Im sure they will be fun to style up! But for now, its summertime, i wear ballet flats, sandals, i even have a pair of white lace trainers that are so cute with dresses or summer trousers! Judi. xx

    @heidimeigs5192 Před rokem +1

    Even though I’m only 5ft tall I wear flats almost exclusively. I just don’t like high heels, they hurt my feet badly. And, I’m older and retired so have no need for a very professional wardrobe. I wear loafers with jeans or ballet flats. I do have 2 pr of low heeled ankle boots that I wear with jeans in the fall and winter. I wear flat slide/sandals or flip flops all spring and summer and into early autumn. Sometimes autumn doesn’t really end until into Nov. here where I live. I’ve bought quite a few cute dresses for this summer. My legs are still pretty but at 65 I suddenly don’t want to wear shorts in public much. Plus, tee shirt dresses and long, thin, knit or cotton dresses are much cooler in Alabama because it’s very humid as well as hot . I agree that heels do elevate an outfit, but my life is very relaxed and simple….also, at 65, I don’t really care any more about “dressing up”.

    I love my new Sezane “Babies” in the pinky nude. They are super flattering, elegant and comfortable with their block heel of about 2.5”. These are what I choose for wearing with my better dresses, for evenings, etc. They are quite dressy enough for any California occasion, but look great for everyday, too. I haven’t seen a woman actually wearing higher (3-inch or higher) stiletto heels here since the mid-90s or so.

    I tried Vivaia Aria shoes. Alas, they were NOT comfortable for me. I think if you have a high arch, they aren't a great shoe. Maybe in the hemp fabric, but not the recycled bottles. I've had one pair for a year and they still aren't comfy for any kind of serious walking. JMO.
    I reaally do like the wide color selection. That is a huge plus for that brand!
    I tihnk ballet shoes, in general, are hard to wear. That aren't as comfy as one would think. They tend to cut right overr the delicate bones on the top of your foot.
    I do agree with you Deirdre that a more elongated toe is very flattering!!!

    @kimberlyperrotis8962 Před rokem

    I never could wear heels 3-inches or higher, I think it’s because my feet are so short that the angle is just too steep. I love 2-2.5-inch heels, wedges, etc., the extra height gives me back the confidence I lost when I discovered three years ago that I’m not 5’6” anymore (i’m 63). I’m only 5’4”, no wonder I looked heavy at the BMI I calculated for that height. I took the extra weight off, too, that helps one’s aspect ratio.

  • @jennyp4934
    @jennyp4934 Před rokem

    Really enjoyed this but wanted to ask for advice. I'm in my early 60s and have had a history of fracturing my feet, not because I've fallen but because I've stepped on stones or uneven ground and my foot has just gone over, so no more pretty shoes for me. I have to wear closed shoes that hold my feet very firmly. These shoes although needed are quite cumbersome looking and I'm wondering how I can wear them and still feel like I look nice and well dressed. To add to the issue, I'm quite petite and only 4 foot 8 inches. Thanks for your video.

    • @yvonneannibale5980
      @yvonneannibale5980 Před rokem +1

      I would say wear white trainers with as many outfits as you can. They are in style and look great. Also look for a great nude or skin colored shoe that is flat and gives you the support you need. They are out there you just have got to look and even try on. It may not be exactly what you want but it should give you versatility you are looking for. Unfortunately as we age we must do whatever is best to stay independent. Another thing I heard of is to start your outfits first with the shoes. So pick out the shoes you need then the outfit that works best with them. I thought this was a very helpful suggestion. Hope this helps you. It did for me.

  • @iahorvath
    @iahorvath Před rokem +1

    Great tips Dierdre! The only option that I am adamant about are flip-flops. In my opinion, they belong on the beach. There is nothing more unattractive than someone dressed beautifully (man or woman) and then you look down at their feet and you see flip-flops. It ruins the outfit. There are so many other options, as you have demonstrated, if one has problem feet. Ladies, peave your flip-flops for the beach.
