Go for them! I've just bought some bright pink high heels with Swaroski crystals to wear to a wedding. Not really the sort of thing I usually wear, but I shall enjoy every minute of them!

Hope you enjoy yours! x

I think any "guilt" that you may feel is of nothing compared with either:
A) The pleasure you will get in three stages, namely:

1) The thrill of actually buying them
2) The thrill again of going to the wardrobe/cupboard/ bedroom floor to have just one more look at them.
3) Wearing them

Then of course you have to factor in:

How you might feel if you decide to buy them, but horror of horrors they aren't there any more!

You do go to look again, decide to buy them but discover they no longer have you size (a word of caution here, DO NOT be tempted into buying a size too small in the mistaken belief that they will stretch enough to be comfortable)

Oh Katek just buy them! I had a similar quandary years ago with a pair of high heeled strappy sandal type things, in emerald green snake skin with gold piping and gold leather lining. I think I wore them all of three times, but boy did I get some pleasure in getting them out of the wardrobe and just looking at them!

They sound lovely, buy them before they're gone. Nannas can definately wear cerise pink suede. smile

Yes!

Yes! Get them! I once bought a mad colourfully sequinned pair of ballet flats that 'went' with nothing. Still wore them. The DDs remember them with affection.

You lucky thing. I can't wear ballet flats because of a bally fallen arch!

They'll be fab....'ave 'em grin

Why not? What does it have to do with being a gran? Get them...wear them.

Oh go for it! grin
If they make you feel good why the heck not wear cerise pink footwear, I have a pair of wedge pumps the same colour and they cheer me up and make me smile. They actually go with loads of colours (grey, black, white, navy, green - think of bright pink flowers!)

Yes!!!! Yes!!!!! Yes!!!!!

......with a pair of totally inappropriate cerise pink suede ballet flats. They're gorgeous! I only have one or two outfits that they would go with and they're quite impractical and a bit pricey. Managed to walk away but still keep thinking about them. What to do?!? I'm coveting them! Should nannas wear cerise pink suede??
