I received these SM Pawla Pumps in the mail yesterday...
...and DH hated them, he says they're too over the top, flashy, and in his words "hoochie". Normally I ignore his fashion opinion and when he sees the complete look, just shrugs and says "Cute", what does he know right?...but although I think they're really cute, I was kind of going for a vintage red peeptoe look, sorta like Erin's vintage pair she's ebaying, but an inch taller.
Should I keep the Pawla pair above or ebay them and get these SM Anettes instead? The only reason I didn't get them in the 1st place is because the red looks too bright and I liked the deep red shade from the patent pair.
I really like the pawlas, and even before I read what you wrote and just looked at the picture, I thought that they looked vintagey and kind of pinup-y (not in a skanky way! in a sexy way)
Keep them! The other ones wouldn't do you justice

I actually like #2 a lot better - I want them for myself. I'm not a fan of red patent leather though, so my vote is #2.
Yup, neither am I, but I thought I would give them a try. What also worries me is that the patent is a BIG trend right now and big trends usually blow out as quick as they flare up, KWIM? The 2nd pair seems more timeless. I'm so undecided, I don't know what I'm going to do yet.

ITA w/you - and that's why I think you should get #2. You can get more use out of them, even wear them next summer. I don't know if I could say the same about the red patent. Let us know what you decide!

im going to have to say ebay the pawlas and buy the anettes. im not a big fan of the platform heel. though i do agree with mandy and kitty that the color of the pawlas are much better and fun.
