Naughty Monkey came up with this precious line of pumps with chunky heels and in playful retro prints:

Naughty Monkey Sequin Bouquet in black, blue, and tan

Naughty Monkey T-Cup in green, yellow, blue, and pink

The whimsical floral prints on the Sequin Bouquets make them almost fit for a little girl, if not for the nearly 4″ heel.

The zigzag printed fabric on the T-Cups coupled with the curved stacked heel take you on a time warp right back to the 70s.

Now, some may argue that these shoes resemble old couches… :

… but that’s the whole point. Grandma chic has never been so in vogue as the present time, and these “couch-print” pumps fall right into that trend.

When done right, retro prints can look really classy and put together instead of being costume-y. In fact, Italian fashion house Missoni practically built their entire empire on these wild retro prints, combined with crazy patterns, colorful florals, and abstract geometric prints on a variety of fabrics:

Now, don’t the Naughty Monkey Sequin Bouquets and T-Cups look like they’d match the clothes at a Missoni fashion show instead of your grandmother’s couch?

The real Missoni pumps retail for at least 400 dollars. If you can afford it, then we’re not stopping you!

The Naughty Monkey pumps on the other hand, retail for just around 70 dollars.
