is it pretentious or cheesy to wear shoes or a purse with a large designer logo showing?

Depends on your opinion about these sorts of things......don't you have your own opinion on this? Or do you need to post on an anonymous forum and ask strangers what you should do? Seems like this post was just started to get a rise out of people.
Me, personally, I think the logo stuff is obnoxious - but I did not need to ask anyone what they think my opinion should be on the issue!

Wow! Why so harsh? She just asked a simple question! Someone so confident in their own opinions such as yourself sure made a point of making sure that was evident, and that others were not as secure as you! Her post did not "get a rise" out of me, but yours did. Ease up.

It's not as tacky as the incredibly mean responses on this website.

op here. no my post was not intended to get a rise out of anyone. i truly am curious and not sure what i think. i lied in my original post. i actually already bought the shoes and now that i have them i am wondering if the huge logo with the name on them is tacky. not a huge crisis here in the midst of things. its just that they came in the mail today. i ordered them online from neiman. thanks for the responses!

You know why I'm not impressed by logos-
Because I shop in Ross and Marshall's and know that you can buy logo-items for super-cheap! Trying to make the "high end" names accessible to all, I suppose!

OP - can you link a picture of the shoes so we can see them before responding?

It really depends - I think there are a ton of clothing and accesory items out there that are absolutely garish, but extremely popular. Some have logos, some don't. I personally am not a fan of logo items because many of them are down right ugly. But - I have seen some tasteful logo items out there, too. I'm sure the shoes are classy and as long as your outfit is tasteful, then the logo adds a nice touch.

I am also surprised by some of the mean comments. Why is it so wrong to ask for others' opinions? Isn't that what this website is all about?

When I went to the event at the "second-tier" private school for parents of accepted students, every single mom had a Coach bag and every dad had a blackberry. So I figure that if I want to apply to GDS in the future, I should save up for a LV bag and wear it casually yet prominently at the interview - it couldn't hurt!

I hardly call a logo item "low-class" considering some cost well over $500. I think some of the Coach and Tori Burch shoes are cute, but can't afford them. Some logo items are ugly, but then there are tons of non-logo items that are ugly too, especially almost anything by Juicy - who buys that crap besides uber-rich teenagers?

Ah, I dont think anyone at GDS is going to be impressed by an LV bag. Do you GET what kind of school GDS is? As a matter of fact, no decent private school is going to be impressed by anything you wear or carry so I am guessing you were being sarcastic/funny and I missed it.

p.s. lots of moms have blackberrys, too, like me!

Um, me? I'm wearing Juicy terrycloth pants right now . . .

Like so many other things, it depends on how you wear the stuff and how you carry yourself generally. A tastefully pulled together outfit won't be ruined by a logo bag or shoes, nor will a designer bag or shoes rescue a bad outfit.

juicy = majorly overpriced for what look like pajamas
