Re: seriously?!?!

  • That's so nice of her.  Wow...not necessary at all.

    I agree that a button down would look cute with those.  And bermuda shorts for sure! (probably white or khaki colored)

  • wow... that was a bit tacky.

    I think those shoes are really cute!

  • serves me right for thinking that just because someone is on the fashion board doesn't mean they have good taste.

    I'm obsessed with the shoes.  I wore them with my pajamas at home last night.  :-)

  • Jeeeez... how rude!  I think they are ADORABLE.  I would probably wear them with khaki capris and a button down... 

    I love them, dont let her spoil your shoe fun!!!  She probably has cankles anyways. 

  • Her SN looks really familiar.  If I'm remembering correctly, she used to be on The Knot on the "Wedding Woes" board.  She was really sarcastic and really tacky.  I think all the girls who were regulars on that board got kicked off because of their attitude about 6 months ago or so. 
  • I love those!!!  They are cute and look really comfortable.
  • People are just rude and we're definitely not sheltered from it on the national boards.

    I agree with the light colored pants/capris/bermuda length.  I bet they look really cute on.  I could never pull off shoes like these because I have giant feet and am larger than the average bear. 

  • Yikes, that was really rude. She must live under a rock if she doesn't think topsiders are still around. I love 'em! I almost bought the cutest pair of plaid Sperrys at Nordstrom last weekend, but chickened out because I'd already spent too much money that day ;)

    I think they're ADORABLE!  They'd be super cute with white capris/pants/shorts or with jeans and khakis.

  • meh... it's an LA opinion.  I'm not surprised.  But honestly, speery's ARE very preppy and aren't popular all over.  Even in TX they aren't everybody's style. 

    I'd wear them w/ khakis or jeans (no skirts).

  • Those are cute shoes Table!

    I think shorts, jeans, capri or bermuda length pants would look good with them.  I bet they would look adorable with a skirt.

    I think it was a different part of the country reaction - I am sure she wears some things that we would find hideous. 

    Enjoy your shoes - they look like they will be fun this summer!

    Yes

  • Like them or not, manners are always in style. Maybe that's just a southern thing though :)
  • I love my sperry's... and I think those are soooo cute! I wear them with my jeans/khakis all the time

     

  • I think the 2 LA/Orange County girls (I say this from being on the board with them way back in the day) just don't really have a lot nice to say about anyone.  Sorry they were rude!
  • I wish there were more pictures of her so I can gloat inside about the hideous stuff she wears.  Wink

     

  • I think they are super cute, perfect summer shoes!!
  • I LOVE them! I plan to get a pair of the more plain khaki ones before we go on vacation.
  • I'm not a fan of topsiders myself, but those are actually cute!  They look a little more modern because of the color.  They would be really cute with white jeans.

    Well, I think I have decent taste and I wouldn't wear those, either.  But I don't know why her opinion bothers you so much.  If you love them, who cares.

    She has a blog, but you won't find tacky on it.  I know her from LA and she has fab taste and gorgeous kids.

    I Agree. While those shoes aren't for me keep in mind not everyone on that board even has taste.  There's always posts asking what shoes they should wear with some dress they are wearing to a wedding/christening/graduation and 9 times out of 10 the dress looks straight out of 5 7 9, something I would have worn in the early 90's to go clubbing in.

    I'm not assuming that I am the ultimate judgement in good taste.  Just thought her reply was catty, so was using good taste more as a double entendre.

    darn!  Smile Although score one for (wo)mankind for someone with great taste.

    Really? On the MM board, I think they are both generally non-snarky and usually tell it like it is with good advice.  And ditto pp about her having great taste and beautiful kids.  I follow her blog too.  Everybody's taste is different and those shoes are really NMS either.  I've lived in Texas all my life and I have no idea what Topsiders or Sperrys are and I am pretty fashionable.  Don't let snarky things strangers say get to you. Wink

    I think that is absolutely the BEST response to that thread.  I may steal it and post, if that's ok. 

    I think they reacted horribly tacky and childish.  I think they are adorable but even if I didn't, then I wouldn't say so.  

    I would so wear them with a pair of white capri's or a cute jean skirt.
