you won't totter as the heel is rather chunky

They are very nice, I want them. They would go really well with wide leg trousers too.

Those are gorgeous shoes. I think you could wear them with skirt or trousers.

Cod that was your original name wasn't it?

My school uniform from the 70s

well, these are nicer but they make me a bit nostalgic for the days when I could walk a few inches taller without falling over.

Not really my thing as I don't like closed in shoes (or any other type give a choice!)but I would have thought they would be good with long skirt or wide trousers.

I love 'em

Also keen on the double strapped ones in tan.

I wouldn't wear 'em with jeans though.

fishnets or opaque tights/hold ups if you're not feeling brave enough for f'nets

fitted pencil skirt

fitted top

V sexy Miss Moneypenny look.

Or opaque tights and little shift-type dress.

T-bar shoes also good for these looks, imo

BTW, chunky heels MUCH more forgiving and flattering on non-supermoggel figures than stilettos

Nearly all my footwear is of the boot variety, and after seeing a photo of myself in flat boots today have vowed to invest in some heels, being vertically challenged as I am. I agree that chunkier footwear is better on less-than-supermodel legs, otherwise you can have a tendency to look a bit miss piggy-ish with trotters stuffed into stilettoes. You have convinced me - I am getting them and will wear them with jeans, my clingy little cashmere sweater dress and may even buy a pencil skirt
It's about time my wardrobe reflected my age - I have dressed like a student for too long.

I am thinking slim jeans and a top like the Boden empire line top in purple (farking sold out in my size, grrr). Would like to do a link to said top, but computer being a bollocks today.
