What should interest you more is that I was looking at something at another forum, and was astonished to find photographs of one of its regulars who has a larger head-to-body ratio than you do.

I actually put a ruler to the screen to confirm this.

That was your problem: you dressed as you otherwise would with a normal pair of shoes. You needed to go full-on Sartorialist.

This was such a success last year that I did it again this year. My wife says that people are staring at my feet. I have not noticed that. I do feel sort of conspicuous.

I really am. Linen suit though. That makes it OK, or less bad.

well, I mean, we all make mistakes. I am not going to sit here and say that every one of my outfits is a homerun. It is Friday the 13th so you can always fall back on that. Maybe you should have worn a white belt, that way there would be no doubt that you actually meant to wear the white bucks and not that you forgot your real shoes at home.

In other words, you will look like a clown.

I didn't forget. I just didn't want to bother. It's summer, it's California, I also brought seersucker pants and I am going on a boat trip. The white shoes will be useful for all that. In addition, I have one day of meetings and one nice dinner out. So the shoes won't be ideal for those but I don't care.

I guess since it's CAlifornia, you can pass off as one of those movie industry types. I am sure some bigwigs out there wear sneakers with their suits.

I won't be in LA for another two weeks, though.

Kudos. You might possibly be the only guy in "The City" who owns white bucks.

Btw, I think we're expecting highs in the upper 50s this week. It's horrible.
