Just have to add:

There's a promo code for the Cole Haan Skylar Oxfords on Amazon dot com - enter SHOE2013 to get $50 off the grey oxfords. This makes these just barely within budget...and they have three pairs of the Argento Reflective in a size 6.5.

Details of promo offer are just below the product description:

Wow - you are all AMAZING! The sisterhood of YLF unites!

Angie - thanks for chiming in. I truly appreciate your opinion.

I'm going to post a "shoe summary" in a separate thread to make it a bit clearer and see what y'all think.

Thanks again everyone
