Here
Thought they'd be good for warmer days when my toenails are looking a bit tatty, or Spring days when I still need tights. The chunkiness would possibly offset my treetrunk ahem, not-quite-colt-like limbs.
I'm thinking 1970s mum-look - A line skirt, opaque coloured tights, slim top...
Whatcha think?

They would look awful on me but I do like them. I'm too short so I think they would make me look 'stocky'
Lovely colour and a good price

Hmmm... I don't like crocs 
DurhamDurham (is that where you're from by the way? I'm from Newcastle, though I don't live there anymore): I'm 5'8, is that tall enough?
Maybe I'll order with the 20% discount & see what they're like.

Oh Yes 5.8" is tall enough!! I'm only 5.2.
I'm from Durham and live there now but did spend 20 years down south. Nice to be back

Yeah, I understand they're probably a bit Marmite... My main concern is mumsiness though, especially as they're from Clarks. And I'm a mum. And old 
DD: I've lived down south for over 25 years - eek! I do love it up north but I don't miss that cold wind straight off the North Sea brrrrrrr!

why aim for mumsiness? surely this is not a goal? like saying I want to look frumpy 
- not saying you are of course! Aim high girl!

I think those are the summer shoes I've been searching for! I don't like to show my toes. But I really like these! I wish they were a bit cheaper, though... maybe wait for the sale.
maybe I'm mumsy?

Ah soz DD - they are a) mumsy, b) frumpy, c) clumpy, d) plain nasty. I could go on but 
calls and i have run out of adjectives

These (Clarks's) look frumpy - somehow too tame and dull - but I like Swedish Hasbeens (or their Torpatoffeln ripoffs). I'm also a bit worried about the head-to-toe 1970s look. Perhaps it would look great on a supermodel, but I'd look like a librarian, or, worse, like my mum circa 1974 .

I'm sort of aiming for the 1974 look
Don't worry, I'd temper it a bit!
