Am I going to look funky?

[lovebug33]

I am trying to take only two pairs of dress shoes and one pair of normal shoes. Well, I have a cute cotton skirt and cotton top that I normally wear to work with sandals. Would it look really funky to wear my bejeweled dress shoes with the cotton skirt? TIA!

It wouldn't look right...something more casual with a cotton skirt would be better. Sandals take up hardly any space....bring another pair!

I can smell you already. That is funky. Please don't do it. Pack the sandals.

[lovebug33]

I feared such. I will just take another outfit that goes with the shoes.

Honestly, you need to take at least one more pair of "normal" shoes. What will you do if something happens to your only "normal" pair? I say this because on more than one cruise I've had to throw out a pair of shoes. Do you really want to be touring in your dress shoes?

LOL, I only take one pair of dressy sandals that will work with any dressy outfit I plan and a pair of flip flop type sandals and wear a comfy pair of sandals to travel in which will be for everyday wear. Shoes take up room and can get heavy.

Switch you priorities. Bring ONE pair of dress shoes, and two (or more) of "normal" - I bring walking sandals (Birks) and at least one more pair (usually comfortable casual sandals)

I am bringing two pairs of normal shoes, I'm just wearing the tennies on the airplane so I don't have to pack them!

[RoofingPrincess]

Me, too! Wearing the tennies, taking one pair of dress sandals that go with both formal outfits, a pair of flip-flops (to use in the spa area, don't think I'll be doing the pool much on an Alaska cruise) and then one pair of casual shoes.

[Kingisacruiser]

Ditto. One pair of dress shoes that go with both outfits. Usually strappy sandals are versatile.

Occasionally you can find a pair of sandals that will go with different levels of dressiness, but I find that I usually wind up with at least 2 pairs of shoes to wear at night.

 

You'll have more than one "normal" pair of shoes - right? Maybe a pair of leather shoes or walking shoes and running shoes or flat sandals? I've learned to bring at least one pair of something super comfy in case I wind up with a blister. There's nothing worse than having sore feet when you're trying to visit different ports.
