Well, I am sure you could make them work with the right outfit, but I have a personal problem with these shoes, especially the pinkish ones--that is almost the same exact pattern as my sofa, which I really hate. So while I am nowhere near giving an objective opinion, I thought you might like to know that these shoes are patterned after my sofa. So sorry!
I'm probably going to be the minority but I kinda shoes like these. I think the colors are a little bland on this particular shoe but i've seen really cute ones(i search for them and post later). I was going to buy a blazer that was similar but my friend wouldn't let me get it because she said it looked like her mom's curtains.
I really do think they are great...just what to wear to make tweed go from bland to fab. They'll be great in the fall and I think they have that *warmish* look to them for winter shoes.
