So, I’m off again – this time to Florida for the weekend to visit my dad (he had surgery this week – but he’s doing fine 
) and this is my airplane outfit. I don’t know why, but I don’t like to wear short skirts/dresses on the plane; I like to keep my legs covered. AND, I was going to wear my Swedish Hasbeens clogs that I wore on the plane last time, but my feet are SO BLISTERED from my “cute” shoes yesterday that I don’t want to wear anything covering my toes 
, so I’m wearing my Calypso flat sandals.
I don’t get it, do people just suffer through cute shoes, or are you guys actually finding comfortable pairs? The Corso Como shoes I wore yesterday were comfortable, and it’s not like I walked miles, or stood around forever, I just had a normal day. But I wanted to CUT MY FEET off after wearing them. That’s never happened to me with my Swedish Hasbeens clogs, or Robert Clergerie shoes…or flats for that matter. What gives?
Wearing:
James Perse maxi dress
LnA tee underneath
Flats from Calypso
Linea Pelle bag

That is a great travel outfit- comfortable for lots of walking and sitting and waiting, but also lovely and chic….. plus the bag is fabulous!
I know what you mean about “cute” shoes. I pretty much stay in flats all of the time now. I love my heels, wedges, and such but even if I’m just going to lunch and walking around, I end up uncomfortable. At least there are tons of cute flats available!!
Cathy Benavides´s last [type] ..Whats In My Purse!!
Grechen, I think you look very cute and I also feel that flat sandals are perfect with the length of that dress. Oh, and I don’t know if it’s the lighting or what, but you look super tan! Have a safe trip.
I feel the same way about traveling on a plane. I don’t like to show my legs! Have fun in Florida. Glad to hear your dad is doing OK.
I’m exactly the same way about wanting my legs covered on a plane. It gets cold on there!
About the shoes, I think some of us are just (cursed? blessed? haha) with sensitive feet that just don’t toughen up like others do. I have a friend who worked at Aldo, where she was wearing 3″+ heels EVERY DAY running back and forth from the stock room, on their non-carpeted, tile floors! My feet cringe at the thought of such things. I can only be a solid heels wearer at work where our floors are carpeted and I spend most of my time sitting.
ugh. aldo shoes SUCK. i had several pairs years ago when they first came to the states and they were awful.
i don’t know…i feel very left out, because whenever i try to wear something other than clogs or flats, i am uncomfortable. and i HATE to be uncomfortable!!
I hope your Dad/shopping guru is doing OK! Get well wishes to him!!! And I hear ya’ about the plane…my daughter has had a couple of weird experiences in shorts (When she fell asleep, the ‘creeper’ next to her tried to cover up her legs with a blanket!!! YIKES!) so there’s safety and warmth in the long dress. As for shoes, I don’t think I’ve found a truly comfy pair yet; I’m a size 10.5 wide, so it’s next to impossible to find anything but ‘grandma’ shoes. lol
thanks, my dad is doing well, he came home from the hospital today
that’s creepy about your daughter. whoa. yeah, i always wear jeans or long skirts/dresses on the plane. just more comfortable
