I've seen some in tkmax and LOVE them. Am I 15 years too old? Grin

No. Grin

Maybe!
My DS (age 9) loves the patent green ones that they have got in at the moment.

QueeferSutherland · 31/08/2010 21:30

No!

If you like them, do it!
They'll be great for winter.

Theantsgomarching · 31/08/2010 21:33

I really really want them. But the rest of my wardrobe doesn't really scream "oh, yellow docs would be perfect with this".

Will I look really stupid????

Or Grin even

Being 38 is even worse Grin

Theantsgomarching · 31/08/2010 21:44

Maybe I should buy them and keep them until I'm much older and don't care what anyone else thinks anymore

Not mad. I have a 60 year old friend still in Docs.

Theantsgomarching · 31/08/2010 21:53

OP posts:
expatinscotland · 31/08/2010 21:54

Theantsgomarching · 31/08/2010 21:56

Right, decision made. My dh thanks you all Grin

ravenAK · 31/08/2010 21:57

No, no, no. I burnt hid dh's yellow docs some years ago.

Get New Rocks instead! Grin

schroeder · 31/08/2010 21:57

Get em if ya like them. Please promise not to wear them with a checked shirt.
I think a bit of a wink at your teenage self is ok just not the whole ensemble.Grin

expatinscotland · 31/08/2010 22:11

I once worked with a 30-something who wore yellow Croc wellies.

She wore them once.

She never lived it down!

V. cute on 9-year-olds and some emo teens.

lowrib · 31/08/2010 22:12

Please don't listen to the boring people. Life is for living! If you want to wear yellow DMs, go for it! It really is a small thing, in the scheme of things.

I have a fantastic pair of purple patent DMs, and I love them. Really, who cares if some judgey people don't like them? I really get a lot of pleasure (and compliments) when wearing them. Smile

lowrib · 31/08/2010 22:13

Mine came from TK Maxx too, if they're a bargain, grab them, they won't be there long!

expatinscotland · 31/08/2010 22:17

They're in TKMax because they've been sold on after failing to sell elsewhere. Because they are fugly.

Just don't.

tethersend · 31/08/2010 22:25

Yes, by all means get them- just be sure to gouge out my eyes so that I have absolutely no chance of accidentally seeing them.
