I had a pair of near-flatforms like this that I badly twisted my ankle wearing. Oddly, the steeper the arch incline the less likely I am to stumble.</p> <p>I love the sweater in #1 is that Helmut Lang? And the leather jacket in #2 looks like Theory. You have an amazing wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-862605 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:28:50 +0000 bj1111 862605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have a flatform loafer on the way with a much much lower platform. still searching for the holy grail sandal that is both fun and not stratospherically priced.</p> <p>the refined trend makes me rethink proportions.i don't want to be relegated to wearing heels all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-862597 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:24:19 +0000 Angie 862597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lower platform is a very good start </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-862586 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 00:16:32 +0000 bj1111 862586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's the shape and the all one color. i think i need lower platforms or some sort of color trim on the platform itself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861383 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:38:37 +0000 Mo 861383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree these are tending toward brick like. I love me some platform, but to me these are just a bit too clunky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861380 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:36:28 +0000 bj1111 861380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok...the reason why i'm so torn about these is that i think i do the refined style in my sleep. this is not a stretch for me. nor do i consider it particularly fashion forward or architectural.</p> <p>that said, there must be other options. these just look like taupe colored bricks on my feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861377 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:34:26 +0000 Suz 861377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in your white jeans!! Whoot! </p> <p>But Tina's story combined with Angie's prediction makes me feel your pennies could be better spent on a different pair of amazing shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861374 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:33:33 +0000 bj1111 861374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>zap...i tend to twist my ankle on low shoes! loose flats, slim strapped sandals...i fall, they fly off, someone else gets a shoe in the noggin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861373 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:31:56 +0000 bj1111 861373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>elle...i do travel a lot...too much. (high class problem i know).</p> <p>i spent a few months in oz in 2009 then returned for a few weeks recently. i travel to la a lot...my sister lives there. wherever i go, i shop!</p> <p>i think oz is a season behind. no disrespect meant. just the reality of the production cycle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861356 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:12:33 +0000 Anonymous 861356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just worried about a twisted ankle, they look like an accident waiting to happen, IMO. I vote pass.</p> <p>you look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861351 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:04:42 +0000 ElleH 861351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do look good in those outfits posted:) BJ111 I thought you lived in Australia, didn't you recommend shops there? Here you mention Fred Segal are you an LA gal? Or do you travel a lot? I'm not being nosy it's just that platforms seem big in Australia, &amp; I thought you lived there so I mentioned it earlier. Though I did mention on Angie's blog about pants that I don't plan to buy anything that is on the way out so maybe they will be on the way out there soon too &amp; you have the option of returning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861262 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:38:42 +0000 bj1111 861262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah, yes...i just needed to take photos. on the plus side, hubs hates them!</p> <p>ps: thanks for the compliment. as you know...i'm doing that precision nutrition year long program. so something must be taking effect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861260 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:37:17 +0000 Angie 861260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have to say bj111, I am leaning towards a return since you are very fashion forward.</p> <p>LOVE THE REST OF YOUR PIECES. You look so good in white jeans it should be illegal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861255 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:34:27 +0000 bj1111 861255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>angie---photos added. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861213 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:07:05 +0000 Angie 861213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elle, you crack me up. Lets see those sandals. They might not be dated at all. </p> <p>Tina, you poor thing - and you also crack me up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861211 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:06:12 +0000 bj1111 861211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i've been looking for a pair of reasonably priced flatforms for a while. i came so close to buying these at fred segal's a few weeks ago. </p> <p><a href="http://www.calleencordero.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=44&#038;products_id=3452" rel="nofollow">http://www.calleencordero.com/.....ts_id=3452</a></p> <p>so i thought the marnies would be more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861202 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:01:19 +0000 Tina.b 861202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, the only time I've suffered a shoe incident was with a pair of Marni wedges. And they weren't as high as this even. I twisted my ankle so bad, that I banished the shoes to a box and hid them. I have no idea where they even are now. They were cool, brown, with a neon pink strap. Probably closer to flatforms than actual wedges. I wear way more death defying footwear than this, so it was a strange incident. Now that was a tangent, and absolutely no help at all...</p> <p>I think Angie's advice is spot on. But I do keep and love shoes in my closet that one would not consider on trend. I should go unearth those shoes for the sake of my collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861201 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 01:01:06 +0000 ElleH 861201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops I just bought two new pairs of platforms in Australia. Everyone was wearing them. I had seen them in stores here in previous seasons but I am slow to jump on things. I wish everything would stay around a bit longer so that slow me could wear them before they go out again. Some things stay around for ages but not everything. Angie I'm glad you said there is a small market for it as I can't return mine &amp; hopefully I won't be too dated. I can't comment on K/R because I have no idea what is dated. I nearly got rid of pointy toe high heeled pumps &amp; now they are back! I'm scared to get rid of anything now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861174 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:47:27 +0000 Angie 861174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is definitely on the way out as far as being "on trend". A few shows showed platforms, and even fewer hectic platforms like these. It's ALL about refined footwear. NYFW, London, Milan and Paris (Paris FW is still happening) are all showing the same footwear trends. </p> <p>That said, this style won't disappear from retail over night. There will continue to be a small market for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861171 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:43:45 +0000 Thistle 861171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would fall flat on my face in these beauties! I think they are still on trend, but I am not sure. I have never seen anyone in my part of the world wear anything similar. They would totally make a statement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861167 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:41:25 +0000 Mochi 861167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't speak to whether or not they're dated. To my mind, they're so outrageously out there (I mean this in a good way) that it would be more of a question of ingenious styling as to whether or not you could pull them off. I find them wildly fabulous. </p> <p>(And if I were wearing them, I'd finally be normal height.....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-marni-wedges#post-861162 Wed, 27 Feb 2013 00:37:37 +0000 bj1111 861162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i just got these in a taupe not the brown shown...too dated?</p> <p>styled... </p>
