I just want to eat them! :)</p> <p>Sorry you got a thumbs down Queenie! I learned a lot about why loafers do or don't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307238 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 02:54:50 +0000 Maya 307238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay. I don't like the clunky heel, and somehow I have never come around to gold loafers. I associate them with old ladies, although I don't know why.</p> <p>If they had a less pronounced sole and the uppers were a fun color, I'd say yes. Like so:</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/michael-michael-kors-winsor-loafer/3123689?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;resultback=1231" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....tback=1231</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307185 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 01:34:35 +0000 bella 307185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you wear your oxfords? Aren't they the perfect transitional shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307131 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:29:35 +0000 kellygirl 307131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew, sounds like you are sorted and saved from the loafer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307122 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:25:43 +0000 Marley 307122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Nay - its the black sole that just screams "old lady" to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307063 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 23:29:42 +0000 Queen Mum 307063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>back they go! thanks for all the input. This is what happens when I mindlessly wander into Famous Footwear to check out the clearance rack. So glad I have you all to set me straight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307053 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 23:00:49 +0000 marianna 307053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay for me. It's that odd heel that makes them look matronly to me. If they were flatter they would look more modern, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307018 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:57:34 +0000 Beth 307018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nay for me. The higher vamp and the black "comfort" sole say old lady to me. Your cute feet deserve better. I'd go with a true driving moc over these:/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307017 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:56:34 +0000 Barbara 307017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, QM, but I'm just not feeling those loafers. </p> <p>The spring 2011 fashion magazines - ALL of them - feature loafers, but many are classics, like Bass. I have these in black and oxblood:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/bass-london-black-box-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bass-lon.....ox-leather</a></p> <p>With pennies, of course! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-307002 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 21:39:41 +0000 ticksgirl 307002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also voted nay, but might be swayed if you showed them with an outfit. I bought clogs to serve this very purpose, and I find they work with a lot more than I thought they would. But I know that clogs (like loafers:) aren't for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306977 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:49:16 +0000 Elly 306977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 'em--- I see a ton of young ladies around here (the stylish ones) at the college running around in loafers and skinnies in fun colors or metallics as a ballet flat alternative--- I think you could pull them off, but they do need a great outfit to go with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306952 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:19:42 +0000 Lisa 306952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote nay, any outfit you would pair these with, I'd prefer to see with a lace up oxford shoe instead of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306909 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:21:55 +0000 RoseandJoan 306909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay Queenie, I think if the vamp was slightly lower they would be so much more versatile. I do think the right pair would look amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306908 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:21:15 +0000 catgirl 306908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>QM, I'm with you on comfy, which is why I have mostly boots and clunky shoes (and Uggs). I don't know what it is about loafers, exactly. Look forward to an outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306907 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:18:47 +0000 Queen Mum 306907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una- don't apologize at all. I want all perspectives. I am pretty anti-loafer as well. I really don't know why I even tired these on, but I did and I do have to say they are mega comfy, but I need comfy as well as stylish.</p> <p>I'll work on getting an outfit put together for these Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306898 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:12:37 +0000 catgirl 306898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to vote nay... I am anti-loafer in general - I feel about loafers (nless they are really clunky like Fluevogs) the way some people feel about Uggs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306896 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:12:18 +0000 MsMaven 306896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them and think they could look fine. They don't look "old lady" in the sense I think you mean it. I think the metallic makes them workable, but then, I am an old lady. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306894 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:08:32 +0000 Mo 306894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this really depends on what you pair them with . . . could go either way.</p> <p>EDIT: I'm leaning toward nay considering the classic slant in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306890 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:06:13 +0000 Marlene1 306890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay. I really like a more driving moc kind of loafer - in fact, I'm sort of obsessed by them. I have some pricey Tods, but I actually prefer my AK Anne Klein Greater mocs. (I have three pairs.) They are as comfy as slippers and they come in lots of colors. I wear them in the summer with skinnies, casual short skirts, and bermudas. If I need a pedicure, they are my best friends!</p> <p>6pm.com has them now.<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/ak-anne-klein-greater-hot-pink" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/ak-anne-klein-greater-hot-pink</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306888 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:02:33 +0000 Angie 306888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to see them with an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306882 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:51:44 +0000 rae 306882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're cute! Voted yay - the buckle and color keep them modern for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306881 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:50:35 +0000 Scarlet 306881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I voted nay. From the side view I thought they look good, but I am having a hard time envisioning these in an outfit. Could be my failing though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306878 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:45:57 +0000 Kristine 306878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep, but I'm a fan of old lady shoes obviously. I think the metallic keeps them from looking matronly. I actually like them just the way you're wearing them. I've been looking at loafers too, I hope you get a thumbs up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/loafers-yay-or-old-lady-nay#post-306875 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:43:57 +0000 Queen Mum 306875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seriously lacking in transitional weather shoes (as in not boots, not sandals) I can't decide if these are matronly or not. I wouldn't necessarily wear them with skinnies, most likely boot cuts. Unless it is declared that loafers with skinnies is fab.</p> <p>yay= keep<br /> nay= you're way to hot and stylish for these puppies </p>
