so having collated much fashion advice from lurking on lots of threads, i have the following outfit to wear out with DH next week :-

navy/white H&M Breton top
navy skinny cargoes from Oasis
Black leather "biker" style jacket (had it for years so clearly very forward thinking Grin)

BUT

which shoes (MUST be flat) ????

TIA Smile

Surely a plain pair of ballet flats?
Or loafers?

Well helloooo moondog Smile

Just came along to offer exactly the same two options.

moondog · 17/03/2011 22:54

Oright Tether?
How's tricks?

My mind has been on more cerebral matters than frocks of late.

OhCobblers · 17/03/2011 22:56

yes, i was thinking ballet flats too but not sure which colour?
would black/purple blochs work? i thought perhaps not. Confused

have "pewter" gap ones but don't look anywhere nice as the Blochs.

silver ballet flats ...........

How about something like these, I saw them in Marie Claire this month. I think you could wear them with other things too, so nice and versitile...

thanks "LCR* but they're not really my thing.

i reckon ballerina flats for me but bit stumped on what colour goes with the navy/breton ??

I have red Bloch loafers I wear with a similar outfit. I'd wear my biker boots atm too which are black Belstaffs. Where are you going?

Have you seen the Next navy clogs? Too cold for now but perfect soon.

monkeysmama · 17/03/2011 23:09

In fact if you're wearing a black biker jacket I'd def go for black shoes/boots.

OhCobblers · 17/03/2011 23:16

MM very nice gastropub!!

love the idea of red blochs but have nothing in that colour. am trying to thing to the flats i DO HAVE so let me know what you think (pls!) :-

  1. flat black suede fringed ballerinas
  2. silver ballerinas (rather trashed though)
  3. Bloch charcoal grey/black
  4. Bloch pale grey / black
  5. Bloch purple / Black
  6. Gap pewter (synthetic and look a bit cheap)
  7. Gap gold - as above
  8. Black ballerinas - rather old looking and i ALWAYS wear them so don't want to IYSWIM!
  9. black suede loafters (more like a driving shoe i think!)
10. kurt geiger black/nude flats

over to the experts ................... Smile

am trying to think of (clearly too tired to think anymore, will check back in the morning)

3 or 4 I think. Grey & navy are good together. I like Blochs a lot for their feel good value too. They make me feel more glam than my M&S ballet flats.

As soon as you're out your footwear won't matter anyway. Outfit sounds lovely btw. Have fun!
