Hi all,

Please could I have some opinions on these boots. I have a very neutral wardrobe and it’s been feeling a bit boring recently, what do you think?

I was thinking I would wear them with light wash straight leg jeans and black cigarette pants but they could could go with most neutral plain outfits?

Thank you Smile

I like the idea of them but something about that particular pair isn't doing it for me. They're reminding me of Bill Nighy in Love Actually. Sorry.

🤣🤣🤣 DP said I’d look like an ageing Country and Western singer (jokingly but still 😂)

@Glitterandglow Thsnks! 😊 They are Jimmy Choo (reduced in the sale 😉) I was going to treat myself but I might keep looking for more affordable ones as I wouldn’t be wearing them all the time... They have similar on Whistles and French Connection I’ve just seen 😃

Nope.

Maireas · 20/01/2021 19:08

Love them! I want a pair!
Love me a bit of snakeskin, leopard print is a bit overdone now. Great heel! Where from?

Maireas · 20/01/2021 19:09

Sorry, just seen they're Jimmy Choo.
Go for it. They're fabulous.

Bluesheep8 · 21/01/2021 11:21

No. I think they're hideous, no matter who they're by. I would still think they were hideous for £10 in Primark.

Bluesheep8 · 21/01/2021 11:22

But we are all different and like what we like

That wouldn't make me want to buy them though. Maybe I'm the wrong target market as I don't get excited by designer footwear brands.
WildCherryBlossom · 21/01/2021 15:30

Oh I think I prefer the French Connection ones actually!

Ingridla · 21/01/2021 16:00

No, sorry I dislike the material, colour & (ugly) heel. Wear what you want though!

So do I.

I see the JCs are described as 'Dijon' which presumably means they're meant to be yellowish, but it just makes them look like old discoloured plastic to me.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 21/01/2021 19:44

Buy them!
I have a a very similar style in black snakeskin but mine are only Miss Selfridge not Jimmy Choo I'm afraid.
Buy them!

Jbck · 21/01/2021 21:17

Love them, don’t like the others, the heels on both are ugly.

Maireas · 21/01/2021 22:33

@"Ginfordinner - that's not my point. You missed my previous post. I said they're gorgeous, where are they from?
Then saw Jimmy Choo. They're gorgeous, and the make is Jimmy Choo. Not because.

Maireas · 21/01/2021 22:35

Waves at @TracyBeakerSoYeah!
I love them, too! I don't care where they're from, I want a pair. Your Miss Selfridge ones, are they still available?

Ginfordinner · 21/01/2021 22:38

Clearly I did. Oops Blush
Maireas · 21/01/2021 22:40

Ginfordinner no problem!
I have Jimmy Choo taste on a teacher's salary!

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 21/01/2021 22:43

Awful. Very late 1990s.

Ginfordinner · 21/01/2021 22:46

The last pair of boots I bought were wellies Grin
It is so wet and muddy where I live even my walking boots aren't good enough.

ayegazumba · 21/01/2021 22:48

Yes! I have a pair just like this which I wear (wore) to work all the time. You'll be surprised at how much they go with

Maireas · 21/01/2021 22:59

I want Melania's Gucci dress. Wise purchase or not?
Advice please. I am about 2ft shorter than her, but my husband isn't orange.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 21/01/2021 23:06

Go for it @Maireas (you could always paint tan your DH to match 😂)

I think it's very Villanelle & would love it as a mini dress.

Have pmd you & excuse us for hijacking your thread @the90swerebetter
(Buy the Jimmy Choos - they're an investment, you will get lots of pleasure from them & as long as you look after them the cost per wear will be pennies in the long run)
