Coach shoes

These two gorgeous styles finally went on sale and I had to try both. The mules are actually new, in their fall rollout, and also come in black. They're listed as a 4" heel but feel like a 3.5" at most. Trust me, I cannot do a true 4" heel.

The black pumps have a gold sole, including lining the heel back in gold. They visually look huge, like a size 8, but fit reasonably snug. I'm a true 6M and took my true size in both.

I'm questioning the black. Does it look OTT? Does it look like Roger Vivier, or witchy poo?

I'd love your thoughts!

  1. Lol at witchy poo! I think the metal "buckles" are a little too large visually. I'm also not a huge fan of the thin block heel, but that probably makes them easier to walk in. Anyway, my vote is for return if you have any doubts.

  2. I really like a pointy toe and I like the heel, visually very pleasing. But in agrrement with Engineer L about the'buckles', somehow Cruella de Vil comes to mind.;-)
    Sorry about the typo's, my iPad en bloglovins interaction makes the text 'freeze', keep having to go back to correct and I was fed up with it just now

  3. Thank you for your votes, ladies! It's so sad bc the small heel is very comfy and I waited forever for these to go on sale. They've tried to make the buckle high quality, which makes it huge and heavy. Perhaps a belt would be better suited for those buckles. Ach, so sad! I love the mules though!

  4. Hi maqsad! I am in love with your new mules! They are just absolutely gorgeous, but am in agreement with the other ladies about the black pair. I do love the pointed toe, but if you have any doubts at all you should return them. :)

  5. The mules are beautiful, so if you decide to return the black shoes it's still 1 out of 2;-))

    OT doing another mother&daughter citytrip, this time to Chicago. Has been on my bucket list for ever, but somehow we never got closer than changing planes at O'Hare;-)) We'll be in Chicago from Oct 19th for a week. Wouldn't it be great to meet?

    1. Hi Fleur de Lys! So sorry about such a late reply! It would indeed be lovely to meet, though logistically very challenging. I am an hour north of the city. I generally have Fridays to work from home, so I might be able to skip away then, but this last month, I've had to go in on Fridays too. Although, I think I have Monday off on the 20th. Hmm! Perhaps you can email me at maqsadshops at gmail dot com with your thoughts? I'm excited to see if this might work out!

  6. Hi, emailed you, but it bounced back. Tried it again just now, because I thought I had maybe used the incomplete adress or something (was in abit of a hurry yesterday) but again it didn't work:-((
