are these cute? (12th street shoes)

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

I LOVE 12th st shoes. They are usually moderatly comfortable, and the quality is excellent.

I think they are adorable ...

shopgirl82 · Chanel

based on the other ones that you've posted/shown interest in lately, i'm not a fan.

hth. but that being said, i've had good luck with 12th street shoes.

i'm curious- how so?

the reason i'm posting these is because i have not a single pair of dressy heels to wear... =(

creates some problems when i have to dress up. and i hate most dressy shoes that i see, for one reason or another. i'm open to suggestions though! i like: simplicity, nothing too "on trend", thick heels, and expensive looking

erin · Chanel

they're cute, but i'd be worried they aren't dressy enough to be "dressy heels."

lynnie · Chanel

well, i dont need super dressy- something that i can wear w/nicer things to magazine parties and such. I would like something for this dress, for example:

other shoes may be better- but i guess i'm thinking about what would go w/the most?? i dunno- they are $80 from $300- thats probably why i'm so into them, though i liked them at full price.

Karina · Chanel

i like them, but not for that dress.

kmd · Kate Spade

I think they are so cool! You could wear them so many different ways. If that dress was another color, I think they'd work well, otherwise- I think you can do better for that dress.

Agreed. I think they're quite cute but not terribly versatile for this season, which it sounds like is at least part of what you're going for.

I'm not a fan of those shoes. I also don't think they meet your criteria of "expensive looking" - at least, not in that pic. They may look better IRL. And I agree that I wouldn't put those with that dress. Sorry!

ITA. I am also unable to get past the heel. That is really killing he look of the shoe for me. They are way to chunky to be dressy IMO. HTH!!

Kitty · Hermes

The heel is throwing me too - partially because of the wood look. It doesn't seem very dressy to me.

kmd · Kate Spade

Back with some suggestions.

theotherjess · Chanel

Lone dissenter, I like them and I think they are very you. I don't really see them with that dress but I think you could make them work.

lynnie · Chanel

yea i dunno- if they look good in person, and are comfy, i'd like them. but $80 from $300 makes me question that...although, free shipping, so nothing to lose.

i like these posted:

i'm trying to stay away from black though...

and i also really like the bronx shoes alliegurl got! ahhh!

sydney · Kate Spade

I gotta agree with the girls - I don't love those shoes. The chunky heel and overall look makes me think daytime wear. Maybe go silver peeptoe if you are trying to stay away from black.
