Kitten heels + cuffed pants = bad idea.

If you wear heeled shoes with cuffed pants, you will trip. You will catch your heel in the cuff and fall forward in slow-motion, as if you're sliding into home base. Except home base is someone's cubicle in the desktop publishing department. And you'll try to play it off with a a friendly "Hi!" Like this is the kind of entrance you make all the time. But instead of laughing with you, she'll look at you like you're Urkel, and she'll ask you in a voice that parents use with kids who are constantly getting into mischief if you are OK. She won't laugh with you.

Redfaced, all you'll have in your defense is a skinned knee.

i notice that i ALWAYS trip whenever i wear high heels and cuffed pants at the office, though the same thing never happens when i wear uncuffed trousers.

moral lesson of the story: avoid cuffed pants, or any pants with a large "allowance" on the hem.
