Things you said you'd never be seen dead wearing - but ate your words!

Crocs. Hate, hate, hate , HATE them!

I was out with my dogs and met a lady with a lovely pair of short yellow wellie type boots. I loved them but my face fell when she said they were crocs!

I had to havthouem though, they look so fab! My many wellies are tall and we have had lots of rain in Wales but I wanted something short and more summery so these for the bill perfectly and they are cute and quirky!

I bought a size up as I have wide feet and they fit perfectly! Comfortable too!

So, I have had to eat my words!

What about you? Have you ever done similar?

A size 20 - nearly out of them now though!
A fringe - love my fringe now
Flat shoes when out - can barely wear heels now, prob due to weight
Jeggings - the word gives me the boak but they are a staple of mine now

Loafers. I live in them with skinny trousers at work.... Obviously once I've removed my "mum waterproof" Blush

Skinny jeans - like others, I'm still not convinced that I really suit them, but they're such a good wardrobe staple now!
Clarks Brogues - flashbacks to having to wear sensible shoes for school but they're so good for wearing to work in winter, I love them!
Pencil skirts - I always thought I was the wrong shape for anything clingy like that but I think my weight/shape has shifted a bit and I now own a few and I luffs them.

And not me, but my DH always swore he wouldn't wear tight jeans, coloured chinos or Converse and now has several pairs of each!
