It’s Father’s Day here at HACK, (HalfAsstic Central Kommand), and John has a post request. Who am I to disobey the king? (For ONE freakin’ day!)
I have a pair of shoes that were given to me by someone near and dear to my heart. They are hand-me-downs that the other lady couldn’t wear because of her bunion.
I took the shoes from her like the nice, appreciative person I am and yet was a little skeptical about the… age appropriateness.
Now before you start picturing something like this:
Or even this:
Try… going the other direction. You know. OLDER.
Now you’re thinking:
Well, it’s not quite THAT bad. However John thinks so.
I was wearing a pair of black capri’s with a yellow tank and an unbuttoned red eyelet, short-sleeved blouse over it.
Colorful much? Indeed. I don’t usually dress quite that colorfully. I mean, you know, unless it’s Christmas or I want to embarrass the kids something.
Anywho, John tried to DIE when he saw my shoes. Really. Almost literally. He hates them and says they are very old ladyish and NOT cute at all. I have a billiondy pairs of cute, stylish shoes and why am I not wearing ANYTHING else?
We had already left the house and he more than mentioned how much he disliked them several times. He then took me for a spa pedicure and almost moaned when I slid them back on afterward.
He teased me ALL DAY LONG.
While I found his antics comical. I did take his request into consideration and removed them when we got home.
Now, I want your vote. What do you think?
WAY too old ladyish? Or just something that needs to be worn by someone young enough to pull it off? (Clearly, not me.) Heh
And yes, the heels are about 1 1/2 wedges. *sigh*
Clearly not up to Kelley’s standards. Yet, are they that bad?

I love RED footwear – of course. So I like them.
What color are the wedge soles? I see black around the edges. If the wedge part is black, it’s not my favorite color combination. But they aren’t as bad as any of the other pictures.
I vote John buys you a new pair of shoes!

Normally I love red.. However, not those. I think the hello kitty shoes are cuter.
I’m not sure that they are old ladyish as much as just hideous. You can do much better in the red section. Free or not, those should go.

The wedge heels are black. And of course I agree with Red! Luckily, so does John!

They just have no pizzazz. Not only that, they do not have even one bling on them. Girl, you have to get more au courant. You’re dressing like an old lady and you are not that old.

I have to side with your husband here. I feel like amn 80 year-old woman from Boca would be wearing those.

Yeah, gotta go with John here. Plus, how do you know there isn’t some lingering trace of bunion juice on them? Eeewww!! (Yes, I’m certain that’s a totally real thing, Krissa.)

Oh.Em.Gee…….I love them. You can’t fool me, though. You spent the Coldwater Creek gift card, didn’t you?

I think they’re darling, but before I go making any kind of decision either way I’d have to see them on. My feet are of the variety that make anything look old lady and ugly. If your feet are related to mine, John may have a point.

I will just say this… I still love you anyway.

Hello! It’s so good to be back. Okay, I think the shoes are cute! And even though I sometimes act like an old lady, I’m officially NOT ONE. But red shoes and a wedge heel? Cute & comfy. Do you like them?

I love them but then I have never been accused of having any style!

Hmm…to form a fully educated opinion, I’d need to see them in the context of the outfit. As I see them in the picture, they’re a bit…um….bland? They’re certainly a step better than the other shoes pictured above.

Since I live in Amarillo, I am glad to see anything on women’s feet besides boots with animal excrement attached.

I think they are cute; everyone needs a pair of hooker-red shoes.
