Caught Unawares at a Hip Bar

Tonight I went to see my brother-in-law, Matt Martin, on Jeopardy (Matt- you were awesome!). We went to this place in Arlington that I had never been to or heard of. I got there right on time because I had the kids with me and they needed to eat dinner, blah, blah, blah. Oops. I realized immediately that I had underestimated the hip factor. First, I had two little kids with me. The twenty-somethings streaming in did not necessarily think that was cool. Second, I had not realized that this place was really cool and my very casual outfit of cargo pants, black tee shirt, and some jewelry was not totally cutting it. Thank god I had put on some cute black wedges instead of just flip flops (which had crossed my mind since I knew I'd be chasing my adoreable little monsters). Of course, since I always accessorize, I was safe. But, if I had planned a little better, I would have looked more like this...

    First, I wish I had a few more inches on me so I think you're lucky to be tall. But I know the dressing dilemmas you face. Check out these boots by Ash. 4.5 centimeters for the heel height (that's less than 2 inches). They would give your legs and rear that high heel shape without getting so much height from all these crazy 4-5 inch heels out there. And you'll be more comfortable!
