Morgan’s List Of What NOT To Wear To BlogHer

Posted on July 31, 2011 Written by Tonya

While I’m still enjoying a little R&R in Hawaii (I’ll try not to rub it in), my friend, Morgan of The Little Hen House is here to keep you company.

I’m happy to say that Morgan is a IRL (In Real Life) friend and she is simply darling. Her writing is everything mine isn’t; witty, sarcastic and laugh out loud funny.

Morgan is also a mother to two adorable little girls whom Lucas loves spending time with, she raises chickens, writes for several mommy-centric Web sites, shares great advice on blogging, hosts a weekly Dr. Mom feature featuring her own mother and because she doesn’t have a TV, spends A LOT of time scouring the Internet for sometimes bizarre and always hilarious items. 

The other thing Morgan does really well is Top Ten lists and here is one that she’d like to share with all of us…
________________________________________________________ 

There has been a lot of talk about what to wear to BlogHer ’11 this year, and shoes are no exception. If you’ve ever been to a blog conference before, then you know one thing is for certain: There are going to be many, many bloggers wearing really cute shoes.

If you are shoe-challenged, then have no fear! Sometimes the process of elimination is the best way to decide what to wear. So, here is a list of the Top Ten Shoes You DON’T Want to Wear to BlogHer ’11:

Butt-Toning Sandals: 

Because this isn’t the “special” look you want to be going for. 

Teeva High Heels:

Just don’t even go there, ok?

High Heel Flip Flops:

 There will be people wearing high heels and there will be people wearing flip flops. You can’t have it both ways.

Nike Clogs:

 Wear Nikes, wear Crocs, just don’t wear these.

Thigh High Converse:

 *sigh*

Pink Leopard Wedge:

 The quickest way to take a little black dress from “day” to “street walker”.

Stripper Shoes:

 This shouldn’t need any explanation. If it does, I think the conference you are looking for is in Vegas.

Five Finger Running Shoes:

 I don’t care how comfortable they are, they just creep me out.

Scary High Heel:

 These take the term “spike heel” to another level. 

Pony Heels:

 There are no words.

I hope that gave you a little direction! Stay away from any of the ten styles above and I can guarantee that you won’t be the worst dressed person in the room. You’re welcome!

I urge you to follow Morgan on Twitter and Facebook and look for her epic posts on hosting a celebrity baby shower, Top Ten Reasons I Suspect My Children Might Be Trying To Kill Me and Celebrity Guest Post: My Summer Plans with everyone’s favorite gal pal, Gwynie.

    I am one of the shoe clueless and this was hilarious.

    I find it didn’t help me too much, as I didn’t even know eight of these shoes existed, but I’m not attending this year.

    My husband loves his five finger shoes. They also creep me out if he wears them for anything other than running.

    I will think of you all having a blast at BlogHer, while I hide away in my comfortable running shoes…

    Good thing I’m not going. I’d be really bummed if I couldn’t wear my pony heels!

    These are great and many I’ve never heard of. Though I did see a billboard for the 5 finger (toe?) running shoes and was pretty creeped out. I mean, really, can they help running?

    The five finger running shoes creep me out too! When I was doing all my training for the LA Marathon, a handle of runners wore them to every training session and I couldn’t help but stare at them a little. They are just so strange looking!

    I am glad to report that of my 50 pair of shoes, don’t even say it, I only have one that fits the description of your 10 worst. I gotta say I have a pair of all black “5 toe” shoes in a cheaper knock off brand with only 4 toes. Without a doubt the most comfortable shoes ever. So comfortable in fact that I forget I have them on and have actually walked out of the house in them.

    Of course they are pretty much relegated to jeans wear, walking trails, and the best thing for lakes, streams and standing in knee deep water helping get the boat lined up and on the trailer. I admit to being a barefoot fanatic since I was born, but since shoes are kind of necessary to protect feet, they are the next closest thing to real comfort.

    Even so, the grey/lime-green combo is just too hideous even for me, a convert. How could they possibly have come up with a color combo that looks like a cadaver foot with mold growing between the toes? That color is not genius, it is not funny, it is barfable. What were they thinking????

    Sorry the above comment was so late after the post, I’m a slow reader.
