HOT. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan/page/2#post-281931 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:37:27 +0000 Mo 281931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Zap - they are between 1.5 and 2 lbs on my scale but I think you meant how heavy they feel on your feet . . . because they are strapped to you basically, they don't feel heavy at all. They are wood soles but have a nice cushy padded footbed in them. I went down half a size and they are snug but not tight. Oh and the platform is 1 1/4" with a heel of 4 1/2". You should get some - you'll love em!<br /> @CocoLion, you should definitely learn how to eBay. You can score some really good deals. Just be sure to do enough research beforehand so you know you'll be happy with what you get. Often returns aren't offered.<br /> Thanks everyone for the nice compliments on my legs (blush). I always had too skinny calves with bigger thighs. I think running has help 'even out' my legs some lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-281925 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 20:11:31 +0000 AJ 281925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowzers!

I think they are going to be worn a lot - especially since the 70's trend is coming around. I've always loved platform but done in a sleeker way. These hit that perfect note for me - not too clunky. (and they even have little peace signs on the zippers for that extra 70's kick lol) Now to get my big floppy beach hat on and I'll be stylin' for sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-281899 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:26:14 +0000 Angie 281899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-281895 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:22:33 +0000 catgirl 281895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, these are fantastic.... and they have a great 70s vibe that will make them perfect for the latest trends! Your legs are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-281892 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:19:19 +0000 Mo 281892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I ended up with the tan color. They just came today - and I LOVE them! I read that the white ones weren't a true white. They are coin colored, whatever that is, so I'm happy with the tan choice. Also I think with how heavy the platform look can be, tan lightens it a little. But who knows, maybe I'll cave and get the coin ones, too, in a few months if they're still available!<br /> I have my dead of winter colored legs, so I imagine come summer time the shoes will be lighter than my skin tone, not the other way around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278203 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:23:13 +0000 MNsara 278203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for white! The tan is definitely lovely, but you are in FL and your coloring is lighter so the white won't be as stark as it might on others. </p> <p>It will give a bright spot to your outfit. If you feel okay repeating that white in your clothes or accessories (and if you don't fear keeping the white nicely white. . . ?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278195 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:14:32 +0000 Tanya 278195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Normally I would say tan, bu since you want something sassy than I would go for white! Add a white watch and you are all set </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278190 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:03:59 +0000 Aida 278190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see the tan as sassy at all. If you want sass, I definitely vote white. Auburn brings up a good point that the cage style of these sandals would show a lot more white than a non-cage sandal like mine. I think, though, you'd still be fine with the white especially with lighter toned hair. Maybe Angie will chime in with a more expert opinion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278186 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:59:16 +0000 Auburn 278186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking white could be a fun addition (particularly if you already have some tan sandals), but the particular style of these is pushing me back into tan camp--these are quite strappy, almost "cage" style shoes and therefore I'm thinking you may prefer them in a more neutral color that doesn't jump out as much as white naturally does. I like the white ones that Aida pictured, but you'll note that those are a more simple sandal style and so you notice the white but it's not overwhelming. I'm afraid that the style of these wouldn't lend themselves to the same effect, if that makes any sense.</p> <p>Also, what is the ebay return policy on these? I know you've written previously about getting stuck with items you can't return (because they were a better price) so just wanted to flag that. If you can't return them, I'd defnitely purchase from a return-able source, even if they end up being pricier. Shoes are particularly tricky that way... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278185 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:57:58 +0000 Mo 278185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, very good point! I want them to be a sort of sassy addition to many a cotton summer outfit, but not too overwhelming - thus the toss up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278179 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:53:31 +0000 Aida 278179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on what you want the footwear to "say" in your outfits. The white will pop more than the tan, and the tan will give you a longer leg-line. As a fellow petite, I almost always side with the longer leg-line option, but I must also say that I enjoy wearing my white slingback heels in the summer even though it doesn't lengthen me quite as much as a nude pair would. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278178 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:53:22 +0000 Mo 278178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Concerning the adding white to match ideas - I do carry an off white cotton canvas bag 99.9% of the time And yes, I do live in FL for now and to add another spanner into the mix, I own some platform tan sandals already, but they are much daintier so I don't see this as a duplication. (See pic below) Now where are we lol?!?<br /> I really think price may end up deciding for me, as much as I want to get past that this year, it's still a very real factor that's hard to ignore. </p> <p>I am loving hearing all the votes and why! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278176 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:52:24 +0000 cciele 278176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm leaning toward white, as long you wear something else white in your outfit. Tans can be hard to complement your skin tone. But if you want the shoes to blend in with your legs, then go with the tan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278168 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:46:21 +0000 Laura 278168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white, especially since you live in Florida, right?

Either a few shades lighter or a few shades darker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278132 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:10:25 +0000 Astrid 278132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the tan shoes, because I think they're more versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278123 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:55:51 +0000 Kate 278123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for tan. I think tan shoes are flattering on almost anyone, whereas white is pretty stark and you might need to include white somewhere else in the outfit for it to look put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278113 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:37:17 +0000 Lisa 278113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote tan. I have white shoes and tan sandals for summer. Forgetting that one is sandal and one is a shoe, I kept reaching for the tan sandals all the time, because they "went" with more of my outfits. I found the white very hard to match up with outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/platform-sandals-white-or-tan#post-278104 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 21:30:14 +0000 Mo 278104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I will have to start tallying the votes I can see plusses and drawbacks to both, actually. I'm still on the proverbial fence. But ebay bidding may just decide for me tomorrow. Right now tan is $20 cheaper but if/when the bidding gets to equal price with white I will really be in a pickle with my decision! </p>
