Would YOU buy khaki coloured shoes?

[Astrid]

ETA: Actually I've just looked down and see that i'm wearing khaki coloured shoes ATM!!!! LOL they are Crocs, my gardening shoes... and they look quite good with denim too... hehe... compared to what I usually hang out in at home anyway!

Snap!! Great minds Bath!

Gosh all this talk of khaki has me getting flash backs from the 80's. So sure I had a khaki outfit that has some red in it. I say go for the shoes if you really like them.

awesome , go get those shoes , Kahki can be worn many ways ... with red , black , white , denim , any thing with a bit of green in them really ...
if you get the shoes , have a look for something that matches , like a top of 3/4 pants then you know you can wear the shoes and have something that goes with it !!!!!

wedges are hot and i prefer them over heels anyday !! i have 4 pairs , in pink , black , bone and gold !!

I'm with SUSE ... yep, khaki goes fantastic with cherry red & black ... or even a nice medium grey & red

Khaki was a big fashion colour hit in the Summer of 1979/80 ... scary to think i can remember that far back & i remember shell belts looked great with khaki terry-towelling dresses (OMG, has that fabric ever come back again ... BUT geez it was darn comfortable) & the shoes were khaki too with a rope fabric look about the medium wedge heels ... maybe you could bring that fashion back ... I might add i was about 13 at the time, LOL !!

Khaki always makes me looked tanned ... I LOVE IT

If the shoes are comfy ... BUY EM

Hmm. Okay then. I'll buy 'em! If they are still there tomorrow when I go there after my mw apt in the morning!

To be honest, I wasn't expecting such an overwhelmingly positive response. Fashionally naive me...

Summer of '79/80 ai? I was only born in 1979, so forgive me if I don't remember that.... I will add these wedges DO have the rope look fabric around the heel.... Not that I can see that when I'm wearing them really.

NETIX ... LOL, 1979 bub, ... even more reason to go & buy em

(sorry i don't remember much about 1979 other than i was too busy 'just' noticing boys then at 13 )

I remember 1979 clearly... I was 9! And had a pair of white platform wedges with rope soles... I looooved those shoes... wore them to death.

I bought them! I finally made it back to the op shop (urgh- bad morning, don't ask!), and the first thing I picked up were the shoes. I then picked out a couple of tops which should match nicely, probably with jeans or black pants and laybyed them, as I thought I better not spend all my money at the opshop, especially when things are tight atm . One was a stretchy dark brown top (hey, if it doesn't match, I'll wear it with something else, its really nice anyway!), and the other was a see through long top (you know, its probably meant to be a dress!) from Supre, in army camo, which I think will look very nice with a long black top underneath (have just the one actually!).

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on fashion! I know where to ask next time too!
