raccoon Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 During shopping today I came across a lady in some nice calf boots. They had fairly pointed toes and 3" or 3.5" blade heels (I'm not so good at estimating heel heights). What struck me most were their colour. Awesome bright yellow! I've never seen anything like that. Here's a sample of what comes near, but hers were brighter again. What do you say? Edit 18 Sep: picture link redirected
genebujold Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Bright yellow (or any color yellow) is always smashing! But I prefer muted colors for the guys. But hey - whatever floats your boat!
Zinkhink Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 I love yellow shoes. It started when I was about 12 years old and my sister bought a pair of yellow high heels (3 inches) at a local market. She was going to use the shoes for a "bad taste party". After the party she threw the shoes away. But they never ended up in the bin. They somehow ended up in my closet 15 years later I still got the shoes, but they are way to small for me. They are a size 5 UK and I wear 9-10UK. I recently bought a pair of yellow shoes that would fit me: They are made by Ellie shoes, model 8221
unknown Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 I've been meaning to get some yellow shoes myself. After all, its a nice change of pace from the usual black.
JeffB Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 This is just me mind you, but yellow does nothing for me. It's just too conspicous for daily wear. I'll stick with more muted colors. I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
virginie Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Bright yellow can be really nice, it was fashionable this spring as a matter of fact, not too steep yellow pumps with a long pointy nose were very in fashion, of course i had to get a pair myself I don't think bright yellow boots are the way to go, though
Dr. Shoe Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 Yellow thigh boots look absolutely stunning with a red pvc catsuit! Watchout, yellow is going to be the big colour next spring. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
new_look Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 i like them. Yellow pumps look very bold, and i remember the beyonce video where she wore some yellow boots with a high wooden heel. also very sexy
Bubba136 Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 How about yellow suede? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
asdf174 Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I like bright color shoes. It's all good. ~Arron.
JeffB Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 This is just me mind you, but yellow does nothing for me. It's just too conspicous for daily wear. I'll stick with more muted colors. Upon further review, I do believe I've contradicted myself since I've worn RED patent in public, and that's no more muted than yellow! :rofl: I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
Jaral2 Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 I would see very well yellow pumps under jeans.... Of course with a yellow belt, and bag (same color) to carry the keys and so on. Cheers
Zinkhink Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Did anyone of the swedish members watch Swedish Idol on tv4 on 15/10-04? When I saw the yellow thigh boots Stina was wearing, my yaw dropped to the floor! I've been searching the web for a picture, but so far no luck. The boots she wore looked liked theese:
Zinkhink Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 The only picture I've been able to find is this one, but it doesn't show the boots One of the judges comment was: I've got only on thing to say, nice boots."
Ellen-Jay Posted October 17, 2004 Posted October 17, 2004 Yellow is good!!! Ellen-Jay --------------------------------------------------- The shoes aren't sensible, so why is the talk?
Zinkhink Posted October 18, 2004 Posted October 18, 2004 Bright yellow IS smashing! I love your sandals Ellen-Jay! Zinkhink
Ellen-Jay Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 Bright yellow IS smashing! I love your sandals Ellen-Jay! Zinkhink Thank you! There is another picture on the "my wife's shoes" thread. --------------------------------------------------- The shoes aren't sensible, so why is the talk?
flipflop klipklop Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 I personally like the scream that yellow has. There is a fine line however, between tasteful and tackiness. If you wear too much yellow, you'll be a walking banana! Yes, it's beautiful isn't it?
raccoon Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 I personally like the scream that yellow has. ... If you wear too much yellow, you'll be a walking banana! That's what I like most about it, too. It's best as a contrasting color.
Dawn HH Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Ellen-Jay:-) Now, on you Ellen, yellow shoes look stunning. Not everyone will be able to pull that off. But I think that yellow thigh-high boots are a bit much. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
highheellover Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 nice yellow heels and yellow rules. Girls and heels rock.
