Fashion over function. LoP's mom often tells us about living in DC in the 60s and trudging through the snow in a skirt and high heels. Apparently, they had not yet acquired the practice of going everywhere in sneakers and changing when you get to the office.

Speaking of sneakers, my dad used to call them "tenny runners" and I've never heard anyone else do that.Was it a Nebraska thing?
