Primark maxi dress and t-shirt, H&M ring, Faith shoes
These shoes posed a particular challenge for the Take 10 ladies – how does one style leopard print horsehair peep toe slingback wedges with 6in grey leather heels? Not easily, let me tell you. All that detail meant only a simple outfit would do, so I went for a grey jersey maxi dress with a coral t-shirt layered over the top.
Apparently I’m a glutton for punishment and teamed an impossible-to-walk-in maxi dress with impossible-to-walk-in shoes. I had to be helped down the steps and into the garden. Here’s how the other girls worked them…
Paula, Harriet, Susie, Sabine, Sarah, me, Vicki, Ellie, MJ, Sherin
Another Take 10 challenge, done! Think you could walk in these shoes?
I wear heels most days but think I would struggle with these! Love how they look peeping out from under the maxi skirt. x
Oooh you do look a little bit precariously balanced there. I think you’re wearing them well but I feel, if you let your dress down, you’d be hiding these shoes for the large part… but they deserve to be shown off, be the statement of an outfit. So maybe with jeans? Hats off for being able to stand in them though x
They look amazing! x
As much a I love a great wedge shoe I do admit that sometimes I do struggle a bit, especially with stairs lol! An interesting print on the shoes though and love your honest review of them.
You’re looking lovely and those shoes are amazing! x
heehee, hilarious. these shoes and your description!
your outfit is my fav jen! love the taupe maxi dress!! 🙂 x
Wow these are awesome, kinda feel like I should hate them but I totally don’t… 🙂
I’m pretty sure I couldn’t walk in those.. I don’t know anyone who could!

I really doubt I would walk in those shoes, they look so high! And I’m crap at walking in heels usually anyway.
You’ve styled them well, especially considering just how difficult they must be to style! xx

I am so amused by how many of us had to get willing boyfriends to help us even walk in these! The things we do for fashion!
think i like yours best, simple & chic – let the shoes do all the talking. x
Oh dear, these didn’t seem popular! They’re not my taste, though – just too much going on. I love how you’ve styled them though… I just maybe would have gone for different shoes, ha! That skirt is gorge.
i adore your maxi dress and t-shirt, the colours look great together. you look lovely 🙂
i’m not keen on the shoes, but you styled them wonderfully.
xx
I love the colour combo! Really difficult shoes to wear but you really pull it off!

I definitely couldn’t walk in them. I love the grey maxi you paired them with though. Perfect and it means that you can’t see the shoes either 🙂
The shoes are a bit too much for my taste but the grey dress is sort off helping them work…as the layered t-shirt, I think it adds a few extra pounds…maybe a more fitted shirt?
You have styled them really nicely, I think the wedges look great with your maxi dress! 🙂

Your outfit is great! Simple and sophisticated, the colours are nice and it was a great idea to wear it with these shoes 🙂
I would be delighted if you tell me what you think of my last outfit: http://goldielondon.blogspot.com/2011/08/gracing-rooftops-penny-shorts.html

Love what you did with them. So glad to see the back of them! xx
Did anyone like these shoes?! They’re definitely not my cup of tea but I do very much like your layering with the tshirt over that gorgeous dress.
Love what you did with them 🙂 xx
I love wedges but these are a little too much. Great challenge but it’s such a shame that no one seemed particularly keen on them ( or able to even walk in them). Love the outfit though Jen.
Wow, they are fabulous- I’d probably be too afraid to try and walk in them though!
I think you were right to team them with a plain coloured outfit- the dress and top combo looks fab on you.

Wow I love those shoes, I sometimes see beautiful pieces like those but would never know what to put them with. until now… : D
I just started my own blog in the last few day ( http://bettertogetherbazil.blogspot.com ) and would love for you to have a look sometime : D x
Gosh I could NOT walk in them at all, no, haha. I love the shape of the heels on them but think they are a bit too much for me. Do love a bit of leopard print though.
obsessed with your shoes!
Tricky to style yes, but they are some darn cool shoes!
haha that is a glutton for punishment but the shoes are fabulous!
