It would be so awesome to have someone to go shoe shopping with who understands the struggle. I am crazy and rock a full length black stocking in the dead of summer downtown with dresses and just know I am getting stares. I just smile and ignore it. I tell myself I am super unique and regular people just don't understand my super hero leg, lol.Moncia19https://www.blogger.com/profile/06434140106405537494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329063637874730125.post-83775001895878524832018-03-10T06:33:14.463-08:002018-03-10T06:33:14.463-08:00Great blog sports!!

I have finally given up and now just wear sheer or opaque black stockings with hot pants and fun regular knee high socks. It’s cooler than having layers over the stockings and it’s a cute outfit. Another cute outfit I put together is calf high stockings with wide leg pants and sketchers or tennis shoes. I also found some calf compression sleeves and am toying with wearing them under a maxi dress with sandals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329063637874730125.post-12520885686677961422010-05-14T12:15:16.736-07:002010-05-14T12:15:16.736-07:00Your blog showed up while I was searching for info...Your blog showed up while I was searching for information on which stockings to order for living in the tropics... my husband and I are moving to Laos to work with World Vision and, well, yeah. The tropics. Lymphedema. Not a good combination. But like you, I don't want to let it cramp my style too much, so we're going to give it a try.

My lymphedema showed up when I was 12 years old (Lymphedema Praecox) during puberty.Claudette (Ricketts) Pfingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546132426027415621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329063637874730125.post-34392760473930503982010-04-22T08:58:12.838-07:002010-04-22T08:58:12.838-07:00I'm too short for maxi dresses!

I'm trying to remind myself that my health is more important than people looking at me funny because of what i'm wearing.Cassandranoreply@blogger.com
