At what point do women surrender all elements of style and switch to pure function? Has the trek to and from work begun to rival that of an expansive, arduous journey? Really girls- What is this, the Oregon trail? The commute from center city to its outlying counties does not merit running sneakers. If you MUST retire your easy spirit career collection pumps for the 45 minute train ride, at the very least let them be remotely relevant to your outfit. A pair of flats in your bag would due.
Also, while I have the mic...
I've seen the photos of the hoards of young women wearing sweatpants and Ugg boots for their annual pilgrimage though the underbelly of Delaware County's drinking subculture. I'm talking about Erin Express, and I have to question the necessity. I accept that it's a daytime event- which always calls for slightly casual attire, but is a proper pair of pants really cockblocking your drinking game? Are you so concerned with vomiting in public comfortably that you've resorted to wearing pajamas? It's bad enough that your riding in a school bus. I've had my share of drunken nights. Shit, I've braved 100 degree days on Citizen's Bank asphalt, and 10 below nights marching down 2nd Street all the while managing to get inebriated, and stay comfortable while wearing socially acceptable attire. Seriously girls, the right pair of jeans can make your ass look phenom' and god forbid you end up somewhere out of Delaware County, you wont be that girl wearing sweatpants.
I'm not a snob, I'm a woman that abhors the complete disintegration of the modern woman's sense of urgency to look complete when stepping out. I believe that you never get a second chance to make a first impression.

This is my plea, replace your running shoes with flats and slip them on under your desk after you clock out, this way if you're too uncomfortable to wear your heels to happy hour you wont look like a half-assed marathon runner when you finally chat up that guy in accounting with the nice ass. Reserve your sweatpants for the gym, Saturday mornings on the couch, and quick runs to the store. Make the switch and I promise that you'll either thank me or admit that I was right in my judgement.
