What the hell do I put on my feet?!

I work FT and reckon I scrub up ok in work attire. But at the weekend I’m lost...

So, for example, short-ish denim dress (my legs are my only redeeming feature!), black opaque tights.. what goes on my feet? Trainers? I’m thinking comfortable but def not frumpy. Any ideas? Please?!

I wear short dress, opaques & boots in winter - ankle boots, brown leather, slightly biker-ish in style - my favourite are ancient Fly London (bit like this but simpler goo.gl/images/jCVt5R )

I also bought a pair of cheapish Clarks which get lots of compliments - they are a bit more chelsea boot looking.

You could also do knee boots - but I find that a bit worky

Ooh they’re lovely. I sometimes think fly boots are just a bit, Urm, not me, but they look lovely.
What about spring, when it’s not freezing but not yet warm enough for bare legs.
And am I overthinking this?!

Love the idea of Chelsea boots now I come to think of it. Thank you.
I’m useless at casual dressing...

I'm no good at spring - autumn & winter are my friends Smile Spring I guess I do jeans and loafers - I like soft leather (like the ancient Fly boot leather, but as a shoe)

Yep with a shortish denim dress and black tights I'd wear flat or slight heel ankle boots. I usually wear leggings rather than tights though for casual (and saves the wear on my tights). Black boots would make your legs look longer, but different colour fine too.
In spring I tend to continue wearing leggings until weather warm enough for bare legs, when wearing skits/dresses.

So what do you put on your feet with leggings?

I’m massive so don’t really need to worry about shortening my legs, but might be too scared for a different colour. Suspect I’d bet it wrong! Also struggle because my ankles are really skinny (rest of me not so) so ankle boots are often way too wide.
I realise I’m being tricksty here, sorry.
