The fear of looking like one of Duane Hanson's sculptures may have put the kibosh on my floral pant-wearing days but it's not going to stop me wearing my new Liberty print Nike hi-tops. Oh no.
The latest addition to the TNMA wardrobe is the perfect accompaniment to coloured denim. Here I am in slightly saggy Zara jeans at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall - which are excellent by the way.
To avoid the mutton-dressed-as-mutton look, it's best to opt for a contemporary silhouette, hence the red jeans and easy v-neck t-shirt. The Liberty print hi-top also looks neat with a pair of rolled-up indigo jeans and an over-sized blazer. My advice - unless you're after the Duane Hanson meets Anna Dello Russo look - is to keep the rest of the outfit simple.
The range stocked at Liberty tends to sell out pretty quickly, so I bought mine from Office.

I do love high tops.. but hate getting them on and off.. you look lovely xx
You look uber cool in those gorgeous high-tops and red skinnies. I remember being fascintaed by the Lost gardens of Helligan when it was on TV. x
Hi my dear-I love hi-tops and these are the best I've seen for a while xxx
Those are so fun! I like how you've styled the rest of the ensemble simply around them.
I want some!!
Love it. High-tops have such attitude.
Those shoes are so cute! They belong with everything.
Nice shoes! Actually there is a Duane Hanson sculpture of a museum guard in our local museum. Remarkably lifelike!
You're so slim you look like a teenager.
I loathe Anna Dello Russo's style, she's an utter mess.
What I want are the Marimekko poppy Converse to wear with my red skinnies (but I'd probably never dare).
Vix - The lost Gardens are ace. I'll post some pics when I get the chance.
B&P - you haven't seen my face! Definitely a case of the 1950 syndrome: 19 from the back and 50 from the front.
Tiffany - do it! And just so you know, the Nike hi-tops are more comfy and supportive than Converse.
Hurrah -I like very much. In fact mr fabhat bought me the low cut liberty trainers for my birthday - yet another almost matching items in our wardrobes *
*This is not style stalking honestly..
I'd love to see some pictures of the gardens. They are gorgeous trainers xx
Fabhat - so pleased I can be an inspiration to you! Just don't go all Single White Female on me.
Christina - I keep meaning to post some pics but then other stuff pops into my head.
