More fashion questions

[????]

In my entirely red-blooded hetro male occasional donning of female attire moments, it is only the high heels that I find that dampen the whole tremendous experience

[louisiana]

what with fuel prices and he state of the economy, I feel I'm going to need one of these next winter.

I am definitely GETTING old. I spend FAR too much time expounding on how great M and S merino thermals are. ("Recommended by the motorbike mags you know..." - Oh dear God- there I go again).

I think I may have to take to my bed as I can't bear the thought of stumbling round Dulwich in *shudder*...HEELS! Urgh.

D_C I don't think you want to marry me. From the replies I have had on here, it appears that I may in fact be Sebastian's frumpy sister Cordelia.

Oh man, I'm out of it for a day and all this going on?

WQ - wedges - ooh, looky looky but is comfort all it's cracked up to be?

This discussion seemed to bloom while I was having the lady equivalent of a waking wet dream in Liberty's shoe department last night. Hie thee hence - they even have some great flats (who knew such a thing were possible?)

and D_C - absolutely go for the hat, absolutely definitely. There's not enough raffish insouciance in East Dulwich I think. A little debonair style goes a long way

The answer is no; sadly this does not stop my other half from wearing one....

[dulwichmum]

RosieH!

I have those exact Alexander McQueen shoes! The ankle strap is simply divine.

COMFORT IS COMPLETELY OVER-RATED.

Put your best foot forward girls, this mummy needs some height...

[Jah Lush]

Wee quinnie, listen to your uncle Jah, you're far to young to be wearing old maids shoes like that and David if you want to look a complete prat wear a panama hat.

[dulwichmum]

Perfect wee quinnie, Uncle Jah is right. Go to one of those blingtastic nail bars on the Walworth Road and get yourself a glossy pedicure for ?20, then go to Westfield and buy yourself some virtiginous strappy sandals. You are so slim and elegant sweetie, go and show off.

Any site that suggests these for nightwear is best left for old ladies in institutions sweetie.

Why not visit Agent Provocateur?

Now if only Hadley Freeman lived in ED...B)

[wee quinnie]

Looks a bit draughty DM. What the hell, I'll turn the heating up full blast.

The shoes are beautiful everyone. Yours. Not mine.

[RosieH]

Not too high though, a little cold is very good if you want to look niptastic

[dulwichmum]

Now you are getting the idea (smirk).

Life is too short for pyjamas or comfortable shoes!
