Sensational Suede: Skull-Enhanced Alexander McQueen Suede Platform Pumps A Literal “No Brainer”
Alexander McQueen’s signature skull embellishment is a badge of pride for McQueeniacs and a source of derision among fashionistas who don’t see the point or aesthetic of adding a skull to an otherwise beautiful pair of suede platform pumps. But isn’t that what you’re all about, fashion wise? Aren’t you someone who enjoys being a bit of lightning rod for conversation (and perhaps other, more dangerous, things)?
If so, consider these vibrant blue suede pumps. They are decorated with gold-tone studs all along the bottom – a baroque adornment that recalls the classiest elements of burlesque.
Here are the specs for these Italian made pumps: they include a padded insole, leather lined insole, peep toe, and a self-covered heel that measures at 5.5 inches. (The covered platform is 1.25 inches, so these pumps really compare to a 4.25-inch heel.)
It’s difficult when writing about blue suede shoes (or pumps) to avoid referencing Elvis. And this review is purposely steering clear of The King because we have far more important things to talk about. Namely, the look these pumps will create for you.
When you wear something that screams “bonsai!” — like blue suede shoes with a skull to embellish — you need personality to match the gear. Indeed, if you are a wallflower, someone who goes along with the crowd, or someone who lacks self-confidence and assertiveness, these pumps could make you look awkward.
On the other hand, if you truly do – deep in your soul – feel ready to rock out, have fun, and get a little crazy, step on up to the platform and take your place. Click the green link to indulge!
