cheapy cheap cheap fly wedges on amazon at the moment these in red and these in brown just threw themselves at me your honour

but i need summer tights to wear with them. my standby crochet ones finally gave up the ghost, i do all my shopping online so i don't know what's in the shops. can you still buy open lacy/crochet ones or is it all opaque colours? i can't find the right lacy ones online, i really want brown.

I'm fairly sure you'd find some in John Lewis, or another traditional department store, but there are also these online:

slightly seedy site

emo tights

seem normal

last link should be this

I like the first ones. Be careful when ordering with Amazon as my bank account was cloned last week and I am pretty certain my Amazon account was hacked to get at my bank details. I paid by debit card, its safer to pay by credit card.

As Fly shoes go , those are both horrid.

sorry.

cornsilk · 09/07/2008 15:04

Agree with lady topham hatt. I like fly shoes but they are fugly.

puppydavies · 09/07/2008 16:20

hahaha luckily i have enough quirky personal style and panache to carry off librarian shoes in a why-miss-puppy-without-your glasses... kinda way :P

puppy - hopefully so do I!!
I love them - the shiny red reminds me of a pair of ahoes I had when I was 6.

puppydavies · 09/07/2008 23:32

funnily enough the red ones are the image of some teeny docs dd1 had when she was about 2 that i've always wanted in my size.

thanks for the links missblythe - have finally had a chance to look at them. had a rofl at the seedy site and an even bigger rofl at "add to casket" on the goth site. loads of them are perfect but black and the brown ones aren't he kind of airy ones i'm after (i have them in black).

ah well, it looks as though as well as having appalling taste in shoes i'm also terminally unhip in hte hosiery department

lucykate · 10/07/2008 11:29

i like them, brill for the price!

lucykate · 10/07/2008 11:38

what is the fit like on fly shoes?, i have quite narrow feet, would they be too wide?, i really like the t-bar style ones.

meridian · 10/07/2008 12:08

I think they are really cute.. if I haden't just bought some purple rocketdog ones I woul love the red pair.. obviously I would need some red tops to go with the shoes though..
I too am a wearer of librarian glasses...

puppydavies · 10/07/2008 12:17

teehee, i too have the bun and the glasses AND i used to work in a library. in fact who am i kidding, the geek-chic isn't even ironic

pd- lol.. one of my friends used to work for a library in Texas... and I used to volunteer in the library at my junior high school...

I once tried for a job in a book store though.. but apparently I was too over qualified for the job.. . i.e. I could actually read the books..

brimfull · 10/07/2008 13:41

they look like childrens shoes

MamaG · 10/07/2008 13:44

ugh they're horrible

toadette · 10/07/2008 15:03

Thanks for link. I like them, would have loved the first pair in red but don't have my size...but have ordered the second ones in blue and another pair (Ciara ones scroll down here) at £17.49 in red/pink.

Debris · 13/07/2008 21:16
