I think I'll always have one pair in my closet --- they're inexpensive after all, although I'm thinking I might have a spot for some Pumas -- they strike me as "euro feminine." I'm also looking for a pair of oxfords, particularly because I'm ADORING my BF jeans, which shocks me a little.</p> <p>BTW -- Jeanne, you're so right about the iconic status of Baby......."Nobody puts Baby in a corner." Those images look fresh to my eye again, and although I'm no longer 21, I think they can be given a more "grown-up" look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690987 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 12:10:19 +0000 Deborah 690987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not my cup of tea but honestly Beth Ann for running around and as you have syled them that are adorable and so are you. I'm going with retro dream:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690973 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 11:05:24 +0000 Jjsloane 690973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who can argue with your logic of why you love them? Snoopy has hit a popularity burst at our house (DD and I have shirts - mine is for sleeping in). I too have fond memories of wearing keds and got a new (white white white) pair each summer. I prefer the slip on ones without laces and yes I briefly wore them with the big scrunchy socks. I also think of them as a more feminine alternative to cons and I like them best with light summer skirts, sundresses and more casual shorts/crop outfits - like Baby in Dirty Dancing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690969 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 09:57:31 +0000 jayne 690969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, I love the look of keds and got the biggest laugh out of snoopy dance! Ah Snoopy!, he he</p> <p>keds are ageless, like converse, and i think more feminine! Love the idea of them with a summer dress and jean jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690848 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 03:26:17 +0000 Beth Ann 690848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida: Yes, you placed your finger on it: cute vs. cheeky. Now, I don't pull off cheeky as well as you do, and I push my environmental norm quite a bit as it is. Flip flops and shorts are king! I'll ry to come up with an outfit with a bit more edge and try it out. I like a challenge! As it is, I don't wear these often, preferring my comfy, higher wedges. And I'm on the prowl for some good oxfords!</p> <p>Isabel, Jen and Kathy -- thanks for thumbs up! There is something playful about them, isn't there? </p> <p>BTW --- anyone remember when they were worn with the crunched thick socks? OK, that I'll leave to the teenagers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690830 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 02:58:32 +0000 KathyL 690830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to LOVE keds! I think you look great in them! I remember pairing them with my colored stacked socks and pegged jeans. Awww, the memories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690817 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 02:49:07 +0000 Isabel 690817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Disclosure : I am totally biased and not a Converse fan. I LOVE Keds. I love your memories with them. </p> <p>You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690799 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 02:28:15 +0000 JenA 690799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are toooo CUTE. Yes, I am using "cute" intentionally! </p> <p>I think all forms of comfy "flat" retro sneakers (sketchers, rocket dog, converse, keds etc.) are very current and have made a big return. They are totally perfect for the outfit, so go on do a snoopy dance!!</p> <p>BTW, You look beautiful in the white/pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690797 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 02:24:56 +0000 Aida 690797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no problem with Keds, they're just another preppy styled tennie to me. I have a red knockoff pair with bright white laces that I occasionally wear, but overall I prefer loafers or oxfords for myself. I think, though, that they do need careful consideration with the rest of your outfit to make them look very intentional and/or cheeky (more so than skater-y tennies or Cons for example). I'm torn about them with this outfit, but my practical side is saying they look cute but not cheeky </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-----my-keds-do-the-snoopy-dance-out-of-the-closet#post-690793 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 02:19:12 +0000 Beth Ann 690793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, there's been a lot of "shoe discussion" lately on the forum. We all have our likes and "never, no, nevers." Well, I know Keds -- the old blue-sticker-on-the-heel, almond toed canvas numbers, don't get a lot of love. But four things brought them out of the closet for me last week:</p> <p>1. I saw them in a feature in Glamour magazine (so, maybe they won't automatically make me look old)</p> <p>2. As a teen, I bought a new pair during the last week of school every year. They spelled f-r-e-e-d-o-m!</p> <p>3. My daughter loves them, because she thinks they mean a trip to the park.</p> <p>4. They are the BEST for doing my Snoopy dance!</p> <p>What say you? Matron's Delusion or Retro Dream? </p>
