Yet more clueless questions about what to wear with this?

[choosyfloosy]

Right, I read a thread about tights that has put the wind up me. Sorry it's the Party That Must Not Be Named again. I'm wearing this in the black and white, plus a pair of black patent flip flops. I'm 40 and my lower legs, though the most attractive part of me, may be a step too far to expose, apparently. Black leggings, black opaques or... something else... if Boden did a niqab i'd bloody snap it up i tell you.

How can you wear opaque tights with flip flops?

Heels please!

You cant wear flip flops!
Black courts (chunky) and opaques?

I can't afford new shoes. Can't afford new tights either but can probably stretch to that.

They are nice - sandals is probably a better word i guess. but you're right of course i can't wear tights with them [doh] well, leggings it will have to be...

Is it too late to beg for shoes from multi millionaire Johnnie?

What kind of Mumsnetter would greet a lovely present by saying 'what, no shoes with it?' ??

So have you had to buy a Boden dress Just to o to this party?
Bloody outrageous.
If MN want people to wear Boden then matbe Boden should have sponsored the event and given outfits to competiotion winners?

I think its a cheek too, but then I'm an ungrateful wretch

Oh no it was given to you, I will wind my neck back in.
You can get modern cheap shoes in Peacocks/ New Look
Last tiem I went out I got a pair of shoes in New Look for £4 and footless tights for £6!!

NOoooooo sixty, lovely boden have been too too lovely and given us a lovely freebie!!! don't diss the johnster!

and i'm not on the breadline or anything which is why i can afford to travel to the party, but i can't do train fares AND new shoes in the same month!

you could wear some black footless tights, with flip flops but make sure the tights come over your heal and cross your foot half way,

v cool in an ex dancer type way

yes good old new look loads of shoes here

OK will try new look

never thought they might do shoes

They're not paying your travel expenses either? The cheek!

well that's the only thing they're not paying for

but the free clothing has been unexpectedly stressful

wish i'd gone for shoes tbh, except that i have major problems with mail order shoes due to bunion issues

wow that page of new look shoes is erm... forceful isn't it? [retreats to flats]

ooh thanks kalo yes i quite like the footless tight thought, i still love these sandals of mine and know i can stand upright in them for longer than 10 mins

yes that new look page does have the whiff of a pole dancer about it doesn;t it?

only joshing about the travel expenses have a good time whatever you end up wearing on your lower half!

ewww whiffy pole dancers. Yuck.
