What should I wear with my new super skinny jeans?

these?

Any other ideas? Will plain ballerinas look ok?

5'10", size 16 around the rear, small feet. I have an idea that dh will be brutally honest anyway...

they looked amazingly good in the changing room with bare feet! and tbh not all THAT skinny. but a big step for me and my bootcut ways

As I said before, I think sandals and flipflops look better than ballet flats, somehow, on a grown woman. (But not if it's raining or below zero...)

ladidadi the Fly wedges are all lovely! But I am unnaturally obsessed with the sock issue - will you wear them just on bare feet? And if so how on earth do you avoid sore/smelly/cold feet?!! (please note I am not suggesting you have smelly feet! Just that I would if my toes were cooped up all day with no socks)

Surely though we are skipping a footwear season - not warm enough yet to ditch the boots and go straight to flip flops and wedges???

cheapo hasbeen rip offs

SuSylvester · 15/03/2010 21:25

ooh YUK
i hate the strapped ones

Caz10 · 15/03/2010 21:49

Sorry cyb don't like them!

cyb · 16/03/2010 07:02

Oh I dont like 'em either

aquavit · 16/03/2010 08:07

I go straight from boots to flip flops

or chunkier sandals if necessary

the only inbetween things I have are ballet pumps and I can't walk the distances I need to in them

cyb I think that leather inners are the way to avoid sweaty foot issues

When exactly do we think it would be ok to wheel out the gladiator sandals?

Will be updating them though this year to some cage sandals.

aquavit · 16/03/2010 09:13

today, suwoo

the sun is shining

and nobody will think it odd when you have to wear boots again tomorrow to hide the blisters

suwoo · 16/03/2010 09:20

Too late, I need to fake tan first.

cyb · 16/03/2010 16:52

Hey I'm being accused on here of backtracking AND having sweaty feet, both of which I refute!

LaDiDaDi · 16/03/2010 17:54

Got my shoes today, liked the second and third pair but all were far too big. Not sure that a whole size smaller won't be too small though.

Did they look ok with skinnies despite being too big?

aquavit · 17/03/2010 14:44

they're probably sweaty from all the backtracking cyb

MamaG · 17/03/2010 17:49

lol

devilsadvocaat · 17/03/2010 21:03

these are the best fly sandles. too high for me though. can only wear flats in the day due to walking a lot and being 5ft 9"

have ordered some skinnies and some bootcuts, will take back which ever make me look stupid. possibly all of them i hope they come tomorrow.

MamaG · 17/03/2010 22:14

holy crap they look like something Eileen would wear when she goes on her cruise with Betty

devilsadvocaat · 18/03/2010 09:07

my name is actually eileen.

LaDiDaDi · 18/03/2010 14:17

Suwoo, I fear that I looked a bit like a golf club in them, but they were nice. Had a look in shops today for something flat but couldn't find anything suitable.

devilsadvocaat · 18/03/2010 16:36
