Are you Noel Fielding?

MissMalice · 27/12/2018 23:41

I am a sparkle queen and they are indeed preposterous Grin Ah, do it anyway. You only live once!

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 27/12/2018 23:50

It’s not the sequins that are putting me off- they seem to be an odd length?

They’re too tall to be ankle length and too short to be knee length. Mid calf length would be very difficult to pull off in that material!

JaneJeffer · 27/12/2018 23:52

Wow! I can imagine they would leave a trail of sequins as you walk along.

Happyinheels · 27/12/2018 23:56

I love preposterous! Be preposterous! Be outrageously preposterous!

SnowyPaws5 · 27/12/2018 23:57

Hideous! But go for it if you love them!

nancybelle · 28/12/2018 08:34

Wow, they look like they came straight from panto!

RitaTheBeater · 28/12/2018 08:36

People will be shouting ‘he’s behind you’ when you walk down the street but you will always be able to find them in the cupboard.

Hoppinggreen · 28/12/2018 08:38

Bloody awful, but do it anyway!

RNBrie · 28/12/2018 08:38

They are £20... if you have £20 to burn then buy them. Life is too short not yo be preposterous once in a while... and I say that as someone who just bought this monstrosity from monsoon

WanderingTrolley1 · 28/12/2018 08:39

Oh dear. They are bloody horrendous.

RickOShay · 28/12/2018 08:44

I really like them Grin

Deathraystare · 28/12/2018 08:46

Oh that has cheered me right up! I do have some glittery silver ankle boots but they are 'quiet' in comparison!

UserMe18 · 28/12/2018 08:50

And yet still no where near as bad as Irregular Choice.

Tattybear16 · 28/12/2018 08:51

God they are vile, there is a reason they are in the sale😂

HappyPunky · 28/12/2018 08:53

Get them to wear for NYE

LikeARedBalloon · 28/12/2018 09:15

RNBrie ... I love that sequin jacket! If you get bored of it then you are welcome to send it my way! 😂

ChishandFips33 · 28/12/2018 09:27

Now would be the time to do it and wear them for new year - and then throughout the year to do the housework in to make you feel happy Grin

Cakemadeoffruit · 28/12/2018 09:42

Love them but think you need to pair them up with that jacket for a smashing outfit Grin

LaurieFairyCake · 28/12/2018 09:44

I'd be buying them if they weren't so high!

Love that sequin jacket too

RJnomore1 · 28/12/2018 09:44

Love them
Love the jacket
My inner Elron pushes more to the surface the older I get.

Do it!

BooHasAPressieForYou · 28/12/2018 09:46

Do it!
It's not like they're ££££

pictish · 28/12/2018 09:47

I think they look like you’ve walked through a field of sequins while covered in glue. There will be plenty of people who would consider that a selling point though!

Wear what you like, I say.

boatyardblues · 28/12/2018 09:50

Wow! I can imagine they would leave a trail of sequins as you walk along.

I left a visible sequin trail in our house on Christmas day. It’s still there until I next feel moved to get the vacuum cleaner out.

ZaZathecat · 28/12/2018 10:08

I'd get them. For my amdram wardrobe.
