If Charlotte is from Silicon Valley, she will probably most likely fit right in, given the number of trophy wives/girlfriends in the area (not that I am implying that Charlotte is a trophy girlfriend, she is instead super-fantastic for seeking the advice of the Manolo). There are lots of well-off male engineers in the area who have well-dressed significant others. However, the Manolo's description of "numerous, pasty, social-maladroit cyber-stalkers" is entirely true. I would know, I happen to be a female engineer . . . who wears Manolos :) I disagree with Vizia.

Charlotte will likely find herself feeling rather overdressed in her adorable sundress and truly-super-fantastic-parade-pink Jackie sandals, as all others there (men, women and children, even dogs) will be in company t-shirts, shorts, and Tevas with socks. Possibly sneakers. Possibly amusing headgear. At least, out here in Silicon Valley, this would be the case. It's quite possible that geek society elsewear is less casual. But in either case Charlotte will still be superfantastic, and cause the teeth of many there to gnash. (And by the way--not only are many geeks extremely attractive, athletic, and fashionable (except at picnics, I don't know why), but coffee beverages, Odwalla or Jolt! are the drinks of choice out here in the Valley.....)

To have the Manolo himself validating La Petite Acadienne's taste -- what a lovely way to end the week!

They are so basic but very classy in a way. I would probably go with the white myself because I would be able to wear them with more than one outfit. I love these sandals.
