Flat T-bar shoes

[HandmaidsFail]

There's a lady who does the nursery drop off at the same time as I do and recently she has been wearing some patent black T-bar shoes with a tan coloured sole. I love them. I need to pluck up the courage to ask her where they're from but then I don't want to show up wearing them the next day screeching "shoe twinsies!"

Please help me find them!

Are they Clarks Taylor Palm (sorry can't link).

They're the closest I can find!

You could try Clarks Griffin Mia. The tassel is removable, leaving a t bar design underneath.

I want some! I've recently seen these DMs and am very tempted, but they are £££

Oh I'd love them in oxblood too!

Oh Daftskunk, I love those patent Taylor Palms! I think I might need to treat myself to some with some of the overtime money I have earned :-D

I always ask if I see someone wearing something I love - I figure i am complimenting their sense of style as much as I'm complimenting them on the item, so it couldn't possibly be taken badly. I have founds probably about ten items I love by doing this and no one has ever been anything but lovely and flattered at being asked.

Just don't wear them on the school run every single day
