Are these shoes hideous?

Hello All

Am returning to work soon-ish from ML. I used to wear high heels no problem but since DD has been born I've lost the ability to walk in them Grin I ordered these online out of curiousity and they arrived today.

I envisage wearing them witj slim fitting black ankle grazer trousers. They might also possibly go with black opaques.

All my work clothes are still up in the attic so I've only tried them on with skinny jeans. They actually looked quite nice with ankle skinnies but I can't imagine I'll wear them with those.

Will I be thinking I look quite chic but people will be secretly sniggering thinking I look like Miss Marple?

Feel like I've lost my style mojo a bit since DD has been born so I would appreciate your thoughts. You can be brutally honest Grin

Thanks

Comfortable? Practical?

Burn immediately. Women have to wear painful footwear .

Bollocks to that...

kel1493 · 20/03/2017 16:50

I don't like the front tbh

MumBod · 20/03/2017 16:51

I like them.

You're young enough to wear them ironically.

paddypants13 · 20/03/2017 17:06

I don't like them op, sorry. It's the tassels.

Bluntness100 · 20/03/2017 17:10

Yeah, they look worse on than off, sorry op., they've nothing going for them. I thought they were higher...🤔

BreatheDeep · 20/03/2017 17:11

Ick. That's all I can say!

Fuzzypeggy · 20/03/2017 17:13

Theiye the same shape and heel
As current Gucci ones (and topshop dupes) so they're actually pretty fashionable if that means anything to you. If you like them then keep them I think they would look good with slim ankle grazer trousers

Bibs2014 · 20/03/2017 17:21

Awful - sorry OP.

It's hard going back to work after ML, your style has totally changed, totally understand. Keep shopping Smile

Niminy · 20/03/2017 17:27

The Queen is an absolute style icon, so anything g referencing her look is very, very cool. That said, I don't like the snaffle but that's just me.

I reckon if you wear them with confidence you will have people thinking 'wow, not that is a woman who can carry off a look'.

Or you could always go for kitten heels. They are coming back again, I hear .

Floisme · 20/03/2017 17:32

You lot are so 2016.

I hear Miss Marple is going to be on the next cover of Vogue. But only because The Queen was unavailable.

Nettletheelf · 20/03/2017 17:36

Barbara Woodhouse wants her shoes back.

ShoutOutToMyEx · 20/03/2017 17:38

Loafers are v fashionable right now. They look like (good!) imitations of what Gucci put out in A/W16.

I like them. I considered getting similar in silver. But I do like a flamboyant shoe!

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 20/03/2017 17:57

Shout I did get these last week (much to the disgust of a lot of people on this thread probably Grin ) Though I think due to the white sole they'll be more suitable for casual rather than work.

Other than trainers and beach holiday sandals I've never really done flats before so I feel a bit out of my style comfort zone trying to find nice but comfortable shoes Grin

They do look a bit less saga holiday in RL with jeans. Honestly Wink

The white sole makes them look a bit 'disco staff nurse'.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 20/03/2017 18:02

They're chunkier in RL and it is a bit of a shite photo. They weren't expensive so will do for days when I don't want to wear adidas yet again.

I really like the shoes

I am the height of fashion you know

ggirl · 20/03/2017 18:02

I'm on about the miss marple ones

Niminy · 20/03/2017 18:08

'disco staff nurse'

That is brilliant. I want that look!

realhousewifeoffitzrovia · 20/03/2017 18:33

Absolutely love them.

WhataHexIgotinto · 20/03/2017 18:36

Oh no. Oh no, no, no.

However, I know fuck all so don't listen to me...

Floisme · 20/03/2017 18:38

I love silver loafers. However I'm afraid Saga holidays are for A-listers only.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 20/03/2017 18:47

Have just taken a photo of me with them on. I don't think they're chunky enough to be considered cool. It does look like I'm ready to board a cruise ship Grin Ah well, too late to take these ones back now so I will wear them sometimes.

I'm OK with the rest of my wardrobe but have clearly lost the plot and all sense of taste when it comes to my feet Smile

I do still like the concept of heeled tasseled loafers though Grin

I don't really 'do' selfies but taking pictures of myself before deciding to keep something or not is clearly the way forward!

I love the MissMarple ones. Have a similar pair!

Niminy · 20/03/2017 18:54

I'm not seeing what's wrong with them.
