A Great Invention

On Saturday my baby brother got married. Up until then my Mom had a minor dilemma. It was minor, but a dilemma nonetheless. You see, my Mom wanted to wear open toes shoes, but she didn't want to wear nylons with them - and neither should any of you if you pay attention to our blog. (Check out Zeke's entry on that topic here.) I told her to go without nylons  but she told me she wouldn't feel comfortable bare-legged as her legs were too white from winter.

So the big day arrived and she told me she was wearing nylons. I was confused as it looked like she wasn't. Then she told me that she bought toeless nylons. I had never even heard of such  thing, but sure enough that's what she was wearing. So I thought if I didn't know about such a thing, then maybe others don't know, so here I am letting you know that they exist and they look awesome!

Here are some brands that make them:

Silkies 65 Degree Control Top Toeless Pantyhose $10

Berkshire Queen Ultra Sheer Control Top Toeless Pantyhose $6

Hanes Silk Reflection Ultra Sheer Toeless Control Top Pantyhose 3-Pack $25

You can hold saying "thank-you" until I get back because I'm off to the store to get me some of these! Finally I will wear my open toed shoes a whole lot more. You're welcome.

Friday's Faux Paw

There has been much debate over today's faux paw. Some say it's fine provided you wear sandalfoot nylons, while others like me say it's tacky. I'm talking about wearing open toed shoes or sandals with nylons. My opinion is if you wear open toed shoes or sandals, then go barefoot or you will look like you're a grandmother - and not a stylish one at that. My Grandmother is actually very stylish, but I digress. If you don't believe me, then check out the photo on the left and see which foot looks better. It's extra bad if you wear nylons with open toed shoes or sandals in a colour other than nude or black - remember the white nylon craze? I heartily say paint your toenails and let your feet be free. And get a pedicure while you're at it.
