sorry but not nice!

My mate tried those on with a dress she was buying and they looked great I thought, better in the flesh. Real classics but not frumpy. Good for evenings out

I like them.

Would wear with a knee length LBD

Thehusbandsatcricketagain · 26/09/2011 20:54

Frumpy

BunnyLebowski · 26/09/2011 23:43

Frumpy. Really quite nana-ish. Sorry.

bigTillyMint · 27/09/2011 07:03

Frumpy, even for an old hag like me Smile

winterland · 27/09/2011 07:10

Frumpy, heel is too low and the style a bit dated. Over 65 s only

I think they are classic & I really like the vintagey look of them.
Stripper, platform, spike heeled shoes are sooo passé. Very Geordie Shore 2008ish.

Likeaheadlesschicken · 27/09/2011 16:47

porcamiseria · 27/09/2011 17:03

I got these instead. Don't slag them off, my puritan streak is already raging at the cost...

PieMistress · 27/09/2011 18:29

Much prefer those!

BunnyLebowski · 27/09/2011 19:54

Those Reiss ones are infinitely better! Classy and timeless. Good work Smile

moondog · 27/09/2011 20:46

I never cease to be amazed at how dreadful Monsoon shoes are.
The Reiss ones are great.

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 27/09/2011 20:50

Hurray! Proud of you Wink

saoirse86 · 27/09/2011 20:55

No contest, reiss ones are much better!

Zondra · 27/09/2011 22:54
