Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-710320 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:41:19 +0000 cciele 710320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your feedback everyone! I'm still trying to figure out how to style oxfords. Suz, thanks for the lace suggestion -- hadn't though of that!</p> <p>Thistle, I would definitely wear the dresses with heels but am looking for flat alternatives. I've never been a fan of ballet flats but perhaps it's time to give it a shot :)</p> <p>Denise, thanks for your analysis! Interesting about the irony concept -- I'll have to consider that.</p> <p>Meanwhile, I have a different pair of flats coming soon and will post pictures for comparison </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709908 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 06:36:15 +0000 CocoLion 709908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I really like the oxfords with the boyfriend jeans, I'm not sure about them with these longer sheath dresses. The dresses you have on are fantastic on you, they are modern classic and feminine. I'm with Thistle on preferring ballet flats with these dresses. Or heels. While the oxfords with dresses is an edgier style concept that to me, almost has to be worn with irony. (There I go using edgy when I swore I wouldn't any more since it is so overused. But I don't know what other word to use. Oh and probably irony in a fashion context is overused too.) So, to work with dresses, I think the oxfords need to go in more of a retro route like 60's librarian (pencil skirt, shirt and sweater) or 50s swing dress. Here are some pictures to show you what I mean (#1 and #2 -- I like #2 a lot.) I found way more examples of oxfords with short skirts, which is girly young to me but I thought #3 and #4 worked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709794 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 03:16:40 +0000 Suz 709794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, the dresses are just SO amazing on you it is hard for me to concentrate on the shoes! But yes, I like them. Can you switch out the dark laces for a change? Especially with the first dress I think a lighter lace could work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709771 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 02:34:07 +0000 fern 709771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These shoes look great. I really like these dresses on you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709707 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:11:04 +0000 catgirl 709707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them, and I am a huge oxfords fan as you know, so all these outfits work for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709693 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 01:00:47 +0000 Thistle 709693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The others are most certainly more "in the know" on the latest trends than I am. So take this very lightly.</p> <p>Personally, I would say go with ballet flats. While I like the shoes on you, I just don't feel like the outfits looked pulled together with them. Perhaps if they had a higher heal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709679 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:34:01 +0000 Diana 709679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great in the lighter color.

These shoes in the more neutral colour are definite winners! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709667 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:19:12 +0000 velvetychocolate 709667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't see the earlier thread, but wanted to say that I really like the lighter-coloured Naya oxfords on you - they look great with all of the outfits you've posted. Speaking of outfits, these are all *fab*. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-naya-teak-oxfords-try-2-with-striped-dresses#post-709600 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 22:15:15 +0000 cciele 709600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last K/R of the day In my previous attempt, I had tried the black version of the oxfords with the red dress, which people felt was too heavy. I was able to get the more neutral color. Does this color work better? I'd like to be able to wear the oxfords with dresses as well as pants. Or should I go for a more ballet-style flat?</p> <p>Thanks for your help! </p>
