    Backpacks?

    Thank you for the reply--I personally dislike backpacks as well. I tend to avoid them whenever possible. I'll be traveling some, begrudgingly, and it will help to have something that is carry-on appropriate and office appropriate. I'm looking over your suggestions.

    The dreaded pool party?

    What manner of attire would be appropriate to wear to an upscale "pool party?" I will not be swimming. The party is at one of my wife's "old money" friend's homes. Thanks!

    What to wear for a professional conference?

    That would depend on your profession and the standard of dress as well as your personal style. +1. Really depends. I have been to many chemistry conferences and the style of dress really varies. One conference was very small (60 people) and some came in jeans and Hawaiian shirts. Others came in...

    Facebook group about shoes

    Does anyone else see the irony in it saying "ELEGANCE what it mean for women and men" then the group picture being this: I think I actually saw a man wearing those blue fake alligator shoes in a whitecastle at 3am after a friend's bachelor party. He tried to sell us drugs.
