Fortunately, everything went fine -except for: I wore a cocktail dress for the first time. To tell the truth, it was my first time I dressed up more formally than business suits. If you had seen theprevious diary, you might have presumed -I hadn't prepared a pair of shoes for the dress, and I was at a loss again!
When a massive earthquake hit vast area of eastern Japan last spring, there were many city people who became unable to go home due to traffic paralysis and many people had to go home from workplaces on foot. -One of my cousins was also the one, and besides, he had forgotten to bring his cell phone on this particular day -so it took time for me to make sure that none of my relatives were injured.

This showed us a lesson: it's a good preparation for office workers to keep their pair of sneakers in their offices just in case they have to go home from workplaces on foot

- More and more people seem to put emphasis on function in clothing
. One of my new friends who has suffered from hallux valgus says that wearing high-heels is a torture
. On high-heels, calves are firm -that's true, but such shoes are for parties we don't have to walk around; they are not made for daily walking. This time, I happened to have a pair of low-heeled fashionable sandals that went well for the dress, so I managed. But I need to find proper shoes -I decided
. It's lucky I have certain clear criteria to select shoes and clothes, knowing my good points and defects of my figure and body; For example... ・As I confessed before, my toes are shaped oddly by nature, so I usually avoid wearing high-heels taller than one inch.
The scar itself doesn't matter at all, but when I wear something cut so low that the scar is shown, I dress in layers. It's to avoid cooling my throat and chest, NOT to avoid delighting lecherous men NOR I'm concerned that my breasts are small
. Even if your throat is not as weak as mine, clothing that make people at a loss which way to look can be against manners. In short... Why don't we stop dressing up for appearance' sake at a risk to our bodies and health?
And foot-binding used to be forced in China, -But not now, at least in this country and other industrialized countries
