Miu Miu Sequined Leather Pumps Could you pull off this Miu Miu low heel?Miu Miu Sequined Leather Pumps, $890 via Net-a-Porter

I’m a huge Miu Miu fangirl, as you all know, and I’m always prepared to slobber all over whatever new Miu Miu might land on the Net-a-Porter new arrivals page. And don’t get me wrong, I do really, really like the Miu Miu Sequined Leather Pumps. I like that they’re a little bit like the disco version of Dorothy’s ruby slippers. I like that the sequins are a departure from Miu Miu’s normal glitter shenanigans. But…this heel height. THIS HEEL HEIGHT. It’s giving me anxiety.

It’s too high to be one of those demi-heels that doubles as a flat, but it’s too low to be an honest-to-god chunky statement heel. It looks kind of like a kid’s shoe, which I’m sure is part of the point of choosing that heel height, but I feel like it’s exceptionally difficult to pull off that kind of look in real life. Unless, ya know, you’re Zoey Deschanel and you also have a closet full of impeccably tailored, perfect vintage dresses with which to pair it. This shoe also requires you to have blunt-cut bangs. Don’t ask me why, those are just the rules. If you can abide by them, these pumps are $890 via Net-a-Porter.

    There is nothing modern about these shoes, not even retro-modern. Two thumbs down.

    I LOVE them. It looks exactly like a shoes that I would buy heel and all. But, I love things that have a vintage fell to them. The sparkle puts it over-the-top.

    The heel looks 60s. So the outfit should be obviously 60s inspired, not too literal, of course. Yes, I would pull it off.

    I also *love* MIu Miu, but yuck. I really dislike heels like this. It may not be my ancient 5th grade teacher’s shoe, but it’s certainly my ancient 5th grade teacher’s heel. Not a fan.

    I do have blunt cut bangs, and I would go a pretty literal route with striped tights or a swingy skirt, so heck yeah I’d wear these.
