With several of us shopping in the boys department for shirts (heh) I just thought I'd throw that idea out there. I'm always amazed at how the fashions for girls are so mature/sexy/grown-up so you might be pleasantly surprised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-577186 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 03:00:02 +0000 Mo 577186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sound of the open toed slingbacks a lot more than the shoes in question. They seem a bit, um, churchladyish? (no offense to any church goers out there!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-577146 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 02:16:43 +0000 shoppingisfun 577146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the replies. Okay, so I returned my super cute too-big wedges to DSW, and while I was there I found some open-toed nude slingbacks with bows on the toes (I bought a pair in red, too). Will post later... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-577053 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:30:54 +0000 MsMary 577053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! No, you wouldn't wear the same clothes as a junior high school or high school girl, but other than that you should feel absolutely free to try any and every trend that strikes your fancy!!</p> <p>You don't seriously think those $150-plus colored jeans are being sold only or even mostly to the under-30 set, you do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-577049 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:29:18 +0000 MsMaven 577049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These shoes don't do it for me and I'm more than twice as old as you. It indeed may be the color, and there is something about the straps that remind me of ages past, and not in a good way.</p> <p>I have a size problem too. It's a real pain and takes a lot of effort and searching to find decent looking comfortable shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-577047 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:27:36 +0000 Isis 577047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@shoppingisfun: girl, you are barely out of your 20's! I really think you can wear just about anything except for fashion targeted at the jr high crowd! (which would be, what? I guess no hello kitty pajamas to work....)</p> <p>Explore it up while you are young; why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-577040 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 23:18:00 +0000 Classically Casual 577040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of "old", if there's one thing I'm become more aware of, it's self-imposed rules<br /> we can sometimes give ourselves. And as time goes by they can pile up.</p> <p>And it's SO MUCH more fun to be open to the possibilities: colored jeans, leather jackets, silly jewelry, whatever. In the great scheme of things it's all very low risk. And if someone doesn't like what we're wearing, so what? We don't always agree on lots of other topics either.</p> <p>Now back to that cycle repair....:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576987 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:58:02 +0000 greenglove 576987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is the color that seems old- lady, sometimes the style looks entirely different on the foot. I would try them and then post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576975 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:43:04 +0000 ironkurtin 576975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are very conservative, but they'll only look old-ladyish if you dress like an old lady. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576971 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:32:01 +0000 shoppingisfun 576971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie whenever they start wearing orthopedic-looking shoes. It's probably all relative...I'm almost 33 and I feel too old for a lot of trends out there. I am a frustrated shopper lately, as I feel too old for many trends out there, and too short for the rest of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576970 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:31:40 +0000 Aida 576970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*nod nod* I do think this pair is cute, if it didn't come across that way. Since shoes are hard to find, it would be great to get these now and then look for a metallic pair in a different style maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576969 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:29:56 +0000 shoppingisfun 576969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Aida I am not opposed to a metallic, but it is not easy to find shoes in my size so I have not had the opportunity to try any yet! Going to DSW later today though to return my too-big super-cute wedges (sigh), so maybe I'll find something. My problem is that 5.5's are often too short and 6's are way too wide. What I need is a "narrow" size but selection, even online, is limited (especially considering that I'm on a budget!)...I've actually never in my life even tried on a "narrow" size but I'm sure I need them because every pair of shoes I own is either too wide or too short. </p> <p>@Meredith, thanks for the opinion. They do look better on feet than in the photo...maybe I'll try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576965 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:28:42 +0000 Angie 576965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sandals. </p> <p>Shoppingisfun, just out of interest, when is a lady *old*? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576963 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:26:49 +0000 biscuitsmom 576963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576961 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:25:20 +0000 Meredith1953 576961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Metallic would be fun as Aida pointed out and more edgy but the sandal itself is in the nude color is very lovely and not the least Old Ladyish I MO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576958 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:22:41 +0000 Aida 576958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape and the color is OK, but have you considered getting a metallic? I think this shape in pewter or gold would be MUCH sassier </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-sandals-too-old-lady#post-576956 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 21:20:42 +0000 shoppingisfun 576956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I'm 32 years old and have been trying to find some nude sandals for about 83823023 years now (or at least a couple of months). I wear a 5.5 and have narrow feet, so shoes that fit are not easy to find. I bought a pair of adorable nude sandals, but I think I need to return them; my feet just move around way too much in them and I'm afraid I'll twist my ankle!</p> <p>I tried on a pair of these at DSW and they basically fit; do these look too much like old lady shoes to you guys? Honestly, I think they look better on than they do in the photos, but use your imagination! I'm planning on wearing them with some rolled-up skinnes this spring (I'm short, so I need to lengthen my leg line with some low contrast heels to pull off the look). </p> <p><a href="http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/catalog/product.jsp?fromPage=shoppingBag&#038;category=dsw12cat750002&#038;brand=&#038;prodId=237631&#038;no_redirect=1&#038;skuId=58000000002376313300000M005.5&#038;productRef=SEARCH&#038;qty=1&#038;item=ci8218020967" rel="nofollow">http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/c.....8218020967</a> </p>
