I've fallen in love......

Yes, link please.
Slightly off thread but I do my toenails in green or blue and people often say they look nice. I'm not an arty farty type, but love colour and see no reason why I should abstain from anything that appeals to me. Within reasonable reason. I would never wear things that are essentially for the young. Mutton and lamb etc.

I bought a pair of turquoise suede cowboy boots. I love them. I went out and bought a jumper to match and then a handbag. And I wear them in public as well.

Go for your pink pumps, a pretty scarf and a charity shop handbag to match, enjoy.

Yes katek yes and can we have a link I think I would like some too!

Kateyk of course you buy them! You wear them on every possible occassion even when they don't go with the outfit and especially when you are with anyone who would think grans shouldn't wear pink suede shoes!

Katek, those shoes sound gorgeous. I wouldn't even hesitate. I'm 75 in September and most of my shoes are ballet pumps. Tbh I never even thought of them as being inappropriate. They seem to suit me though probably not good for my dodgy knees. I'm not a typical 70+ year old, and a bit mad, so that probably helps. I keep thinking about pink cerise, and now I want a pair ! I often wear with leggings and a long-enough top.
Hope you've actually got them by now. There is a high street shop, presume I can't mention it, but its name implies a comparative degree of heat. I took one look in there and beat a hasty retreat. I'd need to be old to be seen alive in that stuff ! Enjoy the lovely pink cerise pumps.

YES buy them. I will be 66 this year and last year I bought a pair of tight fitting black knee high suede boots with a heel. I wear them with opaque tights and a skirt above the knee sometimes (hussey). I think we can be too sensible at times as we get older. I went with DH earlier in the year to buy a new three piece suite. We always have a dark sensible one so that it doesn't show marks. In the shop we spotted a cream leather one and it was gorgeous. We ummed and aahed but eventually we decided to go for it and it's here and its beautiful

KateK

Unless you have 'flippers' instead of feet how can a pair of cerise ballet flat shoes be inappropriate. (you don't do you?)

Buy and enjoy .. Buy more outfits to go with them too. .

Happy shopping.

Yes, go for it !

It's funny how some things in your wardrobe just cheer you up.

I have got a pair that sound exactly the same katek

They were half price and they just called out to me and I had to have them. I very rarely buy anything like this on impulse but there was something about them that lifted my mood. I never try and match them up to any outfit but they do "go" fabulously well with skinny jeans (actually any jeans), cargo trousers and navy chinos.

So go for it katek you will feel like a new woman.

You won't regret it Katek, I recently bought some black ballet flats with tiny beads and every time I wear them I think how fab they look.

I also hesitated buying them, the price and because they are not the most practical shoes. I am so glad I did now.

kate I have a pair of silver Converse

Slightly off topic, or maybe not am I the only one who one fine day looks at a "had to have it" purchase that I've been happily wearing and think "What the hell were you thinking?" and then never wear it again. Or, I take something off the rack only to realise in the fitting room, that my mind's eye saw the 23 year old me in it...

Katek I agonised for ages as to whether to buy a pair of bright red patent Doc Martins. I finally gave in and bought them and have never once regretted it. Buy them and enjoy!

lol @ downtoearth

KateK - get 'em, they are calling your name, life is too short not to do without them.

Yes, yes, yes. They sound fabulous and you'll love wearing them.

I am convinced!! Back in town on Friday and then the shoes will be mine, all mine!! Have realised that I already have a scarf that will match them perfectly. Perhaps might need a couple of tops......hmm....

Of course you should get those shoes Katek Life is short!

Yes, buy them if you really want them. imagine yourself wearing them, and if you still want them, go ahead.Think Pink.

Buy them!

I have some flat suede loafer-y things from Moshulu and I wear them lots - they are comfy and a fabulous joy to wear!!

I have a pair of cerise suede flats with bow. Love love love them. They go with everything. Picked up a nice big lawn type fabric scarf in the same colour to coordinate the shoes.
Wear them with pride and love !!

I want some!!!
It's best if things don't go together. The matchy-matchy look is so last-century
Go Katek

And I am the most sensible person on the earth, I just like encouraging people to do unsensible things. I never did and boy do I regret it.

yes get them ....have cerise pink leather flats....go with nothing..

had to check to make sure it didn't mention black plimsoles,school shoes,ugg boots or shoe zone..

Think of all the outfits you can justify buying just to get "the wear out of them".

I agree with everyone else - buy them, wear them and enjoy them.

I bet you find all sorts of outfits they will go with. I love bright colours and wear them as often as possible. Colour is life enhancing.
