Jacques2 Double Buckle Shoes

Have you ever bought something only to see a look of 'what the devil are they' on your boyfriends face? It's rare that Craig ever has a bad word to say about my clothing choices (who'd of thought it?) but these shoes easily took the biscuit. At first I felt offended but after consulting many friends and my mum I took a yes you're staying stand and had an even bigger vote that it's normal for the opposite sex to not always enjoy our fashion purchases. 

 I'll be completely honest, I had a similar reaction to the boyf when the personal shopper in Leeds showed these to me but I still thought I'd give them a whirl - partly for fear of upsetting anyone and partially for a laugh. As soon as I looked in the mirror with these buckle babes on I knew I'd have to devour a slice of humble pie, and fast. I love how these shoes take a look from girly to tough in under thirty seconds, all while adding a little bit of height to proceedings and being incredibly comfy to boot (see what I did there?) I can't wait to style these up with skinny jeans and a pretty flowy top or with a pencil skirt, frilly ankle socks and a sloppy sweater. 

 Let's be frank, I'll always be that gal who dresses for myself and for other women. I'd much rather a fellow female say they love my get up than be wolf whistled at by a random man. Am I right?

 Do you find yourself drawn to man repellers? How do you react to fashion negativity?
