I don't reach for them as often as I thought I would, but I really should. I think you could work them a lot better than me since your hair is much lighter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403501 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 22:23:48 +0000 devon7 403501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Timely post because I often wonder the same thing. I have been wearing my tan sandals (I did a post about them) with more outfits recently, but I still hesitate to wear them with black skirts. I think a more nude shoe like the ones Sarah posted might work well with a black bottom, but my sandals are more of a tan color. Or maybe I just need to re-train my eye.</p> <p>If anyone has photos of themselves wearing a black skirt (or ankle/cropped pants) with nude or tan shoes, I would love to see how the look works. I have quite few black bottoms and I would love to learn how to make them more summer-ready using lighter colored shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403404 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:47:57 +0000 Mo 403404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess replacements would be cheap and an easy fix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403403 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:46:19 +0000 rae 403403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a DIY once where similarly tacky shoes were made with actual tacks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403401 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:39:48 +0000 catgirl 403401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a DIY somewhere on those tack shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403400 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:39:12 +0000 catgirl 403400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just learning to wear mine. Here's how I do it: in any situation where I'd naturally pick another shoe (usually black), I try the nude pumps. If they work, I wear them. My outfit today is a good example. I couldn't figure out what shoe to wear, and then I realized I could try the nude. </p> <p>You have to make a conscious effort, but after a while, you will find it easier. Your wardrobe and climate are well suited for nude shoes, Mo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403381 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:07:06 +0000 Heather 403381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>**Una, Warning** Do not click Malina's link above.

In my head, they would be a good choice of a nude office sandal, but I know you don't do offices. </p> <p>I think the idea of possibly getting nude boots or booties is a good one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403305 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:11:09 +0000 Sarah 403305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A nude bootie would be so awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403300 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:07:08 +0000 Mo 403300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the pics! I actually really like the look of the toe on the pumps - but I know they have no place in my life!! I have one pair of gray pumps unworn but 'just in case' in my closet right now. For over a year now But I am really warming up to the idea of a shootie or bootie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403295 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 18:00:12 +0000 Sarah 403295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe I can convince you? I wear mine ALL. THE. TIME. I have pumps and sandals.<br /> This is just a recent collection, but I wear these more than any other color of shoe (black is a close second, of course). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403291 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:54:47 +0000 Mo 403291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking that because I have plenty of sandals and am heading toward fall/winter soon, I will admire this from afar. Who knows? Maybe I'll find an awesome pair of nude/taupe booties instead this fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403288 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:52:12 +0000 Lisa 403288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my nude shoes when I have lighter colors on top to bookend, or when I have a printed dress and want to lengthen the legline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403082 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:25:30 +0000 Deborah 403082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I love the Tsubo sandals! I don't have nude shoes but they are on my list for summer. I think they are incredibly versatile and can be worn with so many styles and colours. I also love the leg lengthening factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-403028 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 13:12:17 +0000 Kelly 403028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What *can't* you wear them with is the question :)</p> <p>I wear mine (4-inch heeled platform pumps) with skirts, dresses, and jeans. I like the lighter feel they bring to an outfit in the spring and summer. They will probably get less use from me in the fall when I like the heavier feel of a black shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402927 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 04:26:36 +0000 lyn* 402927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd wear them ... on my feet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402910 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 03:53:03 +0000 Anonymous 402910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Tsubos don't actually look "nude" to me on you, thought they look great and are very cute. I think the rosey/pinkish ones would blend in with your skin tone better and be more "nude". To me it's the difference of being neutral (goes with anything) to be nude ( blends with skin). I say if you get the e bay cash then go for it, you can wear them with anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402876 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:54:33 +0000 annagybe 402876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear mine when I'm doing something colorful or printed, ie my recent DVF riot color dress that I wore to the opera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402868 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 02:43:18 +0000 Fruitful 402868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Luckys are gorgeous! That colour would be nude for me. </p> <p>I wear nude wedges when I am barelegged and leg-lengthening matters (to balance a hem length or just to look extra awesome!).</p> <p>I did think they had to be the same tone (ish) as your skin, but I saw JK Rowling wearing some beigey/tan-toned ones even though her skin is more pinkish, and she looked fantastic. (I was very moved by the interview as well!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402830 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:53:36 +0000 Heather 402830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, I think just like Kim's query in the other thread: the Lucky have a more casual vibe and the Tsubos seem dressier. So you could wear the Lucky with boyfriend shorts and casual frocks, etc and the Tsubos could be worn with a nicer outfit for dinner, party, wedding, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402816 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:40:49 +0000 Diana 402816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think mine (flat oxfords) go with everything! I particularly like them for days when I am wearing something potentially leg-shortening like clams but I don't want to wear heels. My nude-ish Frye Carson shorties are also actually easier to wear than my darker ankle boots, because, again, they are not so shortening.</p> <p>I think the key is to get a nude that matches your skin tone somewhat well ... so, since I have golden toned skin I always look for warmer nudes rather than pink or ashy nudes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402814 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:39:09 +0000 Mo 402814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose I should ask you all how these Tsubos would differ, outfit wise, from my Lucky's I have already, other than that they would be a lot easier to walk in haha!! I guess, to echo Queen Mum's concerns, do I need them? Or will the Lucky's do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402806 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:32:27 +0000 Victoria 402806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nude is supposed to go with everything. I know how you feel though because I have a pair of nude shoes and when I tried to wear them with dark color capris it just looked wrong to me because I usually would wear black or dark shoes with dark buttoms. Still playing around with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402804 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:31:21 +0000 Aida 402804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me they required a bit of thought at first because of my long dark hair, but I've found them very versatile. I count my dove gray patent pumps and pinky-nude strappy sandals my nude shoes. I've been using them to keep outfits that have no dark elements light overall, in addition to pairing with dresses/skirts to elongate legs and keep things more summery looking. I also like them with skinnies for some leg vavoom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402794 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:26:34 +0000 Queen Mum 402794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I plan to wear mine with pretty much everything. I had them on today and held up all of my dressier dresses and they made every single one of them look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402784 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:22:09 +0000 Heather 402784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Malina, nudes go with anything! I like your choice. Good luck with your eBay sales, Friend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402783 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:20:31 +0000 modgrl 402783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing mine all summer with almost everything. I don't try to match them to anything. They are key to making my outfits work, especially any potentially leg shortening styles like midi's, crops or clams. They are great with dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dumb-question-those-with-nude-shoes-how-do-you-wear-them#post-402777 Fri, 12 Aug 2011 01:15:39 +0000 Mo 402777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been eyeing nude shoes for some time now. I have my Lucky Abeo platform wedges but they're not exactly nude. I'm drawn to pinky nude sandals again and again, but how the heck would I actually wear them? I know I would not wear pumps, although I have been quite enamored of them, watching MaryK and Amyreh don theirs with panache. So, should I just sit this one out and admire from the sidelines? (and for all you SYC'ers, I would only do this if I earned eBay cash to cover it!)<br /> <a href="http://www.6pm.com/tsubo-devana-nude-brown" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/tsubo-devana-nude-brown</a> </p>
