Any afficionados of the espadrille?

Wedges, not the flattie ones .
Have just got some and very cool and comfy they are too. Has anyone seen any nice cheap ones around, as i might just have to get another pair?

ooh

anniemac had a pair from Monsoon

here

most flattering - no ankle ties so make legs look longer and ankles less chunky

(not suggesting you suffer from chunky ankles, btw)

Mrs B can you have a look at my trouser thread. Pretty please

Although Harpsi is being fab I hasten to add...

dances, I looked but mine are all 100% linen so I gave up

did hear New Look had some linen / cotton mix ones though - think it was via Malory (aka JulietBravo)

I have these and they are fine on my feet (which is saying something, as I usually get blisters just by lookin at shoes...)

Totally off topic, by whenever I see or hear the word 'espadrille' this goes off in my head.

yum to MrsB and yum to Tiempe. I have same problem TMP, & can't be bothered to 'break-in' new shoes.
Sling backs may be the answer for wearing with skirts. Am lean of ankle, but short of leg so these ribbon tied babies (eight squid in tesco ) will go under my linen trews.

ahh - good ol' Tesco! the higher wedge does give the leg more length too of course ...

WT - wonderful stuff on such a wonderful day!
