clothes that are slightly frumpy yet irresistible.

[superstarheartbreaker]

Have just seen a beige ( supposedly grey)fake fur coat that is not sexy but love it. It's cosy.

Am also partial to chunky knits and heritage fabrics. Anyone else?

Will not stretch to mum boots though!

I've got some fairly high heeled OTK boots. They keep my knees lovely and warm.

God I've been lusting after a pair of trainers from gabor or rieker

Oh leggings. Wonderful, kind baukjen leggings. I wish I could stop but I can't, I just can't.

Hotter Pixie boots
So comfy!!

Queenbrunhilda - Mrs Brown's clothes screamed Avoca to me - might be worth a Google; they've a sale on.

Thanks for the tip-off Part, will investigate. Have got stuck in heritage-frump mode (never quite shook off 'Granny takes a trip').

I have a liking for clodhopping pastie-like shoes. All my shoes are fugly (to many people) but practical and damned comfy... DMs, Keens, Art company flat styles etc..

Edith. They are red wing boots

Technical wear is amazing!
I'm safely wrapped up in hi viz gore tex when I go out on site. The UK weather isn't going to get me!

I also love proper wicking gym kit.

Selks...you and me both. I dont do neat shoes. All must be round at the toe and chunky!!!

Ohhh yes, chunky shoes. DMs especially. Plus I'm developing arthritis in my big toe joint which makes heels just too damn painful.

Greengardenpixe and Fishandjam.....at last, two chunky shoe kindred spirits! I thought I was alone in this! Tell me your favourite shoe brands, particularly those that are round of toe. I love a wide toe box.

If I could afford them, I'd get these

Red Or Dead do some good fugly shoes. Lotta From Stockholm or Swedish Hasbeens for retro clogs (which apparently are going to be A Thing for 2015). Clarks Originals also score.

PartTimePunk- which Mrs.Brown ? As in Mrs. Brown's boys ? The link didn't work for me.
My mum thinks Mrs. Brown us avery good ACTRESS !!!!
My guilty (sartorial ) secret are my Sketcher's Chugga.
So comfy I thought f**k it and wore them to my local posh shopping centre the other day.
Fortunately I didn't meet anybody I knew.
Usually I'm well dressed

Saucony and New Balance also do some nice general purpose trainers which are a bit more than functional - like these

Fitflops. Will not wear anything else.

Ah, Red Wing boots. Thanks. Still too expensive, unfortunately. Love clumpy shoes and always need to check for a rubber sole now as well.

Hahah

Work boots

I get them free from....er....work

:)

Holly - it was the mum in the Paddington film; so altogether more groomed and with more desirable outfits than the other Mrs Brown!

I like my mum clothes.

long woolly cardigans and tunic tops , just bought this and this in grey.. yummy... ill be wearing them with skinnies and mum boots

I still can't get away from waterfall cardigans. The epitome of frump according to some mnetters!

Tunics and leggings. No no no

Elizabeth, I think you may have missed the point of this thread

Anyway - yes yes yes.

I love my leggings. Yes yes yes!
