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.

  • Christine

    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 was at Crown and Crumpet San Francisco having afternoon tea with a few friends. And this lady was wearing a casual mini dress and a ferragamo low heel vara (that looks like these), the look was super cute and lovely !!!! Love these kind of shoes !! they don’t scream old at all !!

    Would have no problem wearing these. I love them!

    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.
