FurKids Posted January 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Have a mid-calf travel knit skirt for casual nights (going to wear with a nice t-shirt) should I look for flats or something with a little heal? Any ideas where to look? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted January 20, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm having trouble picturing a nice skirt with a tee-shirt ... especially if the skirt is in a travel knit. That sounds really casual to me, which makes me think of something like a sandal or ballet flat. Can you post a picture of the skirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas where to look? Thanks. I know exactly what you're talking about. Last spring I found some of the cutest wedge sandals in different colors with regular low, cork heels at Kohl's. Inexpensive and very, very comfortable. I wore those a lot with skirts and dresses. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas where to look? Thanks. I think that there are quite a few variables here that you're not telling us, so we don't have a visual..... What's the skirt silhouette? Full, Slim, A-Line, etc. What's your figure like? Are you short and round, tall and thin? Do you have thin legs? Heavy legs? I think that there are too many unknowns here to give you an opinion that has any meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurKids Posted January 20, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Having problems posting picture. Skirt is A-line with small split in the back. I'm 5'6" and a size 10 if that helps. Didn't think of checking Khols but I will go there this week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryL_Trvls Posted January 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted January 20, 2009 A heal would be nice, a skirt that long needs a taller shoe to elongate your legs. A wedge is a good suggestion like other posted, Whatever you purchase t please make sure the heal isn't so clunky you want to make sure you look sleek not 1990s. (no offense to the 90s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzisme Posted January 20, 2009 #7 Share Posted January 20, 2009 it is difficult to say not seeing a picture of the skirt, but what came to my mind was definitely some sort of heel (....heal...which means a cut that then heals) I like the idea of the wedge if the skirt is really casual (travel knit) or slingback heel with some height (perhaps 1 1/2 to 2 inches) hope this helps you in your search!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryL_Trvls Posted January 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted January 20, 2009 OOps I didnt notice heal vs heel, no wonder something looked wrong when i wrote it .=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted January 21, 2009 #9 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Definitely wear heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine91 Posted January 21, 2009 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2009 With the A-line skirt at mid-calf, you definitely want a little lift, to help elongate your leg. Even if it's just a 1in. kitten heel. I'd wear a higher one, but I know some ladies don't do heels well. And please, re-think that casual T-shirt. There are SO many pretty, yet casual & comfortable tops & blouses out there. If you don't find anything at Kohls, maybe try DressBarn. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurKids Posted January 21, 2009 Author #11 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks for all the advice - will look for a small heal for the skirt and some tops other than t-shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanasail Posted January 21, 2009 #12 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Maybe some of us are not understanding your interpretation of T-Shirt. Do you mean an round neck, plain cotton, sporty type T such as a man would normally wear or a women to work out in. Or are you referring to a dressier type with perhaps a scoop or V-neck and maybe a pattern or some beading on it? If it were the dressier type I would think it would look fine, but not the plain cotton, sport type. That would be far to casual for a travel knit skirt. I think a heal would look nice but if you are not comfortable in heels a dressier flat would be O.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted January 21, 2009 #13 Share Posted January 21, 2009 IMO, taking into consideration your height, weight, etc., I would opt for a heel to elongate your legs, as the other gals have posted. Zappos is a great on-line source to check out. Good luck!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
