Re: Hot items for the summer - yay or nay

I love them both. especially now that I'm preggo, they are both so comfy. But I don't like the exaggerated looking gladiator sandals (the ones that go all the way up).

Dress is cute.

As far as the shoes, #6 is the only Yay for me...but thats just my taste. The others are a bit much.

I don't like Gladiator sandles, but I have to say #1 in the picture you posted in kinda hot.

The concept of maxi dresses annoy me a little. Its a long summer dress. It's not really anything new. It just has a new name (which is too closely related to feminine hygene, for me personally) & isn't really anything special.

I don't hate them on people or anything--they look comfy, and most aren't ugly. I wouldn't wear them, b/ I think it's just too much dress fdor me, but I have worn long summer dresses in the past.

not really a fan of either. the maxi dresses are pretty but i think they're a "hippy-ish".

I always hated gladiator sandals, but i do like the high heel ones- from what you posted, i think # 1 & 6 are hot.

I don't like most maxi dresses. They look OK on the models, but i can't see them looking that great on most people IRL. They don't seem too flattering to too many body types, and they remind me of a first cousin of the MooMoo.

Gladiator sandals - Not a fan unless they're the high heel ones and not the ones with a millions straps.

Maxi dress - Looks nice if you're thin and tall but not flattering on most people.

dresses are cute. I would have loved the gladiator shoes in the 1980s but I cannot get into them now.

Re: Hot items for the summer - yay or nay

im 50 50 on both

i dont know where either would fit into my wardrobe

i feel the maxi dress sort of looks like a moo moo

but i have never tried one on- since im not very tall i think it makes less of a statement and may be sort of cute

i can see the gladiators lookinhg cute with bermuda shorts or something
i dont know, i need to try both on

Love Shoe #6, but not the gladiator shoes in general. I have seen some that look super cute, but I feel like they only look good on really skinny legs (I couldn't pull em off!)

Love, love, love Maxi dresses! Totally my style Chat Icon

Gladiator sandals it depends, I don't like the ones above, but I have what I would call a more a gladiator inspired pair from old navy and I like those.

Re: Hot items for the summer - yay or nay

I am not into the gladiator sandals, however, I am kind of digging #6. The dress is cute, but I cant wear those becuase I am a midget, cant deal with anything making me look shorter. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Hot items for the summer - yay or nay

I HATE Gladiator sandals but I have to say-the ones I hate the MOST MOST MOST are the ones with the seperate "ring thingy" for your big toe! Like in #4 Chat Icon Chat Icon
SOOOO FUGLY!

It's like you are putting your big toe in solitary confinement from the other toes.
What did big toe ever do to you to be cast out like that?!?
