Shoe Porn Challenge!--Wicked Wednesday 5/5/2010


I thought I would do something a bit different with this weeks shoe porn installment. First I selected a shoe that differs greatly from my previous selections and secondly I want to ask you the readers how you would wear it.
I have selected a recently purchased brogue(or oxford if you prefer) shoe from H&M. I love this shoe and I absolutely think that although its a canvas flat it qualifies as shoe pron. It's different, it's bold, it's sparkly and hey if worn in a certain way can be sexy.



Now as much as I love this shoe I quickly realized that I could only think of 1 outfit to wear it with and that was skinny jeans and a tee. Now I'll be honest I own many many many many many things that I have only worn once but times are tough and I am attempting to get more bang for my buck and would love to use this shoe more than once. It's simply too cute to be a wear once and toss aside item. Also I think that it has more than one way in which it can be used I just cannot think of any. Which is where you come in lovely readers, I want you to tell me how you would wear this shoe. What outfit of your own it works with is OK, or simply a recommendation like what type of clothing you think would work. Details are important, I do not need to know the makers of any items but style, cut and color are crucial. I am a very visual person so I am asking you to paint me a picture, or if you want to link to pictures that good as well.
There is an awesome website that I frequent called Polyvore.com. Polyvore allows users to create wardrobe collages with the millions of photos of clothes, shoes, accessories and backgrounds that have collected. It a great way to virtual "window shop", below is one of my recent polyvore set's. Please feel free to send me a polyvore if you would like, but it's not necessary.

Now I'm not going to ask you to do work without a reward, so the poster of the suggestion I select (hoping that I actually get at least 1 if not more) will be a guest blogger on a future Wicked Wednesday. You can select and write up a shoe porn selection and describe which type of partner the shoe represents.

EDITED TO ADD:
If you are going to use polyvore you do need to include the shoes in the set. Unfortunately a photo of the shoes is not available on H&M online and it takes great difficulty to add a non online store photos to a set.

  2. Well I've just spent an hour on this - its been futile- there are no internet pics either on polyvore or the internet of these exact shoes - first I checked H&m's site. So when I have another hour to dedicate I'll go to polyvore and make the pic with a different pair of white brogues that they have. Or wait till I can use my tablet to capture your pic and cut out your background with a picture editing program like photoshop. argh! i really wanted to do this this morninG! It would have been awesome if you had a linked to a pic of these that we could have imported into Polyvore - Hey Rina - how did you do it????

  4. Hi Thank you both for participating!!
    I should have stated that including the shoes in the set was not necessary, sorry about that. The H&M website is ridiculously difficult to find any given item on so I knew that a pic of the shoe wouldn't be available online, major fail on my part:(

  6. So when I think brogues I think this kind of style. Not sure how the studded brogues would work but i don't see why not either. LOL.
