Beige!

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)

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

Does the GP agree with Mr Google, Tegan ?

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 .

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

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.

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 see they do them in beige....

Ah, I love the Donna shoes. They're very stylish.

Tegan shall I give you lessons in heels on Thursday?

Oh sob; have just dug out the shoes I bought in a sale last year [Hotters 'Donna' ones] which I haven't worn, only to find that I bought standard when I should have bought 'extra wide'. Going to invest in a shoe stretcher I think .

I'm the same rose; have got a wedding coming up next year and am having to 'practice' wearing heels for it, even though the Hotter shoes I've bought are very low ones.

I have an emerald green winter coat, a purple one, a plain black and a Boden multi-coloured floral. But I've just taken DGS2 to the park in my beige anorak - .probably not the most stylish option, but very practical and it doesn't show the snot trails (his, not mine ).

I wish I could wear heels, or even pretty shoes.
But not beige ones!

When I wore my dark fuschia pink winter coat I felt I stood out because everyone else wore black coats!

DS would say that beige is never out of fashion.
Because it has never been in fashion

I have pale hair but I did buy a beige top recently.

However, it is from Fat Face and has a black outline of a bicyle with birds flying over it on the front, which I hope saves it from being dull.

I did one of these colour matching sessions, kitty, it was no real surprise for me to discover I look best in vibrant colours. But definitely worth doing as it gave me confidence in my own judgement and also means when I see sale bargains in pale colours I can walk away and save my pennies for something more flattering.

Only 2" MOnica? Love my high heels and wear at any opportunity. Might be because so many of my friends are tall.

Don't do beige or cream. Camels coats are an exception to any clothing rule as they are classic. Hmm don't have one at the moment.

I love and suit strong colours. When my oldest friend and I go shopping she dare not buy beige, which she has a lot of, because I will disapprove and I don't buy black because she says I have too much. Good to clothes shop with someone who will give their honest opinion.

No beige in my wardrobe and I'm trying to buy only patterned or colourful tops to go with my mainly black pants. I always wear a fairly bright lipstick too as I feel my hair and skin are beige pale.
Trouble is, I don't like the autumn colours in the shops.

I certainly wouldn't ban any colour from my wardrobe just because other people didn't like it. I avoid pastels and navy because they don't suit my colouring, but I've got cream jumpers and tops that look good with skinny jeans, and I have a pair of nude 4 inch heels that I love. I used to love a white shirt, but I think they're starting to show up the ageing skin tones now....

Kitty* I did one of those sessions with a small group of friends. It was very revealing. It's all about finding colours that look good with your skin tones.
I was very impressed as the group of four friends all had different colour groups. Once you see the effect of a particular colour against a persons skin you get it. It might need a shopping spree though.

Cream and white don't do it for me either, think this is an aging skin issue.

For our recent wedding anniversary DH bought me a 'Colour Me Beautiful' session but I am slightly scared to book it in case all the bright pink, purple and black in my wardrobe are deemed wrong.

Don't lump cream or white in with beige. A white shirt is a great partner to jeans or under a contrasting dark coloured sweater. A pale ivory silk top looks lovely with a black velvet skirt. Chunky jewellery and accessories all brighten up an outfit. It must be the word beige which is so dreary.
