And with my improperly-healed broken toe, they’re unbearable to wear. I have large feet and not even pointy toes will camouflage that, so I just deal.
Wear tights instead of nylons. A good pair of tights won’t run if you look at them funny, and if they’re opaque you don’t even have to shave your legs. I had a pair of black opaque tights that I wore literally every other day when I went to Catholic school. They lasted the entire school year, and then a couple years of occasional wear when I left Catholic school. You could get some in fun colors like burgundy or dark green, or some textured ones. I have some with a sort of floral crochet pattern that I really like and get tons of compliments on each time I wear them.
Plunging neckline, garter belt, fishnet stockings, black eyeliner . . . Wait, what exactly did you mean by “professional”?
