I have a hankering for some FMBs... suggestions for de-slutting them, anyone?

Do not ask me why (I do not know) but I really fancy owning, and wearing, a pair of FMBs. Now I am utterly out of touch with current styles (very aware that that makes me sound about 70 yrs old ) but if you could point out to me, style gurus, what types of FMB look ok, and what I can wear them with, etc, then I may just ask DH for them for xmas. I do not want to look too slutty, mind you, because I am meant to be very respectable in public around these parts. TIA

I know nothing about style, but what about if you wear some opaque tights with them, then the shape of your legs will be seen, but not the actual flesh!

Slightly thicker heel

You can't be scared with FMBs

Skirt above the knees but, remember, absolutely no boobage on show with FMBs, otherwise you'll look like Liz from Corrie.

lol at liz from corrie!
top tip
thank you

skirt above the knees - is that so that you can show a bit of leg between top of boots and skirt hem?

OP posts:
pantoinghousewife · 02/12/2007 20:27

Yep, otherwise you will look like a librarian!

LoveAngelGabriel · 02/12/2007 20:28

I wear FMB's with skinny jeans, or you could do a pencil skirt or slinky, pencil-bottomed dress (I'm tall and curvy so that wouldn't be a great look for me, but hey ho...?

oh dear - I am short and curvy. I am allergic to skinny jeans!

But a-line skirts look acceptable on me... would that work?

OP posts:
pantoinghousewife · 02/12/2007 20:37

Yes, that's how I wear em, and you sound the same shape as me. I wear mine with a tight fitting high necked jumper.

TenLordsaLapin · 02/12/2007 20:40

Miniskirts. And bare legs . V slutty.

Can you wear skinny jeans tucked in? I can't, too chubby but looks good if you have good legs.

Pencil skirt and a sharp shirt - very Secretary
