black biker boots (barratts, about 900000 years ago)
black mini skirt that is all uneven hems and bits of black net dangling off it (asda via charity shop
black longsleeved tshirt (h&m)
grey boyfriend cardi (sainsbos)

also flesh coloured tights with coloured flowers on (h&m). my MIL saw me and thought i had tattoo'd my legs Grin

i am also admiring of ladies who can pull off brogues without looking lke miss trunchbull Grin

Cyb - you know when you go to Next and there is that rack of heinous frocks reduced to pence but that not even Noel Fielding would consider?

i buy them Blush

is about 3 years old so no linky but is orange tweedy on the top, then very thinly quilted orange skirt with white hexagon pattern on bottom, comes to mid-thigh

i have been asked if it was Boden Grin

aquavit - i will pass on your good wishes to the rocket dogs Grin

though i am getting slightly concerned, they have been at the boot place for over a week...maybe the bootman loves them so much he has run off with them...

Cyb · 13/01/2011 14:20

with brogues- It helps to be 5 ft 9

I will look out for those frocks next time I'm in Next!

MayorNaze · 13/01/2011 14:21
  • white hexagon pattern is on bottom half of dress, not one's own bottom Blush

nothing would surprise me, mayor (wrt the bootman, not hexagon patterns on your bottom, that is)

I have the height for flat shoes but brogues (anything that shape, really) just look wrong, somehow: too schoolgirl maybe? or it might be that while my legs are good my arse is on the (ahem) generous side. Perhaps they'd work with a miniskirt but all the 16yos round here are working that look so I'd feel a bit of a twat.

I rather fancy the idea of looking like miss trunchbull: perhaps I need to acquire some tweed, too.

iwilldothis · 13/01/2011 15:00

Brown calf-length boots
Opaques
Dark denim mini
Pink long-sleeve tee
this cardigan, except mine is in navy
Fuschia scarf

Cyb · 13/01/2011 15:01

aqua my arse is big too! I wear them with rolled up boyfriendy chinos and no socks in the spring and jeans in t'winter

aquavit · 13/01/2011 15:20

rolled up boyfriend chinos with brogues: nice, cyb

But, while I'm sure that you don't look like a duck when you wear brogues with skinny jeans, even if you do have [cough] reasonably sized feet (? iirc from ancient shoeboot thread), I can't help thinking that I do.

perhaps it's the feathers

shouldnotbehere · 13/01/2011 15:27

I work from home, and dont have any appointments, so:

thermal walking trousers
