What sort of style? I'd guess these are more than you'd want to spend?

Thanks

JackieNo · 23/03/2007 22:04

Not sure about these - depends on the rest of your style, I guess.

not really bothered about price, but they are a bit 'moccasin' like for me...love the colour though

Hmm - how about these ? Or this pair or these ?

Thanks

Gosh no. I'm just a humble junior in the Style Shop. MrsB is definitely The Boss.

I guess these are too ballet flat-like, then? (also only for the very slim of ankle, I'd think). Or these the same, probably.

oohh..quite like the slingbacks...the other ones are just hideous!

Weird idea having 2 ankle straps.

How about these ? Bit officey, or is that what you want them for?

and the mushroom colour looks very nice too...though not ever seen mushrooms in that colour...bargain at £35 too!

don't work so just want them for slipping on with jeans...something other than converse or ballet pumps until its warm enough to wear flip flops!

JackieNo · 23/03/2007 22:21

OK. Yes, I liked the mushroom colour too.

Are these too pointy?

Thanks

Not a chance - she's much better than me at this. I'm not too bad with finding just one thing, but if you want all-round advice, capsule wardrobes etc, she's your woman.

I'm guessing these are too clumpy then?

Thanks

skirmish · 23/03/2007 22:28

yep, too clumpy

god, i must just sound really lazy as if i can't be bothered to trawl internet myself!

You did say Boden , didn't you.

cos everyone here seems to shop at boden...i would feel like i'd nicked my mums shoes if i wore those!

Hmm - know what you mean.

Have you tried wedges? Although obviously not flat, they're really comfortable. I just spotted these which reminded me about wedges in general (though I'm not sure I like those actual ones). Or more slingbacks - again, not completely flat. (ooh, going a bit off-message now, aren't it).

Thanks

JackieNo · 23/03/2007 22:32

That should be 'aren't I', obviously.

JackieNo · 23/03/2007 22:33

I know you don't want ballet flat ones, but these look really cute.

Brogue style courts ?

skirmish · 23/03/2007 22:38

i love wedges, but can't quite get my head around closed top ones, or shoe wedges rather, much prefer sandal-type ones...

love the other slingbacks, might be a bit dressy for dashing to the post office though

the oasis ones would look gorgeous with a pair of wide leg trousers...but thats a whole other style thread!
