    Thumbs up

    I'm with SUSE ... yep, khaki goes fantastic with cherry red & black ... or even a nice medium grey & red

    Khaki was a big fashion colour hit in the Summer of 1979/80 ... scary to think i can remember that far back & i remember shell belts looked great with khaki terry-towelling dresses (OMG, has that fabric ever come back again ... BUT geez it was darn comfortable) & the shoes were khaki too with a rope fabric look about the medium wedge heels ... maybe you could bring that fashion back ... I might add i was about 13 at the time, LOL !!

    Khaki always makes me looked tanned ... I LOVE IT

    If the shoes are comfy ... BUY EM

    Hmm. Okay then. I'll buy 'em! If they are still there tomorrow when I go there after my mw apt in the morning!

    To be honest, I wasn't expecting such an overwhelmingly positive response. Fashionally naive me...

    Summer of '79/80 ai? I was only born in 1979, so forgive me if I don't remember that.... I will add these wedges DO have the rope look fabric around the heel.... Not that I can see that when I'm wearing them really.

    I bought them! I finally made it back to the op shop (urgh- bad morning, don't ask!), and the first thing I picked up were the shoes. I then picked out a couple of tops which should match nicely, probably with jeans or black pants and laybyed them, as I thought I better not spend all my money at the opshop, especially when things are tight atm . One was a stretchy dark brown top (hey, if it doesn't match, I'll wear it with something else, its really nice anyway!), and the other was a see through long top (you know, its probably meant to be a dress!) from Supre, in army camo, which I think will look very nice with a long black top underneath (have just the one actually!).

    Thank you all for your wonderful comments on fashion! I know where to ask next time too!

    What colours could I wear them with?
    I have a khaki coloured pair of ballet flats and I LOVE them!! I usually wear them with jeans and either a black or white top.

    Are those ballet flats comfortable? And do they stay on your feet? I haven't got a pair of those either!
