Period. 921951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think these are beautiful and I think you will find that they are a lot more neutral than you are expecting (as so many of the wise YLF'ers before me have already said). &nbsp;Purple is really brown in disguise, especially when you mix in the teal. Snake skin is great texture, but not overwhelming, so you can wear it with anything. &nbsp;I can tell these are going to be a great team player!&nbsp;<br /><br />Anywhere that light shoes would seem to light, you can wear these. &nbsp;Obviously, they are perfect with your jeans. &nbsp;I won't wear bootcuts without pointy toes. &nbsp;Skinnies look great with them. Straight legs too. You can&nbsp;wear black trousers with them, mirroring their color with a metallic belt or a purple or brown or teal one. &nbsp;With a pencil skirt, yes! With a flared skirt, yes! I would wear them with cobalt, other blues, purples, teals. Maybe not with greens, but they might be great--hard to tell. &nbsp;<br /><br />Can you tell that I'm super excited about these shoes? &nbsp; :)&nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921933 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:30:55 +0000 Nicole D 921933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Get them! &nbsp;Husband thinks their hot, they will match all kinds of stuff. &nbsp;Plus, trending. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921915 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:01:28 +0000 Freckles 921915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So glad you are going to play with your closet Thistle because they are beautiful shoes.<br /><br />If you aren't convinced maybe try wearing them in the house a little bit and see if you feel better about them. &nbsp;If you remain unconvinced take them back, don't want orphans. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921772 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:46:57 +0000 Thistle 921772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I need to go back to elementary color matching. They are comfortable. I had to size up half a size, but the reviews had warned of that, and I am glad I did as they are now sold out!<br /><br />I will try pairing them with a few outfits tonight! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921752 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:15:26 +0000 Anonymous 921752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they will go with everything too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921748 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:13:45 +0000 Suz 921748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>LOVE</b> these. And they will go with everything, no joke. If they are comfortable, go for it. For instance....that green dress. Fuchsia. Black and white. Cobalt. Um...I can't think of anything in your closet they will <b>NOT</b> go with!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921741 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:08:58 +0000 kkards 921741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ these are great! i agree with the others, this is a neutral that could go with anything! i would love to see them with navy, https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921735 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:03:14 +0000 rachylou 921735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ja, I think this is a go with everything type shoe too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921394 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:38:23 +0000 Carole 921394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem super neutral to me and like they could work with a million things....I want a pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921391 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 921391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sveta and Gaylene said. Wear them with everything. They are really cute and modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921388 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:28:52 +0000 Gaylene 921388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I bought a pair of deep purple flats a year ago at my husband's urging and wore the shoes to death because they went with everything in my closet. I'd say, if those gorgeous shoes fit well, they could be real workhorses, especially if your closet tends towards neutrals or subdued colours. I agree with Sveta and the others, if you love these shoes, you'll wear them with everything <b>because</b> of the colour variation. Listen to your husband; he has a good eye!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921384 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:26:03 +0000 deb 921384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These would not be an orphan in my closet. I would wear them with skirts, dressy shorts, jeans, dresses, and maybe even pajamas. lol&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921370 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 03:07:22 +0000 Thistle 921370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are purple with a swirl of green/ Teal through them. I think that is why they are perplexing to me. I feel like I need something solid colored to go with them, and with that color scheme, probably black.</p> <p>I struggle with pattern and color a lot. Hence why there was no pattern in my Pre-YLF closet, and most of my pants are black with a pair or two of brown or grey thrown in for good measure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921330 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:25:34 +0000 Janet 921330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look like they'd go with almost everything. Jeans, dresses, you name it! Your husband is right -- go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921326 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:22:51 +0000 Mo 921326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would pair them with summer dresses, cropped BF jeans, maybe even a pencil skirt. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921291 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:46:34 +0000 unfrumped 921291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They look neutral to me! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921289 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:42:57 +0000 Karie 921289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh these are so cute! You could wear them with your jeans, your new&nbsp;wrap dresses, skirts, and dress pants. They look like a dark purple in the photo - if so, they would be gorgeous with blacks, blues, greens, reds, and patterns. I used to think that whatever color shoe I had, I had to have that color in my outfit - but that isn't true.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921288 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:42:43 +0000 Sveta 921288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the best shoes are the ones which do not match anything in your closet - then they can be a star of the outfit and nothing takes the outfit to the next level like a great pair of shoes with character!<br />As for those specific ones: I would be hard pressed to select what they don't go with - EVERYTHING! They will make even the most conservative outfit look cool and modern. Dresses and skirts - both pencil and flares, trousers, BF jeans, clams, slouchy pants...try them on and have a blast! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921285 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:38:37 +0000 Deborah 921285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thistle I disagree, I think this would work with so much in your closet. &nbsp;Some of your dresses, jeans, work trousers... you need these:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921283 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:36:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 921283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ With your jeans &amp; lots of your dresses? Sorry I can't remember what else you have:) <br /><br />Imo if you really love something &amp; it works for your lifestyle it is worth trying it/them with all your clothes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921279 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:30:40 +0000 Krista 921279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooooh, Thistle! They're cute! &nbsp;You could wear those with jeans or any of your dresses or flared skirts. &nbsp;I can't really visualize your pants right now, but they'd still work with pants. &nbsp;There are two pictures of styled outfits with the picture of the shoes - do either of those outfits speak to you? They are both nice.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-this-be-styled-or-closet-orphan-in-the-making#post-921271 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 01:18:17 +0000 Thistle 921271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I liked this shoe, and DH saw me eyeing it u p and said I should try it. So I did, and DH thinks its "hot". But I honestly haven't a clue what you would wear this with. While beautiful, I don't think it matches a single thing in my closet.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vc-signature-carrie-flat/3298295" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vc.....at/3298295</a></p> <p>How would you style them? </p>
