I hate pantyhose with sandals too, but this is creepy!

It's summertime and the cubicle dwellers at Bitchy's office have once again lost any fashion sense they might have had. 50 something ladies are wearing short denim miniskirts... too tight twill capri pants... long flowing 'mother earth' skirts that are appearing for the 20th year... the younger crowd is sporting club wear and HR is constantly slamming inboxes with "dress code reminders"... It makes Bitchy reflect on the few fashion rules that she knows.

When Bitchy was just a wee little girl her momma gave her these pearls of fashion wisdom.

1. White shoes should only be worn between Easter and Labor Day.

2. Wearing pumps with jeans makes you look like a prostitute.

3. You should only date boys who are substantially taller than you, that way you can wear heels.

4. You should never wear pantyhose with open toed shoes. If you do, the devil wins.

Bitchy ignored number 3, and number 2 is somewhat questionable these days. Although to be fair, you have to keep in mind Momma came up with these during the 80s so picture BRIGHT BLUE pumps and skinny Guess jeans. I realize that some people continue to argue point #1, but in the Midwest, you do look like a tool wearing white shoes in the snow/slush.

Anyway... Point 4 is solid and the one thing that Bitchy and her Momma can agree on. Open toed shoes with hose is all kinds of bad. Largely because hose by itself is all kinds of bad.

So imagine Bitchy's horror when she spotted this new yucky product, split toed pantyhose so that you can continue to wear your hose with your sandals. Dear God! Why would you purchase these? Why? Just go with bare legs, or if your office doesn't allow that, go with closed toed shoes. Or pants.
