I'm sorry - I don't really like it. I think that CLs are best when kept simple and this shoe has a bit too much going on. However, I do think that it could look okay with a really simple dress. Also, I think that it would be difficult to dress down this shoe.

I dont have the Guizine but I think its a very feminine style. I love it in its other colours more. The ones I have see are teal\blue and violet. I really think the contrast of the patent and satin is quite unique ..

That is kinda what I was afraid of. Thank you!

hmmm looks quite unique, with sort of an oriental feel to it? it's more like an art piece to me. i wouldn't wear them on a daily basis but probably for really special occasions since they do have a distinctive look which i might get quite bored of after a while...

I love them. I tend to dress simply and so have more leeway with my accessories, so these would be great in my shoe collection. Personally, I see these with a black pencil skirt and a nice blouse or a camisole with a contrasting V neck cardigan (to dress it down a bit) with gold buttons to bring out the gold in the shoe. I might also do these with the black pencil skirt and a black, wide, shiny croc belt and a simple button-down or blouse. I'd probably also wear these with a simple sheath dress, with or without a cardigan. I might even do them with very straight, tailored, black Bermudas. All in all, I'd keep the silhouette lean and the skirt or Bermudas right around knee length, since the straps that wind up towards the back of the ankle won't be advisable for longer lengths, unless you have endless legs (which I don't :crybaby:). Admittedly, I'd probably save the shoes for a more finished look than my normal everyday dress.

CJY, do tell us if you'll pick them up! :yes:
