are black converse too emo for a thirtysomething yr old???

[indiasmum]

i wanted to get navy ones but they only had black and as i had it in my mind that i simply had to have them, i bought the black. but now worrying i will look like an emo! and due to fact i dont now what really defines emo or what it means i must be far too old to go down that route! i like em do you think its ok?

Nah you'll be fine.

What's an "emo"?

I think black converse sound lovely. Blue good too. Totally mystified at the dilemma frankly. Always keen to learn. Explain.

plain black and plain white are very now I think.

only emo if you have a ludicrous haircut to match!

What's emo? Please.

no, get black. Emo is a whole look and one pair of shoes won't make you a moody teenager!

no will be fine.

Thank you.

Emo is so last season, it's all about Rod Hull and 'Emu' now. Honestly. Try it.

Boco you are the funniest MNer ever

lol boco

I clicked on this thread hoping to find out what an emo is!

I think black converse are fine. The inch thick eyeliner and stud through your lip might be a touch OTT though.

I am 36 and love mine ... they look great with jeans and a casual top

they will look ace on you, I love mine, wear them all the time

I am 44 and wear them.

Emos wear Vans, dontcha know.

Not too emo, just too UGLY and SMELLY. (The shoes, not you, Indiasmum, obviously you are fragrant and gorgeous, but you will be significantly less so if you wear those horrid, horrid shoes).

Converse Aren't Emo =]
Converse Are 'Scene/Rocker'
Vans Are 'Skater'
DC's/ Etnies Are 'Emo'
Hth

Excellent DanielleC

Daniella - sorry

Dc's And Etnies look pretty much the same as Vans (Big clumpy kinda trainers) it's only really teenagers who can tell the difference =]
