But although I'm usually very attuned to colour, I can't see a radical difference in colour. Enjoy them and I hope for the shoes' sake that summer comes soon, those shoes NEED to be worn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353095 Fri, 20 May 2011 15:21:53 +0000 Heather 353095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Magentas might be in my Amazon cart....only to be purchased on "accident" with a load of books.....;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353094 Fri, 20 May 2011 15:21:00 +0000 Heather 353094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. My apologies, Sara. I don't know why I thought this, but I thought you owned these wedges in the cognac color.

Check those beauties out. Don't you have the MRKT in cognac? I would go for the lighter of the two nudes, but ultimately whatever works best with your skin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353069 Fri, 20 May 2011 15:04:36 +0000 MNsara 353069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent thoughts, every one! This is exactly why I so appreciate your individual and collective wisdom :-)</p> <p>sarah - my closet colors are all over the board, but I love all things taupe<br /> kellygirl - You're right, the Desert IS better for early &amp; late wear!<br /> lynne - it's never too late ;-)<br /> rae - my pale legs actually do have quite a contrast with the Desert!! but not like a brown or black<br /> modgrl - I'm never tanned! Good to hear from real life that they're very light-toned</p> <p>. . . still open to more sage advice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353065 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:57:24 +0000 Angie 353065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's tit for tat. Both low contrast and will look fab on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353061 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:52:47 +0000 modgrl 353061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the "natural" one, they are very white/fair toned. They look good on my legs now, although they are ever so slightly lighter than my skintone, but I can see as the summer progresses and I get darker, they are not going to be as flattering. I'll probably be wearing them now through mid-July around here, after that they'll be too pale for me. So I guess it depends on your skin tone and how dark tanned you plan to be in the summer time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353058 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:49:07 +0000 rae 353058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah said exactly what I was thinking -- if the desert ones look good with your skin tone, then keep those. Either color will create a nice, long, low-contrast look for your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353054 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:38:33 +0000 Lynne 353054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't seen them IRL, but I ditto what Sarah said. Wouldn't it be too late to change them now, Sara? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353052 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:33:56 +0000 kellygirl 353052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're making me second guess myself, Sara! I have them in the Desert color--I think they tend more to the grey side where the Natural looks more pink. I was wondering the same thing when I ordered but decided the Desert color was more versatile because it would work through spring, summer and early fall. The "Natural" looks more summery to me--I have a pair of wedges that are close to that color and I only seem to wear them in the summer. Just my take. I think either would work for your coloring and palette. It's probably just a matter of personal preference. Does one of the colors fill a footwear gap?</p> <p>ETA: Hope Angie chimes in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353049 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:26:35 +0000 sarah 353049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like you should get the one that looks best with your skin tone, since either one is going to give you that neutral vibe. Do you tend to warmer (natural) or cooler (desert) skin tones? (Ah, but listen to me, as if I'm the big expert on neutral shoes now that I own exactly one pair! Hah! Take my advice with a grain of salt) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-et-al-dv-pali-in-desert-or-nude#post-353034 Fri, 20 May 2011 13:55:51 +0000 MNsara 353034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In March, I picked up the DV Pali in Desert, not knowing we'd have an eternal winter. I haven't even worn them yet. </p> <p>Now I wonder if the Natural would be 'better', more versatile, or something? Nordstrom's isn't carrying the Natural Certainly not a major decision, but I'd love any and all input :-)</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0043CJD7W/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&#038;m=ATVPDKIKX0DER" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....PDKIKX0DER</a></p> <p>(amazon's Desert is truer than piperlime's Desert, so maybe that's the case with Natural too?) </p>
