are these sandals frumpy?

always trying

Veteran

No selfies yet, but did take a photo of these sandals. They are bronze metallic, and I have had them for a few years,and seldom wore them. They did not go out with the big purge as they are comfy, but am finding so many cute sandals that I like so much better.. However I mostly wear flat sandals so if they went to my charity donation (Laura's House) would probably not replace them, So are they dated?, frumpy? -or just not my current style

if you're not wearing them - then I vote they are not your current style and unless you have an exceptional reason to keep them - PURGE - but I would not say they are in and of themselves frumpy

I've been online shopping for sandals and I would say they are not frumpy. If they are comfortable to try wearing them at least at home for a few hours and see how you feel about them.

I like them and can think of a number of ways to wear them that are not frumpy. But if you don't wer them , who cares ? Purge ; )

I would say they're not dated, but they *are* frumpy... and you need to put a bird on it. I.e., they're good for doing hipster chic. And actually a lot of other kinds of chic, but they all involve belle laide principles.

Rachylou, lol ! Belle ironique ? I made that up therefore it may not make sense. ; )

I think they're pretty, and I wouldn't call them frumpy, but they're not the cutting edge of fashion, either. I don't know your style yet, to know whether they fit with it, but I'd say that if they're comfortable and you're still not wearing them, there must be a disconnect, so maybe you should pass them on and find something you'll enjoy wearing.

Isabel - belle ironique... that's positively genius!

I would say that they're not frumpy, necessarily, but not on trend. They might work if they're comfortable, and you style them with more on trend pieces.

Not frumpy, but it just depends on whether they feel like "you".

If you are not feeling them release them to the universe and open a space for something to better find you.

I don't think they're frumpy at all, personally, especially with the bronze -- though I get that sometimes we all move past certain items regardless.

I don't think they're frumpy, but I don't think they're that exciting either. I vote to donate them and move on to something that will make your heart sing when you wear them!

I love a metallic sandal for summer! And a wedge is a great blend of comfort and fashion. I would hesitate to wear these if they were in my closet, but I likey would choose something else if I were shopping for them today, if that makes sense.

Still, if you're not feeling them, pass them on to someone who will go dancing in them every Saturday night!

Not frumpy, but if you are not wearing them you could put them in a holding pile before you finally decide. Or you could try some outfits with them and see if you can make them work.
