Beige!

I see they do them in beige....

And now the advert for Donna shoes is at the top of the page - half price in pink!

No good, I wouldn't be able to keep them on, I need a strap, (very difficult feet , unlike the rest of me which is very easy-going )

I'm wearing them now but must remember that I'm wearing heels when I get up and walk somewhere. Are you going to be wearing your killer heels on Thursday Nonnie ? I was sat on a train in Edinburgh a few weeks ago and a young lady wearing killer heels missed the train [the doors had locked]. Thought to myself 'now, if you'd been wearing sensible shoes m'dear...' The beige ones were in suede last year but now they're leather, but I like the look of the grey ones. I've got green, black leather and burgundy ones...this is the first time I've tried to wear them though.

Tegan no, only about 3" as I have shopping to do.

I've recently developed a lump under my foot which mr google tells me is a plantar fibroma so I guess that will rule out even more types of shoe [so not fair given that I've worn goodsensibleshoes for the past 50 years .

Does the GP agree with Mr Google, Tegan ?

Haven't seen him/her yet. I have dupaytrans [sp] as well and there seems to be a link.

Tegan no, only about 3" as I have shopping to do
Nonnie
I would only wear 3" heels to a wedding (and perhaps not even then nowadays)

I am going to type 'Donna Hotter Shoes' to see if the advert comes back again

Some people look amazing in beige. If I wore it I would look dead. Same with yellow, pale blue, pale pink and pale green. I am more of a dark blue, purple, aubergine and deep turquoise person. I have just acquired a rather natty wool 3/4 coat in those colours

Well, rosequartz, I made the mistake of googling "Hotter Donna", and had to cover my eyes and make a quick exit.

Maggiemaybe lol

Ooops, just turned out a cupboard and discovered I have a beige sweater. It's quite nice actually!

Noooooooooooooooo!

Fight it, Nonnie, fight it!

Charity shop?

Will they accept it?

Proably jump on it, bless them they are not very sartorial.

I own up to one cotton beige sweater and sees the light of day twice in a summer.

My hair colour was brunette now it's a mix of white, blonde and er . . beige / pale caramel. My scalp won't stand any dye on it.

I'm changing my wardrobe, I'm concerned about wearing colours under or near my face.

My purchases so far

Pale pink sweater X X (will give it to a charity shop)
Green tick
Tan tick
black tick
pale lemon tick

BTW, I have a pearl necklace, bracelet and earrings. I wear them one at a time. Are they considered - by all - old fashioned?

Thank you for reading this. Any thoughts?

DH once bought me a camel coat as a shock surprise present. It made me look like a corpse. I quickly changed it for a nice aubergine one. He has promised never to buy me clothes without me being there.
I had my colours done some years ago and was amazed when the lady started by saying "pink!" as soon as I walked in. I couldn't believe it, I had never worn pink in my life but she was right and now I have lots of bright colours. It is true that wearing the right colours improves one's mood.

LuckyDucky - my grown up daughter tells me that pearls are very ageing but I disagree. I think pearls can be very flattering, so I wear my faux pearl earrings a lot and my faux pearl necklace occasionally.

I just love pearl earrings and have all shapes and sizes (Asda).
Good ones get brought out on high days and holidays.

I think pearls are flattering too, LuckyDucky, though I suppose it all depends what they're worn with. I certainly like to wear mine, and both DD1 and I have some faux (I think!) vintage ones that were left in DMIL's jewellery box, which we love.

Pearls! Old fashioned?
Don't be silly!

Classic, not to say classy, is the word, not old fashioned.
