Minging Tutter.
Overweight home counties type who has a dh in the Rotary club would wear these to a dinner/dance.

Not bad Piff.

NomDePlume · 10/04/2006 18:48

Piffle · 10/04/2006 18:49

moondog · 10/04/2006 18:50

Yes Piff,elegant but look sturdy enough top walk and maybe even dane (gasp!) in.
Are you tall?
I am,so always feel a bit like a bloke in drag in high heels.

\link{http://www.faith.co.uk/catalogue/style.asp?range=101&subRange=422&curPage=2&style=792085\More forgiving on the ankle but poss a bit too glitzy}

Piffle · 10/04/2006 18:51

NomDePlume · 10/04/2006 18:52

NomDePlume · 10/04/2006 18:53

Piffle · 10/04/2006 18:53

NomDePlume · 10/04/2006 18:54

Piff, '" is taller than average. I think the UK avergae height for a woman is 5'4" or something, pretty tiny though.

JoolsToo · 10/04/2006 19:03

like that 2nd pair NDP - I prefer plainer stuff mesen - I'd find all those dangly bits annoying.

Piffle · 10/04/2006 19:43

I like dangly bits, it will take the attention away from my crap toenail painting job Grin
Ps WTF colour should I have my nails?
Simple pale shell pink?

Go get a pedicure, then you can wear clear polish on toenails and they will look fab

moondog · 10/04/2006 19:48

No,I'd say coloured polish de rigeur on feet.
And please-no peep toes and tights.

georginarf · 10/04/2006 20:09

this is really bugging me!

Frenchgirl · 10/04/2006 20:13

please not the ones with the dangly things, they'll annoy you after 5mn (and they're not that pretty), sorry....

I'd say either clear varnish on toe nails and a shade that goes with your dress on finger nails or the other way around, but not both and no french manicure

don't go to drastic with the hairstyle....

you're going to look amazing!!!

and we'll be expecting photos

Piffle · 10/04/2006 20:18

TIGHTS Shock

I have not worn any kinda leg hosiery since 1987 when it was part of my compulsory school uniform
I'm getting a light classy barely there fantasy tan :) Grin
pedicure and manicure have been on going for a few weeks now.
pls give me permission for the dangly shoes I feel at peace now I've seen something that might wrok Wink
photos yes will bring photos back :)
I cannot do clear polish on toenail as an accident with a racehorse many mons ago means the big toe is an evil colour.

OP posts:
Frenchgirl · 10/04/2006 20:26

ok so pink on toe nails and a gorgeous natural/clear on fingernails

I think those dangly bits will get caught between your toenails and you'll be in agony after a while......
