Thanks for the link, texstyle. It's opening up in my browser right now
old chic, gauche - Interesting thought about shoes! I think there might be something too that, because I do put on shoes to work at home or do chores - but not necessarily lace ups. I think I will join style fan in trying lace ups (!)
New note on the subject: Went to get blood labs today for my check up next week with my neighbor (who also coincidentally was going over to the medical center). While we were hanging out, we were - of course - checking out what everyone was wearing. This one girl came in wearing cigarette pants, a soft collared blouse, a short brick-red cardigan, and flats. Very Audrey Hepburn and also rather nun-like. I think that could be a good work-at-home look. Neat, slim legged, but not relaxed like leggings. My neighbor thought she was showing too much lower leg (as if she were expecting a flood), but I liked the pedal-pusher aspect.
I have one pair of these type pants, but not enough to get me through the week. I also have ankle pants in colour, but they're *roomier* and I'm not feeling rainbow colour for work at-home... but maybe it would be good enough.
