In Brogues

Top: Temt
Shoes: Zola
Necklace: Foudre Blanche

Welcome to the wardrobe, my newest pair of silly heels.

Impulse bought over the weekend after being spurred on by The Sophisticate & my visiting Brisbanian, these seriously-heeled brogue booties are probably going to end up being one of those "oops" purchases that I love, but can't quite manage to wear correctly.

I was thinking - as I mooned over them in the shop - that teamed with a pencil skirt, maybe some patterned tights... a pinafore, or my brown cashmere dress... Maybe narrow leg trousers, a white blouse and a waistcoat to play up the whole manstyle thing... To be honest I'll probably have to buy a Whole New Outfit for them to work with (excuses, excuses)

(They're pretty bloody comfortable, all things considered, but I'm not sure they do my calves any favours)

I love those shoes, they make your calves look fab. Don't underestimate all the good things about yourself. Hell, I don't know you but you've certainly brightened up my day. I feel more inspired to wear the clothes I love rather than just covering myself in black and hoping to go unnoticed. Do you like "temt" clothing? I bought a bunch from, of all places, an "op shop". Some good some okay. I like the knitted tops. Sizing a bit dodgy though. Do you have a fave on line place to shop for 14 plus? I look and look and can't decide.
Cheers.

I love them and think they look great too.

I can also see them being worn with some tailored wide leg pants and a flowy blouse or white shirt for that very cool 40's look.

I think you make them work- which is much more than I can say about my attempts at wearing similar.
