Hustle and Fug

I am not one of those women who is all, "white shoes after Labor Day? My lands! Why, this misstep will rend the very fabric of decent society! Where are my smelling salts? Loosen my stays, or I shall swoon!" But white shoes are very, very hard to pull off, especially with a white dress -- unless you are a bride, a nurse, or a stripper dressed as a bride or a nurse. As Taryn Manning so helpfully illustrates:

Oh, my god. While the dress isn't bad (in a totally Stars on Ice kind of way), these shoes actually cause me physical pain.  Are they orthopedic slippers of some kind? Why would she do this? Why? When she could have worn a silver strappy something and looked totally acceptable, as opposed to looking like someone's grandma trotting out to the shuffleboard court? Listen, we have a finite amount of time to wear painful yet attractive shoes, and we must embrace it. Avoid the orthopedics until absolutely mandated by your poor sad feet!

And seriously, even then, you don't need to wear these.
