Stolen from ML: Shoes

Would you as a grown lady wear these in public?

http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/41291408.aspx

I hate hate hate when people give the full brand name of the shoe/clothing/purse and Marc by Marc Jacobs in particular bugs theshit out of me.

Re: Stolen from ML: Shoes

  • they look like childrem's shoes

  • I kind of love them.  Go ahead and judge.

    That's the ML consensus. I don't understand why so many people in the OP think they're fabulous. And according to her Twitter, she was encouraged (and did) wear them to work!

    Shamwow, I am a child at heart, and I love the shape of them, but I can't get past the mouse part in public. I'd be all for them as slippers. Hell, I own these:

    As shoes out in the grown up world, unless you work in a preschool maybe, no. No no no.

  • Ha! I'm about to be a Pre-K teacher, actually.  But I'm less of a fancy schmancy shoe girl and more of a shoes from Tar-jay kind of girl.  Or DSW if I'm feeling crazy

  • I would wear them but to an appropriately silly event, like my scooter club stuff or in the park on a weekend. They are 100% work inappropriate.

  • Somebody made shoes just for me! 

    If they're comfortable, I'd wear them. But not if I had to pay more than $20.

    Try around $200.

  • I wouldn't even pay that for foot gloves.

    As brands go Marc by Marc Jacobs, Stella by Stella McCartney, etc all sound a bit speshul to me, like a kid who sniffed too much glue. "I'll call this one, "Me Me ME" by Myself."

    ETA: At first I thought it was just black flats with marshmallows. I bet someone on etsy has done it better.

    Exactly! And hearing someone say "Oh, you like them? They're Marc by Marc Jacobs!" makes my skin crawl. I know that's the brand name and if someone says they like my shoes I'll say "Oh, really? Payless!" but somehow the Marc by Marc Jacobs just sounds pretentious.

  • so her grandma bought her 10 pairs of expensive shoes and sunglasses and handbags?
  • My mind is boggling. I don't even own ten pairs total, and I'm always looking to cut down.

  • I wish I had her grandma.  Instead of 10 pairs of shoes I could probably get 35 pairs for the same amount of money. 

     

    And oy.  $395 full price???  Even $275.99 on sale is NUTS to me.  I have some sandals that are almost identical and they were $12.99

  • I'm pretty sure that my 9 year old wouldn't wear those in public.

    Yeah, I think they are fun and cutesy.  I'd wear them on a fun Saturday outing (if I didn't hate ballet flats, period) but not to work.  I wouldn't pay big bucks for them, though I'd pay more for them than the plain purple flats.

    If someone compliments one of my few expensive items, I'll say thanks, but I'm quick to say, "oh, thanks! It was only ten bucks at Target."

    No F'ing way. And I do like Marc Jacobs- but only bags.  I don't get the clothes/shoes. Most of it is really ugly.
  • i would just like to repeat my sentiment about someone saying footsies.  because thats just weird for an adult to say.

    and i'm a little drunk.  and hanging out on your board.

  • I wear ballet flats to work. And my feet ALWAYS smell afterwards because there is no cute way to wear socks with them. That leads to my shoes smelling bad...like really bad. No way would I pay more than $20 for a pair of shoes that will chronically smell bad after I wear them a couple times.

  • i could probably totally get away with wearing those to work. in fact i would be the hero of the day. but not for 200 smackers.

    Strange personal quirk: I hate any cutesy nicknames for feet. They're feet. Or feets, if I'm talking about a pet.

    Yes! They're not tootsies or dogs. They're feet. They're there and they're a necessary evil. That's all.

  • I call them puppy wuppies.  But mine are too cute to call feet.


    Also, those shoes make me stabby.  Hundreds of dollars on shoes makes me stabby too.  I shouldn't give a crap how other people spend their money, but apparently I do.

    Bugle, you're the wearer of my lifelong immunity vest. You can do no wrong.

  • See, shoes are one thing I'd spend hundreds on--if they were comfy and classic.  Jeans that are hundreds--that's crazy.  It's cotton.  Cotton.

    Comfy and classic are the key words. Shaped like mice, even if they were comfy, are not worth $200.

    I have had a biitch of a time finding jeans that fit me right anymore. I don't know if my weight is distributing differently or what, but they either give me muffin top or make my hips look huge. And I've never had a problem with jeans. I've been half-tempted to try on some designer jeans but I know if I did and found they fit even remotely better, I'd never be able to bring myself to buy them.
