My sister and I own One Night Stand…which has done great in Boise. Online renting will be available soon, and YES you need more than just a black pump. (YIKES!) While your basic black pump can certainly work for several outfits, it does not cover all of your shoe fashion needs. Ladies, this is a cheap and clean, yes clean, way to look fabulous. Don’t knock it until you try it and do yourself a favor, upgrade your heels. 1-2 pairs will not do…

Stay tuned for online renting, it sounds like we all need it!

I’m not sure that even knowing the shoes had been “decontaminated” would overcome my personal ick factor. (At least with bowling shoes, you’re wearing socks. And I haven’t bowled in a good 20 years).

Then again, I never have anywhere that is all that dressy to go to. (And I consider it a perk of being in the business that I am that I do not get “black tie NOT optional” invitations on a regular basis. I had a friend whose husband was an administrator and the series of boring events she got dragged to – and had to have clothing appropriate for – was kind of mindblowing)

I have a pair of black pumps. I think they still fit my feet. I wore them to the last wedding I went to. I think weddings are about the dressiest event I’ve gone to…

Miss Manners once wrote that a woman’s “best” outfit is whatever she says it is — in contrast to a man’s “best” outfit, which, she opined, is defined “right there on the rental agreement.”

Well in a fashion, it’s pomo. Just as an artist can call a urinal “art”, the shoe wearer can deem certain footwear “dressy” regardless of what else the shoe wearer is wearing, what occasion the shoe wearer is attending, or what anyone else thinks about it.

“If they go with everything,” says the cynic, “how are they in the least bit dressy?”

I still think it would be more cost effective if you just get a pair of dress shoes that goes with everything. (Assuming, of course, that you don’t care about being seen in the same shoes all the time.)

I refuse to rent shoes anywhere but a bowling alley.
