These are not my favorite. I say if you're not thrilled pass on them and keep looking since there are lots of options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180731 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:22:26 +0000 Mellllls 180731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hm, i agree that whether they work will depend on how you style them. i don't see them working with walkshorts as you suggested but maybe under bootcut jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180726 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:18:52 +0000 Lisa 180726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, a spin on a ballet flat. Maybe get that style in a brighter color to tone down any potential dowdy-ness? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180480 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:40:04 +0000 lynne 180480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a sucker for lace up oxfords. I'd wear 'em with skinny jeans though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180475 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:59:05 +0000 Isabel 180475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree that it is in the execution. It's like the Chanel-like jackets that Angie just wrote about : they can look really matronly or supercool. There seems to be no in-between.</p> <p>For some reason, I picture Medusa in these and she ALWAYS looks cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180468 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 14:28:58 +0000 Carole 180468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they could look fab and stylish or old ladyish depending on what else you wear, if the rest of your outfit is hip and fun then they will look fab and stylish too! comfy too, and that can't be bad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180440 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 13:24:01 +0000 Louise 180440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will totally depend on how you style them. I think if paired with an A line skirt and blouse there will be an old lady vibe but something like skinnies and moto jacket could be a winner x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180439 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 12:28:08 +0000 elpgal 180439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, Far from it I would be exaggerating if I claimed I had much style at all. </p> <p>I was hoping to wear them with walk shorts/tights sans socks to meet the closed shoe requirement at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180430 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 11:11:30 +0000 April 180430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first glance, given their color and shape, these do resemble the crepe-soled taupe oxfords that I see on every third old lady around here (see <a href="http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_10151_10104_035B016844300001P?vName=Shoes&#038;cName=Womens&#038;sName=View+All&#038;prdNo=16&#038;blockNo=16&#038;blockType=G16" rel="nofollow">http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/p_1.....ckType=G16</a> ). I think you would have to be sure any outfit worn with them was ultra-fab in a hip, edgy way, since "classic" paired with these would run the risk of looking dowdy.</p> <p>EG, remind me if hip and edgy is your usual style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180422 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:32:19 +0000 crwilson 180422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As most others mentioned, I think it will depend on how you style them. As for the item itself, they're just not my favorite. I don't love lace-up oxfords to begin with, and these do seem a bit old-ladyish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180420 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:20:24 +0000 Katiepea 180420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel compelled to be honest here and say that this colour in combination with this particular style is just not doing it for me. </p> <p>That said, IF you have the wardrobe where these shoes COULD slot in easily and add a cool retro/vintage edge, they could be worth it. If you have a more conservative style of dress, I say pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180379 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 05:07:38 +0000 Scarlet 180379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this kind of shoe in general, but this one in particular veers a little too much into old lady territory. Something about the vamp or sole. I say keep looking for something similar. Or try it on--maybe I am wrong. Sometimes it's hard to tell from the shoe alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180377 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 05:04:28 +0000 Angie 180377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all in the execution. Could be fab :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180373 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:37:23 +0000 wilson 180373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Additional: The Navajo Cognac seems to look more current to me. I could just be that its the color I've been seeing the fashion-forward gals wearing so my eye is more accustomed to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180372 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:34:07 +0000 wilson 180372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been seeing more and more of this exact kind of shoe lately and styled right I think it looks great, kind of 1940's sporty. I am presently keeping my eye out for a pair at the thrift stores to expirement with the look. What were you thinking of wearing them with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180364 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:55:58 +0000 puffenstuff 180364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are supposed to be the "new" ballet flats. To me they have a school shoe kinda vibe about them, if you're not that attached to them I would say not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180355 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:32:47 +0000 taylor 180355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter just picked out a pair of shoes quite similar...she will be 25 More oxford like, but very close...those could be hip and fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180344 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:09:44 +0000 Kate 180344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>my first impression is too old lady. sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-or-not#post-180343 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:06:16 +0000 elpgal 180343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Old ladyish or passable? I am not particularly attached to them, so honest opinions please I picked them because they come in wide widths.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/bass-chrissie-nickel-goat-tumbled-softy" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bass-chr.....bled-softy</a> </p>
