Will I be picturesque or a patient?

Hi all,
There is a family gathering when it is safe and I already have my outfit planned (jumpsuit, wrap, bag) and I am toying with the idea of wearing heels. I do have chronic pain but I will be getting out of a car and walking into a hall, plus I can walk in heels.

There will be plenty of photos at the gathering so I want to look amazing, especially since the photos will be printed.

I won't be doing much walking at all and I have plenty of people to hold onto so will most likely manage but is it a stupid idea? X

I'm with Chewbacca here I too love trainers with flowery dresses so they are no longer just for sport Jennifer!

Sorry but it still looks wrong to me, even on the expensive ones in the bride picture!

Personal preference of course!

Trainers? Absolutely not. They are only for running or some kind of sport or for going to the gym

At £350 a pair, the last thing you do in trainers is run in them! Even brides wear them on their wedding day, as depicted.....

Obviously you might not want to and of course that’s absolutely fine FlyingHandbags but is there any chance of you posting a picture of yourself at the event in your outfit?

As for the shoes conundrum, how about lowish heels which could look stylish yet be a bit easier for you to walk on ?

Trainers? Absolutely not. They are only for running or some kind of sport or for going to the gym.

I think they completely ruin any other outfit. Why pick a lovely outfit only to ruin it with clumpy sports shoes.

It looks so wrong.

Oh my word Where on earth did you find that ? Did you just google “ really hideous outfits “

Almost right Lucca! And to be honest, some of what I found just astounded me! And a lot of them were modelled by KK, she of the famous American reality "star" family. Which proves that having loadsamoney doesn't always equal good fashion sense or taste I suppose.

FlyingHandbag I too love your threads, they bring some cheerful lightness but do be careful if you do wear heels ? !

Well, for what it's worth, I'd choose this one over yours any day MerylStreep!

Chewy, I hope you aren't trying to lead Flying Handbag astray? You are a disgrace!

Puzzler61 Wed 15-Jul-20 22:31:51

With a figure like that Chewy you could wear a bin bag and look great ?

Chewbacca Wed 15-Jul-20 22:25:22

I'm thoroughly ashamed of myself. blush

Have a look at this one..... I look like an Everton Mint.

Marydoll Wed 15-Jul-20 22:15:45

You HUSSY, Chewy!

blush <hangs head in shame and avoids eye contact>

You've been looking at those nasty Chinese sites again, haven't you. ?

Flying, thank you! You have really cheered me up with your thread. smile

Marydoll Wed 15-Jul-20 20:38:15

Aggie, I'm just teasing! smile

I have one jumpsuit, not a boiler suit (I'm not a bunnie boiler)!

It is actually quite flattering, hides a lot of lumps and bumps!!!

Chewbacca ?

FlyingHandbag Wed 15-Jul-20 20:33:40

MawB those are beautiful. X

Chewbacca Wed 15-Jul-20 20:32:41

Is a jumpsuit much the same as a onesie Flying

Oh Lemon that cracked me up! grin

aggie Wed 15-Jul-20 20:32:40
