While I too have overdone it with heels (squeezed into 1 size smaller all night, just because they were cute!) One thing i would never do again is dress in a waist clincher with stockings...in the dead of summer...with 90% humidity...and having to ride the train and bus to commute between my house and work. Longest 10 hours of my life. Couldn't wait to come home and take that clincher off!
