Trying Out - Brogues

I think it's time to jump on the brogues bandwagon regardless of what season you're in.  As a huge proponent of comfortable, practical shoes, I love how easy these are to style and that they can be worn with skirts, dresses, tights, trousers and probably shorts too.  I have chosen a pair that is reasonably low cut (rather than cut like a traditional 'shoe') so that if I wear them with something short and bare legs, they will shoe more of my leg and hopefully lengthen it, as opposed to cutting me off.

As most of the shoes I own are black, I've been really making an effort to branch out!  Today I'm going for a kind of jazz look - my 4yr old wanted to know where I was going as I looked so 'nice' - bless him.

The photographer didn't like the tie so we experimented without - he argument was that it looked 'old' and mine that it was trendy.  Some trends definitely don't suit everyone though and I think the buttoned up, pussy bow shirt is one.
