I had an easter basket as a kid with the same weave! Would be great to wear to a child’s playdate, but I don’t have any children.
Anon
This looks like something for the over-50 set.
michelle
I’m over 50 and I wouldn’t wear it
sam
i had the same thought.
Clerky
This is cute and fun. Not sure if I would wear it myself, I would definitely have to try it on first. I like it overall.
em
This would look frumpy and teacherly on my mom, let alone on me.
Lincoln
I am sure the over 70 crowd appreciates occassionally having items to chose from on this site.
El
This would be great for my Amazing Technicolor Estate Planning practice

While I see the appeal, it reminds me too much of those potholders I used to “weave” with loops on a plastic “loom” when I was a kid.
Anon
What a great walk down memory lane! I had one of those too!
ARinFL
OMG! I loved those!

As long as we’re looking at frumpy things, what do people think of this shoe? http://www.naturalizer.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC0218319&pg=3005582
I know, a little orthopedic looking, but they also look so comfortable, and I’ve had good luck with Naturalizer before. Can I get away with these, without looking too unstylish? On a casual day?
zee
I recommend their more refined-looking pumps – equally comfortable, minus some of the frump. That being said, if you wear them with pants people probably won’t notice.
JF
Oh, I do like them! But I admit, they are not the most sophisticated shoe. I would wear them under pants for days that I am not trying to impress anyone. I would also keep them for casual wear… hmm actually, I am thinking about buying them myself now lol. They do look mad comfy.
ARinFL
I’d go with something more like this: http://www.naturalizer.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC0218356&pg=3005597
zee
wearing these now, very comfy and true to size, fyi.
ARinFL
Thanks. I actually just bought them this morning (but I found them for $59). Would you consider them basic black pumps like you might wear for an interview? Or is the detailing a little too obvious for that?
Jane
I have these; they’re comfortable and look great.
EQ
Anyone have any thoughts on the gray version of this shoe?
Rachael
Love these. I have the gray version with black and teal accents, and I adore them. They actually give a great pop to a variety of outfits, and they are extremely comfortable given the height of the heel. The first day I wore them, I had to run – literally – to court, and they didn’t kill my feet at all.
JF
I just got them! Use coupon code NATLOVE to save 10%. Thank you for posting the link.
ARinFL
Thanks for the coupon! I like this style too: http://www.naturalizer.com/Shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?p=EC0219804&pg=3005932

This reminds me of the Golden Girls.

Nope. Not doing it for me.

Ladies who lunch… at the retirement community.
It needs more shape, less busy-ness.

HAHA! Well put.

No no no no no.
Lawgirl
Saw it, thought it was cute, but not enough to pull trigger.
LPC
Nooooooooooooo……….

YECH.
Anne Vohl
Very “housewife”. Looks like something from long ago. Not a good idea for office or boardroom.
s-k-s
Yikes!! Wouldn’t buy it for $10 on a clearance rack, let alone pay $180 for it.
The ribbon trim reminds me of my easter basket when I was a kid.

Black on Easter? No way… (PS No on any other day as well)

not a fan.

Wow, that sweater set is tragic. I’m pretty sure my grade school librarian wore something similar.

Ummmm….no!
