I'm a big slipper flat fan. I have a black velvet pair with no embellishments, but would wear these in a heartbeat. They may be a little harder to wear with everything, but hey, that's what more shoes are for, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-750316 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:39:55 +0000 nancylee 750316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. This little pair of shoes is generating a big thread!</p> <p>What I'm hearing from you ladies are a lot of reservations about "crests" on clothing items and fears about these shoes looking like something from the 80's. It's funny because I'm actually not a big fan of crests myself, and I don't embrace most 80's style....but somehow these seemed fun and appealing. I used to own a pair almost exactly like these, which I bought on my first trip to Paris in 1987, so there is also some nostalgia at play.</p> <p>Angie, I had a feeling you would like them! :)</p> <p>As for me....still debating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-750282 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:08:00 +0000 cciele 750282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Zap -- depends on how you style them. I would wear them with clothes that contrasted with the prep-school vibe of the loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-750162 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:22:38 +0000 Anonymous 750162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It depends on how you style them, I think. they have the potential of looking dowdy, if you are more of a classic dresser like myself, but they would look edgy if Anna wears them. It really boils down to what items you pair them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-750139 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:00:04 +0000 Angie 750139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*</p> <p>I love them! They are truly fun :)</p> <p>Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-750070 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:43:58 +0000 Preppy Pear 750070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them, but hey, I'm a preppy! I think the crest is fun, and I have those same Nine West flats, in leopard print. They aren't the most comfortable shoes in the world, but I'm a little tempted to seek yours out now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749801 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:18:06 +0000 Karie 749801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not a big fan of the crest, so nay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749800 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:17:53 +0000 Deborah 749800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Put it down to me not realy liking the crest, but I don't love them. However, how do you feel about them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749751 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 01:42:29 +0000 Thistle 749751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, these have an 80s vibe, but that is on trend right now. I really liked some of the inspiration photos above.</p> <p>Do you like the shoes? Do they make you feel fab? If you buy them, will they make you happy and feel like that wardrobe hole is beautifully met? If yes, keep them. They are current and fun.</p> <p>If no, old out to find the shoe that you can answer yes to the questions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749742 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 01:36:14 +0000 Beth 749742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the crest for me, too. If there was a pair of tassels instead of a crest, I'd be leaning towards a yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749575 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:30:31 +0000 Janet 749575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't want to discourage you, but I'm just not a big fan of crested items. Just one of my little quirks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749571 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:28:57 +0000 Anonymous 749571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the idea of a crested slipper flat, I just think these particular ones are meh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749564 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:24:26 +0000 nancylee 749564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. So many negative reactions (thanks for the love and visual support, Anna). </p> <p>I actually don't think they're a fashion throwback (to your points, Anna and Rae) since they're a slipper flat shape (not a ballet flat), but the negative reactions of almost everyone so far make me worried. I don't want the general reaction to be that I'm clueless and wearing some 80's leftover. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749554 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:15:49 +0000 catgirl 749554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see a certain appeal but I'm not sold on them. Can't put my finger on why - usually that means its an 80s flashback. But is it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749544 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 22:06:52 +0000 annagybe 749544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them.

I DO like velvet smoking slippers (especially with a skull embroidered on the front), but this particular pair just isn't doing much for me. I think you can do better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749439 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:51:21 +0000 nancylee 749439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alas, not much love so far.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749402 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:06:09 +0000 Parsley 749402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not in love with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749394 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:54:51 +0000 Anonymous 749394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote nay, just because I don't like that particular crest. They seem to be back in at the stores but I think a plain or patterened slipper flat will take you farther. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ok-final-kr-vote-on-the-crested-slipper-flats#post-749385 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:49:31 +0000 nancylee 749385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted these Nine West slipper flats as part of a bigger K/R post last week, and they received mixed reviews. I wanted some dressy slipper flats/smoking loafers and felt these might work.....now I'm having second thoughts. Many of you commented that it was a dated 80's look. So:</p> <p>Yay - these are a cute take on the smoking loafer<br /> Nay - these look like a bad 80's flashback </p>
