Need serious help here. I have a couple Athleta Dipper Skorts and Whatever Skorts that i've always really liked and i think my workplace is casual enough for me to start wearing them to work (Bettona pants, and Dipper pants have been my staple, but as it's getting close to 100F, they're not as appealing )
the problem is, i don't have any good shoes to wear with skorts/dresses. last summer I was a SAHM so mostly just wore flip-flops with them ..but i think that is way too casual for work, plus IMO i sometimes think it looks a little dumpy..i'd love something a bit more "dressier".
the (huge problem): i hate wearing heels. Don't get my wrong, I loove the look of them, i think they LOOK awesome, but I just cannot wear them for 8 hours a day, especially if 3-4 hrs i am standing/walking. Now that it's summer i see a lot of women at work wear heely sandals or pumps without hose with dresses/skirts, but i just can't pull that off..i work in a lab often (not just sitting at a desk), and i have knee issues and i just don't want to go down that road.
So, i don't know what is left. At work with pants i usually wear Dansko clogs or sometimes even sneakers. But with skorts or dresses, that obviously doesn't work. I think it is the lack of socks/tights thing....in the winter i wore corduroy skirts all the time, and just wore tights/hose with mary janes. But in the summer, when i don't want to wear socks/tights, i'm just stumped on what shoes to wear. So are there any options?? I'd be willing to pay anything to find something that works!!! It's just so frustrating not being able to wear half my wardrobe bc i can't find a single pair of shoes to wear. And i'm not that picky (i swear! )
The other challenge is that the shoes have to be easily worn without socks, but have to be breathable and not make my feet sweat...i did find a pair of cute Crocs flats for super cheap a few mnths back,and i thougjt that solved my problem, but after wearing them for 2 hours i felt my feet were sweating up a storm and they started itching! Argh...
