Okay, I bought these shoes on Friday and adored them at the time. They are red, YES! But, they aren’t too lady-of-the-night red or Dorothy there’s-no-place-like-home red. I also thought the detailing on the shoes was especially cute. Now though, I still LOVE them, but I’m kinda worried that when I wear them people are going to notice ONLY my shoes and not my winning personality and witty conversational skills.
These shoes were bought on the intention of wearing them to this little conference I’m attending next week, where I *might* meet some other women who I would like to impress. I don’t want to overhear anyone say, “Oh my, poor girl! Did you SEE her shoes?! What WAS she thinking?!”
I plan on wearing these shoes with dark wash jeans and a either black or brown shirts. Stacy and Clinton tell people that it’s okay to add a punch of color with THEIR shoes. Can I? Should I?
Please be honest…Yay or nay on the shoes?
PS. I bought these shoes at Payless…does that make a difference?
I LOVE them, and
TAG!!

YAY a thousand times over. Jeans, capris, skirts, a shirt dress … OMG the options are limitless.
Catherines last blog post..Losing Touch
As a proud owner of 3 red shoes, I am all for them. They are really cute! I think every Cosmo gal needs a pair of red shoes. They tend to make you walk a bit differently. You’ll be strutting in no time!
Definately Dorothy Red…but in a good way. Lady of the night would be if they were stillettos. I think I just botched that word up.
I LOVE them! You should totally wear them with whatever you’d like…dark jeans, black pants, pajama shorts- whatever floats your boat!
SEriously….I LOVE them! TOTAL YAY on the shoes!!
I say yay! Everyone needs a little dash of color sometimes.

Are you sure you have a brown or black shirt? Because I remember pictures of your wardrobe and I just can’t seem to recall any brown or black shirts.

LOVE them.
And I shop at Payless.
Aimee Greeblemonkeys last blog post..A Call for the Silver Platters to Reunite!
Those shoes are super cute! I would definitely wear them with dark jeans.
Cassies last blog post..Mr. Grumpypants
I definitely say yes. I have a friend who always dresses in dark jeans and black or white tops with red shoes, and it looks VERY sophisticated. Great choice.
Ashleys last blog post..Things I love…
Not only am I jealous of your shoes, but I am equally jealous of the fact that you are going to BlogHer. I am SO going next year.
(stupid birthday.)
Margarets last blog post..MootchAss GrassyAss, Senyureeter
I love those shoes and may make a trip to payless for my own. I always notice people’s shoes. If they have cute shoes that usually means they are worth getting to know. A little superficial I know.
Lauren Popps last blog post..I’m not Freaking Out…yet
WEAR THEM! They’re fab, and I’m getting on Payless.com to order some for myself…
Katies last blog post..I Love the Eighties…
I LOVE THOSE SHOES. And they will now allow the rest of us to find you at BlogHer, kind of like holding a rose on a blind date.
I bought a cute pair of black slip ons with white polka dots today at Target, for that very same little conference. We’re gonna rock the shoes, baby!
I give them two snaps in z formation!
Seriously. I heart Payless and wore some Merrell type knockoffs at J&J Camp Baby.
Love the red. Punch of color indeed hot mama!
Good evening,
Just found your blog! LOVE those shoes, but more importantly great blogging tips in your archives.
Thanks!
Love the shoes! I have a great red bag for them…
Debs last blog post..Summer gardens
I love red in every way – shoes included. And since I have admitted that AND I happen to live in the land of Dorothy, I can say with great authority that they are not too road-to-oz at all. For that they would have to be covered in glitter.
Maggies last blog post..Best Shot Monday – Success!
DO YOU REALIZE THERE ARE ABOUT 15 OF US WEARING THESE SHOES TO BLOGHER????
I posted about it and then laughed my ass off from the comments and people emailing me.
We should TOTALLY organize a “Wear your red payless shoes to this session/cocktail party/keynote speaker” event.
It.would.be.awesome.
“I’m wearing red Payless shoes to BlogHer!”
HEE!
P.S. The are quickly becoming my favorite shoes.

Cute…punch away! Have a blast at Blogher!!! I’ll be here…alone…hello…Is anyone there?
Nap Wardens last blog post..Don’t Count Out the Old Broads!
Absolutely, wear those shoes. It’s just too bad they’re not patent leather – you know, for the Catholic girls.
lceels last blog post..Short and sweet
I think they’re tres cute! And getting them from Payless is like a free ticket to throw them out after one season, I think! That’s the excuse I use for buying stuff at cheaper stores.
Big ol thumbs up. And the fact that you bought them at payless makes me want to throw in some toes too!
Jesss last blog post..Living two lives at the same time
Love them!
I own last year’s red flats from Payless. Very similar, no pleats around the toe. Very wearable too. I have worn then with white capris, kahkis, jeans… And now I’m stalking these ones in black.
I am a Payless junkie. I am convinced that one day I will be a very successful woman with the world’s largest collection of shoes from Target and Payless.
Please tell me you know you can get 10% off if you have AAA!
TheMamas last blog post..Monday Morning Intervention
Yes, yes, yes. Wear them!
At Home Redesignss last blog post..Don’t start grilling the burgers yet…
deb, where would one find a red bag to match the shoes if they were looking????
Loralee, We should all get a picture together with our fancy red shoes!
Iceel, they DID have patent leather ones, but I didn’t want to look trampy!
Jess, that’s brilliant. I think I need my toes done…I mean I SAVED so much on these cheap shoes, I deserve a pedi!
TheMama, Wha? Huh?? No, I didn’t know that! Must.get.AAA.
Margaret, I’m skipping my anniversary to go to BlogHer. You can see where MY priorities are.
I am jealous of your red shoes. Definitely wear them!!
Cynthias last blog post..Ultrasound – 23 Weeks
Totally cute! I tend to avoid flats, though, because I’m shrimpy.
They are cute and not too Dorothy. Just don’t pair them with something too crazy colourwise, and the red will make your outfit pop, as Stacy and Clinton would say.
So your outfit sounds cute.
Thereses last blog post..Naked Interviewing Techniques and Tips
Just as a PS, the shoes are cute, but don’t have wow factor in and of themselves. If I’m being brutally honest.
Thereses last blog post..Naked Interviewing Techniques and Tips
I like the shoes and I like the idea of what you are planning on wearing them with.
I am pointedly ignoring WHERE you are planning on wearing them because if I go any greener I won’t be able to leave my house.
And hey! I’m site of the week, thats so cool, thanks!
Veronicas last blog post..Dear Neighbours…
I am so jealous that you are going to Blogher in those adorable shoes, which would look great with jeans or capris or knee length skirts. I am now torn between wanting to go to Payless and wondering if that would make me some kind of fashion stalker.
Jerseygirl89s last blog post..Happy Birthday, Dad
reading blogs saves me money! I had no idea about AAA there. They’re in patent leather too? I NEED some. Who’ll make the button for our blogs that says we’re wearing red payless shoes to blogher?
Catherines last blog post..Losing Touch
Way cute!
Hillarys last blog post..Because YOU Must Know
Love the shoes! Wear away!
Rachaels last blog post..So You Think You Can Blog?
I have some kind of like those in pink and get compliments on them all the time. Love ‘em! Wear ‘em! I want some!
LOVELY!!
charmingdrivers last blog post..Summer Lovin Had Me a Blast
I saw a girl yesterday in great dark blue bootleg jeans, with THE CUTEST dark red patent leather heels. I *totally* wanted them. I thought they looked great with the jeans. Of course I’d look ridiculous in the same outfit -because well she was like a size minus 4 with size 5 feet, and I’m a size, well never mind, but I wear a size 10 ladies shoe – and well they’re not as cute in such great shoes. But I think yours are pretty cute too – but I would have preferred a bit of a heel – although I realise that you’re going to be standing around ‘chatting’ at your conference – so these are probably a more sensible choice
Nesss last blog post..I had a date with Superman!
I love them! I say wear them with the black shirt.
I loves me some Stacy & Clinton, too!
dysfunctional moms last blog post..Peaceful Easy Feeling
As the 96 people before me, I think you should keep them, wear them, rock them and then send them to me when you’re done with them. And if you ever want a really good place to shop for shoes, come visit me, because Israel is the land of shoes, not the land of milk and honey as previously advertised.
Rabbi’s Wifes last blog post..Birthday Update
I’m in total agreement with everyone else. I wonder if Payless is the same as Spendless in Australia. If so, I might have to go looking and see once the spring/summer stock comes in.
OMG, these are too cute…but not too cute, if ya know what I mean. Dresses up jeans just a tad. Yes, I think these will work with capris.
Renees last blog post..Murano Glass Jewelry
Yes to the shoes!
