautiful, and obviously wealthy and cultured couple from India. As is not unusual, he was dressed in a western business suit, and she was wearing traditional dress. But oh, what a dress! She was wearing a sari of pure silk and an incredible vermilion red, more beautiful gold jewelry than the gold reserves of many small nations...everything! I could not take my eyes off of this stunning woman, but for none of the reasons for which men are held in such ill repute these days. I couldn't stop thinking that I had someone step off the cover of a special issue edition of National Geographic Magazine (or from out of the pages of the Mahabharata) to grace our shop with her presence, and she was stood just the other side of our counter, not two feet from my nose! Her sari made our best western fabrics look like sackcloth, and her style made our best haute couture look like a garage sale! So tell me now, what women should dress like!! |

Hose & Heels 4Ever!"
Yeah, that's a nice combination, great for evening wear, but I also like the nude/suntan color back seamed hose with a nice pair of kidskin pumps (or court shoes, as they're called in the UK). And if you're really lucky, maybe a pair of slingbacks!. . . .

My Mood: Rep Power: 2  | Re: Stockings and heels Both my wife and I couldn't agree more with your points about seamed stockings. In fact, my wife decided to have seams tattooed up the backs of her legs so that she can wear shear stockings and not have to worry about the seams becoming crooked. She used to find that after wearing seamed stockings all day long, the stockings would get pulled out of line whenever she sat down and stood back up again. |
