If I were doing a sit down author's talk it would not occur to me that my feet would be at the eye level of the audience. But sitting in the front row, although not directly in front of the author, that is what I kept focusing on. Since I "came of age" in the 1950's I cannot adjust to wearing shoes, especially high heels, without stockings. I know it is the acceptable thing now and I even saw a "review" of the clothing worn by actresses at the Oscars that bad mouthed someone because she wore hose. That certainly put me in the fuddy-duddy class. We wore anklets through high school and then graduated to hose with seams that had to be kept straight up the back of one's legs and were held up with garter belts. Then in 1959 pantyhose were invented - Hallelujah. Here is a page that tells that story:

Jacqueline Winspear has pretty decent legs and feet and she can wear whatever she likes! I wear knee highs with my slacks. Can't help myself.
