will i look somwwhat gopping in..

[thriftychic]

a skirt and these www.swedishhasbeens.com/braided-low-p-8.html

They are not to my taste at all, I would look like my nan in them.

BUT - if you are tall and gangly like a baby faun they will probably look ok.

Hmmm....depends how you wear them. For example..

Boden/White stuff a line patterned skirt and said sandals=frumpsville
Short shorts with a blouse=trendsville

Love them. I have similar from Miss Selfridge (a tenner in the sale!) and I wear with everything including skirts.

Agree with Nilbyname to an extent but WRT to Boden skirts - I think it depends on the length. Most Boden a-line skirts are a hideously frumpy length. However, I have a daisy print version from about 10 years ago which I lopped about 3 inches off the hem so it sits an inch above my knee. The sandals look great with it. Ditto the A-line linen dress from last year which also sits above the knee on me.

Having said all of that, I do think some women can rock those sandals with an on the knee or below the knee skirt and look incredibly cool in a Stella MacCartney-esque way. A gentle nod to 70s summer chic.

thanks , i think i will give them a go although the swedish hasbeens are a bit pricy arent they ! maybe i will try something a bit cheaper .

I love them. Really, really love them. Not frumpy at all.
