But there are some other flat oxfords (not two toned) that are also catching my eye - you might be interested:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/born-arletta-oxford/3167388?origin=PredictiveSearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bo.....tiveSearch</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/boemos-8203-slip-on-oxford/3246463?origin=related-3246463-0-0-1-2" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/bo.....63-0-0-1-2</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/born-ibis-oxford/3286551?origin=PredictiveSearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bo.....tiveSearch</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/hinge-penn-oxford/3247757?origin=related-3247757-0-0-1-1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/hi.....57-0-0-1-1</a></p> <p>Don't worry at all about asking - I put the info out there on the forum, so it's not a big secret here. No, I haven't said anything officially. I decided to wait as I got a strong review and wanted to make sure my raise came through before handing in notice, which would mean waiting a couple extra weeks. Since I was waiting anyway, I decided that to be safe, staying put for a month longer would give me more security. I'm kind of playing it by ear now, as I've finally received a little help, and there are also some recent developments that *may* make my remaining time here a little more bearable. </p> <p>And yes, I am scared. Still exhausted too, but less drained than I was, knowing now that this is a temporary situation that I *can* leave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes/page/2#post-606218 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:20:16 +0000 Beth Ann 606218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking marvelous and showing your amazingly creative style sense! You inspire me every time. I certainly hope you can find work that gives you joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes/page/2#post-606177 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 01:44:04 +0000 Aida 606177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous Kari! I adore all three of these outfits, so so good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes/page/2#post-606170 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 01:36:24 +0000 velvetychocolate 606170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari - thank you so much for the shoe help, much appreciated! I like the two-toned oxfords, but I particularly like the cream/tan ones more than the black/white ones I've seen around here for some reason. Probably because I'm too chicken to try - so I think easing into it with cream/beige/tan will work better for me. </p> <p>Meanwhile, just wanted to say that it was a real treat to see you post something - and I hope you know what an inspiration you are. </p> <p>Um, none of my beeswax, but have you 'said anything' yet, or are you taking some time to get ducks in a row (seems sensible to me) ? </p> <p>I bet that once you've decided and made a move, your energy level will go way up. Scary? Yes, very. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do. That said, I can certainly appreciate being a wee bit careful and cautious about this sort of thing - especially these days when it isn't quite as easy to jump from one thing to the other as it used to be. </p> <p>Hang in there and so glad to see you around these parts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-606136 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:50:12 +0000 Kari 606136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I kind of forgot about those heeled oxfords - they had meandered to the back of the closet over the winter. Now they are back to front and center, and getting lots of love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-606101 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:19:48 +0000 pastrygirl 606101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all three looks, but especially #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605995 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:06:46 +0000 Tanya 605995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great outfits Kari!

Yes, this one is from Anthropologie. They also had it in yellow but not in my size when it was on clearance. The zipper is really sticky/hard to zip without help though. Not a dress I'd choose to wear if B. wasn't around to help me zip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605813 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:02:31 +0000 Anonymous 605813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of them.<br /> Is that knit dress from Anthro? I snatched a similar one from the clearance section, held it home for about 6 weeks and decided that I was not going to wear it, so I returned it...<br /> .... In retrospect, that might have been a mistake... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605672 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:16:22 +0000 Meredith1953 605672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these outfits are beautifully styled!

Those stockings with that first blue dress are just to-die-for! And I love every bit of #2 -- each of those colours is so great with your colouring, it's stunning. As for #3, that's simply perfection you can't improve on, I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605650 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:56:11 +0000 nancylee 605650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally gorgeous and put-together, as always, Kari. They are all lovely, but I'm loving #1 especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605645 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:52:47 +0000 Anonymous 605645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love them all, but especially #2, so pretty and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605637 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:45:43 +0000 Kari 605637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Velvety Chocolate, the tan and brown oxfords are by Miz Mooz. They are the Histeric which is a few years old, but I've seen similar Miz Mooz color blocked oxfords since then. Check out Nordstrom, Amazon, and Infinity Shoes as they have had a lot of variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605585 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:08:14 +0000 Kari 605585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie and Claire, thank you for asking. I'm not sure if I'm better, exactly, but my situation has improved a little but lately - and I guess I'm more resigned about the situation, knowing that it is what it is, but that I can leave to avoid getting dragged down. Im exhausted but not as depressed. I've decided to stay another month longer than I'd originally planned though. more time/financial security and another month of medical benefits if I stay until June 1. </p> <p>Modgirl, funny thing about those off white oxfords. They are Steve Maddens and I got them several years ago at the same time as I got the gunmetal pair in #1. I had planned to only keep one pair and the forum voted in favor of the pair in #1. I planned to return the Steve Maddens and actually thought I had - until I moved and found them in my closet. Oops! But they are quite on trend now do perhaps it was a good thing that I kept them around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605584 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:08:11 +0000 marianna 605584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want your entire wardrobe, Kari! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605582 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 15:07:33 +0000 Jjsloane 605582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great, ladylike and put together.

I love the first outfit, and I can see any button show through at all. Your hair looks so pretty in pic 2 with the sunlight glinting off it, and I love your blazer in pic 3. But most importantly, how are you? Are you free yet? Your notice must be up soon, surely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605543 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:46:40 +0000 kellygirl 605543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Kari! You look so lady like with an edge in 1. It's super stellar. Love the OM chevron dress too--the color and cut are so divine on you. It's a great spring look. Love the playful striped jacket over the sheath as well. You always manage to look so put together and have such a fun sense of style. Every element is just perfect. Well done! You look radiant in every one of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605540 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:42:47 +0000 Astrid 605540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all three! You wear dresses so well. My favourite is #1, so ladylike! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605521 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:26:26 +0000 Kirti 605521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are stunning! My fave is #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605518 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:25:24 +0000 velvetychocolate 605518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab - and I always look forward to your WIW posts. The emerald green in #2 is a beautiful colour on you.</p> <p>Also, I'm sure you've mentioned in the past, but what style/brand are the cream/tan oxfords in #2? I really like these on you, and I could certainly use a pair of shoes like this right now. Not quite sandal weather here, and I have too many heeled booties, tall boots etc. </p> <p>You find the best things and are so good at putting them together into fab outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605517 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:23:54 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 605517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, it is great to "see" you again. Love the outfits and especially the first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oxfords-dresses-and-stripes#post-605515 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 14:21:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 605515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - nice to see you Kari! Hope you're doing well.</p> <p>These three outfits are stellar. You really wear dresses sooooo well. I love the crisp colour combo of blue and white in #1 especially. And you totally rock those oxfords! </p>
