Okay.  It's one of those days in the office where I forgot about paperwork.  Now I've got to get that ALLLLLLLL DONE ASAP.  Before I'm forced into lawyer holiday party.  UIHGVNJKD
I hope you remembered the use the new cover sheet. There's a new policy with regard to TPS reports. 

 
Heels at holiday parties are a bad idea.  Mostly because alcohol is involved. But also because you end up spending a lot of the time on your feet.

Everyone I've talked to who wore heals to the party have regretted it.  No one cares about your shoes. A comfortable flat is perfectly acceptable.

I don't know a single man who cares about women wearing a dress / gown / outfit more than once to any party.  I will double down with the same thought to women wearing heels - in general, men don't care.  I've only ever seen / heard women down-talk the "fashion faux pas".

@Master slacker @tj_PE @Dexman PE PMP I feel like only tj is able to actually respond to this.  I mean, you all know that women wear heels not for guys but for other women?  It's like a sick psychological thing where the nicer/taller your heel, the more respected you are by your peers (at least in the NYC/metro area).  I actually connected with a senior BD person at another firm yesterday at the party because she loved my heels/lace stockings.  😂

As for wearing heels for a long period of time...unfortunately, my first job was in a bank where we had a "dress protocol", meaning stockings with heels/closed toe shoe.  No sneakers.  No loafers.  It was horrible, but it does mean I have a pretty sweet heel collection to choose from.  And the taller the heel, usually the better padding it has.  My cobbler is my best fried.  I just like to complain because I am an extreme introvert...that unfortunately is really good at putting on a show.

And I forgot I had a happy hour I need to go to tomorrow...Which means I need to dress nice to work today AND tomorrow.  I am wearing jeans and a sweatshirt on Friday-WAIT.  NO.  I CAN'T.  Doing a manor tour with family and need to look semi-put together so my grandma stops trying to slip me $20s (she can not afford to slip me $20s).

Ugggggggh.  This just turned into a ramble.

 
You don't, but admittedly on the right woman they can be pretty sexy.  But is sexy what you're going for at say an office Christmas party?
Sexy but approachable is exactly what I'm going for at a lawyer-sponsored BD event.  Especially since I'm not stick-thin/model pretty.

maybe youll find a hub there that's a lawyer and then you can start slipping your gramma 20's :D
