Just ordered Clarks Originals retro sandals!

[messylittlemonkey]

these

LOL! I'm sure I remember those the first time round

I was looking at them last week and it is only the thought of my DH calling me Sister Magdalena that is stopping me ordering them.

ewwwww - jesus creepers...... that is beyond retro!

I bought the tan ones recently and I love them.

The white ones featured in this month's Elle btw - that's where I got the idea.

Oh, they are nice!

I am not young or cool enough to wear those without looking frumpy!
they would look fab on some of my (very cool and funky clothed) friends though

^
I wear them with short skirts and dresses or with jeans to avoid the Sister Magdalena look, Mme Lindt.

Not to be worn with this season's midi skirts, I would think.

Oh I wanted a pair of those for sooooo long - until about 10y ago. Too late for me now.

Ooh Jesus sandals. I used to have them in navy blue for school about 30 odd years ago .

I know.

I've umm-ed and ahh-ed for a while but am hoping to make them look cool rather than frumpy - it is a fine line though!

I'm thinking nice toe nail varnish, tanned legs and certain skirts, jeans (as MmeLindt says) and I should be ok.

I'm 36 by the way.

gah now THAT is what I want for my children, but can i get them anywhere? no

just plain buckle up sandals.
meh

Beg your pardon, FrancesFarmers, it was you who recommended the skirts and jeans, not MmeLindt

OOOOh they would look lurvely with a nice pair of thick navy socks

Actually I do like them but I don't think I would carry them off with ironic insouciant cool just orthopedic vibes (nearly 37 y'see).

No sorry couldn't wear them myself they're jesus sandles that you had when your were 6!!

It is indeed all about the ironiv insouciant cool, bigmouth

Sorry messy - we are contempories - I will need photgraphic evidence to be convinced I could wear them though - especially with my footballers legs...

Ew - I don't think these are retro - they've never stopped selling them in Littlewoods Catalogue have they?

coudl SO imagine those looking cool

if worn in VERY TRENDY WAY*

warnign to all white stuff women

think would look good with loose dress SHORT and denim jacket and cross body bag

Yes, yes, yes, mikerotch (good name btw), they MUST be worn with cool clothes. Not good with Boden or the like.

Piuty they dont do theym in a bright poster paint patent green say

I can imagine my mother wearing those.

OMG I remember them. Does that mean I am retro?

I had those for years I think. Everyone did.

I love that green, mike, would love them in that colour.

or with turn up dark rinse skinny jeans and a loose white kaftanny blouse and hoops
