Women in skirt-suites wearing running shoes.
Unnecessary, and frankly vulgar. The woman who does this is generally wearing a well cut suite and expensive, so white-it's-blinding trainers. Not cool trainers, but very very ugly ones, probably ones that look like the ones your Mum used to wear in the early 90's. With a very sensible haircut. Not cool, no, but extremely sensible, like it was designed to tackle the elements in a head on battle. The awful trainers overshadow the suit, once those bastards are on your feet you may as well have worn a tracksuit.
The excuse, apparently is that one cannot walk/train/drive/cycle in heels (I can cycle in four inch heels in fact, so that is total bollocks) without doing terrific damage and pain to the feet. I know this trauma, my current abode is a good 40 minute march to town, too long a distance for the beloved click of stiletto on pavement. But do I don the ugly trainers? No. Never. Ever. Ever.
I wear ballet pumps, flip flops, beaded/studded sandals, wedges (well, the sole is flat on the ground....) In winter there are many glorious boots to be shopped for and enjoyed and tramped all over the big bad city 'neath a suite.
No excuses.
You are one classy lady :)
