Ask Angie & All: These Metallic Pumps - Yay or Nay?

Ingunn

This is the last (and final, I promise) post about "nude" pumps from me for a while. What are your thought on these metallic kitten heeled pumps for me? They are about 2" high, very comfortable, leather, pointy toe bot not too much, and a dark silver metal.

#1-2: I tried them with the full skirt ensemble with moto/denim jacket.
#3: How I'm wearing them right now at home with boyfriend jeans.

My questions:
Can you see them functioning as my "nude" pump (as much as a beige patent one would)?
Are they versatile enough for everyday wear?

I appreciate all and any comments, suggestions and spanners, too. Thank you for reading!

I think they are perfect! What are they? The heel looks like 2"? They bookend, seem almost nude and are very modern in the metallic. If they are comfy you have a winner IMO.

I really like these and I think if they are comfier than the MK ones go for these, as they fill a similar role.

Wow. Those are awesome.

Oh, Ingunn, I love these on you! They are more of a light neutral than a nude, but they really do complement what you have modeled here. I do not think they are too shiny for everyday wear. They just add a fun little kick to your outfits. That being said, if you feel your wardrobe is needing a "true nude", I would stick with the MK pumps. Can you keep both? They each have their own special vibe. [On a personal note -- I find my own wardrobe does just fine without a truly nude shoe. I adore my metallic neutrals and wear them to death.]

I like them better than nude. They seem perfect for your style! Classic but modern.

They are gorgeous.

Oh these are downright gorgeous Ingunn! If possible, I prefer them to the MK ones and if the heel is a little bit lower and more comfy, then to me they are a slam dunk. I believe they will work brilliantly as a nude pump for you.

BTW that black and white circle skirt is FAB on you

OMG big thumbs up on these metallic pumps and everything you're wearing them with. They totally work as a neutral both in terms of style and "color."

Love them on you! They look fab in both outfits. If they are comfy, they are keepers! That said, to me, these are neutral the same way leopard is a neutral - they go with everything and provide a fun pop of interest. A nude shoe can serve a different purpose if there is a lot going on in the rest of the outfit and you don't want your shoes to be an additional point of focus. But, from what I've seen of your outfits, ALGO doesn't seem to be your style, so you may not have a need for a truly nude shoe.

Oh, thanks, everyone! I have to admit that I prefer these to the MK nude pumps, but I also agree that they fill a slightly different role. I'm probably able to keep both, but I'm not too sure that I will be wearing them enough. I like the metallic ones more for my style, but I definitely see that the nude pumps are better for certain occasions and outfits.

Ooh, I love them! They look great with both outfits that you've posted.

These are so pretty and fun Ingunn - and metallic seems to be so on trend right now too, I don't think you could go wrong with these. Love the circle skirt too!

Astrid

I love them! I would get these if you decide you only want one pair.

Love-you should keep but I still love the MK patent nude too!

Thank you - I need to decide by tomorrow to keep the MK's or not.

Jjsloane, you asked what these are: They are Vagabond, a Swedish brand. The model is called Disa, and it comes in several great colors.

STUNNING!! Whatever you do, please, please keep these. And send me a pair, too, while you are at it!! They look perfect on you and for you, and much more wearable with the lower heel than the MK (much as I loved the MK).

By the way, I love both circle skirt outfits. Absolutely brilliant.

Adelfa

Veteran

I love the MK, but to me these look more "you" and more comfortable. I have an easier time seeing you wearing these to death. Very pretty!

Claudia

Veteran

Great pumps, keep. Ingunn, I also think your outfits here would look really great with the same pumps in white. Do you have white pumps? Do these metallics also come in white?

Ingunn

Veteran

Yes, they come in white, too. And red. Now I'm getting greedy.

Claudia

Veteran

Oh, I'd think about duplicating here because its hard to find comfy pumps that are sleek and pretty with this perfectly practical heel height.

I agree with Angie that white shoes are looking very fresh and modern and can see them looking really great with many of your outfits, especially given how well your white sneakers are working on the casual side.

And tagging onto what Claudia said, I am duplicating my low heeled white pointy toe pumps. I wear those more than my gold pumps. I love white so, so, so much. White items add that crisp and modern factor to my outfits that I am constantly looking for.

I love them.... you've inspired me, I think metallic may be my new nude also!

celia

Veteran

They look stunning on you and work as a neutral perfectly. Love all the outfits.
The only thing I have to say is that wearing metallic shoes also depends on your how comfortable you feel with the shine because they will call attention.

Suz, seriously, if you want me to help getting you a pair, please let me know. I would love to help you.

Thank you for the billion thumbs up, Angie! I had a hunch you would like them.

Claudia and Angie, duplicating in white makes a lot of sense. I'm going to consider it very deeply. If the price were a little lower I wouldn't have hesitated at all.

My in-house stylist (DH) has approved these too, so now they're officially mine! His comment was the final push after all the yay's here, but frankly I think I made up my mind already in the store.

always trying

Veteran

Love them too. and so super with everything..love all your outfits too. I just found a pair of navy very similar style pumps tha tI love, but yours look so great with the navy and the black, I would trade as they are more versatile than the navy..but I found mine on a clearance rack, so no choice of colors,,,but the metallic is really a great choice..

Transcona Shannon

Just had to pop back in to say how glad I am that you are keeping these Ingunn

Had to check back too. Like Shannon, I am delighted you are keeping these. I am sure you will absolutely love them and wear them a lot.
