You're being very disciplined on your shopping fast. :)</p> <p><b>Kate</b>, yay! I hope they work for you!

And...I just ordered them for myself, they are so adorable. They look great on you, and a special bonus that they remind you of your kitty. Lost my 13 year-old to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 14 months ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1979137 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 05:06:29 +0000 Diana 1979137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are awesome! &nbsp;(Seriously, if I was not on a shopping diet right now I'd be very tempted to order them for myself.) &nbsp;And leopard is a neutral, goes with everything! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1979091 Mon, 03 Dec 2018 01:13:31 +0000 Nomad 1979091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Echo</b>, totally agreed on all points! After the initial visual shock, they've thoroughly grown on me.<br /><div><br /></div><div><b>Suz</b>, aside from fuchsia, those are all colors in my wardrobe, and I can picture all those combinations. I'll be doing a lot of experimenting!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks, <b>Anne </b>and <b>Jessikams.</b> :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>DonnaF</b>, I hope they work for you! (... or I hope they don't work, so you don't have to buy another thing? Whichever of those you most want to happen, I hope it happens!)&nbsp; I'll be curious to hear what you think of the black.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you<b>, Angie</b>!&nbsp; I've never been a maximalist, but my taste must be expanding (for which I credit YLF)... I like the burgundy, pink/purple plaid, and leopard combination a lot more than I expected to.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>shiny,</b> thank you! I hope they pass the test, too!<br /></div><br /><b>Janet</b>, it's so frustrating, isn't it? I'm guessing that's why we both seem to have a fondness for boots and booties, too.</p> <p><div><b>rachylou</b>, you have an excellent eye for cool, so if they get your seal of approval, then I'm going to go with that. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Taylor</b>, my boy was just shy of 15... it's tough when they've been with us for so long, isn't it?

I need to stay off YLF. You inspired me to order these and the black version as well.

They're BEAUTIFUL! If they're comfortable, they ought to be keeper for sure. The pointed toe is very sleek, and the pattern is eye-catching and subdued at the same time. They are absolutely perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978767 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 02:46:23 +0000 Nomad 1978767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Opaline</b>, pinstripes are my stripes (also a fan of Tim Burton-esque thick vertical circus stripes, though I sadly don't own anything in that pattern), but I think you're right in horizontal and vertical.</p> <p><b>shevia</b>, thank you! I have been thoroughly enabled, and love it. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978766 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 02:44:46 +0000 Nomad 1978766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thank you, all! They're staying. I still welcome styling ideas, though!&nbsp; My office should probably get used to seeing these.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Per <b>Jenni NZ</b>'s suggestion for pairing with bronze, and <b>lisa p</b>'s recommendation of a mustard sweater, I was thinking I don't have a lot of bronze... but I do have a bronzey-brown military jacket, and a rust sweater, and some red tops and toppers.&nbsp; And I adore pinstripe... great calls!&nbsp; Oooh, and now that you've got me thinking in color, I have some olive pants and tops that would probably play well with leopard, too...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much, Sterling. I've been feeling a bit off the last few weeks (not for any reason in particular... it's just been a lot of a lot, as happens for all of us time to time); you've lifted my spirits today. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Opaline, hello fellow oxford fan! I owned my last pair in elementary school, but I love that they've come back.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Alicewonderland</b>, I think you're right. They seem like such a statement pattern, and yet they seem to work with just about everything.<br /></div><br /><div><b>Chris987</b>, thank you for the enabling, and that's a gorgeous combination of things! I don't own any mustard, but I think rust and charcoal with leopard would be a close match that I do have. Did you keep the leopard shoes you tried, or were you put off by the boldness like I almost was?</div><div><br /></div><div><b>La Pedestrienne</b>, exactly! How does MF make pointy toes so comfortable? I don't even notice the toe shape when I had them on. The only thing I noticed comfort-wise is that the shoes are a little stiff, and I'm certain they'll soften with wear. But somehow the shape seems just right. And thank you... even though it's been almost a year without him, I still miss having my furballs around. At some point I'll adopt another pair, but... not quite ready yet. I'll just look at my leopard shoes and smile fondly for now.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Cee</b>, thanks! I haven't seen anything else quite like them... definitely special. :)<br /></div><br /><div><b>Joy</b>, I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's taking some time to adjust to the look. Red is a great suggestion, and I want to try the black or gray with brown combination now, too.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>unfrumped</b>, time will tell if they're comfortable (I've tried plenty of shoes that felt great at home, where I'm on carpet and can't get up to full walking speed, but started to rub or pinch as soon as I tried to walk fast across asphalt), but they seem to be so far. I'm leaning toward the "they'll probably be great" side of the spectrum right now. :)<br /></div><br /><b>Bijou</b>, that's funny, and awesome, that your coat ended up surprising you. I love it when that happens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978764 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 02:41:50 +0000 Jaime 1978764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Must keep! Try all the suggestions above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978762 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 02:38:00 +0000 Anonymous 1978762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they would pattern mix well with stripes, (I am biased) I have some leopard flats I wear with a black and ivory striped sweater &amp; black jeans. I think leopard is really pretty easily mixed. I also think as pointy as they are, they’ll work with bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978758 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 02:13:15 +0000 Bijou 1978758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like to treat leopard as a neutral and wear it with anything that I would wear with black. I bought a reversible puffer (black one side, leopard on the other) and whilst I initially thought I would mainly wear it black side with a cute leopard lining, it ended up that the leopard won the day.</p> <p>I give these a yes vote - I love how they look on your feet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978755 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 01:56:52 +0000 unfrumped 1978755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they are comfortable you are more likely to make them work. I think they could be great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978744 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 01:03:17 +0000 Anonymous 1978744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of leopard booties and it took me awhile to adjust to the look. Wearing another leopard accessory helps, like a scarf, bag or belt. The print looks wonderful with any shade of red. Many consider leopard a neutral that you can wear with anything. It is great at pulling black and browns or grey and browns together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978739 Sun, 02 Dec 2018 00:52:16 +0000 Cee 1978739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's pretty dang special </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978719 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 23:36:05 +0000 LaPed 1978719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I am not a raving shoe person or a huge animal print fan, and I like them, so that's saying something. I've tried on a bunch of MF booties with the pointy toe (still haven't found a keeper) and am always surprised at how comfortable they manage to be for such a dramatic shape. I hope you keep them! And so sorry for your kitty loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978712 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 23:20:16 +0000 Chris987 1978712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE lisa p's suggestions for how to wear these shoes. It's similar to this pinterest image I saved a while ago, I believe it is the LOFT mustard sweater I had three years ago. Like many LOFT sweaters it looked awful after one season and I passed it on but I haven't found one I liked as much since then and sort of wished I had held onto it.&nbsp; I tried some leopard shoes several months ago and had a similar reaction as you..they felt too bold and had a really pointy toe so felt too big also. <b><i>Your shoes are gorgeous</i></b> although I'm not a fan of oxfords myself. So consider yourself enabled and I'll take some inspiration to try to build an outfit like this myself!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978711 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 23:19:45 +0000 Alicewonderland 1978711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leopard shoes are surprisingly versatile. You will probably wear those a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leopard-oxfords-i-think-i-need-an-enabler#post-1978707 Sat, 01 Dec 2018 22:47:26 +0000 Anonymous 1978707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are sharp!

Thank you!! I'm not a shoe girl (I literally wore the same pair of plain black ankle booties every work day for a couple of years, before I started paying attention to fashion and style... and foot-health), and these are pretty wild (... so to speak...) for me. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>I do already have a pair of leopard block heel pumps, but somehow those feel tamer. Maybe it's the flat + menswear + pointy toe that makes it feel like a louder statement.</div><div><br /></div><div>But I'm pretty sure they're staying. They do seem to be comfortable. Thank you for the assist. :)<br /></div> </p>
