What are glads? Those weird unflattering sandal things? I'm not right fond.

CerealOffender · 29/06/2010 19:50

oh yes maamruby.

glad are revolting gladiator style saddles designed to create a cankle on the most well turned ankles

Black leggings are my saviour and have been for the last 6m

I don't care at 35w pg, frankly

They go with long boots in the winter, and sandals or wedges in the summer. With a dress or tunic top over the top

And they are ELASTICATED around the waist, hurrah

My gorgeous Toast gladiators make my feet look blue.
Have had to admit defeat and stop wearing them

I have supremely ugly feet so can't wear glads.

However mum at school was wearing leggings and some gorgeous glads and she looked fantastic.

Of course it helped that she was gorgeous with lovely feet and nails - yes I notice these things

CerealOffender · 29/06/2010 19:56

bernard - you are excused. elasticated waists are your friend, good luck for the next 5 weeks.

if 2 years don't the line you are still in leggings i will hunt you down!

Just looking at gladiator sandals makes me wince.

I just imagine the pain from all those straps rubbing against my toes, feet and bony ankles. Ouch

MarshaBrady · 29/06/2010 19:59

I do think one needs very nice feet to wear glads.

DarrellRivers · 29/06/2010 20:04

You see, i have lovely petite feet/toes and slim ankles.
But my feet look blue wierd in them

deaddei · 29/06/2010 20:07

You see I think you can get away with glads with awful feet (obviously must be varnished and PED-EGGed)- as all the straps cover corns and odd toes.
I am not awfully keen on them.

CerealOffender · 29/06/2010 20:08

all glad clad feet look like they belong in a mortuary

I just don't get why everyone wants to look the same but that applies to all fashion trends not just the hideous ones. I have never and will never understand fashion.

TaudrieTattoo · 29/06/2010 20:11

I've got the toast glads, Darrell.

My feet don't look blue, though.

I love them.

TrillianAstra · 29/06/2010 20:11

I am very anti-gladiator sandals, but that might be personal because I have naturally-occurring cankles.

bintofbohemia · 29/06/2010 20:14

Gladiator sandals are wrong but what's up with black leggings?!

noddyholder · 29/06/2010 20:15

Agree esp the sandals nafforama

CerealOffender · 29/06/2010 20:17

black leggings are overused by women who think they magically render their arse adn thighs invisible. hell its summer, get a slightly longer skirt and let the air around your nether regions

OP posts:
bintofbohemia · 29/06/2010 20:18

So only wrong on larger arse and thighs or wrong in general? (Wonders whether to change!)

CerealOffender · 29/06/2010 20:19

no, i didn't mention size

OP posts:
TrillianAstra · 29/06/2010 20:19

Black leggings fine IMO but remember that we can see your knickers and you DO need a skirt/dress on top.

CoupleofKooks · 29/06/2010 20:22

i have seen some very very transparent leggings this week
i was positively gawping at one pair, i think i could see her ovaries through them, never mind her knickers
