Please talk me out of buying these party shoes...

Party Shoes

But if you like, which colour would you choose?

I have a yen for them, but I'm 44 on Sunday, am I too old?

I don't like them much. They look like little girls' party shoes.

I don't like them either. Too Wizard of Oz.

Do you have a blue gingham dress and pig tails to go with it?

You did ask to be talked out of them!

I am all for buying shoes that make you happy, however…no. Unless you are indeed into the Lindy hop, I suspect that they will make your legs look stumpy due to the height of heel and shape of the toe. Additionally, I cannot imagine what you would wear them with.
Having said that, if you have the cash to spare and they delight you, go for it!

Well, there's no place like home busyboysmum

You are not too old!

Accessories - basket, doggie

Sorry, I think they're too sickly-sweet, like a 5 year old's shoes.

They're rank, dont buy them! :)

Not the red then?

I know, I need to grow up. I just love shoes like these they make me think of dancing shoes.

i wouldn't choose the red ones, you'll be inundated with 'Dorothy' comments all night. The mixed coloured glitter ones are the nicest.

But seeing as I'm supposed to talk you out of buying them- don't buy them.

Absolutely black and purple!

Go for it op, they are fabulous and the thought that came to mind was it is just the sort of thing that should be on a bucket list, to wear a really amazing, show stopping pair of shoes, especially in ones 40s!!! And the others are being silly, you can absolutely pair them with a gorgeous, adult, dress!

No, happily married for 20 years, hubby loves me in anything bless him.

I have a Vivienne Westwood red clingy Anglomania dress that I was thinking of teaming the silvery ones with.

I would buy those in a heartbeat. In fact I would buy the whole range of colours...

I think a Vivienne Westwood (style) dress is just about the only thing you could pull these off with at 40. They'd look fabulous! But thing is that red dress + silver shoes is a bit to matchy-matchy imho. It just looks naice, like a well coordinated M&S outfit. I reckon Vivienne herself might go with a more interesting combination...

There are MUCH nicer shoes than these!
They are far too Dorothy.
Don't buy them.

That's easy - they are truly hideous. I agree about the Dorothy connection as that was the first thing I thought of as well.

Yuck.

Can anyone link me to some lovely party shoes that would go well with my red dress please? I clearly need direction.

Don't ruin a gorgeous dress with those shoes!!

Have you looked in Zara? They have some nice trotters in.
