Godiva5 Posted March 20, 2012 #26 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm actually excited about dressing up for the night now :) Amazing how deciding to go for comfort can change the attitude lol Change your attitude.......change your life:) Try DSW if you'd like a nice selection of cute dress flats to try on in the store. The prices are also easy on the wallet. I unfortunately can't buy from them because I'm a 12W & they don't usually carry that size.:( I shop at Avenue & just bought a REALLY cute & comfy pair of platform wedges this past weekend. At my age (55), if they don't feel good in the store...they're NOT coming home with me. Just because I have "boats" doesn't mean I'll sacrafice the cuteness factor!

NoobCruise Posted March 20, 2012 Author #27 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've got a deep red cashmere pashmina I plan to wear with the dress. I'm always cold in California, so I figure I better be prepared for Alaska lol It's similar to this but I'll wear ir loosely over my arms http://www.verypashmina.com/true-red-pashmina-shawl I got mine at Target though for about $30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Sails Posted March 20, 2012 #28 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Walk into a Sketchers store and see all the sparkly flip-flop styles - I call them formal flip-flops. Although they don't provide the support that my Keen sandals do, I'll wear them for a few hours on formal night. Heard a ship comedian makes jokes about formal flip-flops - as I was sitting in the audience wearing them, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a hunch my feet would freeze in flip flops, not to mention I would probably not be allowed in the dining room lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducklite Posted March 20, 2012 #30 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Thanks :) I was thinking one of these. Love the sparkly one! Something similar in patent would be good as well. I'd probably avoid a black leather flat, I think the dress needs something with sparkle or shine. My opinion. By the way, I wear sparkly flat thong style sandals to a semi-formal event we attend every year. I have to stand four about five hours, and I'm just no longer willing to do it in heels.

And they actually do let you in the MDR. If the rest of you is formal, then formal flip flops will work. But of course, not in Alaska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
