Will these shoes go with this skirt?

I have notoriously bad style sense so was hoping you kind mumsnetters would help me out a bit. I have bought this skirt and was looking at these shoes to go with it. Do you think this would look ok?

That skirt would be fine with the right top and shoes, agree not those shoes.

Without knowing what you look like it's v hard!

Is this your usual style? Or do you normally wear completely different clothes?

To go from what you call "slightly frumpy" to baby pink miniskirt and mahoosive heels in one step might be a bit much.

Maybe do the shoes or similar with some jeans and work up to the full-on glamour look?

If you're not used to scanty clobber and heels you will feel v self concious as well....

We've discounted the shoes AND the skirt. Both are baaaad.

Toiletrollcover there are LOADS of thread in Style and Beauty for folk who feel they have lost their way fashion wise, probably with some great links too.

I do feel comfortable in skirts and heels. I've always been proud of my legs. I don't wear low tops at all as That makes me really uncomfortable.

I've mostly been wearing jeans for the last 5 years and am just fed up with them. Have some nice black trousers but don't want to wear them to death.

Nothing wrong with wearing skirts.
Nothing wrong with wearing miniskirts if you have good legs.
Nothing wrong with pink skirts.
There is something wrong with that pink skirt though, sorry.

here is a really nice pink skirt.

DSM · 07/04/2009 20:45

And these are similar but nicer than the ones you posted, if you still want pink shoes.

Pinkfluffyslippers · 07/04/2009 20:55

I agree with all the comments above - the skirt and shoes are a bit yukky but MrsMaidamess's suggestions are good.

One final suggestion - why not change your MN name it might help your self esteem regarding your clothes!

(I'm sitting here in my PFL with sweatshirt and jeans so I can't talk ! )

ooh yes, DSM, much better

that skirt is lovely, I like how they styled it too

ToiletRollCover · 07/04/2009 21:09

I do like that skirt a lot better DSM. I shall have a shop around tomorrow and maybe save the other skirt for a fancy dress party or something!!! Thanks for all your advice without it I'd have gone out in that skirt next week!
