Any recommendations? I can't wear open toed anything because I have crap feet and am probably a bit old for ballet pumps. My favourite look atm is is bit like the picture with this skirt. I'm a recent convert to skirts, having lived the previous 40 years in jeans, so need all the help I can get

I feel your pain. I too live in skirts with boots and get a bit traumatised as spring dawns upon us. I hate exposing my legs because I'm so pale, I hate wearing heels, and I have crap feet so need sensible (yuk) shoes.

Really looking forward to someone posting a radical, transformative solution that hasn't occurred to me before!

It's so not warm enough to ditch boots, yet. You've got another 2 months at least where you'll be able top wear them most days, so don't fret .

Have you thought about peep-toe wedges? You don't really have to 'get your feet out' in peep toes.

Jewelsandgems · 24/03/2009 21:10

How about keeping the boots, but wearing with a skirt, warmish long sleeved t, something else layered onto, and then a fitted blazer (with non-wooly scarf like this www.warehouse.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion/Accessories/WIDE-TONAL-SCARF/11181

when the weather is even warmer, you can swap the boots for chunky heeled shoes.

I love that scarf, thank you!

Any examples of peeep toes or otherwise?

In spring I often wear fine knit crotchet tights, or sheer ones with a subtle pattern

worriedfriend2 · 25/03/2009 10:58

I like those, thank you! So you'd wear those with patterned tights rather than plain?

I'm sticking to boots for a while yet. I've ditched the wool tights though in favour of some brighter coloured opaques.

You called .

I live in boots until the very last possible moment.

Clarks have some suitable shoes and Fly. Will go off now and hunt for some links..

Ooh I love those Clarks ones as well (plus they look comfy ) and those tights!

OP posts:
Fimbo · 25/03/2009 11:07

Or these. Sometimes Clarks shoes are better in rl than they look on the website.

BarStoolCobra · 25/03/2009 11:12

Like the tights thing but god they are so uncomfy.

worriedfriend2 · 25/03/2009 11:14

These are good too, but you need to buy expensive ones otherwise they are uncomfortable and can fall down.

Fimbo · 25/03/2009 11:14

Don't hold back now Barstool will you
