I dress like a prim middle aged woman. I bought these a year ago but don't wear them.

I'm 40 and overweight so i don't do casual well. I'm at a bit of a loss style wise right now.

So..... Am i overthinking these trainers?! Or will i look silly.

They have been very comfortable with my pyjamas while doing the housework!

I will wear them out this afternoon.

youvegottobekidding i know the can't be bothered feeling. I'm hoping if i take the right actions the feeling less shit follows.

Difficult not to feel cheerful with bright yellow feet to be honest. Smile

They are Adidas stan smiths.

So have you wore them? And did you feel fab in them?

I have some lime green sandals that I got last summer - and I did wear them (although I haven't model feet but there you go, more troll like!) & plan to wear them again this year - if we get the weather that is!!!

I wish I could get that 'can't be bothered' voice to shut up once & for all, but sometimes when I look in the mirror, especially when doing make up, I feel like i'm trying to polish a turd....😩

Wear them! I love my yellow converse (as does my cat, so they're covered in hair)!

Here's my yellow sandals waiting for an opportunity to be worn when it's less nippy. And my cat, who doesn't care one way or the other.

The only yellow in my wardrobe. Looking forward to wearing them this summer. I don't have a cat though.

I hope you've worn them and enjoyed the experience. A couple of years ago I broke my little toe and havent really worn heels since then but have embraced wearing trainers and flat shoes of all styles and colours & it has empowered me so much more than heels ever did. i feel more confident knowing that I can walke anywhere eithout my feet hurting, dance all night etc etc. Hope you fall in love with them. They are fab.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 22/04/2017 18:38

I agree dream. Before DD I was a heel queen and never wore flats but now I have loads of trainers - love them! OP, I have Adidas Stan Smiths in red suede and they're so comfy.

Yellow is definitely an 'in' colour this year. They're fab shoes. Wear them and enjoy.

228agreenend · 22/04/2017 18:46

Off to google yeallow Adidas Stan shoes...

ChishandFips33 · 22/04/2017 18:55

Yellow makes me feel happy when I wear it - it's creeping more and more in to my wardrobe

Get them worn Grin

nevernotstruggling · 22/04/2017 19:50

I think if you or anyone wears them with black they will look amazing

AteRiri · 22/04/2017 20:50

Wear! They're fun!

You can also wear them with a black dress.

BusterGonad · 22/04/2017 21:10

I've got a yellow blazer. Love it in the summer!

Bloomed · 22/04/2017 21:12

If I saw you wearing these I'd run after you to ask where they're from!

StinkyMcgrinky · 22/04/2017 21:14

in precious years the most daring coloured trainer I owned was gasp navy.

I've just bought these as I saw them and immediately loved them, can't wait to wear them in the summer Grin

Off to google. I've got yellow sandals and they are one of my most complimented things in summer. Look amazing with grey, black and denim which I wear a lot of

justanillusion · 23/04/2017 08:15

I wore them and will again today. I forgot how comfortable trainers are. And they look great. So thanks all.

Love the yellow shoes posted. It's a long time since i wore heels.

Stinky I have those trainers too and they've hardly been off my feet since I bought them.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 23/04/2017 09:52

So pleased that you wore them and that you loved doing so Smile
