WHY WHY WHY???

[ShinyMoonInAPurpleSky]

Did I ever go and have a nosy at the Schuh website? I'm nearing the end of my mat leave, all the spare money I have is being saved for car insurance and repairs and now I've seen the most gorgeous pair of shoes ever..well since the last most gorgeous pair I saw anyway...and they're even in the sale [sobs].

So please tell me that I can't have them because I can't afford them, they're completely impractical, I'll never be able to walk in them, I have nothing (except my wedding dress) that will match them and I can hardly walk around in that all day, and I already have too many pairs of shoes that I don't wear because I can't walk in them or have nothing that goes with them!!!

Oh mai gawd! Your dress is BEAUTIFUL! You have got to buy these shoes or I will be starting up a MN collection. They would look perfect. :)

Endo don't get me started on the '41 is an 8' debate, I've mentally composed many an AIBU thread about it but thought it was just me!!!

I can see your dress but I can't get the picture of the shoes back to check how well they match! Have MNers crashed the site or is it down because it's past bedtime?

Buy them!

(btw you face is anything but stupid and I quite like DHs hair!)

aww Sqee you're too kind

Oh God, those shoes are vile.

Don't do it, for the love of God, just don't do it.

A suggestion for all the mean people calling the shoes ugly. Go on, you will just love how ordinary they are!

I would rather walk around in these again than wear those monstrosities!

I think the shoes would indeed go a treat with your dress however if you have to abstain this may make you feel better; I have a pair of Irregular Choice shoes (green high heel with frog detail, much more restrained than they sound) and pretty as they are - they wreck my feet! Just so uncomfortable, as if they're made of stiff card not leather.

If you have a IC collection already and/or are determined to buy them then ignore me.

Squee do not get me started on those Toms things! WTF are they meant to be....bleurgh.

Slippers you can wear outside me thinks. I would rather wear my own Hedwig slippers than those horrible things!

Tell me this Honeydragon Is that really Terry Pratchett in your photos? and if so did he ask you to lift up your top? (Regarding your baby ofcorse..Ahem)

Buy them!

I love love love Irregular Choice shoes - have a pair of black wedges with pink roses around the 'edges' (if shoes have edges...) and I love them. They're really comfy too.

Now you've linked me to Schuh, I don't think I'll manage to escape without a purchase (although a dog ate my work shoes, so I have good reason to buy a 'sensible' pair of shoes...)

Squee

I forgot that photo was on there , no that is not Mr Prattchett (whom I've met very briefly and found utterly charming). It's Gryff Rhys Jones, with no hair as was doing Oliver.

He came to our local bookstore and was terribly understanding of the fact that I was much more enamoured with his lovely dog Cadbury. And gracious enough to sign the book I was purchasing for my DFiL, from Cadbury too.

I like the cunning plan here OP, but I will not be seduced into "making" you buy them. Your OH will not have me to blame, oh no!

Scary shoes !

Are you Helena Bonham Carter ?

Ok, I'm up for it.

You can't have them because you can't afford them, they're completely impractical, you'll never be able to walk in them, you have nothing (except your wedding dress) that will match them and you can hardly walk around in that all day, and you already have too many pairs of shoes that you don't wear because you can't walk in them or have nothing that goes with them!!!

If you want to look like the Corpse Bride, go for it.

If you want to drive legally, forget it.

Sometimes life is reduced to choices. Your choice.

Save your money - wait for the next collection 'cos it will only get better.

They are hideous! But then, I think anything that looks uncomfortable looks hideous.

Wow, they're really horrible. Sorry!

I can see the attraction but would not buy them because a) they're pink/magenta and b) I'd never be able to wear them anywhere.
Unless you're planning on wearing your wedding dress at every available opportunity and need matching shoes, I wouldn't bother.
The white ones look ok for wedding shoes, I think but in general they're too OTT for me.

The boots are hideous though, sorry!

I like some outlandish footwear but not really those - too much.
Sqee - those Toms are vile.

They look like the kind of shoes that the women dressed like Victorian hookers would have worn on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding... I'm not surprised they're in the sale really.

Speaking as someone who does have unusual taste in shoes, - they are horrid. I think it's the colouring and lace, they look hooker-ish, in fact 1888 WhiteChapel hooker-ish.
