They were my personal favorite too, so I am very glad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225769 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:29:19 +0000 Angie 225769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hands down, the Blowfish.

They are so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225760 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:26:19 +0000 bella 225760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, I'm confused. Are you gonna buy all three? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225756 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:25:26 +0000 hanna 225756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the oxfords, but then i have a natural oxford bias. also, i have an almost identical pair from zara and they are surprisingly versatile. </p> <p>but if we're talking about shoes for the cargo skinnies, i'd go with the blowfish pair. so edgy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225752 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:24:14 +0000 Lisa 225752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to add another choice to your mix Tanya. I purchased these and love them. Originally I purchased them to go with cargo pants, the pants I am still looking for but at least I have the shoes and I think these are very versatile. I have the taupe suede, it looks great with green trousers.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/indigo-by-clarks-water-row-green-suede" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/indigo-b.....reen-suede</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225750 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:22:42 +0000 Queen Mum 225750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ha- Maya posted while I was hemming and hawing over them all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225749 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:21:44 +0000 Queen Mum 225749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave of the bunch is the blowfish, but you already have a pair of short boots, and I'm wondering if the oxfords are a more fashion forward option....<br /> but then again I'm having trouble envisioning the oxfords with skinny cargos....</p> <p>sooooooo, maybe it's the Volatile. I can see them with skinny cargos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225739 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:16:33 +0000 Maya 225739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for Blowfish only because I have had them on and know that you'd like them. They would work well with your existing wardrobe, cargo skinnies included. But the Volatile ones would probably work best with the cargos. </p> <p>Oxfords and cargos is an odd combination to me though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225737 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:12:51 +0000 Debbie 225737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the oxfords and Blowfish Booties. What a great idea to give yourself a birthday gift. I adopting that idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-birthday-present-to-myself#post-225733 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:08:30 +0000 Tanya 225733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I have mentioned earlier when I joined the SYC challenge, the only exception will be one item for my b-day and I have decided to make it something I actually need, which is a transitioning piece of footwear. I am pretty well covered when it comes to both knee-high boots and low vamp shoes ( ballet flats, wedges), but the in-between shoes - oxfords, booties, ankle boots are one area where I could improve. All I have in that group can be seen in the photo below : a pair of taupe Frye ankle boots, a pair of heeled grey oxfords and a pair of black patent booties. </p> <p>So this is what I am considering:</p> <p>1. Black Blowfish booties in the YLF store:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/blowfish-hold-true" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/blowfish-hold-true</a></p> <p>2. Steve Madden grey oxfords in the YLF store:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/steve-madden-trouser-grey-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/steve-ma.....ey-leather</a></p> <p>3. A pair of suede wedge desert booties, like these, in tan, but not necessarily the same pair:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/volatile-outlaw-natural" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/volatile-outlaw-natural</a></p> <p>Whatever I decide to get, i would like the shoes to work really well with my new olive skinny cargos, since I am not sure I have the right shoes right now for them. </p> <p>Thank you very much for your help and also please free to suggest something else if you think it makes more sense. </p>
