This particular one is here:<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/catalog.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474395182208&#038;bmUID=1228795882762&#038;index=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/c.....38;index=1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-flat-oxfords-question#post-38449 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 03:28:36 +0000 Angie 38449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have the catalogue, Marianne (sad face). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-flat-oxfords-question#post-38371 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:12:12 +0000 marianne 38371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Patience! You're right about the type of oxfords. I am not ready to invest into a pair like that just for the sake of trying the 'look', but I'm going to dig out my old oxfords that are a lot like men's shoes and try them. They don't have spectator styling or any other detailing so it might not work. I agree about more streamlined oxfords with skirts - I would absolutely go for it if my ankles were more shapely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-flat-oxfords-question#post-38296 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 03:02:07 +0000 Patience 38296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, I had to go straight away and look at the catalog. (There's also another picture on page 22 with flat oxfords and socks.) So I think it's definitely a look. And I think you could pull it off because you are tall. Looking at those particular shoes, they seem to have a more prominent sole than some of the other styles I've seen. I also think that if you are going to do this look it really helps to go very fancy on the detailing of the shoe as the jcrew one is-- with all of the spectator seaming (that's what I'm going to call it). So, I do think there is something to a look that involves snazzy flat oxfords and ultra skinnies that hit at the ankle. I keep trying mine with jeans every now and then. I think my eye is adjusting a bit but my oxfords are very streamlined so I'm still preferring them with skirts and pants with pumps.</p> <p>Since this is a potential "look" I do think you have be risky about it. Hence the ultra skinny jeans and over styled oxfords. If you're conservative about it then it won't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-flat-oxfords-question#post-38263 Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:58:04 +0000 marianne 38263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There have been many discussions about flat oxfords lately. I personally like this type of shoe and used to wear them a lot in the past, and I am still interested in them. In the latest J Crew catalog, a model is wearing men's oxfords with skinny jeans (page 16-17, it's also online but I can't provide direct link). What do you think about this look? Would it be a yay or nay? </p>
