Haven't done one of these posts for a while, so let me explain. This is where I imagine I have the money to hang out in Klosters with George Osborne and still have some change - actually I'd rather eat my own vomit than go skiing with Tory Boy but you get the picture. And so, to this week's most-wanted. A pair of lovely woven leather shoes from Camper. The shape, a 1930s-style silhouette (can't wait to see The King's Speech) and the neutral tone feel quite timely. And as I live my life in a blur of khaki, camel and grey, this little lace-up will blend in seamlessly. Finally, it's a bit of a Mum Shoe - and whilst other women totter around in high-rise platforms and wedges, That's Not My Age is happiest in the footwear of a grown-up lady.
Switch the pointy stiletto for the Camper Mum Shoe and this is the kind of look I'm thinking of, for spring:
What will you be wearing this spring?
PS the Camper shoe is available in February and the other picture is from Comptoir des Cotoniers.
I do rather like those shoes despite the granny chic edge they have to them.
ReplyDeleteI'll be wearing the same this spring as I do every spring, hopefully a bikini and a suntan and some rather large sunglasses. xxx
Think I may model myself on Helena Bonham Carter in The King's Speech, complete with Queen Mother hats! Wonderful film - saw last night.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are great! In the midwest USA, I've been seeing this granny/'30s vibe for a while now. I worried initially that it was too trendy, but maybe it's here to stay. It's offers the type of heel I can actually wear.
ReplyDeleteCamper shoes are surprisingly comfortable, although I guess I haven't gotten a new pair in a few years, so maybe they've changed. I hope not! Look at that sale!
I'd like that whole look mailed to me!
ReplyDeleteLOL...you do have a way with words!
ReplyDeleteThose are the first pair of shoes I've fancied in a long while.
I like the shoes but I don't think I could pull them off. Saying that my glam rock wedges arrived and I'm so ridiculously tall in them and the platform is higher than I thought... I need to rethink my idea of sensible! Those trousers are gorgeous, I'd love some of those xx
ReplyDeleteHi there-this outfit is really a stylish and chic look, the shoes do have a unique look too!
ReplyDeleteI like the heel heighth!
ReplyDeleteLovely look. I can just see you in it. Thoughts of spring - bring it on but for now just give me big warm jumpers. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteVix - does it get quite warm in Birmingham then?
ReplyDeleteCatherine - I'd steer clear of the Queen Mum hats if I were you.
AA - Camper shoes are really comfy, and I know that makes me sound ancient!
Christina - forget glam rock wedges, Mum Shoes are the future!
Cue middle-aged woman screaming on the sofa, "I LOVE THAT LOOOOOOOK!" Have you ever seen clothes from Bassike? A slightly different palette but still!
ReplyDeleteThose are hideous, what are you thinking?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one!
ReplyDeleteI love those Camper shoes - very Kings Speech vibe I think.
ReplyDeleteI love your vomit comment! xx
The height is perfect, I'm like you, I can't walk around in anything higher, in fact I'm sure after a few hours in those my feet will be acheing!
ReplyDeletep.s I can't wait to see King's speech either!
Saw the Kings Speech on Weds and it is one of the best films I have seen for ages. Am now going to take my family and see it again!! Love the shoes too x
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are not me but the colours of that outfit are stunning. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteooooh. those shoes caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those shoes and I for one will be definitely trying them on when they hit the shops.
