I saw a woman in the Science Museum today, who really could only be described as having "let herself go"

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Grey streaky "hanging" hair, huge arse and fat tum in grey tracky bottoms, footglove shoes, shapeless burgundy tunic top and hanging tits. She really looked like she had given up on life. In contrast, she had three dear little, divinely trendily dressed girls with her. She had obviously put a lot of thought and effort into what they were going to wear (down to the very funky hat one of them was wearing) but hadn't even spent five minutes on herself.

Why?

They are green shoes.

You can garden in them!

I have tried to tell all those non-believers this.

I keep asking on MN what they're made of. No one seems to know.

are you all drunk???

pph sorry. told you not to bother.

and the only nightmarish bit is boco's pickle jar which isn't my fault.

Croc info here

But I see the conversation has moved on to crocs - again! Ha ha, they are vile - Emperor's new clothes, anyone?

(although take no notice of me, I inhabit a Style cemetery).

The full range

I can ALMOST see why the closed-toe version would be a good shoe to wear ON THE BEACH or IN THE GARDEN - the ones with holes in are utterly foul.

boat in them?

'friendly italian styling'???? wassat then?

Hunker

GO TO BED

And yes I am shouting....

[shudder]

don't make me look anymore hunker.

i can't take it.

WTF though - the Professional style - "ribbed ventilation ports channel fluids away".

expat, i am wearing green felted wool geisswein slippers. not tartan. german. they are gorgeous. and absorbent.

I know just the slippers.

I'm wearing my Croc's with fleece socks just now.

Bit chilly tonight.

You can't do real gardening in any backless shoe. Crocs would only do for a spot of dead-heading along the borders - although people who wear Crocs probably have ceramic pots on their 'blue' decking

I'm only teasing, Lockets

I might even get some crocs for wearing on my boat

Hunker, are the Beach ones no good for the beach? Which ones do I need to get for when I go to Cornwall?

CF, I have less idea than a person with no idea, I'm afraid.

chocolateface don't do it - you'll look like a pantomime surgeon.

Hatrick...like this?

I already have some pink caymen ones, but have never dared to wear them out.I saw them in a shop a year ago and bought them on impulse before I knew what they were. I did put the rubbish out in them once when it had been snowing, they're rubbish in snow.

They make crocs look stylish, Hatrick... No mean feat

Deck shoes are comming back into fashion
