<p>^ What a hoot, wnp - the blue gel Ferragamo slays me!</p>
<p>I think the rose gold sandal may be the one . . . Thanks~</p>
<p>I know - sophisticated jelly shoes.</p>
<p>Just chiming in to say that I agree white jeans are a wardrobe staple. They can be quite understated when worn with a longer top - once the bum is covered there is no risk at all. Urged on by my friends on CC, I recently wore white jeans and a paisley print tunic in white/orange/navy to a wedding BBQ - I felt very comfortable, fashionable, and appropriate.</p>
<p>I like the rose gold sandal - the Ferragamo jellies…are awful.</p>
<p>Here’s a turquoise and gold sandal. This brand is insanely comfortable.</p>

<p>Oh, that Beautifeel turquoise/champagne number is wonderful. But can I spend so much on my kid’s shoes??? So demure and stylish.</p>
<p>I have a pair of Beautifeel – they are amazingly comfortable.</p>
<p>Oh, oh. Shoe lust.</p>
<p>Looking for advice on what to wear (shoes) with this dress. I’m going to my D’s MBA graduation ceremony at Georgetown. It’s probably going to be warm. I don’t wear really high heals (nothing over 2 inches). Don’t think flats would work, but was wondering about wedges. I’m stumped. This is the part of shopping I hate. I need someone to put all the pieces together.</p>

<p>wnp - Those are some serious pink suede heels:). Glad you liked the dress!</p>
<p>Bromfield - Brown rope wedges?</p>
<p>I just got these to wear to spring graduation events. They are very comfortable but I think might not be bold enough for that fabulous dress, Bromfield.</p>

<p>The heel might be a bit high, but it sounds like the shoes are very comfortable. And here is my absolute favorite:</p>
<p>[Salvatore</a> Ferragamo Vara Bisque - Zappos Couture](<a href=“The Style Room - Women | Zappos.com”>The Style Room - Women | Zappos.com)</p>
<p>( I stumbled upon this:

and can’t get the darn thing out of my head!!)</p>
<p>FYI - the Ferragamo jellies are not comfortable. I returned the pair I ordered (in a different color), because they hurt my feet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep, that. Fluevog. Reminds me of shoes young adults might buy to wear with vintage wear.</p>
<p>Love, love the cork slide.</p>
<p>Alum - a little tongue in cheek - but when we started talking spring colors and suede, your dress popped in my head.</p>
<p>Whew - I am glad we got the jellies out of the way!</p>
<p>I like the Ferragamo Vara Bisque for Bromfield’s dress. I love the dress AND the bangles they showed with it. I think wedges are a good choice for graduations. Invariably, you end up walking across grass to get somewhere. </p>
<p>Sewhappy - I occasionally splurge on something for my daughter, but unless she absolutely loved those shoes (or you have the same size foot), that wouldn’t be where I would be extravagant. All of these shoe possibilities look like items WE would love - but you never know about our daughters.</p>
<p>I’d worry that the Ferragamos are too sedate for the animal-skin patterns. I’d be tempted to go rawer, if we aren’t adding rope texture to the mix. For example… </p>

<p>Check out the Tory Burch shoes at Saks - there are many that look particularly nice with the dress. I like the idea of a brown or natural color shoe with a bit of orange.</p>
<p>Alumother - those Fidji shoes are gorgeous and the comfort review intrigues me. I think they’d be perfect with Bromfield’s dress.</p>
<p>Gourmet - all gorgeous shoes, the Birman is sublime. Wish I could afford . . .</p>
<p>sewhappy - I tried to address your question about transition, today on the blog. [In</a> San Francisco We Are Always Transitioning | Privilege](<a href=“In San Francisco We Are Always Transitioning - Privilege”>In San Francisco We Are Always Transitioning - Privilege). In sum, I think if you’d be willing to order several online and return the bad actors, a trench should be findable:).</p>
<p>A privilege as always to read your great blog, Alumother. You did it again. I want that Madewell jacket . . .</p>
<p>My pleasure! Madewell is doing a great job making hipster accessible to the rest of us. Go Jenna Lyons, the Steve Jobs of mid-range style.</p>
<p>Love the shoes, Alumother and Gourmetmom! (Also like my ads on CC so much that I don’t want to clear out the cookies). The Fidji sandals would work really well with the dress, IMO.</p>
<p>Since I looooove wedges, I just had to scout Zappos for them. Here are some safari-inspired wedges (not all have heels that fit Bromfield’s criterion, but they are so lovely, I could not simply pass them up!):</p>

<p>How fun to play SHOES!</p>
<p>Here’s one I’ve been eyeing for a couple seasons now. At 3-inches too high for me, I think, but I think they just have that certain something:</p>
<p>[Cordani</a> Evan Platform Slingback Espadrille - Garnet Hill](<a href=“http://www.garnethill.com/cordani-evan-platform-slingback-espadrille/shoes-accessories/shoes/view-all-shoes/144509?listIndex=2]Cordani”>http://www.garnethill.com/cordani-evan-platform-slingback-espadrille/shoes-accessories/shoes/view-all-shoes/144509?listIndex=2)</p>
<p>toneranger-Jergens natural glow is working for me-</p>
<p>i had glow in the dark legs. I tried tanner stuff before and it was a disaster. I ended up with patches and streaks. Ick it was awful. That was years ago and i wasn’t about to try it again. But then i read something in a magazine about the tinted moisturizer that jergens makes. It has worked for me so far. I got the type that said for fair skin because i was scared. It is very gradual and just gives you a tiny bit of color. I also just started using the same sort of stuff for my face, since i don’t tan outside any more-especially my face.</p>
<p>About wearing high heels when you are tall…Ok i am not close to 6 ft but i can get close to 5’11’’ with certain styles. That is taller than my husband and plenty of men that i run into. I love being taller than my husband with those shoes on-it makes him feel like a big shot(haven’t you seen those guys on the shorter side walkin around with the hot tall chick??). I have a pair of super high black boots that i call my superhero boots. They would work with a cape and tights!!</p>
