You mentioned two black shoes already, bronze will be a fun addition to vary up your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-587260 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 11:34:06 +0000 JennyAnne 587260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yea for the bronze. That would have been my suggestion, too. Now I need to listen to my own advice and get the ones I've had my eye on for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-587237 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:16:39 +0000 fashionista 587237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY can't wait to see WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-587234 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:14:06 +0000 Kirti 587234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Bronze it is </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-587161 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 05:29:35 +0000 fashionista 587161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Kirti for the job.<br /> If you are trying to fill the wardrobe hole only and if you think you will get the maximum cost per wear then go for black. Otherwise bronze flats are also versatile and will act as neutral. You can buy the bronze now and after your first salary with this job (:-P), you may go for black. Blacks are common colors and can be found often but not those gorgeous bronze and comfortable one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-587121 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:29:54 +0000 Beth Ann 587121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!

I love both those and the oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586801 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 22:16:27 +0000 catgirl 586801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bronze by a million! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586787 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:45:21 +0000 Angie 586787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!</p> <p>I vote bronze too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586731 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:45:47 +0000 Kirti 586731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for picking the flats that I like better, you guys! I guess black ones will have to wait till tights wearing season comes back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586692 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:47:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 586692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YIPPEEE!!! Congratulations on the job Kirti! That's fantastic news. And yay for new shoes too! I think the bronze are just as neutral and versatile as the black but a little more fun. That's the pair I'd pick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586601 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:18:11 +0000 HelenInCanada 586601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CONGRATS on the new job! I say, go for the metallic flats - they're beautiful and practical too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586600 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:16:39 +0000 ManidipaM 586600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bronze, for versatility and matching your personal colouring as well as preferences. What I figure is that with the bright saturated shades you love to wear so much, the black may end up looking too harsh and heavy; I think bronze will jibe better with them.</p> <p>As a test, see if you can find two paint swatches to lay against the most-worn items in your wardrobe and see? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586582 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:06:32 +0000 jayne 586582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your job. Those gold flats are perfect. Black will come again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586556 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:41:53 +0000 Aziraphale 586556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bronze! They are neutral enough to be substituted for black most of the time, and you clearly like them more. </p> <p>Also, I think bookending is overrated. You can pick up an accent anywhere in an outfit, not just with your hair. I've got light brown hair and I don't own a single pair of light brown shoes (or anything even close). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586521 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:17:39 +0000 kellygirl 586521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bronze! I wear my pewter metallic more than black. In fact, I donated my black flats a couple of years ago because they were so uninspiring to me. I think that bronze will be a gorgeous match for you--a warm neutral.</p> <p>ETA: Congrats on the job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586516 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:15:19 +0000 Scarlet 586516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go for the bronze. It blends so well with your skin I think it works as a nude and neutral on you. Whenever I listen to logic over love with purchases I personally end up disappointed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586512 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:14:08 +0000 christieanne 586512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!! Very good news. </p> <p>The black flats that need to be replaced - do you reach for them a lot? If yes and they need replacing this very minute, go with black.<br /> But I will tell you I wear my metallic flats way more than my black. Because they are a neutral/solid with pizazz, like jewelry for your toes. I love especially if I am wearing a coat so my top is covered but my feel are still a little snazzy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flats-dilemma-and-some-good-news#post-586503 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:09:23 +0000 Kirti 586503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First the good news - I got the job with the babysitting agency! I still have to wait for a family that wants me as a babysitter but I'm hoping someone will soon. Thanks for all the interview outfit advice and good wishes :)</p> <p>The second good news is that in celebration, I'm extending that teeny tiny budget of mine to get 2 pairs of shoes this month - the yellow oxfords and a pair of flats from yesterday's post. I'm just not sure whether to get black or bronze snakeskin.</p> <p>I was thinking of black since it bookends my hair. I also have just 2 pairs of black shoes, one of which is a heeled oxford I hardly wear and a pair of black flats that needs to be replaced. </p> <p>The bronze snakeskin ones are gorgeous, darker than my metallic loafers and are likely to go with almost everything. I also love the subtle print. It is the cooler option of the two as well.</p> <p>So what should I do? Go for black and fill a wardrobe hole? Or is the bronze as much of a neutral, even if it doesn't bookend? Also, is a metallic shoe a better option for summer?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
