They are of a similar shape, used for a similar purpose, albeit one keeps my toes cosy on the cold tiles of the house and the other keeps my feet from scorching on the brick paths outside... but you have to admit they are comparable.... yes they are!! OK, so one shouldn't find oneself wandering the aisles of the local village mini market in the lilac things with flowers and bling on them perhaps.... but its an easy mistake to make!! OK, OK... so they don't match the orange hat with pink and blue flowers on it.... amazingly nobody said a word... nope, not one comment!! Come to think of it, if I saw this woman wandering around the mini mart in lilac slippers and an orange floral hat I probably wouldn't attempt to speak to her either... she would obviously be deranged... maybe even dangerous... and she's British you know... they always seem a bit eccentric...
The mortification of it... they'll never invite me to join the local ladies group now....
LOL, LOL, at least you didn't go out in your dressing gown as well - a sight Mum & I saw last week crossing the very busy junction in North London near Ally Pally.
ReplyDeleteToni :o)
Hahahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe they didn't actually notice them under your abaya. Or else they were totally entranced by the orange hat!
Hope you're having a good day.
xx
So funny, you deranged, eccentric woman you... have a good scrappy day today ... Hugs
ReplyDeleteLOL that is too funny. loving the hat. thanks for the message in my blog xxx
ReplyDeleteI personally think that they are totally acceptable,. ...
ReplyDeletewhen you can only change your hat and your shoes ermmmmm slippers cos all else is black --what's a girl to do to stand out in the crowd?????????????
OMG lol that is so funny, I bet for once you were glad to be wearing that long abaya!
ReplyDeleteLOL, You are not alone, I've done that before, they were just so comfy I didn't think about changing them before I went out, luckily I only went to mums, but they were pink fluffy & sparkly.
ReplyDeleteAnyway next year all the celebs will be doing it ... on purpose :)
LOL! So funny - and an easy mistake to make. DH Mike often goes out with his sweatshirts inside out - he says his mind is on higher things, so maybe you could use that excuse:)
ReplyDeletelol I agree with not speaking to people wearing slippers out shopping!
ReplyDeleteDidn't Einstein go to a party once in his pajamas? There you go... you're not eccentric. You're a genius!
ReplyDeleteI will be in London again in SIX weeks and can hardly wait.
Take care!
Annette you really cracked me up with this post. lol although it did bring back memories of the day I went out for the day wearing a PAIR of navy shoes only to find they were not a pair after all but left shoe of one pair and the right of another!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Shirley.. we must be twins separated at birth... I have also done that with navy court shoes... I was at a coffe/bridge club morning with my Mother and looked down and thought.... eh? LOL
ReplyDeleteHahahahahah! love the hoetjie doll!! goes very well with the lilac slippers....must be a touch of the heat. It can make people do weird stuff you know but I wouldn't give it any notice tho' :o)
ReplyDeleteThat is so hilarious and I can so empathise with your embarrassment. The first time I met up with my UKS team mates we went to the big Craft show at the NEC. We had a brilliant day and as I put my feet up on the seat opposite me on the train home, I was horrified to notice that in my haste to get dressed and out in the morning (6am, it was dark - my excuse)I had put on one brown trainer and one blue trainer!!! No-one had said a word to me all day! I still can't live it down!
ReplyDeleteWhat are you like VV...I can't let you out of my sight for five minutes.....! Lol x
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Too too funny! I would definitely blame it on the heat - either that or you can claim to be starting a new trend..........keep posting these great stories, they're a great pick me up at the end of a loooong day!
ReplyDeleteDon't even get me started about the year on holiday in France where I did my hair with a curling tong and left it to cool off while pleating the girls' hair only to forget all about myself and go downstairs for breakfast at the hotel. DH never said a thing because he hadn't noticed till we sat down and since everyone had seen me and smiled at me he thought it was better not to tell me. Imagine my surprise when I entered the lift to go back up and saw myself in the mirror. I thought people had smiled because I had a good day. I didn't kill him - but the idea did cross my mind briefly.
ReplyDeletePMSL! I have done that but didn't have the excuse of being in a foreign country - unless you count Englad of course!!!!!
