Ok I don't do boots, I don't do ballet shoes...what shoes can I wear with a knee length skirt?

[Fillyjonk]

For

a. everyday

b. wedding

ps I do not want to look like a Stepford wife.

oh pps I have shite ankles

How are they bad?
If they are (which I'm sure is not the case) boots can be a blessing.
How about a sturdy high heel,with a stacked base and thick heels?

Or Maryjanes - with or without a heel.

sturdy high heel interesting. would this not look clumpy? (oh god am not fussy am i?)

boots...can't do them, sorry

spent to long in DMs

boots are...not for me. They would be the final straw of respectability. no offence to boots wearer of which I know there are many many many on MN

No it wouldn't.
Far better than the Christmas tree look of skirts (especially those that flare out) and puny heels.

You could pick up a pair for next to nowt in somewhere like New Look.Don't they have some quite groovy paptent ones?

Summat like \link{http://order.next.co.uk/shot.asp?b=X398p=2828s=48n=undefined\this?

Bollocks

boots are respectable? they are my rebel refusal to wear court shoes with my work clothes. nice, warm comfy boots, knee length, so you never have to wear tights, even with a skirt. tights are the curse of the devil, invented by men because we made them eat the apple.

Oh I love my boots! Can't remember the last time I wore shoes, tbh - a knee length skirt and knee high boots can't be beaten!

I have mary janes (flat, purple dm ones!) which I wear with a skirt. I think they look great but I'm not the best judge of style and have no fashion sense, so please feel free to ignore me

sadly i think mary janes will do me no favours though purple ones sound fiiiiine

i am 30 this year and need to start looking Respectable

but not tooooo respectable

oh god kick me into a pulverised heap now but aren't they rather....um....

mumsy?

Oh probably, but at the grand old age of 35 I don't give a toss about looking mumsy now!!!

these aren't mumsy - very this season.

no they are fab

sorry, typo,

boots = mumsy

mary janes = fab

but they make my ankles look like smallish trees

Gotcha.

oh god they are fine though

but i am a 6

They've got them in a 6 in black .

Not in the sale though.

LOVE those red shoes! Was going to suggest wedges - but wedge Mary Janes are even better.

These are rather gorgeous too!

dunno about them in black

hmm am uncertain

I do like them and think thats an ok price

(I am, as it so happens, making my going-to-wedding outfit out of a teatowel... so actually need nice shoes really, to make it all look intentional and ironic)

jan-link doesn't work

The red ones are nicer...Seem to be discontinued unfortunately.

hmm

could cut toes off maybe....

Sorry.

They are on the Schuh site under high heels, wedges. The black Fly ones. I like the wooden wedge heel. Horribly expensive though.

FLY LEVEL BAR PUMP?

I do like those

but am in love with the tiny red ones

wedgies
