Converse. I have several pairs, current favourite are leopard print.

Bonsoir · 21/02/2010 20:37

Ballet flats.

Converse are passé. Only nounous wear them now...

Big woolly socks and snow boots. And the warmest coat I can find. I am the abominable snowman hate being cold in the morning.

DebiNewberry · 21/02/2010 20:47

I wear both, but for me it's too cold to wear ballet flats, atm.

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper · 21/02/2010 20:50

Depends - I'd only wear converse in summer anyway, and only when walking to school as I walk through countryside. On days I drive I'd go for ballets.

In winter it's wellies for walking, leather boots if driving.

The ballets are the most flattering on me, though - converse don't look right at the end of my legs.

GeneHuntsMistress · 21/02/2010 22:02

i just cannot brook ballet pumps at all. not for me. so converse it is.

right now though it is fly mols

as soon as warm enough, birkis.

then converse twice a year in interim seasons when neither boots not birks suffice sadly. also means i have to wear jeans with them. prefer dresses and skirts but that inbetweeny bit of tights or bare legs renders the jeans and converse a necessity

What is a nounou?

nowwhatdoido · 21/02/2010 22:13

ah, got it. Nanny.

dexter73 · 22/02/2010 08:26

Converse are never passe - they are a footwear staple!

chopstheduck · 22/02/2010 08:27

either. Converse with jeans, ballet pumps with cropped trousers. Converse make my feet look too big without ome jeans covering them a bit!

MissWooWoo · 22/02/2010 10:22

I'd go for Converse as they balance out my thighs more than ballet pumps

bandgeek · 22/02/2010 10:35

Either or.

I have big feet though (size 8) so need to have my feet covered a bit by trousers if I'm wearing flats otherwise I look like CoCo the Clown!

LouIsOnAHighwayToHell · 22/02/2010 18:14

Oohhh so you are implying that nannies are daggy are you and not cool enough to wear flats?

bunsandroses · 23/02/2010 13:31

i love ballet flats but bit too cold for them at the mo. Love converse as well but with skinny jeans they are a no no for me.
