Fendi had me at "hello" with these suede pumps

If you had told me that spring would be fast approaching and I’d be seriously lusting after a pair of closed-toed grey suede pumps with black mesh, I’d have told you that you were crazy. My personal style sensibility tends to skew every so slightly goth, but even I am not immune to the charms of bright colors and sandals after spending entire week last month trapped in my house by ice.

Alas, the Fendi Mesh Platform Pumps don’t say “spring” in the least, but that doesn’t mean I love them any less. The combination of grey suede and black mesh trim is sexy in the most sophisticated of ways, and the curvature of the shoe’s opening, combined with the thin ankle strap, is retro without being costume-y. I’d wear these shoes in any season.

Ankle straps can be tricky to wear, but I’m willing to convince myself of my the (false) slenderness of my ankles in order to justify a spot for these shoes in my closet. They’re hot but still neutral, sexy but still classy and they’ve totally won my heart. Fendi’s shoes have been great over the past season or two, and this design is just the latest in a string of successes. Buy through Barneys for $785.

These are very unusual-looking, but I must say I am really liking the styling. However, I only envision them being worn with black, white, gray, and maybe yellow. But give me a sheer shoe any day and I’ll love it.

Had me at hello too but they do seem a bit off season. I wish they had come out in autumn..It seems a bit silly to buy closed toe grey suede shoes when colour blocking and summer is round the corner.

It is actually February, I think shoes like this can still have their time in the spotlight before Spring weather rolls around.

These are very stylish and classy shoes indeed. I would love to wear them.

I like everything but the ankle strap. This is a cool, interesting shoe.

Interesting design…but they’re saying “buh-bye” to me. Or actually, I’m saying that to them.
