I love black with blue, and you know I think you look good in shirts the colour of the cardi is beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves/page/2#post-1852759 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 18:20:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1852759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, high five! These jeans are the best. I really like all my Mother jeans--so comfy. and I feel fab in them. </p> <p>Sterling, thanks. You make me think: I can look at these like basically a dark shoe, not get too concerned with matching them to clothing.</p> <p>Thanks, RobinF. I just ordered a long cardi in wool, too. Not quite as long as this one, but I do like long cardigans. </p> <p>Kelly, thanks for chiming in!</p> <p>Suz, I really appreciate your thoughts! The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of floral loafers for me, too. Your point about weather is good, though. I tend to get more wear out of my booties, too. But mild-weather options do have a small role to play here, probably more than where you live.</p> <p>Karen13, thanks for your vote of confidence!</p> <p>Janet, yes, those are the ones. I'm wondering if these floral ones could serve a similar purpose for me. Still trying to figure out if they have potential for that kind of workhorse travel shoe, because if so, they are keepers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves/page/2#post-1852731 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 16:25:34 +0000 Janet 1852731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, I do have one pair of loafers -- the Paul Green platform loafers. These miraculously do not slip off my heels. I love the shape with the pointed toe, and the substantial sole. A bit funkier take on loafers. These have become such a staple, they are my go-to travel shoe -- easy to slip on and off in airport security, if need be. The sole separated from the rest of the shoe when I was in Portland this past summer, and I found a cobbler there in town who repaired them for me in just a couple of days. What a relief!&nbsp;</p> <p>If I could find another pair like this, in a color like navy or burgundy, I'd be all over them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852727 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 16:01:32 +0000 karen13 1852727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this look, although it does not come across as maximal to me. The subtle floral of the loafers is great. You should keep them. You wear the long cardi with style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852725 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 15:54:40 +0000 Suz 1852725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of floral loafers for you and like what I see here, although admittedly, that is not much where pattern is concerned. I also love the colour of the cardigan on you. Very flattering. I like the jeans both ways -- for me it would depend on the weather.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like both loafers and oxfords but don't wear either. Loafers because they don't stay on my foot, and oxfords mainly due to weather -- the season is so short that I make do with sneakers, though if I worked in an office I would surely get a pair.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852702 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 13:50:22 +0000 kellygirl 1852702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the loafers. This is a fun look. You wear those long cardigans with panache! Great to see you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852688 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 12:27:17 +0000 RobinF 1852688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks great, love the loafers. But I am in the loafer-over-oxford camp so am biased. I am drawn to long cardigans like yours this fall too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852661 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 10:29:52 +0000 Anonymous 1852661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful. &nbsp;I love this outfit ... so cosy. &nbsp;It may just me but the floral loafers are so subtle that you should easily be able in incorporate them into your wardrobe. &nbsp;Going back to read what others thought. &nbsp;</p> <p>It is in the 80's here. &nbsp;Still wearing Summer clothes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852651 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 07:52:50 +0000 Bijou 1852651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit very much and your new loafers work beautifully with your jeans. I have the same jeans and love them because they are so comfortable. I am on team oxford too, I find loafers harder to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852636 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 04:23:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1852636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DonnaF, you made me laugh with your comment about shiny brown penny loafers. And your comment about the long cardi and plaid shirt combo is intriguing! I wouldn't have thought of it.</p> <p>MsMaven, right. It's easy to choose a pair of floral shoes because they are pretty, and then . . .&nbsp; what to wear them with??</p> <p>Thanks, Janet. You've worn loafers (black platforms, right?) and they looked really cool, so you gave me hope that they could go beyond a modern classic look. </p> <p>Joyce, and Shevia, yes the loafers are comfortable. They are cushy and have good arch support, and I think they fit well. That said, I do find oxfords more secure feeling on the foot. </p> <p>Shevia, yes, the floral print is so dark, it's hard to see till you get up close. I like that about it. </p> <p>Brilliant suggestions, unfrumped--thank you!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852629 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 03:08:40 +0000 unfrumped 1852629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the loafers! I’d love to try them. Not maximal, but Moody Interest.<br /> I find I need to juxtapose more with loafers. Usually with the rest of the styling as more feminine. Blouse rather than shirt, or a soft knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852626 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 03:01:36 +0000 Jaime 1852626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the loafers for you (if they are comfortable). The pattern is so subtle I can't see it in your pictures, but that makes it easier to wear with a little pop of interest for those paying attention (I would notice if we met!). I think they work for your style while evolving it subtly. And your hair if fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852623 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 02:34:49 +0000 Joyce B 1852623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit and the shoes, are they comfortable? Maybe I have to check them out, too, but I don’t need shoes right now... I love mocs because of the ease of the on-off part. I hope you will find them useful for your wardrobe and that you will reach for them often. I don’t see why they would not work for your style. However, if you find that you will not reach for them, maybe go for the Hispanitas oxfords? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852616 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 01:51:03 +0000 Janet 1852616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the loafers a lot, and don't mind a more subtle, less maximal combination myself. I think you look great in this! I'm also starting to feel the uncuffed/unrolled jeans look -- maybe because it's fall or maybe just ready for a change.</p> <p>I like loafers and oxfords, but it's hard to find loafers that don't fall off my heels because my feet are a little narrow. Oxfords are an easier fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852609 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 01:00:25 +0000 MsMaven 1852609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with those who likes it better with the jeans cuffed.</p> <p>I'm glad you posted. I bought the Munro floral loafers but haven't worn them except around the house. I realize I don't have an outfit figured out to wear with them--I just loved them and bought them. I'm not sure what they will look good with.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852608 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 00:59:50 +0000 DonnaF 1852608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose one could call it juxtaposition, but my eye has a hard time combining the plaid shirt with a long cardigan. I always picture plaid shirts with a structured jacket or raincoat. The shirt looks fabulous on you, however, but it's quite a departure from your other WIW posts and your Finds. These particular loafers seem like less of a departure since they are dark and a floral. Now, if they were shiny brown penny loafers I would probably have a heart attack.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852603 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 00:49:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1852603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Smittie. Good ideas! Maybe even a different cardigan. And I think with more my usual tops, rather than a collared shirt, I will feel more "me." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852601 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 00:34:04 +0000 Anonymous 1852601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lipstick and hair are gorgeous in the pics!

They seem "you".</p> <p>I think the cardi-plaid shirt combo is a little preppy, or something like that. At any rate, maybe less "you". I would expect something more arty. Perhaps a jacket instead of the cardigan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852597 Thu, 12 Oct 2017 00:02:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1852597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, thanks for your thoughts. I was browsing through loafer looks online today, and the ones I liked best did show a bit of ankle. This floral really spoke to me, and what you suggested has crossed my mind--to hold out for an oxford. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852582 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 22:35:37 +0000 Deborah 1852582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With Loafers and Oxfords I have a real preference to seeing a little of the ankle.&nbsp; It's just a personal preference, so I do prefer the look withe the jeans cuffed.&nbsp; I do love this loafer, the chunky sole and the dark pattern but I am not a loafer girl, give me an oxford any day :)&nbsp; Despite the current loafer trend, to my eye they do not always look modern - to me -&nbsp; (that may or may not be important) the showing of a bit of ankle moderns the look up for me.&nbsp; Given what you have shared about loafers and your love of Oxfords, should you be considering a floral Oxford??&nbsp; &nbsp; BTW I do love the outfit xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852578 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 22:01:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1852578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EmilyK, thanks for your thoughts and compliments. </p> <p>LaPed, so interesting about the loafers versus oxfords. I agree that oxfords are much easier to fit. I'm wearing these around the house to see how they will do. </p> <p>jlpp, thank you. These loafers kind of jumped out at me at the store.</p> <p>Thanks, stella.</p> <p>Angie, you are a sweetie. </p> <p>Texstyle, thanks. I think I may enjoy wearing plaid a little more now that my hair is longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852554 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 19:56:22 +0000 texstyle 1852554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The loafers look great - love the subtle floral!&nbsp;<br /> I think it's a great outfit but also I understand how the plaid might feel a little preppy (it does on me too but I still enjoy wearing it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852548 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 19:28:45 +0000 Angie 1852548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER </p> <p>Floral loafers are fab on you, Sharan.

I like the subtle pattern mixing, you also look pretty in the grey.<br /> I am like you, I wear my oxfords easily but all 4 of my loafers, I struggle with styling and feeling comfortable in. FWIW, I like how you styled these a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852544 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 19:15:10 +0000 LaPed 1852544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this whole outfit -- great colours. I too prefer the jeans cuffed.</p> <p>I think there's definitely a Team Oxford and a Team Loafer. I've always been Team Oxford. I found loafers heinously ugly until pretty recently, well after they'd started trending. It may be because, growing up, I only ever saw them worn in not-at-all-ironic High Prep stylings. New England...</p> <p>Also, I've yet to find a pair of loafers that fit my feet -- if the toe box is wide enough, the heels are too loose. Laces are useful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852538 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 18:44:42 +0000 Emily K 1852538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit and the proportions on you. &nbsp;Personally, I tend towards loafers and can't quite make myself wear oxfords. &nbsp;Maybe there's a perceived ease to loafers that oxford do not share (IMO)? &nbsp;Overall, I do not see this outfit as maximal--the shoes are pretty subtle, the plaid is classic, and the cardi and jeans provide a lot of solid in-between. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/floral-loafers-trying-some-fw-must-haves#post-1852522 Wed, 11 Oct 2017 17:47:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1852522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, thanks!
