Can I wear Birkenstocks to a Buckingham Palace Garden party?

[MrsSchadenfreude]

PPH, I can see you wincing from here...but am worried about being on my feet for along time. If Birkies not acceptable, please direct me to something suitably elegant and comfortable that is (and not Footgloves, please).

Absolutely not.

How come you get to go to a Buck house garden party then?

You are not being constructive . I do need something comfortable...

i would

NOT BIRKENS NO CROCS!

jh

How about the Heidi Klum ones in gold or silver, or will that just look chav?

Can't wear heels on grass though - you'll get stuck. You need granny shoes, like wot the Queen wears.

Why not?

Flipflops?

no i don't think you can. and i am a v big birk fan.

ballet slippers from clarks? outfit details please.

Yes, July. So it will be sweatin' 'ot.

I would say no, strictly very uncomfortable beautiful shoes are required.

flat strappy sandals?

I love birks but not anywhere posh tbh

not formal enough!

Flowery summery frock and suitable hat.

Not really.NQWWW. Ballet pumps or wedeges, would be my advice.

oh every1 will be so busy posing and preening they wont even look at yor feet. be comfoirtable i say!

Nooo - not birkenstocks. Definitely wedges - elegant but comfortable.

Flat strappy sandals sound good. Where from?

I do like ballet pumps. Presumably I will have to wear tights or stockings.
