amount of twattage depends on how you look in them

some people look great, some look, err, not so great

Buy some lovely boots to wear over the top (many many threads discussing boots over the past few weeks...)

see bundles answer!

and also I like to wear mine with a suit jacket - sleeves turned up for some reason atm, t-shirt, layered with longer vest/t-shirt to avoid back exposure

Yes, find long tops essential to prevent potential bum cleavage exposure (ewwwwwwwww)

I have marvellous long thin legs [preen] but fairly large feet (7) Makes me sound like an ostritch.

I shall have to rummage through my wardrobe later to see what's on offer. Deliberately bought cheap foul Primark ones to avoid expensive twat mistake.

I have some long boots (which is why I bought the jeans actually as I've nothing much to wear the boots with)

I love black or dark blue skinnies. I wear them with all sorts - long cardi and Uggs or trainers for casual, cowboy boots and nice top for funkier look, high heeled boots / shoes and dressy tip to go out in. Skinnies are great, as long as they have a bit of stretch in them!

I often look like I have clown feet as my ankles are so skinny. There are ridiculous size 7 shoes on the end of 2 sticks
