Will I ever wear these??? ETA what I bought (in comments)

Helena

In my fruitless hunt for leopard pumps (I legitimately could use a neutral pump) I stumbled on these .... They're SO pretty .... But will they just be closet decoration? What say you fabbers?!? Why o why do they not come in animal print!!

They look like something I could imagine you in. Are they comfortable? Also, how well does the color go with the rest of your wardrobe? I think they'd look great with navy!

Definitely not for closet decoration , wear them, trendy color and gorgeous shoes.

I agree that animal print pumps would be more versatile. However those may work well too. I think you need to have an outfit creation session with these babies to decide if they work for you...of course if they are comfortable (my feet hurt just from looking at those high heels an pointed toes )

Oh they are beautiful but I cannot answer your question. Sorry. I find it so difficult to guess in advance whether a shoe will be a winner or not. But I ask you permission to steal the expression "closet decoration". haha! Funny, and very well said.

Suede is usually a cold weather leather for me but because of the color these look very spring/summer.

It might be a challenge to pair them with only solid colors but I think you could wear them with anything floral and many prints. The aqua might be even easier to wear but I would still picture them more easily with florals and prints than solids.

They are a beauty to behold and would work in that color or aqua in my wardrobe....... how would they work in yours?
I may not have a popular response but I purchased a great animal print belt and scarf while looking for a great shoe...... what I found out- I did not necessarily like the look on me. Saved me from purchasing shoes.
Bought red shoes, purse, scarf and belt instead- I have never regretted leaving animal print behind.
If they will get use- go for it because they are lovely.

Would these be used instead of the leopard print pump?
I feel like these would make completely different outfits. The leopard print is a neutral but these are not.

Don’t get me wrong though: gorgeous colour and Nice pointy toe!

Well ladies, my shopping trip (which frankly was supposed to be for leggings for my daughter) went completely off the rails ... Here was my final decision ... I did go with lilac at least lol!!! My moniker is CASUAL polished classic after all haha!!
Thanks everyone for your wonderful input though ... I'll keep my eye out for pumps in the meantime!

I like what you ended up with, even though the others are pretty. These will see more use.

Lilac to the win - in any shape and form! Wise decision and these can do the double duty as wearable shoes AND closet decoration as well

I think the sneakers are a smarter buy than the heels. I really like them!

That colour is lovely. Definitely wouldn't be closet decoration for me.

Those lilac sneakers are great :). FWIW I have some leopard ballet flats and I hardly ever wear them lol. I thought they’d be so versatile but they’re just not really my cup of tea....

Lilac Chucks are fab. You need leopard pumps!

The lilac converses are such a good compromise, super comfortable. I love the look of the lilac pumps - but light coloured suede can be tricky to keep clean. I have some lilac heels and love how they can be worn with blue, black etc - much more versatile than I initially thought. Now I have a lilac bag, it makes them even easier to style.

Thanks everyone! I think the trendy color for me works better on a fun sneaker. Leopard pumps are on my list though!!

I like both! The sneakers will definitely get more wear and were the smart choice though. I also have leopard pumps on my list, I'm a leopard print girl.

Too funny but it is you- no doubt. You may have felt you went off the rails but you did it perfectly. Well played TG

Great choice. Chucks go well with jeans.

I love this thread... I can identify with going off the rails for sure! (I went out for spring popover shirts and blouses yesterday and came home with a leopard-print skirt with a rainbow waistband)
