Hot or Not - Asymmetric shoes


Spotted, Miroslava Duma in asymmetrical different colour but contrasting pair of Burberry booties. The big fashionista and  ex-editor of Harper Bazzar Russia knows well how to rock this so different look, if each shoe perfectly suits her outfit, why not wear them both. Actually I have always liked this Burberry pair, and Mira just added a reason for me to like them more. I think if saw someone else sporting this look, I would have automatically hated it, as it will sound so crazy and weird. For example Hannah Bonham-Carter, success in reserving herself the" worst dressed" title by showing up with miss matched shoes to film festivals.
But when Mira- being the big fashion icon she is now- did it everyone went lusting over it, and  I guess this look will be an inspiration for some models and fashionistas at the coming fashion weeks.

I am curious to know what you guys think of this look, my opinion is that, it's trendy but never practical and definitely needs someone with the guts to pull out this look and roam confidently in the streets of Cairo.

However when it comes to daring and different things, I don't get the cold feet and I like to experience, believing that people will eventually understand ,and will even follow the trend. For example back in 2002 the idea of the UGGs boots was very new  the Cairo fashion scene, and rarely you could catch someone wearing them. I got myself an UGG like boots with Lilac colour, they were awesome really. One day I wore them to a class, my Dad was driving me that day,  he looked surprised when he saw me, and asked : " Are the Firemen boots trending right now? ", obviously he got confused with the rain boots. Entering the classroom, I asked my best friend what she thought of my new boots, she said:  "Delicious" in Arabic, a word that you only say to describe food. and at the break one of the mean girls that I used to befriend stood up there ,whispering to other girl about my boots, and even  one of my dear guy friends came hysterically laughing, saying: hehehe so funny shoes Is this Xmas yet, cause you stole Santa's shoes. I really didn't care as I was sure that they are the ones who were fashionably retarded not me.
After two years from this incident, UGGs really began to trend in Cairo, you could see more and more girls rocking them, and whenever I put on my Lilac ones, I swear I got stopped by random girls at Uni. or even in  the street asking me from where did I get them. as it's really was a very nice and different than the usual camel and sand colour. and of course all those girls I told you about got themselves ones, even that guy got his fiancee one as gift and called me to ask from where to get them. And nowadays UGGs and FUGGs " fake UGGs" are being abused by the Egyptian teenagers girls, I went to the mall last week and I noticed that 8 out of 10 girls were wearing them, but now I don't even think of getting out any of my UGGs from their storage boxes, not to mention wearing them.
I hope you got what I meant by that stupid story. Don't be afraid to try a new trend if you are really 100% sure about it and like it.
