- I'd have to agree that an ankle bracelet looks better with minimalistic
- dress (ie. flats, sandles, or bare feet). I have actually noticed ankle
- bracelets on people and have yet to see one on a person wearing high heels
- or any such atire and can't imagine it actually looking that good. I find
- that ankle bracelets on bare outherwise "unintresting" ankles are VERY
- atractive. Of course I'm more of a purist than some people and believe
- that one should not unnesisarly adorn oneself. I find people who have the
- natural look the most apealing. Sandles are VERY atractive (especialy
- during a Montreal winter ;)). Bare feet are atractive also. I can't see
- anyone in their right mind sugesting that a person wear high heals with an
- ankle bracelet. I supose I must be among the minority here (of course from
- what I've seen here about ankle bracelets I seem to be among the majority).

- P.S. If I had the pleasure of being female I am almost certain that I would
- wear ankle bracelets with bare feet and sandles also think I would probably
- take them off when I was REQUIRED to dress up. Just a personal prefrance
- though.
