tights and knee length boots in the cold weather

flp-flops or birkenstocks when it is warmer

deaconblue · 09/02/2009 20:17

good was thinking flip flops or ballet pumps for summer. Now I need knee high boots, would it look weird to have flat ones rather than heels?

Ah now i was going to ring you.

Silver birkenstocks. Liberty print top and silver cardigan.

AnyFuckerForAShiteSoppyCard · 09/02/2009 20:19

deffo flat boots, not heels

MrsWilburton · 09/02/2009 20:19

I think flip flops are a bit extreme atm

MrsWilburton · 09/02/2009 20:20

You can wear heels depending on the cut. Opaques/knintted tights with tram lines.swing cardigan. long t shirt top layering effort.

For that retro 70s primary teacher look

Definitely agree re knee-high boots for this weather. Personally I think the heel/flat dilemma is more to do with your height/shape than the skirt. I like a bit of a chunky heel in a boot as I am on the short side and curvy and think a bit of heel is never a bad thing for one of my stature. But willowy tall types look fab in flat boots, I think.

in the summer, MrsW (if we get one)

MrsWilburton · 09/02/2009 20:22

ooh check her out and her bendy torso

MrsWilburton · 09/02/2009 20:23

and her nonchalant posing

MrsWilburton · 09/02/2009 20:25

and her flower fiddling

BoysAreLikeDogs · 09/02/2009 20:33

Shame she didn't fiddle her fringe

deaconblue · 09/02/2009 20:41

lol, tell me will my cowboy boots look weird with it then? Glad flat boots better than heels as can't be doing with heels while chasing my small boy. Ds will stick his head up skirt, have only worn one once in his whole nearly 3 years of life and he was very confused last time!

Lizzylou · 09/02/2009 20:46

I wear my denim skirt with flat, slightly ruched leather black boots and opaques

My boots

I love it, it has transformed my wardrobe! Was always in jeans before and this feels a bit "smarter"

deaconblue · 09/02/2009 20:47

thanks lizzylou so my boots don't need to be too close to the knee to look ok, that's good. gosh is hard to create a new look

Where did you get in Shoppingbags, am looking for one and it sounds nice!

soyabean · 09/02/2009 20:49

it

CrackerNut · 09/02/2009 20:49

Where did you get the denim skirt from ?? I have been looking for one for a while now.

Lizzylou · 09/02/2009 20:51

I was very pleased because the first day I wore mine, my young and trendy friend (I have a decade on her) said "you look fab!".

I was v impressed and not ashamed to say walked with a bit of a swagger after that!

I have long legs (am 5ft 9")and the boots don't look short on me at all.

MrsWilburton · 09/02/2009 20:51

spill it bagsy

LoveMyLapTop · 09/02/2009 20:52

Mine was from M&S but i love it.
like Lizzylou it has been a real boost to my wardrobe wear it loads. ( even on the school run)

Lizzylou · 09/02/2009 20:53

It is a school run fave here (not least because I then come home and work and it's more comfy than jeans).
