Chelsea boots

With skinny jeans, skater dresses with tights, etc.

I like them. But I'm a mum Smile

Ilovenannyplum · 22/10/2016 09:12

Oohhhh they're really nice

I'm also a mum, maybe they are mum boots Wink

SavoyCabbage · 22/10/2016 09:13

No, I don't think they are.

myyoyo · 22/10/2016 09:13

Lovely boots.

What are mum boots?

elQuintoConyo · 22/10/2016 09:30

'Mum boots' are boots which some believe make you look frumpy. Because once you become a mum, you are a frump. Frump means comfortable.

Hideous term.

I am not a frump now and I wasn't a frump before I married and had dc.

Lovely boots op.

No, I think you're fine with those!

Poocatcherchampion · 22/10/2016 09:32

Sorry - its a mum boot from me.

chowchowchow · 22/10/2016 09:37

They're great! Especially with skinny jeans etc. Go for it!

pinkeye · 22/10/2016 09:38

Tempted love dune they're lovely bargain too great brand

I guess the problem with asking if these boots are frumpy is you don't know the style of those answering.

I don't like the boots and would feel frumpy wearing them, but is that because I am so unstylish I get it all wrong, or am I actually Victoria Beckham?

CurtainsforRonnie · 22/10/2016 09:41

Im a mum
They are not mum boots
They are lovely

PushingElephantsUpStairs · 22/10/2016 09:42

Thanks elquinto. What a lovely term Hmm

I must have missed the memo to replace my whole wardrobe with 'mum' clothes once I'd had a baby.

They're nice boots though OP but I'm a mum so they must be 'mum' boots.

neveradullmoment99 · 22/10/2016 09:49

They are not frumpy boots. I think its the heel that makes them different. I don't like the term mum boots either.

KatamariDamacy · 22/10/2016 09:58

I like them and will keep them. I am also a mum. I feel this is okay.

I love them, definitely not frumpy I have a similar pair from primark and get loads of compliments when I wear them

acatcalledjohn · 22/10/2016 10:05

I like them. I'm not a mum.
