I don't think I have ever seen anyone wearing shorts in winter other than in a magazine. I imagine the boots would be similar to ones yo'd wear with short skirts though, no?

Ooh i'd like some city shorts! But I don't think they'll beat the miniskirt...

this looks quite good Maybe ballet flats are the way forward . Don't do much to elongate and slim the leg though ....

I'm wearing pumps and legwarmers with mine
Lou33 your look sounds lovely!!

PoorOldEnid · 23/09/2008 20:26

lou33: office have some nice grey flat patent boots

lou33 · 23/09/2008 20:55

i am cheating though as it is actually a jumper, i am just using it as a dress

thanks enid, i will have a look

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 21:06

i got a bunch of legwarmers off ebay last year for the pumps/legwarmers combo... only wore once tho. they were rubbish quality tbh...

i have new 'Cardi' uggs. i got them coz i really liked the look of them but i could cry coz they are nowhere near as snug and comforting as real uggs.

Tweed shorts + ribbed cashmere tights = one extremely sweaty foof + high probability of yeast infection. Niiiiiice.

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 21:33

speak for yourself, lady!

jojosmaman · 23/09/2008 21:38

I am wearing these lovelies at the moment

my new shoes

with pretty much everything!

LetThemEatCake · 23/09/2008 21:48

well, I have tried my new £5 shorts on with tights and a variety of shoes (flats, boots, heels)

Plus a variety of tops - sweaters, sweater vests, ruffled blouse, cardi

And you know what?? They look pretty good! Shame I don't have better legs, but the tights hide a multitude of sins ... god, can't imagine getting my bare pins out, yikes.

Shoe boots in the Ewe household too avec winter shorts.

fishie · 23/09/2008 21:49

i have seen two girlish types today wearing black knee length shorts with small jackets and flat black shoes. in the city (i was on the bus).

i am planning a winter of much short skirt. have gap biker boots, flat brown mid calf and knee length navy with a 5cm heel.

tights...?

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 21:53

i feel some shopping coming on...

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 22:02

right, seeing as i have a bunch of fairly like-style-minded peeps together in one place here... help me choose between these rigger boots as i have a yearning for some. they wont be my only boots, but i WANT some, and have done for some time. prob to wear with leggings and short dresses.
help me choose!
i am liking the sound of the fur lined ones... but some of the others look cooler...

jojosmaman · 23/09/2008 22:08

They're not really my style (I don't even own a pair of uggs [shock emoticon] but my brother wears Makitas for work so that's my vote!

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 22:10

thanks jojos. theyre the only ones on the page that dont come in a 5! lol

my dad has a v fetching makita cap he got free with a saw about 15 yrs ago... tres cool!

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 22:13

jojosmaman · 23/09/2008 22:17

LetThemEatCake · 23/09/2008 22:27

i do not like when the sole appears around the outside of the upper. so i don't like any of them that much. tusker commando is best.

navyeyelasH · 23/09/2008 22:55

I was wearing those "winter shorts" aka city shorts in 2006 when I was 21. Are they still in?!

PS. I think shorts and tights look horrid! Sorry x

NappiesGalore · 23/09/2008 23:00

hehe, have just ordered both so i can send least fave ones back.
