OH MY. errrrrrrr... very flattering.

I know it can look cute, but I can't pull it off. I don't have the personality or whatever to wear sneakers and a dress. And given that this is my only dress, I dunno, chucks wouldn't work with it.
And I think it's unflattering on my goofy face. My boobs look fine. The dress does wonders on them.
I agree. That is not the dress.
I need to find a dress that is chuck friendly, then. Really, my only complaint against them is the typical sockless shoe requirement, so if this can fashionably be amended, I'm all for it.
dresses and sneakers are stupid
no exceptions
I see women in skirts and sneakers, but I think it's too much of a punk kinda thing, I'd look goofy as hell trying to do it. :(
Well dammit I only like socks and shoes, haha. I'm trying here.
rockstar's opinions don't translate to the real world.
It looks stupid.
The real world is of no interest to me. Its full of bad music and girls who dress poorly.
Flats would work for you I think. Here let me find a pair, wait a sec...

These are from forever21 and they are only 20 bucks. Comfortable and cute. I did pay full price for that dress, it's so cute I want it now! :)
The rest of us aren't rockstars. We don't have to accept sneakers with dresses because the girls wearing such an ugly combination are not going on stage after we see them.
I think a casual dress and monochrome lowtop sneakers would be fine, if it were the right dress. I am trying to find one similar to what I've seen. Otherwise, I need to find some flats that would hide those special cut socks well.
Oh and pull your hair into a messy looking bun, keep the glasses and you have the bookish hot librarian look going. Wear a white/cream necklace (you can pick one up cheap at like claires or something) to go with the shoes, keep the twins perky and BAM. Hottie.
I really don't care much for jewelry, but I like to have a plain necklace on to fidget with. I've got the one pictured that my stepmom gave me, and a string of small pearls that I got from my boyfriend's parents. They both look okay with the dress. I'll try the hot librarian hair up thing, lol, but I plan on cutting it short soon (long enough to pull back since I rarely like it down)
I just wear black flipflops with the dress, the somewhat platform ones. They're my only non-sneakers. I cheat and put socks on once I get to work or stay home though.
lol k
I have the greatest taste in women known to man. I also know that a) your taste in women is far more questionable than mine, and b) sneakers with a dress looks retarded and is only done by punk and wannabe punk girls and old crusty women coming home from a long day of work.
Blv.
I would say that dress is a little too..err...dressy for flip flops. I would rock some heels with it myself. I do love me some flats though. If you don't like heels, try kitten heels they are pretty much flats with like an inch heel. Like so:

If you wore these, side part your hair with low pony tail, ditch glasses, put on snazzy victorian style black necklace. Keep twins out. Profit.
I might be able to hide socks in those. I have some thin, wide ankle opening black socks that I got with my old pair of heels for high school graduation, you can't tell they're there. Hmm. I can't walk in heels at all, though. Not very practical. I prefer something I'd be able to run in if need be.
btw, men don't care anything about hills. If you wear them, do it for yourself.
Every woman should be able to walk in heels.
I have pretty shitty all over hyperhidrosis. If I don't have socks on my feet swell and sweat from being uncomfortable, and I get a nervous reaction about it, and it makes me miserable.
Incredibly lame. If I have socks, I'm much better off and comfy.
it's not a style or preference. It's sort of 'I am medically retarded and I'm a drippy sweaty white person' problem.
Also, style wise, I can't really ditch the glasses. Wore them for years but I've got eye allergies and the contacts don't give me enough air, my eyes get mad itchy. I can only wear them for a few hours at a time during off seasons. I think I look better in glasses, anyway.
Edit: Holy fuck, those shoes are $135? You've gotta be kidding.
what the fuck are hills? Heels? Then you're wrong butt, many men find heels to be enticing. it's a fetish.
yeah really.
I like girls in heels. Its makes their posterior nicer to look at.
I know. Just explaining, since they asked. I have no issues with the style or general use of heels, though I prefer sneakers, but this is why I have a strict sock requirement. I'll happily wear anything if I can wear socks with it.
I dunno, what about this? It's kind of sneaker/sock ish but still... not? Something similar?

Those would be considered flats, my dear.
I see that, as they're mostly flat. I'm trying to find something I can wear that doesn't look silly with a casual dress.
They would be fine. As long as the color matches the dress.
The red label bothers me, cause the dress is purple and black. If you ripped that red tag off. Then yes. perfect for your problems.
Also ... stockings. They are like socks, but they are more airy so it feels like you are wearing nothing. I'm sure you heard of them.
I'd laugh at you if you walked by me wearing socks with anything other than sneakers. I'd also laugh if you were wearing the sneakers with a dress.
Wear stockings or pantyhose or something instead imo. They were popular as shit on girls in London and goddamn if the girls there weren't hot and stylish as shit.
Has to be cotton socks. I know I'm insane and dumb so don't bother going there again. I've obviously tried to solve the problem, and failed. Rich, the entire point of socks and me pointing out that they're cut differently is that you can't see them with a lot of shoes. If they don't have an exposed toe or side, the sock is hidden. Everyone wins.
You wouldn't get on someone's ass if they had a skin condition and didn't want to wear an exposing tank top. Think of it that way. I wear socks, and want nicer shoes. It's not amazing.
here Nomi this is what I am talking about.

go with a solid color. Vertical or horizontal lines would make the ensemble retarded.
Thanks. That is genuinely helpful, Advocate. I have a hilariously slutty plaid miniskirt I got as a joke gift and I should totally rock it out with some cotton stockings.
**Shocking I know**
You're welcome.
Whenever I come home to Gainesville around club closing time (2 am, lol), I like looking and laughing at the drunk girls staggering around.
It's like there's a uniform for appropriate club wear:
- Black top
- Jean skirt that's just long enough to cover the vajayjay
- Obscenely tall heels
I guess I just prefer girls that can be categorized as pretty or cute rather than hot.
I don't like girls in high heels.
The lower ones are okay, but those super high heels look tacky to me.
Exactly what I'm talking about.
Those = drunk girl on the street at 2am yelling stupid shit about how she still just wants to dance or whatever. Then she gets plowed out in an alley by some dude wearing a seashell necklace.
I like a girl in heels if she can walk properly in them. Nothing is more unattractive than a woman clippity-clopping around in heels she clearly doesn't know how to move in.
I still have a crush on Nomi.
I'm thinking about purchasing this fine timepiece:
http://www.bungersurf.com/nixon/nixo...white_hero.jpg
Usually I think Nixon watches are overly priced or overly ugly, but this one is only ~$130 and is hell of classy.
ugly imo
round faces or bust
Why would you buy a watch in this day and age?
When do you not have your cell?
IBTN
I only wear a watch when I put on a suit nowadays. Even then, I still usually don't.
i realize this is just after everyone has declared their hatred for heels, but.... omg shoes!!! i just got these last night. the black ones are for a wedding and the green ones are because i heart green shoes for life. i rarely buy high shoes bcs i rarely wear them but these are def exceptions to the rules.
I'm getting a tattoo of Cthulhu on my right arm from the shoulder to a little past the elbow.
That's my style.
Then comes the band-aid over a scar on my elbow.
Nah, I like squares. Its wierd, I know. It's just my thing.
I think it looks cool. I want to wear it. Same thing goes with tattoos.
(I realize it's a different type of "thing" but fuck it. I've been drinking. I like how it looks, I want it, and it's not astronomically expensive. Enough said.)
A friend of mine just dropped by 50+ pairs of vintage shoes from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I wish I had a picture of my friends and I going through them, it was quite a spectacle. Keeping some, selling some, but all the heels were too small for me. :/
I love high heels but they are incredibly impractical for just about anything I do. And I'm a whiner, "wah wa wah, these make my feet hurt."
Nomi, if you'd like to wear flat shoes with a dress, the dress must be pretty short. Long dress + flat shoes = kinda of blah. They aren't necessarily a bad combo, just sort of boring. If you like boring (god knows I do) it's fine. Socks with them...wellllll, you can punk it up and wear knee or thigh high socks, flats, and a shorter dress, but depending on how cliche you feel it might not be so nice.
I don't think I've worn a dress in years. hm.
I guess if a girl is trying to get 100% dolled up, heels are okay. Otherwise, noting appeals to me more than a girl in sensible footwear. Save that pretentious shit for someone else- I don't want to hang out with a girl that can't break into a sprint at any given time.
Yeah, I'm not a jewelry kind of guy at all. Watches are pretty useless when you have a cell. I have a nice one I wear with suits and shit, but otherwise I don't touch it.
Meanwhile, I have a friend who loves watches. Last year he dropped $7000 on a fucking Breitling. Fucking $7000. Now I make sure to make fun of him every time he bitches about how broke he is.
Bitch gots ta gets me mah money.
It's not a must or anything. I don't even care, really, what the fuck you're wearing on your shoes. But I do appreciate a girl who knows how to be a girl and not a tom-boy all the time. Skirts, dresses, heels, etc.
Real prostitutes all know how to use high heels like throwing stars. It's true I read it in a pimping quarterly journal.
I'M SCARED OF ANYTHING THAT GOES AGAINST THE NORM!
I still find a watch practical, if only because I can't keep my phone in my pocket (girl jeans alert) so having a watch is faster for acquiring the time of day. I've had a simple silver, small round face (silver with a dark green trim) one for a two years or so, love it to death. I feel incomplete without it on everyday.
Catsmeow, the red/black heels are cute. I like heels and they make me feel sexy when I wear them. I am really short and they also give me some height as well. I don't really wear skirts too often but I LOVE dresses and own many. I pick them up for cheap at wet seal or forever 21, most of them are under 25 dollars. I do splurge on clothes every now and again. I probably only wear heels 1-2 times a week, the rest of the time it's chucks, pumas, tigers or flip-flops.
Edit: LOL @ Dole.
It's kinda funny- his business is slow lately, and he was looking to economize a little by leasing a cheaper car like a Toyota Camry…that is, until I told him how it would look rolling up in a Camry with a Breitling on his wrist. He ended up leasing another Mercedes, albeit a cheaper one.
Got these shoes to go with the new grey/pink dress:

I have my grandfathers pocketwatch. I like pocketwatches more than wrist watches.
Do you think this is going to stop me from making baseless accusations about your intent? Because you'd be wrong.
For the record I don't care if a watch is round or square. There are nice square watches and nice round watches. I'm not going to write off an entire category because of a shape. I'll judge each watch as I see it. Because you can say you hate a square watch, but someday you'll eventually see a square watch that looks awesome. I don't wear watches though. One time I was wearing one and tried to open up a door but because of the extra weight I misjudged my own strength and ended up swinging my hand in to a womans eye really hard causing blindness. But now when I recant the story I tell everyone she went blind because I'm so handsome. True story.
I have this amazing watch my great-grandma bought for my nana when she graduated high school, and it got passed down to my mother and then me. It's a gold Bulova watch, but it unfortunately doesn't work (hoping it's just a battery) and it fits my tiny wrist perfectly. Once I have the cash I intend to get it fixed. Because it's old, I'm having a hard time finding someone that will look into repairing it. Reluctant to have a family heirloom be sent out, you know?
That watch screams tacky with the cheap, plastic look.
That's not nice. But it is true.
Is that a Swatch?
It's the strap more than the face I don't like about it.
There is just no pleasing TNL :lol:
NOMI, NICE CANS.
EDIT: FUCK NOOOOOO about Steve & Barry's.... I love buying cheap ass work polos from them.
Guys, if you're going to wear wrist watches for any reason at all please make sure they are discreet and professional looking. I'm sick of seeing these garish watches peeking out of a man's sleeve when he's wearing a decent suit. Lowkey is what you're aiming for.
And keep it simple. Black/brown leather strap with a small and quiet face. When you wear a wristwatch with a huge face, you're attention whoring and you're not going to get the right attention. Believe me, a small yet professional watch will give you the right look when you're aiming for style.
T-shirts under blazers ftl.
I'd like to know why that's a problem. Please, give me a reasonable explanation because all fashion gurus want to know why their opinions are wrong.
Foreals. Stop being dumb, drew.
it's silly how little you know of the world when you're so much older than me. Stop speaking on things relating to money. It's obvious you have no background in the area.
lol, I've upset you. Are you going to do this the rest of the day, or do you have it out of your system?
It has barely left this thread. Get over yourself.
I feel naked without a watch on, unless I'm at the crib, when I'm literally naked most of the time anyway.
I'd love to get a certain Patek Phillipe, but I don't want to shell out the dough for it because that's contract killer money.
Just a t-shirt under a blazer is hardly anything even remotely resembling hipster.
I'd say it's just for lazy dudes who don't take that extra step to look 1000 times better and wear a well-fitted button up.
When I see buttcheeks or Andrew writing for GQ, I'll take your words under advisement. Until then, I don't give a shit.
