I have it bookmarked in my Nordie's catalog to look into come spring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-502409 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 06:12:10 +0000 rae 502409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, yes these are the 80%20 Rinas. Angie said to order them and experiment, so I'm giving them a try. I can't tell which promo pictures are the most true to color, but I'm hoping that some are a little blown out due to lighting. I do where white and have several white blouses... we shall see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-502395 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 06:02:12 +0000 catgirl 502395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally behind the curve here - are those the 80%20 boots you posted before? Do you have any other light shoes? I find the bookending on my two lighter pairs of footwear really difficult. Since you wear white it may not be an issue for you. I'll have to join the inspiration search! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-502384 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 05:50:22 +0000 rae 502384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute, Vicki! I actually bought and returned a pair a lot like #2 last spring - couldn't make 'em work. But I like that they've styled them with bare, tanned legs here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-502320 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:19:13 +0000 Vicki 502320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I noticed these two pairs of white shoes that you might like in the most recent Nordstrom catalog that was just mailed. One are heels and the other are boots. If you need more details, just let me know as I've still got the book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501679 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:22:52 +0000 rae 501679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I like all of yours, but that KOS version is crazy awesome. The tights are killing me! Now, how to translate that into an office look... hm, I do have a bold white-on-black striped pencil skirt and a bold black-on-white striped button front. A little crazy, but it might work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501659 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:03:41 +0000 modgrl 501659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to bookend with something very light in the top part of your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501658 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 17:00:37 +0000 Jjsloane 501658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about that Rae, forgot to check that.

I don't feel that I get the best idea of how the outfit will look. I'll use the actual promo photos when I can, and if those are long gone, I'll use my WIWs. Going forward, if there is no promo photo, I'll snap a pic of the item on my body. </p> <p>LOL @ the flamingo ref... it's hard to find promo pics of hosiery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501611 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 16:04:03 +0000 Mo 501611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, kinda off topic, sorry -but, do you find uploading Closet Couture pics with you in your clothes works better than just laying them flat? Or is it better to lay the garment flat for the pic so you can layer them up for an outfit? I'm just feeling daunted at the thought of pulling out every article I have. I already have quite a few WIW pics with me in stuff, though. (and I'm cracking up at the flamingo one legged ones!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501579 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:41:14 +0000 rae 501579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Shipskitty, those are great, and also inspired me to do some polyvore-esque outfits on my Closet Couture account. Big fun! I only wish I had more of my work wardrobe uploaded there. </p> <p>Jeanne, those are super cool, but my size seems to be gone in every heel this brand makes with the fish scales. If the printed booties still don't work, though, I will have to stalk some fish shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501562 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:20:31 +0000 Angie 501562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your white teeth are another bookending tool, so keep up the dazzling smile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501490 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:58:23 +0000 shipskitty 501490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh...here are a few more actually featuring booties: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501489 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 11:51:29 +0000 shipskitty 501489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a few images...hope one of them might inspire you.

They might seem darker (or are they too close to the ones your DH didn't care for?)

And if I was reading closely, I would have seen that Aida suggested a white top as a solution, too. That man in pic #1, whose outfit is so popular, is even more tanned than I am. All it takes for him are the buttons on his shirt and that white hankerchief in his pocket. </p> <p>I am armed with pearls, white blouses, gingham blouses, bright silver chains, and a couple of light colored jackets. It should be an interesting experiment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501449 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:51:07 +0000 jayne 501449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>probably not the skin but the bookend. need something light on top since your hair and skin doesn't create the bookend? (I am just learning myself) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501394 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 05:17:17 +0000 rae 501394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm... now that I have it on my mind, maybe one has to be fair skinned for this to work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501320 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:51:09 +0000 Aida 501320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I almost always use both my skin AND a light top to help bookend the light boots (though an all dark outfit with white shoes is pretty awesome too, like Anna's). Your skin is definitely darker than mine but I think a light top + 1 light accessory (jewelry works) might be enough for you? Here are a few of my bone bootie outfits if that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501310 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:44:39 +0000 Amy 501310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I love those shoes in your second outfit!</p> <p>I want to know how someone walks in the white shoes I found at Barneys. </p> <p><a href="http://www.barneys.com/Night-Maker-Shoes/00505015003317,default,pd.html?utm_source=GAN&#038;utm_medium=Polyvore&#038;utm_campaign=Primary" rel="nofollow">http://www.barneys.com/Night-M.....gn=Primary</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501295 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:35:35 +0000 annagybe 501295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some of my outfits. The second one is technically a dove grey shoe, but a similar idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501290 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:28:22 +0000 rae 501290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pics and analysis, Aida! It does seem like a lot of these gals are bookending with their hair or face. I will have to make sure my white blouses are clean and ready to be styled. Looks like most of these attempt to lengthen the leg line in some way as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501256 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:55:04 +0000 Aida 501256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I mostly see white or really light shoes on people with really light hair or really light skin. I included a few that are with darker haired/skinned gals from my giant "I like these outfits!" inspiration folder If I get some free time to browse the web tonight I'll see if there's anything else I can find!</p> <p>I have a pair of bone white booties, dove gray pumps, and cream snakeskin kitten heels; the booties are the most challenging to style, though on me all three of these shoes function more like a nude than anything. I'm guessing it'll be a bit trickier for you to style with bare legs, but I bet under pants or with tights you could do some fun stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501243 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:40:09 +0000 Vicki 501243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White shoes have always been a difficult choice for me, but I do have some light-colored cream and taupe spectators that are fun. I am so much on the same page with Rachylou and love the style of the guy in #1 with his taupe jacket, gray pants and white bucks. That's the one I would copy, and don't forget to show your ankles like he does! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501157 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:48:14 +0000 Mo 501157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once had white leather pumps - but it was the early 90's. I can't really see them in modern outfits, but perhaps my mind goes right back to those post high school shoes automatically. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-want-to-help-with-white-shoe-inspiration#post-501156 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:47:49 +0000 rachylou 501156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to tell you, I really like photo #1. That man has style. </p>
