Really hesitated on this one and must have read each comment 5 or 6 times!</p> <p>Shoes are going back to Germany :</p> <p>1- I'm not sold on the slipper shape, they really remind me of slippers</p> <p>2- too much white, and I'm not into white shoes, doesn't blend with my skin nor by trousers.</p> <p>3- I don't need more closed shoes, I need more shoes that are open in the middle - like my gladiators or ankle straps - for warm weather.</p> <p>4- the calf hair should get dingy quickly and I have no idea how to clean it</p> <p>Next year... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1822469 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 14:08:35 +0000 Lisa 1822469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok you need to smile more in these photos because those new loafers are amazing on you! &nbsp;:) &nbsp;I like all these looks but #6 is my favorite because that is a lovely color on you. &nbsp;And what I like best of all is that you tried out your new shoes with outfits to make sure they worked before you wore them, awesome! &nbsp;I try to do this myself too. &nbsp;Now chop chop, start wearing those fabulous new shoes! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1822426 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 12:22:58 +0000 Suz 1822426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them on you. What's magical about cowhide shoes is the way they can tie dark and light together in an outfit. They bookend beautifully, whatever one is wearing. My favourites here are 3, 6, 7, 9.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do think the culottes work with the tunic as a high-summer look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1822418 Mon, 10 Jul 2017 11:53:51 +0000 skylurker 1822418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Kellygirl : thank you very much</p> <p>@ Emily k : poney hide! I've seen giraffe and zebra around, too :)<br /> Yep, posted the orange top in orange post, worn it with chocolate chinos and navy culottes so far, but I like it much better here, with faded jeans and a good ole half tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1822236 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 20:29:16 +0000 Emily K 1822236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;I like those shoes with EVERY outfit. &nbsp;Did you show us the top in pic #6 as part of your post on orange items? &nbsp;I really like it here. &nbsp;Fantastic. &nbsp;I'm glad to see the link for the shoes. &nbsp;When I started searching on-line for similar, I found some at asos but I can't open the link again. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;I got it--not the same, but similar --&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.asos.com/house-of-hounds/house-of-hounds-pony-loafers/prd/7338645?affid=14174&amp;channelref=product+search&amp;mk=abc&amp;currencyid=2&amp;ppcadref=753857711%7C38363126086%7Cpla-372244228797&amp;gclid=CMm09bjX-NQCFRSIfgodfLsCfw">http://us.asos.com/house-of-ho.....8;channelr</a>&nbsp; . &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1822209 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 19:09:40 +0000 kellygirl 1822209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore the new shoes.

Outrageously expensive from NZ brand Deadly Ponies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1822005 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 06:57:29 +0000 skylurker 1822005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your precious feedback.<br /> Jury's still out, I had no time for outfit creations yesterday.</p> <p>@ Emily k : yes, calf hair. Just noticed the brand calls the pattern "dalmatian" so I should have entitled the post "dog-hide loafers". That would probably have me banned from YLF though ;)</p> <p>@ Angie, Laurel : well, you can buy them, the (German) brand sells to the US...you'll have to rob a bank with Super Sam first, because the US price is ridiculously expensive!<br /> <a href="http://www.shoepassion.com/womens-shoes/no-88-wl.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.shoepassion.com/wom.....88-wl.html</a></p> <p>@ Scarlet, Ummlila, Brooklyn :<br /> thanks very much for rising these issues.<br /> I never know which direction I'm going, I'm bad at defining "style persona". I'm attracted to the idea of punchy shoes at the moment (to liven up dull white skin in summer or masculine/conservative suits in winter).<br /> But maybe there's too much white in this particular pattern, hence the feeling of loudness.</p> <p>@ Jenni : I like toes and heels enclosed, yes. Feel more protected in the grimy city (I commute on foot) and feel more appropriate for work.</p> <p>@ Firecracker, Joy : didn't realize the shoe collection is varied, but yes, I don't seem to have the same uniform tendencies in shoes that I have in clothes.</p> <p>@ Jaime : yes, the second outfit is more natural to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821965 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 03:21:13 +0000 Jaime 1821965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am stealing them too, except they won't fit. So I will just admire from afar. Culottes do not look silly, but I prefer the black and white outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821926 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 00:53:19 +0000 anne 1821926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great Isabelle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821920 Sun, 09 Jul 2017 00:41:24 +0000 Jenni NZ 1821920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore them Isabelle. But then I am a person who wears plenty of "loud" shoes. I like them best with the pattern mixing of the striped top. I like all your summer shoes but am interested that they are all closed-toe. Another person like Angie who prefers closed toe summer shoes? I like to "expose my toes" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821806 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 11:21:56 +0000 Mirjana 1821806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lovely loafers, I especially like #3 pattern mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821800 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 10:32:20 +0000 MaryAnne 1821800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new shoes! They work well with both outfits shown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821795 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 10:14:35 +0000 Brooklyn 1821795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pattern is personal. I struggle with patterned shoes. I have a pair of floral boots that I love the idea of but struggle to wear. I am happy to go loud (patterned) in my tops or bottoms but not in my shoes it seems. All my other shoes are neutral. You already have some coloured and patterned shoes so maybe this is something that you are comfortable with? If so, I vote keep. They are really cute, especially in the second outfit. And the tunic looks good with the culottes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821780 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 04:54:01 +0000 Laurel 1821780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I.Want.Those.Shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821765 Sat, 08 Jul 2017 03:33:57 +0000 bridgie 1821765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Culottes with tunic looks great on you.&nbsp; And your shoe collection is to die for. I do not think your new shoes are too loud.</p> <p>I do not ever in my life remember&nbsp;thinking a pair of shoes was too loud for me.&nbsp; I probably should have.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821730 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 23:34:38 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1821730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with the looks that you've shown. However, I did have a similar pair of loafers bought a couple of years ago, and I often did not wear them with looks that should have seemed like a perfect fit, just because I did have that "everyone look at my shoes" feeling.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821706 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 22:37:17 +0000 AJ 1821706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look great.&nbsp; I especially like the fun pattern mixing in the second outfit!</p> <p>When you first described the new shoes as "loud," I thought you meant the soles made a lot of noise when you walked, LOL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821700 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 22:25:38 +0000 lozz_oz 1821700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great loafers that look fab with all your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821662 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 19:56:27 +0000 RobinF 1821662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE.THOSE.SHOES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821653 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 19:37:39 +0000 JAileen 1821653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new shoes.

You have a lovely varied collection of summer footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821633 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 18:10:55 +0000 Dianna 1821633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the culottes with the tunic and the loafers are awesome.&nbsp; You wear culottes so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821621 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 17:29:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1821621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new loafers are gorgeous, especially with the black and white outfit. I can understand your feeling that they were loud when you first put them on--I've had that reaction to some shoes, too. But I'm glad your eye adjusted already, because they look really great, and I think they will work well with your wardrobe. <br />I like the culottes and tunic together, and Angie's comment about the low contrast makes sense for explaining why it works so nicely.<br />I'm admiring your shoe collection--a good variety and such beautifully looking shoes! And also what Scarlet said--that you have a shoe tree for every pair! No wonder they look pristine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821620 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 17:26:53 +0000 Emily K 1821620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are your loafers hair-calf? &nbsp;I love them! &nbsp;I can imagine having exactly your reaction...oops, they're loud...nope, they're OK , actually. &nbsp;The tunic and culottes look good on you--you seem tall enough to be able to wear, easily, outfits with horizontal breaks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821613 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 17:17:41 +0000 Angie 1821613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LOVE</b></p> <p>Killer Stunning loafers on you. Excellent bookending.&nbsp;I'm stealing them with Super Sam.&nbsp;</p> <p>Culottes look great with the tunic. Fashion forward. It's the low contrast between the top and bottom that make it work to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>You wear your clothes beautifully, Isabelle.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821610 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 17:13:42 +0000 Scarlet 1821610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the culottes with the tunic. I don't often get time to comment, but I do enjoy your posts very much when I get the chance to read here. The cow-hide shoes seem like a departure from my impression of your vibe, so it seems to me the question is whether that is the direction that you want. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I am positively inspired by the good care you take of your shoes--every pair with a shaper.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cowhide-loafers#post-1821602 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 16:22:50 +0000 The Cat 1821602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new loafers are fun and look great with both outfits. The first outfit looks quite all right, not silly at all. You have a fab collection of shoes. </p>
