Any ideas on where to find boots tall enough for really long legs? I’m 6′ tall. Thanks!

Bare legs are not appropriate in colder climates no matter what anyone says. The boots in the picture also do not work because they lack the sleekness that evening wear should have. Each to their own but I would not call those two things appropriate.

I am not expert but why not wear what ever you are comfortable with or what ever makes you happy because in my defense then only you will get full confidence to do what ever you are doing with 100% efficiency plus unless you are paid by your dress code why do u have to dress for some 1 else but your self. Like i said not an expert just my opinion.

Yes bare legs are alright if you can endure it, and yes black opaques would be too dark with your ensemble. Try black sheer hose or very fine black fishnets instead.

Are bare legs ok in colder climates if you can endure it? I have a black, short sleeve, cocktail dress that is all sequins. I am wearing it with black, patent, peep toed pumps. When I tried it on with black opaques, it looked just too black/dark. My legs still have some color from summer, they are not super dark, but not white either. I live in Chicago, and this party is next weekend. Will I be making a huge fashion no no with a bare leg?

Oh, and my dress is black, A-line and Strapless (Jcrew find) – soooo cute. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to accessorize it (and as per prv entry) what to wear for ‘slippers’.

Hey, there!

I’m hosting a casual holiday party and I would love to wear a strapless mini…thinking about adding tights underneath…Shoes are optional because we typically do not wear shoes in my home. Advice?

Of course, Debbie, sometimes to be fashionable, we must endure pain. I wore a sleeveless, short (navy) dress, (pink) slingbacks, and sheer hose (the kind that offer minimal protection) to my (evening, outdoor) February wedding in New York City three years ago. I was cold but gorgeous! ha!
