Laurieheels Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Hi! Now, for those in the northern part of the world, it's spring, and for those in the souther part, it's autumn. So, with this change of the seasons, what is going to be different about what you wear? Are you looking to buy new shoes? What will serve you well this season? And what would you wear with it?
Dr. Shoe Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Well my leather jeans have gone away along with the thigh boots. I will be wearing more camel boots and denim. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
BabeinHeels Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 So many of the shoes coming out are so dainty and feminine to match the lovely dresses I am finding in the stores. It is so nice to see the "grunge" look finally disappearing! My newest shoes for the season........a lovely set of stiletto sandals with a satin bow at the ankle. Babe in Heels
Bubba136 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 I've noticed fashions this year are returning to more feminine look, too. My wife and two daughters returned from their annual shopping spree with several dresses each and 9 pairs of new shoes between them. My oldest daughter brought a pair of navy blue sling backs with 4" stiletto heels...closed toe and vamp with straps around the open heel and ankle. She wore them to chuch on Sunday. The other styles of shoes were slides in pastel colors (pink, yellow, lime green, ect.) with little heels (1") and flowers, butterflys on the the instep. Wedge sandals also. Styles - femine, dainty and summertime. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
High Surprise Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 Here in the UK the fashion is high high stilettos preferably in bright colours (a little like highlighter pen style). Anyone seen those? They're crazy. Nice thin heels though. They're all over the place here in London.
Laurieheels Posted May 3, 2003 Author Posted May 3, 2003 I saw an article on weddings in some magazine, recommending mules with a stiletto heel as an excellent style for matching to a wedding dress. The article lost me when it said change into some flip flops for dancing at the reception. But the heels was about four inches for the shoe in the picture. It seems thin heels might be acceptable again.
Highluc Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Hi Laury, I actually saw that happen on the wedding of a Belgian friend with an American girl last year. Both the bride and maids of honnor had matching white flip flops which they wore under their long bridal dresses as soon as the official part was finished and we proceeded for food and the party. It looked awful. Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs. Greetings from Laurence
Dr. Shoe Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Yukkkkkk!!!! Mind you, the leather ones can look quite sexy actually especially those where the strap is "Y" shap rather than "V". Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
Yamyam Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Shoe of the day featured some cute flip-flops with kitten heels. I quite liked them, in a sort of 'mmm, like to see someone else in those' kind of way. Check out http://www.stylewithsubstance.com/shoe/archives/2003_04.html to see what I mean. Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
Highluc Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Good find Yam Yam, cute models, haven't seen them in Belgium yet. Gotto try those if I can. Thanks for pointing out. Be youself, enjoy any footwear you like and don't care about what others think about it, it's your life, not theirs. Greetings from Laurence
Yamyam Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 Always glad to help, Highluc. That site is worth checking regularly, as the lady there often updates it with interesting shoes. Obsessed is such a strong word. I prefer to think of myself as "differently enthusiastic"
