The MOB/MOG Dress Extravaganza!

The smallish heels and non-locked foot are my concerns. Hence the continued shoe-hunt. (Hubby has not complained about the 4 pair I brought home today. Think he is relieved to not be along for the ride like he was for the dress-hunt. One pair not wedding candidate, but hey I had $30 Kohls credit.)

Interestingly though this particular pair is quite compatible to my narrow foot and gives better support than some of the heel strap shoes I’ve tried. I was so impressed by them that last month I ordered what seemed exact same K&K style in white, but I had to return them… too “gappy”.

Actually, the strap set higher up makes these types of sandals or mules comfortable and stable. Feet don’t slip out of these types. I’d be more concerned about the pretty heel getting dirty from the soil and grass. :slight_smile:

We were flipping between the Derby and the rerun of the coronation, and I’m pretty sure I saw hi-lo floral print dresses at both.

For the coronation, seemed more solid color dresses with regular hemlines (many just below the knee), than floral hi-lo type dresses.

I watched the Kentucky Derby but was paying more attention to the horses and jockeys! But, florals there probably were popular.

Definitely the horses were better dressed at the coronation than at the Derby.

@mom2cats , That’s a pretty dress. It’s included in this collection of pretty dresses. I think all the blues are very nice.

Fun link! We skipped the coronation festivities, but I liked seeing all the formal dresses. It was nice also to see the traditional gowns - Bhutan, Malaysia etc.

Thanks for the royal fashion links, I watched zip of the ceremony but liked looking at the women wear and have to say nearly all of it I really like. Good example of dressing up, not “over” dressing and some beautiful color and styles.

Thanks! Harry looked good. Probably happy that he could just pop in and then run home!

Beautiful dress. :heart_eyes:

Thanks for posting the that link. Many of the of outfits were absolutely lovely. I too especially liked the traditional dress of so many countries. But the shoes - OMG - my feet hurt just looking at some those stilettos!!!

I told my husband I should get a dress like this to wear to nephew’s wedding.

This showed up on my Facebook feed just now, probably because I was looking at coronation dresses!

But, I also wore a very light blue mist sheath dress for son’s wedding last year so maybe Facebook remembers I like sheath dresses! :smile:

Looking at the pics posted by @sevmom, seems there were a lot of ladies at the Coronation wearing practically the same pair of beige high heeled shoes.

Yes, I noticed the same. Not too much shoe diversity! Jimmy Choo and Manolo must have had a great sale on beige heels! :laughing:

I bet Jill Biden’s JCs were the same shoes she wore to the inauguration.

I noticed it too. I’ve had it in mind to someday get some beige heels. Maybe I should try to find some soon, while block heels are available. (Most of my dresses/skirts are fairly casual.)

$50,000

That’s how much it cost to join the star-studded guest list for the Met Gala this year—well, that, and Anna Wintour’s seal of approval. Even though designers and donors have grown accustomed to paying five figures for the biggest night in fashion, this year’s price tag was up 67% from last year’s $30,000 ticket. Inflation, amirite?

Nice that the outfits were modest and tasteful. I admit didn’t look at feet and shoes.

Clearly you didn’t have a job at Thom McAn shoe store in high school like I did :wink: For myself, picking shoes is all about comfort. But I do have fun looking at shoes. Of course some of those MET dresses were so over the top I may have missed the shoes. But I did notice them at coronation photos.
