Random thoughts.... stripper shoes.

howleyshell · July 2011

I've decided I'm officially old.

For my job I'm in and out of professional buildings a lot (usually medical).

I'm stunned at the number of women embracing the latest fashion fad of stripper shoes.

Either platform OR 4 inch heels I can handle but when you do both at the same time (and usually with a fairly short skirt) you look like a stripper.

Anyone love them and want to bash me as an old lady with no fashion sense?

I've got some cute platforms but they're a wedge heel so I'm not anti-platform - just anti-stripper.

Ok ladies... lemme have it.

I agree but did not realize that this was "in" and I'm young (it's almost my birthday and I'll be 28). I rarely wear heels to work, I guess I'm too lazy.

I hate them with the fire of a thousand suns. tacky tacky tacky. So I guess I'm an old lady right there with you!

I was trying to post a picture of my most risque shoes (not for work) but it's not working and I'm too tired to figure it out.

I think they look peculiar, except when I'm surfing Jimmy Choos and Christian Laboutin's online...

I once went to a wedding where the bride wore those shoes that the heels are see thru (KWIM?)... and a dress with a diamond cut out in the belly.

Klassy, esp since she was in her late 30s at the time.

I say if you're young and want to wear them to a bar (and look like a hooker) that's fine, but not in an office!

I feel/felt the same way with the knee high boots. Can be cute with a longer skirt but look cheap with short skirts. I guess most shoes look cheap with a short skirt though, these just don't help the cause.

I love my heels, but I'm more of a classic pump kind of girl. My favorite pair of shoes I own are a pair of black patent leather pumps with a round toe. They are wicked uncomfortable, but I feel like a million bucks in them. But the ones you're describing? Yeah, those are awful. That's one of those trends women will look back on in 20 years and think, "Why the hell did I wear that?"

The new girl in our main office wears short skirts and border-line stripper shoes everyday **shakes head** we are a male dominated industry just coming out of the ice ages in regard to gender roles and she - from more aspects than her attire - is not doing the rest of ladies any favors. Also, I cannot blame it on youth, she's about 35.

I forgot to mention that this main office is in Denver... maybe its a Denver thing? I go there often but don't go out anymore.
