Yay or Nay Wednesday

yaynay64.jpgWell, I can happily say that last week's Yay or Nay was a resounding success, with two thirds of you voting that the twee little scottie dog could Stop at Go and Collect $200! Had the poor wee puppy been put in jail, it would have been a sad day indeed for Topshop's printed ballet pumps!

This week's shoes may be a little more controversial. In the dreaded bootie style (for some, at least) and with a different kind of bow detail than most - do these babies 'got back', or can they shake their tail feather all the way to fashion jail? Yay or Nay and why?

oh my... nay all the way! These are awful - I like the color, I really like contrasting detail on shoe, and I love bows - but this is a miss!

I like these in principle - the colour, the heel, the shape. But I tried on something in a similar shape in Topshop the other day and they just looked hideous on. Shame as they were so cute on the shelf. So it's got to obe a Nay from me for unwearability!

The heel is a disaster

Nay from me too. Lovely colour but i just don't get shoe boots.

I've been looking for a pair of line-dancing clogs! Er, no. Icky, icky, nay.

Nay. Frumpy, clumpy and, er...lumpy?

Love the heel and the toe. Bow thingie works, if they were courts I would have loved them, but as for now they just look completely wrong. Nay!

Mmmnnn...nice colour, but they look medieval. They're so chunky - NAY!!!

These booties are absolutely adorable. I personally love the cut, as they will most likely flatter any shape leg unlike the mid-calf booty. The teel-like suede is attractive and complimented by the pink detailing. I would wear them without a doubt, but strongly believe that they are suited more to an adventurous character rather than to the simple foot! WHERE CAN I GET A PAIR???????

Fine if you like the thick ankle look. A big yuck from me.

I like the shape of them and theyre actually very comfy and perfect with opaques and a micro mini. as for the color... i prefer the royal blue with plain diamante detailing that mr MJ did.
I agree with Erin, you have to have be ablento back up this bootie. Not for everybody I admit, but YAY from me.

I'm torn. They've got a lovely 40s vibe to them - great colour, texture and cheeky bow, and I can just see them paired with a Christian Dior "New Look"-style swing coat and thick tights as you hustle through the blackout to a smoky bar - but as previous commenters have suggested, would they really work on the foot? and given that I'm not a 40s broad, with the rest of my wardrobe?

Despite all that, on balance, it's a YAY.

I have these except mine are Marc Jacobs.. they look a lot different than these... are these Marc Jacobs?? My heel is different and the colors are different. Mine are in a Royal Blue with Black detailing. They look A LOT better in real life.. very cute with skinny jeans believe it or not. :)
