As much as I’ve been loving yellow this season, this particular shade is one I just can’t learn to love, possibly because I had a t-shirt in roughly this shade as a child, and I think it must have scarred me for life.
Mad props to Kate Spade then, for making this colour actually seem semi-palatable to me on these ‘Latrice’ pumps. Sure, the yellow, purple and pink combination is pretty unexpected, but it has that “made you look!” quality about it that I kinda like in a shoe, and it’s actually less jarring than I would have expected.
Now to the elephant in the room: the pointed toes. We’ve talked a lot about these over the past few months, as they’ve started to make their way back into fashion. I’m definitely feeling better disposed towards them than I was this time last year, purely because of the constant exposure, which makes them feel less dated, but I still have a ways to go before I’d be willing to slip into something quite this pointy. What do you think?
These are $298: click here to buy them at Kate Spade.
I liked the color and the style; if onlye they weren;t so pointy… so, it’s a no go for me right now.
I would’ve liked them a lot, even with the pointed toe, but I actually have problems with the heel. The proportions (heightwise) seem off to me, and I would’ve preferred either the same purple as the bow or a completely other colour family for the heel.
Love the colours! The shape’s pretty good too. I remember about a decade ago when there were these pointed shoes that reminded me either of medieval footwear, jester shoes or witch shoes. These are tastefully pointy.
I quite like the style and I have nothing against pointy toes, but that yellow leaves me cold.
