Think you're right mp - despite freezing legs!

SoupDragon · 14/05/2005 18:31

Dear cod, no. Nevernevernever

leahbump · 14/05/2005 18:32

sorry but no..even the ones that don't have reinforced toes look a but sad IMO.

mckenzie · 14/05/2005 18:33

you can get what are called 'sandal tights' that dont have a seam at the front, or anywhere on the foot for that matter. They are very fine and personally I think better than lillywhite legs. Juts my opinion though.

Slap some fake tan on!

CountessDracula · 14/05/2005 18:35

Not even black fishnets with strappy silver sandals and a nice bit of red nail varnish peeking through? REally?

SoupDragon · 14/05/2005 18:40

Oh, that's OK, Snafu.

SoupDragon · 14/05/2005 18:41

Mainly because you clearly don't give a damn about your appearance.

snafu · 14/05/2005 18:41

Thank god for that.

snafu · 14/05/2005 18:42

Just 'cos dragons can't wear fishnets.

Newbarnsleygirl · 14/05/2005 18:43

Well tbh I would'nt go for the silver sandals.

White patent platform sandals are much better IMO.

snafu · 14/05/2005 18:45

I always knew you had no taste, nbg.

Newbarnsleygirl · 14/05/2005 18:47

No taste!

No taste!

How dare you!

What is wrong with white patent?

WideWebWitch · 14/05/2005 18:47

Good lord no.

Gobbledigook · 14/05/2005 18:48

NO way!!

Even though you can get tights for open toe sandals and even those with no toes in they are just naff! Go without!

JoolsToo · 14/05/2005 18:50

I feel the cold I need socks

snafu · 14/05/2005 18:50

Oh, no, nothing at all. I expect white patent is seen as very stylish...in Barnsley.

Wherever that is.

Hehehehe.

Newbarnsleygirl · 14/05/2005 18:55

Ooooooooh that was a bit below the white patent belt.

It's a good job I'm not from Barnsley then

MrsDoolittle · 14/05/2005 19:07

No way!

docket · 14/05/2005 19:24

absolutely. definitely. not.

moondog · 14/05/2005 19:28

God no! Hideous! When I lived in Russia,women used to wear hideous little socklet things (made out of the same material as tights) in their sandals. Can you imagine.that foul trussed toe look and bare legs. The worst of both worlds.

There's something so lewd about the word 'peep' isn't there?
