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?
Seriously. Yay. I’m not going to read all 100 comments because my children may just want to eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, but would ANYONE possibly ever shoot down darling red shoes?

Enough people have told you to wear the shoes, so I’m going to go with, I don’t care what in the hell you have on your feet, as long as those feet are in San Francisco and we’re hanging out!!! :0)
oh I want ‘em! Great pick. Seriously.
Supa cute. They have my approval. Plus, you can wear almost ANYTHING in San Fran. Trust me, I know [I live here].
I so wish I could come to BlogHer and meet you
Waaaah. I didn’t register in time because I thought I was having surgery (still might be, but not for sure)…and I thought “oh, I’ll just do BlogHer next year” but I just realized that it’s not in the same city each time. Boohoo.
Well, enjoy it for me, and wear those red shoes! They’re cute!
Totally cute!

Looks like over a hundred people love the shoes… so who am I to disagree?? (I wouldn’t anyway…loved them as soon as the pic came up!!!) Go and have a blast for all us who ill still be at home!!! LOL
You’re going to BlogHer?? How’d I miss that? Can I squee and gush over you when I see you? Do you promise not to run screaming from the room when I do?
I LOVE the shoes. I am ENVIOUS of the shoes. I think they would look adorable with a pair of jeans. Damnit. I went to Payless over the weekend and fondled a few pairs of shoes (lusted for a pair of wedges before sobbing over a pair of Chuck Taylor look-a-likes) but alas, no cashola for shoes this month.
Damnit.

Love them! I’m a red-shoe-wearer myself. I love them with black pants and a black & white top.

If y’all are going to be wearing them there then I’m wearing my red flats to the office all week.
And if one wanted to find a red handbag to go with them, I’d suggest that they try payless online as they often have bags to match their shoes! (Or Target…)

LOVE the shoes~ I am a shoe whore and I think they are great! Stacy and Clinton would not steer you wrong. They are just adorable~!
ABSOLUTELY!!! You MUST wear these shoes!!! You NEED to wear these shoes!!! You HAVE to wear these shoes!!! They are uber-cute!!! Keep an eye on them, someone at the “little conference” might steal them off your feet if you’re not careful! If I were going, I probably would!
