Accessories
There’s a glare on the picture of this amusing little coin purse, but what it says on top is “SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY.” Love it! I’d use it for a “lunch money” pouch — I’d keep all of my “buy 10 get one free” cards, along with change and about $20 or so — to take with me while making my lunch run for regular lunch spots in the area. It’s $4.99 at Modcloth. Hard-Earned Cash Coin Purse

Being Girly
Reader J wonders how one can walk quietly in heels…
One problem I struggle with is finding shoes that don’t echo down the hallway every time I take a step. As a legal assistant, I spend a lot of time running to the courthouse to file papers, etc., and I’m very conscious of the fact that my heels announce my arrival. I would love it if you could do a post about how to walk quietly!
Interesting question. My best advice, I think, is to look into getting rubber soles and rubber tips put on your heels — something a cobbler should be able to do for you fairly quickly and easily. The rubber should tread more quietly, and it should also prevent skidding (bonus!). (Pictured: Loud feet, originally uploaded to Flickr by blacktau.)
You may also want to make sure that your shoes fit properly — if your heels are sliding out of your shoes there may be an echo effect to whatever sound you’re making.
Finally, some shoes are just noisy — flip-flops, I’m looking at you — and just shouldn’t be worn at the office for that reason. A lot of platform heels also have this problem, sadly.
Readers, what’s your advice for how to walk quietly in heels?
