    Would YOU buy khaki coloured shoes?

    I am asking myself this. I am not a shoe person, or much or a fashion person either (), so I am wondering if I would wear them. I saw a pair of khaki coloured wedges in an op shop today, which fit me really nicely, don't fall off when I walk, and are also quite comfortable.

    The main reason I didn't buy them today, is I'm unsure of what I could wear them with. (Again, ) What colours could I wear them with? I came home and had a look at my wardrobe (all my 'skinny' no-baby clothes), and saw a black and floral dress with a bit of green on it that I think they would go with. Um, oh yeah, a pair of long khaki shorts (3/4's?)? But what top could I wear, a black singlet or something? Could I go out on a fashion limb (and potentially hang myself) and wear them with a pink or red dress? Jeans and a top (black or pink or red) would go too?

    Urgh! I just have NO idea about fashion! Its taken me a long time to get past wearing just black, I have ventured to red (usually red AND black, but hey, its a colour!), pink, brown (apparently suits me, and I feel comfortable in it), and dresses! Would anyone suggest any accessories to go with them? Maybe a bracelet/bangle or necklace for my children to grab me with perhaps?

    Help me fashionable people, please!

    You mean shoes actually come in other colours other than black?

    I'm so not a good person to answer this - I have no fashion..

    Khaki goes great with red and black. I wear mostly red and black and have dark khaki/olive green converse which contrast nicely.

    I wear lots of green (just like my avvy!) and I would say khaki would go well with red/black/browns/whites. It's actually quite a versatile colour.... like grey. I'd say go for it, especially if they are comfortable. One thing I Don't do is suffer for fashion any more!

    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 !!
