I've been wearing dresses and boots this winter, but my feet are confused by the warmer weather.

Are you still going to wear boots or shoes with tights (not nude) I deffo can't do bear legs yet?

mine are bear legs - too hairy as opposed to bare legs!!

mmm leggings, do you think they would be ok with wrap dresses? also I'm 39, think I might be a bit old for leggings at work.

I think leggings can work with wrap dresses but (sorry not helpful) depends on style/length etc. eg I would wear with a short sleeved wrap dress but not long sleeved.

Pollyanna - do you go for full length or mid-calf leggings with your ballet pumps?

Am definitely not ready to do bare legs either just yet. I wore navy wide leg trousers with ballet pumps today and was shocked at how pale my tootsies looked

Oh go for it with leggings! Or for a different look, footless tights which I think look lovely with wrap dresses and ballet pumps. Veh Darcy Bussell circa 2007.

i am chanelling pollyanna . my leggings are just above my ankles. so far. might branch out with footless tights tomorrow....

mrsmaidamess · 16/03/2009 22:32

I got a great pair in Primark.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 17/03/2009 15:03

MrsMaidamess you are a true style inspiration. Was not convinced by full length leggings/dress and ballet pumps option but have worn precisely that today on your recommendation and have felt fabulous

Thank you

Oh my goodness - I can't wear legging or footless anything! I'm too short and it makes me look like a hobbit!!!

I was wondering about this as the weather gets warmer and black tights look wrong. Any other options - how about coloured tights??? [hopeful emoticon]

hoxtonchick · 17/03/2009 21:18

i am going to wear wrap dress/footless tights/ballet pumps tomorrow .

mrsmaidamess · 18/03/2009 18:01

Aww MrsJS you are welcome .

mrsmaidamess · 18/03/2009 18:02

And Alibaba I wore electric blue tights today. With purple shoes no less. So coloured tights are fine (according to me) Bring it on!

MrsMattie · 18/03/2009 18:05

I've been wearing full length black leggings under a dress with ballet pumps today - but my feet are sore .

Roll on flip flip weather!
