Pink is similar. Just sayin'!

It seems like a good spread, I hope they work out. Janet on "Metallic mules" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-mules#post-1911111 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 18:43:29 +0000 Janet 1911111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, the Dolce Vita mules arrived, and they're a no go -- not comfortable enough. The footbed is weirdly padded so it feels lumpy under the ball of my foot. A few others didn't make the grade either. A fab pair of LD Tuttles were terrific except for the color -- it's too yellow-warm a tone for me, when I would prefer a more platinum to silver or pewter color. So back they go.  However, one pair of shoes (out of six!) from my Prime Wardrobe order is a winner. These Gentle Souls platform sandals (rose gold again!) are wonderfully comfortable straight out of the box, and the platform gives them a bit of sporty edge. Perfect for what I want!  However, along with the Steve Madden Arctic sneaker, that makes a lot of rose gold footwear. I think I would prefer the Sam Edelman woven mules in silver. The tricky thing is that it seems to be hard to find the silver in my size. I may try ordering the 7.5 because I think I have a little bit of room even in the 8.  It's funny, the pickier I get, the more I have to work at finding shoes that truly work for me! :-D  Christina F. on "Metallic mules" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-mules#post-1911088 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 17:44:09 +0000 Christina F. 1911088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rose gold mules! *heart eyes* Janet on "Metallic mules" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-mules#post-1911076 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 16:56:50 +0000 Janet 1911076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like that idea, Angie, but I'm trying to be smart about how much I will wear mules -- I like exposing my toes in summer! Speaking of which, maybe I'll get a pedicure today!

They will replace the classic thong sandals I mentioned you could update - (that are beat up).  Janet on "Metallic mules" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/metallic-mules#post-1911071 Fri, 20 Apr 2018 16:42:38 +0000 Janet 1911071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've been out of town for a week, and while I was away, another pair of metallic mules arrived for me to try. I ordered the Sam Edelman mules below in silver and in rose gold. As chance would have it, my usual size 8 was available in rose gold but not silver -- silver was available in a half size up so I decided to try those too, but the silver 8.5 was definitely too big. I had already brought home the Jeffrey Campbell silver woven mules (I posted about them a week or so ago here: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-shopping-—-the-promising-options-i-found">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ns-i-found</a>)  but I'm thinking the Sam Edelmans are slightly more secure on the foot since the vamp goes further back on the sides of the foot. It also looks slightly less slipper-ish. It's not quite as comfortable as the Jeffrey Campbells but I would try them around the house to see if they pass that test.  I was originally thinking of getting mules in silver, but the rose gold might be a happy accident. I have these older Jeffrey Campbell silver/holographic shoes that are still in very good shape -- maybe not as on trend but I think still current, but please step in and set me straight if I'm wrong about that. They are not incredibly comfortable, so I don't wear them often.  I also tried the Shelly's London silver mules here, and they're really cute, and not bad comfort-wise, but they're VERY shiny and not as casual looking -- I'm not seeing them as being quite as wearable with shorts and really casual outfits.  So far, the rose gold woven Sam Edelmans are winning out, but I have another couple of options arriving today (the Dolce Vita find below). I'll post pics later.  What do you think? I'm definitely up for adding a new pair of silver shoes and a new pair of rose gold shoes for summer, most likely one will be a mule, and one will be a sandal or slide. The rose gold Sam Edelman woven mules would certainly tick that box.  And are my old Jeffrey Campbell Deetz flats (in the custom Find and in the stock photo below) still fab enough? Or are they prime for an update?
