I go for black and chocolate brown suede shoe-boots (girly shoes, but I wear trousers or v long skirts all the time). I prefer suede because it's softer than leather, but it really does depend on your own preference.

I have black and brown boots as well. Well, if you can call them boots - they're Converse All Star high tops. Brilliant they are - go with all my lazy clothes :cool:

That should do you, but what do I know? I hate shopping!! :rotfl:

No... you've lost me now . I thought Converse were sports shoes.

Anyway, brown it is. What does brown go with. Jeans, what type of jeans, straight leg or boot leg (god, I need a womens help here, never though I'd be saying that again....

I like suede shoes on a bloke as well. Makes him seem more honest somehow.

Oh, I love cord as well. The older it gets the better it looks. In fact, I daydream about when I own a house - I want to get a massively oversized armchair covered in red cord. :heartpuls

I bought a fab dress last summer ( ok, ok, i bought shoes too ) to wear on holiday in order to snare passionate spanish type... I didnt wear it as I was too damn FAT :mad: . I want to wear that dress this summer & feel/look good in it, I've already paid for it but had no pleasure out of it. There are many more items like this. If I buy new clothes they will have to be a larger size, then i'll get used to being that size, build up a wardrobe.... can you see where I'm going with this ?

Exactly! I don't buy clothes for the size I am now because I don't intend to be this size much longer. Except I have been thinking like this for a couple of years now. I want my flat stomach back!

I also think there should be a contigency amount of say another £100 for special events like weddings etc. Parties where potential eligibles may be lurking dont count as special, ie a man that only likes you for your outfit is not worthy.

Hmmm, but what about "you feel better when you look better." A man who likes you for your outfit is not worthy and must be chased out of town immediately, but if there are eligible suitors there, I would want to look my best so I felt at my best. I am running out of time here!:o

Well, technically I suppose Converse are sports shoes, but my boots have never seen any sporting activity!! They're just really cool and look great the older they get (seems to be a common trend in my clothing choices!) High tops are better than low tops (I have black low tops as well - my pal gave them to me for free! Brand new and everything!) - it's a sock thing...

Okay... the question is: what doesn't brown go with? I think brown's more versatile than black and it looks warmer. As for jeans, go for a fit that's comfortable (don't be a fashion victim). You can't go wrong with, you know, normal, slightly worn-looking denim, either in blue or black (not the brand new, purply-blue denim or very very black)

Cords are good as well. Chocolate brown cords - but not with brown boots - too much of a good thing.

Just look at people when you're out & about - get ideas from them, see what you do/don't like and remember only to buy something you'll be able to wear with 4/5 other things in your wardrobe.

My wardrobe's made up of:

Black
Brown
Grey
White
Beige/cream
Red
Turquoise

All these colours can be mixed/matched. Voila!

Hope this helps

I can't wait to get one!! I've spent the last couple of years designing, decorating, extending a house that I won't be able to buy for another 4 years!! Keeps me off the streets though, eh?

Slight amendment to this. See something you love and buy it. Then buy 4/5 things to go with it.
