Cali

Take your boat on a trip to a location with better (concrete) towpath. Otherwise it's only when you do a tour for a group.

I walked across a wet slanted exposed stone driveway this past weekend in my JS knee high boots with block heel (and black faux leather pants) and almost slipped out. It's that compound angle that gets you every time. Try it on a slant greater that 10 degrees. (Hope your medical insurance is good.) A carpet with a soft-thick pad underneath is a nightmare, especially in stilettos.

Even a slight tilt can cause problems. We have a sidewalk between buildings with a tilt towards the center for drainage and I always feel like I am about to fall over when I walk down it.

I too have a cowl neck sweater dress, for me it just an extra long sweater that keeps my back warm in the winter so I can use less gas to heat my house.

I was out traveling to a 400-450 person conference this past. Flew in early (and in my JS knee high) and had dinner with a friend I had not seen in several years. While at dinner a woman walked by in what I would say were 12 cm pointed-toed bejeweled stiletto sandals. Just gorgeous. At the conference itself the leader wore some very tall stiletto pumps (several during the conference)..over 13 cm...but then she is tall and I bet has size 13 us or 45-46 eu More on heels and this trip in CaliWorld in a few days after I rest. But a tip bit, flew back in faux leather pants and JS knee highs. 15 hour day, meetings and flights.

I can attest to that. Even the summer can be that way to. I was in Bath in June and it was cold, wet, and windy And then Scotland ... I was also at the Edinburgh Castle in the same trip in June and the cold-wet-wind made me think I was at the top of a double black run when its -5F (-20.5C) and howling. I was so glad I took my heavy duty ski jacket for that summer time trip. Can you return them if you don't fit or if you don't like them in reality? Then it a (as we Yanks like to say) NO Brainer.

No problem. Haven't worn a watch since the sixties. Besides, I don't think the magnets are that powerful.

Once my nail bed on some fingers started to have issues, I had to get the nails covered with acrylic to hold them together; then you need to cover the acrylic with gel. That was 10 years ago. It took awhile to get use to having colored nails. I get compliments from both men and women, and may people will compare my nails to their....really no comparison You could start with a translucent gel with a very little color. Or you could ask your nail tech to do a magnet gel on your baby fingers. I think she would be excited to do it. The polish is sometimes called 'cat eye' when you use a different magnet to get the total cat eye effect. Cat eye nail polish works by using special formulas with metallic or iron particles that are pulled into patterns by a strong magnet. Google it and see all the effects you can get. It very similar to the special effects of some car paint jobs in the 70's

I went to a brown with magnetic copper sparkles. The magnet oriented the sparkles so that one direction it looks brown-copper, another direction orange-copper, and another direction yellowish-green. The magnet also put thin bright copper waves across each nail.

That goes ditto for eucalyptus trees and their pods. Live with with both.

Good time for wide flare longer pants.

I drive in heels and barefoot all the time (but not at the same time). I wears heels, I get in the car and drive. Only heels I not fond of driving in are stilettos, because my heel tip digs into the mat.

Many years ago, I told myself I would get earrings when my mother died, it would kill her (I thought). Now she is well over 100, I wonder if I will ever to it. Having hairless bodies is a function of gyms and tattoos. That 'cute girl' tattoo is not as cute when it is hairy. I need sections of my body hairless to tape, so I get waxed regularly.

I've bought and returned 4 pairs of heels this year, all didn't fit. But I have not seen many I like lately in the first place.

I only get regular polish on my toes, but I see some women that get gel on they toes. Maybe if you going on a tropical vacation with lots of walking in sand. You could start slow with a tint instead of pure color. Or you could go all out with glow-in-the-dark polish for Halloween.
