Love those styles and I was just looking online at another Fidji style over the past few days. I love that green, but taupe may give you more mileage, Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again/page/2#post-681835 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 02:38:25 +0000 Anonymous 681835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voting for G185 in taupe. I really like the look of this shoe and the taupe will go with about anything. I also like this same shoe in the green except that I wish the straps on it were a deeper color, not light green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again/page/2#post-681829 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 02:29:31 +0000 velvetychocolate 681829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read all the replies, but I clicked on the various links in your post, and right off the bat, I came up with :</p> <p>G185 Taupe ...I put three checkmarks next to this pair on my little notepad :)<br /> G187 Blue ...two checkmarks ...</p> <p>I also liked the G284 quite a bit, but felt like the pale green (although beautiful) wasn't going to be a real workhorse in terms of your climate and lifestyle. </p> <p>I love all the shoes you picked out, it's just that I'm not 100% sure that pale green or too much pale blue will work in your climate - I'm guessing that from October to April it's pretty much fall/winter there? </p> <p>In the meantime though, you have found some fabulous deals! WOW. Now I have to ask - how do these fit? I tend to take a smaller size in Ecco and even Clarks than I do in other brands - would you say that Fidji is kind of similar - as in, you might size up a wee bit? Or are they pretty true to size, in your opinion? </p> <p>Definitely get G185 in taupe, and if you're just hankering for a different 'colour' - go for G187 in blue. I'm not necessarily good at this though...just giving my non-expert opinion in terms of what I liked and what I think might work with your wardrobe, climate and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again/page/2#post-681727 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 00:55:45 +0000 Kari 681727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 3 and 5 - the lace up pairs. Beautiful shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-681237 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:19:34 +0000 MNsara 681237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I jsut saw that the amazon "Lib Blue" of G187 is called Purple on Zappos. Your hunch was right! I think that shade of Purple sounds pretty cool. Zappos video also makes them look extra cute. . .but the four reviews seem to indicate this style runs a little small. . .<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/fidji-bianca-g187" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/fidji-bianca-g187</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-681209 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:47:58 +0000 MNsara 681209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>G185 in Taupe - the touch of metallic always gets me, the heel is their nice chunky, stable heel that would be great for your walks to/from work. Nice color for fall and even winter.</p> <p>I'm not sure of that blue color with your wardrobe.</p> <p>The green is beautiful, but more summery than fallish, and has a skinnier heel.</p> <p>For anyone still wondering about sizing: I wear a solid 8.5 and have a slightly wide foot. I've purchased three pair in Fidji 38.5 (whereas I'm typically a 39!). But there have been two styles where the 38.5 didn't fit right, and I never pursued them in 39. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-681184 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:23:19 +0000 Ginny 681184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the green ones!!!!! cool shoe!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680892 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 21:39:01 +0000 marianna 680892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm voting for G185.

I was able to narrow my list down to 3 pairs:</p> <p>2. G185 in taupe? - the same questions as for G212<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ</a>.....PDKIKX0DER<br /> because Angie said so </p> <p>4. G179 - in blue?<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ</a>.....PDKIKX0DER<br /> I am just too curious for this shape and blue color looks to be on the purplish side. </p> <p>5. G284 in green<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ</a>.....PDKIKX0DER<br /> because this green color makes me happy</p> <p>It may happen that none of them works of course but I think I will try and report back...</p> <p>Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680846 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:20:25 +0000 Jjsloane 680846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites sort of in order (yes I put them all in my shopping cart - really tempted):</p> <p>G185 Taupe/Bronze<br /> G212 in tan/brown<br /> G187 Blue<br /> G223 in Yellow </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680844 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:19:58 +0000 Diana 680844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 179 in both colors, although since you already have yellow shoes, I vote for blue. It looks like a neutral denim-y blue so I think it will be quite versatile. I think you have long enough legs to pull off the higher contrast with the blue. This style is quite edgy and cool in my opinion and very different from your other fidjis!</p> <p>I also like 284 in green a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680776 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:18:00 +0000 Atlantia 680776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>G284 in green takes my breath away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680757 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 17:00:20 +0000 Kyle 680757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer Number 1 and Number 5. Number 2 would also work, but does seem closer to what you already have. (And I don't think 1 is too close to what you have.)</p> <p>I do not personally think Number 4 or Number 6 would be nearly as versatile or flattering on and I would steer clear of those. And you already have yellow...</p> <p>Number 5, in green, would be a lot of fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680754 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:56:59 +0000 Angie 680754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>G 185 in taupe gets my vote! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680744 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:36:26 +0000 Sveta 680744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krista, you are such an enabler!<br /> Vildi, thanks for the confirmation that one cannot have too many yellow shoes!:-)<br /> Sarah, thanks for your opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680728 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:16:43 +0000 sarah 680728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2, 3, and 6 the best, but 2 is more "fall-like", 3 is more spring/summer to me, and perhaps 6 could cross over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680717 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 15:49:26 +0000 Vildy 680717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>G 179 would work for winter/fall with socks/tights showing through "window".<br /> I know you already have yellow and white oxfords but I sure do like the yellow and<br /> white selection they're showing with the cuff (I think, I can't bare to open all those links again to find 'em ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680716 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 15:45:53 +0000 Sveta 680716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, in winter we need BOOTS! This is more for summer to work and for early fall / late spring. As you see I selected closed toe and back shoes so I can wear them with nude hose to extend the season a bit - when it is too cold to go barelegged.<br /> So far I have eliminated #1 from my list as they are too close in color to my nude ones.<br /> I am torn on #2: they look darker and may work into fall when my nude ones are more summer shoes. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680709 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 15:35:00 +0000 sarah 680709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I just love your current fidjis. They work perfectly in your wardrobe, and every time you wear them I am smitten. I probably would not repeat the skin-toned, since you've already got those. So, I'd branch out and add some color or else something that will work well with your fall wardrobe (these won't work for winter, right, since you'd have to wear socks in winter?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680696 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:57:49 +0000 Anonymous 680696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure! I forgot you wanted to wear them with the white pants. I like the yellow/white booties for them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680695 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:57:34 +0000 Sveta 680695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, G223 are available in yellow only in my size </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680693 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:55:07 +0000 Sveta 680693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, this is what I need to do but I have wider feet so it may contribute as well. I hope other people with Fidji experience can chime in too - I just have one pair.<br /> DJ, I am trying to add more low heel interesting footwear to my collection. As YLF helped me to identify I miss on darker and colored shoes but I am not sure light blue is a good footwear color for me.<br /> Do you guys thing those green pumps and yellow booties can work with white flared trousers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680692 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:54:40 +0000 Anonymous 680692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the last ones, but what do you think about the brown/taupe in these? They're darker than your nude ones, and would add a bit of edge I think. Your long legs can handle the cuffs and the darker color. The blue, yellow and green ones are so light (pastel) and I'm not sure how they would look with your wardrobe.</p> <p>ETA: Plus you already have yellow oxfords, yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680687 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:49:48 +0000 Krista 680687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta,<br /> Thanks for fixing the links. Those shoes are so awesome! I had never heard of this brand before!<br /> Here are my votes for shoes you are trying to choose:<br /> G212 - tan<br /> G185 - Taupe<br /> ** I know I voted tan and taupe for both - I'm not a fan of the light blue. This being said, I am a little biased towards tan/taupe shoes, so it's important to consider that :)<br /> G179 - Yellow for sure! (OMG- they are awesome in yellow! With jeans? Are you kidding? Love!)</p> <p>And all of the other ones are awesome too and I would snap those babies up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680686 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:49:05 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 680686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, Sveta, I'm not sure any of those are different enough from your one pair of Fidjis. Is there a shoe hole you're trying to fill? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680683 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:48:27 +0000 Queen Mum 680683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so you're saying that you size up? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680680 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:42:18 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 680680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I'm also wondering about Fidji sizing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-shoes-again#post-680679 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:40:47 +0000 Sveta 680679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, Kim, Krista - I have corrected the links.<br /> Kim - yes, those are the ones.
