I love these ridiculous shoes. But what on earth could I wear them with?

They are completely OTT and lots of people will hate them. I think they are things of beauty. But what the devil does one wear with such things?

My God I love those shoes!

elQuintoConyo · 12/09/2018 07:39

I'd wear them with the rest of the hedge i was dragged through Grin

I like the shape, but not the decorations. Wear plain but well-cut clothes with them, nothing too busy.

They're at least 10 years old MadMary but I think they do come up now and then on ebay. Try searching on combos of "Frog diamante green suede heel Irregular Choice." Grin

My friend wears them to serious work meetings, she is an business account generater and represents large well known companies, I think they are her calling card and make her stand out

Ah ha ha!! Grin

Black velvet dress

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 12/09/2018 07:51

I love them! Totally mad and brilliant. Yes a bit Panto Dame, but panto holds a deep affection in my heart so I’m totally fine with that. Where them with whatever you like!

3luckystars · 12/09/2018 07:53

An invisibility cloak?

mummysmummy · 12/09/2018 07:54

they are gorgeous. i would buy them but display them in their own cabinet with good lighting!!

TacoFriday · 12/09/2018 07:58

I think the clue is in their description- Inspired by Stevie Nicks. Have you tried googling her or style boho chic? Tons of ideas. Here’s a vogue article

EdWinchester · 12/09/2018 07:58

Those shoes will give me nightmares!

I can only think wear them with either very understated clothes or go the full Ugly Sister look and channel your inner Helena Bonham Carter!

MadMaryBoddington · 12/09/2018 08:00

Ah well Talith you never know! I’ll keep my eye out.

I’m swerving away from skirts back to plain skinny jeans. I’m a bit short, so I fear the ‘demented pixie’ look.

A mum at ds’s school does wear Irregular Choice shoes on the school run. At Christmas time she appeared with a full Santa’s Grotto attached to her feet!

MadMaryBoddington · 12/09/2018 08:04

I love Stevie Nick’s style Taco. I have a few bits in that vein, but try to keep it restrained these days as I don’t want to look like an overgrown student.

Love them Grin

I have an issue with some of the heels, as in they're slippery, which as I wear them to work can be interesting - think long slippery corridors! I need to find a good shoe place to replace the end bits with rubber ones.

ElfrideSwancourt · 12/09/2018 08:39

Ooh I've just remembered I've got plum velvet trousers I bought in a sale - definitely need the shoes now:)

Op would love to see a pic when you get them 👠😀

MadMaryBoddington · 12/09/2018 10:11

Ha hah! I shall have to go and try them on. I promise to take a photo.

HildaZelda · 12/09/2018 10:17

They're fab. I have these ones (not my photo) and tend to just wear them with either skinny black jeans and a plain black silk top or else a black mini and plain black jumper.

Let the shoes speak for themselves.

I love these ridiculous shoes. But what on earth could I wear them with?
MadMaryBoddington · 12/09/2018 20:34

Those are amazing Hilda!

I wear my miaow boots (three different pairs in different colours) abigails party and a pink shiny pair to the school run all the time. Especially if I'm on en route to work.
I tend to keep my clothes plain.
I'd wear skinny jeans with those.

I'd wear them to serious meetings with a simple black or navy dress and opaque tights

(I love IR shoes!)

catinboots9 · 12/09/2018 22:17

I knew they would be IC before I even clicked. To be fair I would only ever wear them in the dark. Or on a sinking ship. I hate IC shoes.

But my lovely friend who loves them wears them with anything. Jeans, evening dresses, work trousers. And she looks FAB. All the time Grin

CoolCarrie · 12/09/2018 22:21

They are great! Buy them, Life is too short to wear boring shoes. I have the Swan Lake boots, Alice In Wonderland flats, love IC

hidengosqueak · 12/09/2018 22:34

I wear this brand every day but my style is quite rockabilly retro. I wear pencil skirts and fitted tops with long flowing waistcoat and belts. I love those shoes
