I did some browsing at Nordstroms and found these... Which look more weather appropriate for spring in the south! </p> <p>I'm a sucker for a kiltie!<br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/jeffrey-campbell-kelley-oxford/3148637" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/je.....rd/3148637</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205633 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 13:25:08 +0000 VernieJane 1205633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with some of the other comments--these shoes look like they could work with just about anything! They could dress up a pair of shorts or casual summer dress, they go with long pants, capris, chinos and even floral dresses and full dresses which are big this season. I think you've made a good purchase and a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205606 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 13:02:53 +0000 Anonymous 1205606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they are comfortable, they sound like winners for you. These look refined and the texture and lines will keep them from looking big on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205593 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:40:04 +0000 chadya 1205593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>to the OP Just be careful JCrew sale items are often Final Sale, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205456 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 05:07:14 +0000 Golden 1205456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get them and try them out with some outfits. You can always return them if you change your mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205285 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 02:17:10 +0000 Von 1205285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input everyone!&nbsp; I was out with an impatient coworker today and wasn't able to try them on, so I'm not sure if they would have <i>really</i> looked like boats.&nbsp; I usually don't wear shoes that I imagine to elongate my feet, and it's probably a personal quirk.</p> <p>I think I may get them and see how they work out with crops and skirts. I think once they are broken in, they could be great.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205129 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:24:48 +0000 Sarah A 1205129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cap toe detailing really breaks up the length. Love my oxfords so of course I think everyone needs some right </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205103 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 22:45:20 +0000 DonnaF 1205103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never noticed the size of your feet, just the long length of your legs!&nbsp; Are these final sale, or are they returnable?&nbsp; I would get them and see how they go with your stuff.&nbsp; I don't see how a *nude for you* can make feet look big, although I can see how a white or neon shoes can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205049 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 21:42:27 +0000 Suz 1205049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think they look terrific and "nude to you" is a huge bonus. Also, they happen to go with some of your amazing bags. (I still drool over your bag collection.) So I think trying them on with a bunch of your stuff will be key. Show us and we will let you know the truth! &nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205039 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 21:23:17 +0000 JAileen 1205039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about boat like feet. These shoes with the wingtip detail break up the long expanse of foot. I have big feet too and am simply not willing to wear shoes that make them look big. I recently got a pair of wingtip oxfords that I love. I'm planning on wearing them with my new bfs. It's still a little cool for bare legs, so I wore them last night with bootcut jeans.</p> <p>Anyway, you should get them and try styling them at home. You may end up loving them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1205018 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 21:03:53 +0000 deb 1205018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see these working with jeans&nbsp; or even a skirt or dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1204995 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:44:25 +0000 viva 1204995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how objective I will be. I love oxfords and see these as a great spring buy. They will be terrific with any kind of pant, including cropped, and potentially with some skirts and dresses too. <br />Did you try them on? Did you like them or are you wavering because you did not? <br />If you liked them but wonder about the value of this type of shoe, I would say that you don't need to worry; they will likely be very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1204988 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:34:17 +0000 Liz 1204988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like, when you tried them on, there was something about how they looked on you that made you feel they were&nbsp;unflattering. </p> <p>Do you think that feeling will go away as your eye adjusts and you find ways to wear them, or do have a sense (from past experience) that this is the kind of thing you probably won't adjust to?&nbsp;&nbsp;If you think you might adjust, it's certainly worth bringing them home and giving them a good try on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1204987 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:32:04 +0000 Astrid 1204987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd also say a nude Oxford could be a workhorse. I personally love to wear my oxfords with skirts and dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1204985 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:29:44 +0000 Liz A. 1204985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think a nude oxford would be a workhorse for spring.&nbsp; I'm planning to wear mine with cropped pants to the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1204978 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 20:24:38 +0000 Thistle 1204978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nude to you = awesome. I love finding a good nude shoe, especialyl for summer.</p> <p>You can wear these with skirts as well as trousers. But, it is hard to know until you see them on your foot and try them for comfort. Not all flats are made equally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buying-without-a-plan-closet-orphan#post-1204951 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:57:59 +0000 Von 1204951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stopped by JCrew at lunchtime to look at the Navy field jacket.&nbsp; While pondering, I wandered into the sales department and saw these oxfords for 25% off (and already marked down). </p> <p>I have wanted oxfords for a while, but have no idea how to wear these to flatter my shape. Can I even expect to flatter my shape with huge feet and boat-like flats? Is that just a dream?&nbsp; What I would do is buy them and wear them with long trousers (always).&nbsp; I know there are more fun things to do with these this spring, but I need some help deciding if they are a wise spring purchase or not.&nbsp; The color is nice and would be a *nude* oxford with my skintone.&nbsp; </p> <p>I just don't know!</p>
