lentil weavery

MargaretMountford · 07/04/2009 22:42

yes, have to agree - a bit earthy hippie oatmeal eater

Alibabaandthe40bunnies · 07/04/2009 22:43

They make me do this

A friend of mine was never allowed to have red shoes when she was a little girl and promised herself that she would only have red shoes when she was a grown up. And she does only have red shoes - her shoe rack is full of them!

She would love these, and I would describe her as cooky and nice. Not cutsey, but I think they could be depending on what you wore them with.

MargaretMountford · 07/04/2009 22:43

there are cuter Camper shoes that do quirky but not in a rustic way

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 07/04/2009 22:43

But - if they were the red option - greenpeace supporter with a sense of fun. Umm. I quite like them.

cherryblossoms · 07/04/2009 22:43

I'd think "what a nice hippy-type person. Maybe she'll be my friend."

pippibluestocking · 07/04/2009 22:43

Kooky - think they're lovely!

Alibabaandthe40bunnies · 07/04/2009 22:44

Crikey they are quite expensive!

mrsmaidamess · 07/04/2009 22:45

They look like something that bloke from Silence of the Lambs has knocked up from some leftover skin.

yuck.

MargaretMountford · 07/04/2009 22:46

juneybean · 07/04/2009 22:46

mrsmaidamess · 07/04/2009 22:47

Hello MAS! are you keeping well?

You're welcome, MrsM

DontCallMeBaby · 07/04/2009 22:52

I would wear those, and I am not at all lentil weavey/yogurt knitty. I could see a colleague of mine wearing them too, she is quite sleek and stylish (erm, I'm not) but with quirky shoes.

Only in the single colours though, the multi-coloured ones are well dodgy, would go with 'look at me, I'm FUN!' jester trousers.

see... I already have these though in one single colour- leafy green (my pixie shoes)
and some flat lace-ups in brown....
