I love to hear a success story like this I hope you get the picture thing sorted out so we can see these beauties in action! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-715707 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 15:14:15 +0000 lynne 715707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you kept them. I have them in brown (bought after I saw AG's in purple) and wear them frequently. So comfortable, and they immediately amp up the style of any outfit they are paired with.<br /> When I was still working I almost lived in my Dansko mary janes. I loved them so much I bought them in 2 colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-715652 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 14:05:00 +0000 Traci 715652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to hear you're loving them! I'm becoming quite the Frye addict. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-715622 Sat, 08 Sep 2012 13:10:11 +0000 Preppy Pear 715622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey all,</p> <p>I'm so glad you hashed this out with me, even without pictures. I need perspective, I get so hung up on shoes and colors. </p> <p>Anyway, I kept the shoes in the smoke (yay, Traci!) and they make me feel so stylish and laid back at the same time - and they are so comfortable I don't want to take them off. I love my shoes and I love that I made a decision on shoes without looking back for once in my life. (And then, of course, I brought some really expensive boots that I never wear to the consignment store, sigh. I've already worn these oxfords more than those boots.)</p> <p>Hopefully pictures to come soon - I have to get a decent mirror that I can move or get dh to take pictures!</p> <p>Thanks again,</p> <p>PrepP </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707971 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 03:01:38 +0000 Jenava 707971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these in black and prefer to wear them with pants, so I think if you like them with jeans and wear jeans pretty frequently then you should keep them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707926 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 02:27:06 +0000 Preppy Pear 707926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've got a crazy few days ahead, but I think what I will do is try them on with some different outfits and post a few pictures soon. It's way too hot here right now for oxfords, so no need to make a decision for just yet!</p> <p>Maybe I'll even order a bunch of the shoe styles I've got my eye on and ask for input on a selection. </p> <p>Taupe is a good idea, though I didn't see them in that color. Alaskagirl, I wish I could get them in purple! I'm really starting to love the smoke, though. Everyone, thanks so much for your thoughtful replies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707288 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:07:31 +0000 catgirl 707288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't have to see them to know they're a keep! I have them in purple. The color may be an issue, so let's see them. I wear mine with almost anything, though - I often dress the outfit around them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707223 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 15:09:47 +0000 Suz 707223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your hair is blonde, you might aim for a taupe shoe to bookend; it would look good with your jeans and with other colours as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707180 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:39:25 +0000 cinnamon fern 707180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you show us a picture of these with navy pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707163 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:17:26 +0000 Preppy Pear 707163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Glory, thanks! I responded to your thread before I saw your reply here! Anyway, yes, they are extremely comfortable. I have big feet - size 11 - and Fryes generally work well for me. Maybe we can work through this need to match one pair of shoes with everything together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707110 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:18:59 +0000 Glory 707110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shoes. Are they comfy? I am like you, expecting every shoe to go with everything. Perhaps it doesn't need to. I can see these working with all kinds of outfits. Love the colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707086 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:15:51 +0000 Preppy Pear 707086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your thought, ladies! Traci, my hair is light blonde - only slightly darker than Angie's. I do have darker eyebrows and hazel eyes, but I'm very fair. </p> <p>I tend to agree with Lyn that I wouldn't pair this shoe with a very dressy outfit, but that's because of the style of the shoe, not the color. Zapotee, I'm heartened by your pairings of navy and brown - it took me forever to accept black and brown, so this might be a similar issue for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707080 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:01:20 +0000 Anonymous 707080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love navy blue with brown accessories and shoes, so I definitely think the pairing works.</p> <p>I used to have a pair of brown mid calf boots that I just sold, and yes, they were particularly gorgeous with navy blue. The key is to keep in mind what you are wearing on top. I would wear them with a dressier pant as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707058 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 10:47:29 +0000 Traci 707058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these in the smoke color as well and I love them!</p> <p>What color is your hair? These kind of bookend for me, so I feel like mAtching my outfit is a little easier bc they always go with on element. </p> <p>Did you look at the charcoal color? I think it would be better with navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707053 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:29:31 +0000 Lyn D. 707053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi from a fellow Pear!</p> <p>This shoe looks to be excellent quality and at the price point that I would consider to be an investment piece and to be carefully considered.</p> <p>To answer your questions- yes I would wear this colour with dark blue jeans but probably not with a dressier pant unless it was a very similar colour to the shoe.</p> <p>I.M.O. a black shoe would be more versatile if you prefer to keep a small collection of higher end footwear.</p> <p>Hope this helps a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-frye-carson-oxford#post-707045 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 08:38:04 +0000 Preppy Pear 707045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my first thread, and I'd really appreciate your input! One of my major stumbling blocks in my wardrobe is shoes. I'm pretty good about picking clothes I feel good about, but when it comes to shoes, I feel like a dunce. I own very few pairs of fall/winter shoes - I think last winter I lived in my black dansko mary jane clogs - comfy, but I don't feel very stylish or polished in them. This season I intend to add oxfords, loafers, and a low black dress heel (to replace an older pair).</p> <p>I got these oxfords yesterday <a href="http://www.zappos.com/frye-carson-oxford" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/frye-carson-oxford</a>. They are beautiful - great fit, love the shape, etc. However, I'm a little nervous about the color. I got the "smoke" color which is a dark brown. They look great with my dark jeans, but navy blue is also a huge staple in my wardrobe. </p> <p>1. Do navy blue bottoms (not jeans) pair well with dark brown?<br /> 2. Should I consider another color?<br /> 2. Am I demanding too much of one shoe? I have a tendency to think that any shoe I buy has to go with everything, which is probably part of how I got stuck in this shoe rut in the first place!</p> <p>Thanks for reading! </p>
