The black go with the dress, the pewter will be more of a nude effect next to your skin. <br />I can understand obsessing over details like you describe, though I don't see anything jarring in your photo of the new sandal-booties. They are awesome. If I didn't already have the ones below, I would be all over them myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1635090 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 14:02:30 +0000 Anonymous 1635090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the new ones would go with everything, including your new skirt, but I like the black sandals with it very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1635083 Fri, 25 Mar 2016 13:55:28 +0000 Anonymous 1635083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more question, would these go with my recent dress acquisition, or do the black sandals pictured work better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634563 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 15:11:53 +0000 BrieN 1634563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh. Those shoes. Are. Beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634421 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 06:41:54 +0000 Barbara Diane 1634421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have distressed metallic color sandals and I love them. I was worried at first about the same thing, but I don't think anyone else notices. And they look more distressed than the ones you are considering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634376 Thu, 24 Mar 2016 03:06:59 +0000 Anonymous 1634376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi- I'm not much for high heels, but these are very comfortable!</p> <p>Aliona- thank you for the real life review </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634302 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 22:56:55 +0000 Anonymous 1634302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on paying more exacting attention if the item is pricey! I bought these sandals last year and initially felt the same way about the finish, but I wore them constantly and grew to appreciate the finish the more I wore them. I am no fan of distressing, but I feel it helps the metallic seem more luxe. Before these, I had a pair of metallic Coach shoes with no distressing and they were impossible to keep perfect--too shiny and vulnerable. </p> <p>Only you know what will bother you, but I can't recommend these enough for comfort and versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634281 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:38:15 +0000 Mochi 1634281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are super cool. I also would find the heel height a dealbreaker for myself. I do flip flop on expensive items. I'm on record here for doing that! The shoes look awesome.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634280 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:37:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1634280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful sandals. FWIW, I don't see anything wrong with them. I get picky, especially about spendy stuff, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634277 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:34:00 +0000 unfrumped 1634277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is intentional and actually "makes" the look--much softer and probably more versatile, more neutral, &nbsp;than a shiny flat leather. More casual, too, of course but that it the style. They look fab to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634275 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:31:08 +0000 JAileen 1634275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so relieved to see this wasn't about lice!</p> <p>Your shoes are really cute. I don't see any flaw at all. I wish I could wear that height.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634274 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:27:20 +0000 Anonymous 1634274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is helpful feedback, I do tend to get more persnickety if an item is pricey, and then the overthinking spiral begins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634265 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 21:03:01 +0000 Angie 1634265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the Find, and a top pick to boot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634247 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 20:33:13 +0000 rabbit 1634247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with <b>lisap</b> about distressing. &nbsp;A mirror finish silver would be different, but these are meant to be a softer color I think. &nbsp;</p> <p>I can be incredibly picky about color and shape with some things, and also have a small budget, so that gets frustrating especially when I'm trying to match a color like camel, or trying for optic whites versus winter whites. &nbsp; Also I don't like gold hardware so then have to decide whether it's worth bypassing something because of the color of a zipper, lol.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634246 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 20:32:42 +0000 viva 1634246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous! I agree with Anna, plus I think some unevenness probably gives the metallic some depth. Are these a Find? They are really stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634236 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 20:10:56 +0000 Angie 1634236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Anna.

These are the best shoes ever - I have been lusting over them since seeing them in Nord last month. &nbsp;If they didn't have a peep toe, I"d have bought them on the spot, regardless of how $$ they are here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634209 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:48:35 +0000 Banoffi 1634209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;1. I love those sandals!&nbsp; They are in my shopping cart as well, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.</p> <p>2. I completely understand. I'm the same way with noticing tiny imperfections others probably don't see, as well as second-guessing my purchases.&nbsp; </p> <p>3. That said, I don't notice any imperfections in the sandals.&nbsp; I think they look fabulous!&nbsp; :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nitpicking#post-1634203 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 18:18:41 +0000 Anonymous 1634203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased these sandals yesterday beacause they had been on my radar for a while and it helped that it was a Nordstrom triple points day. Then last night, I was obsessing whether the slight distressing of the metallic finish is too uneven in places and distracting. This morning I took this picture and I think that I am the only one who would even notice - classic overthink!</p> <p>Do you ever do this? I wish I could be more confident in my decisions and not waffle so much. Any advice? </p>
