 Posted: Jun 21, 2012 10:22 am Post subject: crowdsourcing opinions on shoes |
 |
|
I bought some shoes last night. They were on clearance and I had a coupon. I mean, I like them, but I don't know that I like-like them. I wonder if they look like shoes that an 80 year old woman would wear?
Thoughts?

Like!
But I think what I like is the print more than the shape. There are lots of floral print shoes out there - if these aren't feeling good to you, you'll find something else.

I like them! I would wear them with a shorter, sassy dress or skirt. Not a longer dress or skirt and definitely not black or denim capris (although I think colored or white could look good)...IMHO that would make them look "older". ;)

I think they are cute and would look rad with the right outfit ... some fun summer dress or skirt.
I think as long as you don't wear them with pantyhose with reinforced toes, you can avoid any grannyness.

I don't wear longer dresses or skirts OR capris! So I'm definitely safe with all of those.

I didn't think you did. :) I think you're a pretty snazzy dresser anyway, so you will rock those!

I can see myself pairing them with a black a-line skirt and a shirt in one of the matching colors, or maybe just a plain black no frills top.

Ahhh- I'm torn because everyone so far seems to like them, but yeah, I think they look like old lady shoes.
Do you have them in your possession? Can you post a shot of them on your feet? Because they might be the sort of thing that looks horrid just sitting around but awesome on.

Well, me too. But if I had to wear them I would go with the a-line skirt. Because I wear them like every day.

| I'm with Pearliepie--I'm not a fan, but I believe they could look a lot better on, or perhaps with the right outfit. But overall, I'm not in love. |

I got them last night--the lighting in my apartment is horrid for photos. I meant to take some this morning in natural light but forgot. I'll add some photos when I get a chance.
The longer day goes on, the more I feel like they don't really have a home in my wardrobe. And I think it comes down to what bookselves said--I love the fabric, but not so much the shape of the shoe.

That's my impression, too. I love the fabric, too, but if I picture them in white or black, they instantly become my great aunt's church shoes.

| I'm a little torn, but I think with sparkly pink polish and a full-skirted dress they'd be super-cute. And I always imagine you wearing super-cute full-skirted dresses, and I don't imagine you as an 80 y.o. |

This. I LOVE the print, but the shape reminds me of Dyeables (remember those?)

I kinda think they could either go super 80-year-old-ish OR super 23-year-old-hipster-ish. I can't really picture you going for either vibe.
