Are you a social worker OP? Where's the yellow cord tights?

ObvsItsNotMe · 18/05/2019 19:27

If I could fit into a pair of yellow cord tights I'd be there. I do have a pair of mustard knitted tights from White Stuff... that count? 😂

OP...I forgot to say that my OH also has some...Start Rite navy blue ones They no longer go up to size 6 as they used to do as presumably they are considered school shoes and no size 5 child would be seen dead wearing them.

But yea...OH does get a few looks when wearing them

ginghamstarfish · 18/05/2019 19:37

Look like my old school shoes from many years ago ... not bad though, look comfy and hardwearing!

scubaprincess · 18/05/2019 19:37

Go for it! I'm fed up of wearing my 'mum uniform' and have been buying lots of random things that I'd never thought I'd wear. I figured life is too short to care what other people think and if you feel great in them why not!

flirtygirl · 18/05/2019 19:38

I had a black dm version of those and loved them.

TooManyPaws · 18/05/2019 19:43

I love both those shoes! Mind, you I'm 58 and spend my life either in Docs or Fitflop slides; I suppose I'm pretty arty/boho in general. I really don't understand why so many British women just want to fade into an uncomfortable boring beige background.

PetraRabbit · 18/05/2019 19:46

They're hideous on an adult but I'd love them on a small child. Ugly shoes can be cool so wear them with pride!!! Smile

letsgomaths · 18/05/2019 19:55

@ObvsItsNotMe So, did you wear your Red or Dead in public today, as you said? And were you sockless?

krankykittykat · 18/05/2019 19:55

I bought a similar pair that are patent natural colour last week :)

ObvsItsNotMe · 18/05/2019 20:02

I wore them in public. Sockless. No fatalities 😁

I really like them and much prefer them to Perspex "fuck-me" shoes or those awful glittery thin as string sandals.

Like what you like, all anyone really cares about is themselves!

Carpetburns · 18/05/2019 20:05

Brave

Thallo · 18/05/2019 20:06

I'm stuck if the only shoe options are mutant toddler or perspex fuck me shoes.

floraloctopus · 18/05/2019 20:15

I like them but they'd have to be a different colour so they'd match my clothes.

wanderings · 18/05/2019 21:16

I think these are far preferable to the current teenage trend of socks and sliders.

Rockmysocks · 19/05/2019 07:17

Love the orange red or reads and the gingham checks! I have doc marten Mary Janes from years ago with teardrop cut outs that I dyed red. They're fab.

ObvsItsNotMe · 19/05/2019 08:27

I'll be wearing them today with a grey linen dress,, white leggings, long moss green cardigan and silver accessories. There may be mass casualties.

Think of the children! Dear God womanShock

mizu · 19/05/2019 10:25

I adore them Smile
Off into town today to peruse Birkenstocks to wear with old TOAST dresses for the summer.

letsgomaths · 19/05/2019 12:37

My DH occasionally and shamelessly wears these in the summer, as if to pretend he's six years old. Perhaps he and I should team up: him in old school plimsolls, me in Red or Dead, and pretend we're a pair of overgrown kids! Grin

LoafofSellotape · 19/05/2019 13:20

Do they make those in adult sizes?!

Handbaghag · 19/05/2019 13:23

I luffs them 😍
I'm 46 and would totally take them off your hands...
