Flat feet

Today is the big day for our labrador and it was my job to escort her on her damn good seeing to  date. Now, even I know that it would not be appropriate to swoop in, swathed in animal prints and tottering on stilettos like Cruella deVille. So, I needed a more huntin', shootin', fishin' look. My wardrobe is distinctly lacking in green tweed and flat shoes, so I plundered little DD's, even borrowing her gorgeous birthday riding boots from Aldo (with thanks to my mum who bought them).

Now usually my shrunken achilles go into spasm at the mere thought of a flattie but these felt fabulously comfortable and I thought they looked good too (legs shorter and chunkier, of course, but not disastrous). When she grows out of them, they will definitely have a new home in my closet.

Anyway, we stood in the pouring rain for an hour while they sniffed, flirted then sniffed some more. Suffice to say, no business was got down to, so we're back again for another go on Friday.

Maybe a trip to Agent Provocateur is in order before then?

  1. I don't know what you're worried about - maybe this could be your new thing to wear more flats. My new thing is to wear more heels. I always went against wearing lots of heels so not to shock people when I mysteriously disappeared when I took them off. I think everyone's used to me being a titch now.

  2. Sue, you are so right! When I take my shoes off people are totally shocked! You look good in heels and flats...I'm going to work on being a comfortable titch!
