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!

Oh I can join with the chunky boots/ shoes crew, check out duckfeet boots.

Seasalt rain coats. Skirts that come to at least my knee. Knitwear from M&S Indigo collection. Sensible boots from Clarks.

All you sensible flat shoes fans, have you seen Conker shoes?

I like the look of both Duckfeet and Conker!

I've got some heavy jersey harem pants. I heart them.

Phwoah! @ those Conkers. Actually, the yellow ones are very like some Red or Deads I have.

Oh god, you people are just enabling me! LOVE chunky knits, tweed (kind of wish we all had to wear tweed skirt suits and naice shoes what like posh ladies did in the thirties) etc.

Now want saltwater sandals, clumpy boots and a toast tunic AARGH.

I like a nice t-shirt material grandad top. Like you get in FatFace.

I like a nice pair of cords.

Uggs.

I wear a trapper hat when walking the dogs.

I do love a cardi.

And a onesie.

I'm a total lost cause, aren't I?

I've just ordered a tweed suit from House of Fraser...

So, given I am clearly amongst kindred spirits, I'll confess to a tweed pencil skirt in the Boden sale, which I'll wear with clumpy heeled brogues (and maybe some eccentric hosiery?).

What are mum boots?? worried

Well. Increasingly they are biker boots tbh

Mum boots??
gibber

What about these?
Are mum boots a bad thing?

Granny Chic

• anything wool, tweed, cashmere, pleated, silk scarves, brogues, boots.

Or

Shaker Chic

• Toast, Chie Mihara, Plumo, Margaret Howell, Nicole Fahri, Joyce Ridings and anything from above.

This has been me since about 14yrs old, apart from my clubbing years when it all went glitter and fairy winged for a bit. I love charity shops - ya gotta love a permanent pleated wool skirt for less than a fiver :-)

Although I did buy recently a pair of ear muffs. They are neither Granny, Shaker nor chic - but they are warm (and slightly Princess Leah).

I don't think those are Mum boots hex, I think these are. But frankly, I think we should all wear what we damn well like and phooey to the naysayers.

Fish, while I agree with your last statement fully, those boots are granny boots so much so I think my actual granny has a pair

Hell Elizabeth Biker boots are mum boots??!

I love the look of those Conker shoes but at the price, sadly!

Fish, thanks. I agree with you tether pic I posted too.
WhereIsmySantaHat - FFS, do you mean mine?! What?!
Noooooooooo

Re the, not tether.
Bloody autocorrect.

What do people think about www.gudrunsjoden.com/uk especially the wearing of longish tunics over longer skirts/dresses?

Hex, no, fish' clarks link directly above my post

yy mum boots are fly and all versions of biker boots

personally I also add all riding boots over trews to that genre
