With oxfords it's the overall look that plays up or contrasts with their style. I bet they are adorable and can't wait to see photos!</p> <p>I'm the opposite - I really don't like girly shoes - have never worn a bow, a pointy toe, stilettos or anything that feminine on my feet. Every now and then II'll see a pair that looks great on someone else, though, and think about taking the plunge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-224230 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 22:43:32 +0000 Auburn 224230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta love Zappos! The Michael Kors already arrived. Out of the box, I almost couldn't even bear to try them on. The boyfriend agreed--mannish and unattractive. And then I put them on (wearing pajama bottoms because we both agreed that no amount of styling would make them workable) and there was some hilarious transformation. They became, well, cute! Even BF had to admit that there was something quite fetching about them. But it's a strong look and one I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to. I'll try to take a picture this weekend when I get my act together to try them on with an actual outfit. Plus, I want to wait for the Bass ones to arrive so I can do a true side by side (with pics). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223620 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:55:55 +0000 lynne 223620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually bought the Bass shoes when Lucky magazine was offering a discount on them. I used to be a complete sucker for Bass shoes. These are cute, and I love the heel, but I think they are going back. They're just not that comfortable, and not the quality I associate with Bass even for the $45 I paid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223517 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 07:53:22 +0000 rute 223517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the nordstrom!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /> I guess those would convert me to oxfords team! So lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223506 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 06:24:28 +0000 Marley 223506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH - those Kors shoes are gorgeous. They are definitely my favorite. Will be anxious to hear which ones work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223450 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 02:41:00 +0000 Lisa 223450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see which pair works out, I like them all. A little more for the MK one's but all choices are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223449 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 02:38:46 +0000 Megan 223449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had the same dilemma about Oxfords. I ended up with these ones <a href="http://www.wittner.com.au/shoes/view-all/farah-black.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wittner.com.au/shoe.....black.html</a></p> <p>I think the little heel and pointy toe makes them much more feminine. They are on my feet right now and they are very comfortable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223413 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 01:26:15 +0000 Angie 223413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The "Pour la Victoire" oxfords are in the store. I almost bought those in white. They are so beautifully made I can't stand it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223408 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 01:14:05 +0000 Beth 223408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohhhhhhh, I love those Kors oxfords. The color, the cut-outs...they're fab. Be sure to model them when they come in:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223381 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 00:10:43 +0000 Auburn 223381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, true to my shopping style (as I described it in today's thread), I ordered both the Michael Kors and the Bass oxfords. Actually, that's not true. The Kors shoes were NOT on sale (majorly breaking my own "sales only!" rule) but Zappos claimed there was only one pair left in my size and I caved under the pressure. Pathetic, I know. But I am committed to returning unless I truly LOVE them and can imagine getting a lot of wear out of them. The Nordstrom ones were inexpensive and practically free with a Nordstrom note I had. But will likewise be returned if not perfect. I'm hopeless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223167 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 18:13:36 +0000 Anonymous 223167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Kor's oxfords too. I love the cut outs if you live in a dry climate, and the gunmetal color is so pretty.<br /> The first pair is pretty good looking too.<br /> I had the Bass pair to try on when I was exploring my options. I decided they looked too much like the saddle oxfords we were forced to wear as children. They may be right for you though. I did find them to be fairly comforable especially with a heel.</p> <p>I love there is the taupe suede.<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/joan-david-rivka-black-suede?channel=135&#038;mr:referralID=77a1e043-cb2c-11df-8752-001b2166c2c0" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/joan-dav.....1b2166c2c0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223159 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:54:41 +0000 Barbara 223159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Kors oxfords too! The gunmetal color is fierce yet versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223146 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:28:17 +0000 catgirl 223146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *LOVE* the Michael Kors oxfords - the cutout takes them over the edge into sheer fantastic-ness. I think oxfords can work with a feminine style - that contrast just adds to the charm of the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/possibly-foray-into-oxfords#post-223142 Tue, 28 Sep 2010 17:25:40 +0000 Auburn 223142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had them on my fall list as a "might have to have" but all this forum chatter is definitely getting me in the oxford mood.<br /> My main concern is the masculinity--my style is 100% feminine and so I worried that I wouldn't find a way to make oxfords work with my closet. I like Angie's idea of pairing them with skinnies (which I wear a lot) but I would love a pair that could also transition well into the office setting.<br /> So here are my top three contenders--would love some input! And I realize that the flat vs. heeled styles makes these hard to compare but I trust you all are equal to the challenge!</p> <p>Love how neutral these are and I've had good luck with this brand:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/pour-la-victoire-colbi-light-grey" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/pour-la-.....light-grey</a></p> <p>Potentially a more wearable color throughout the fall:<br /> <a href="http://www.zappos.com/kors-michael-kors-yazmin-gunmetal-lumen?zlfid=111" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/kors-mic.....?zlfid=111</a></p> <p>These scream "girly!" which I love even though I haven't bought Bass shoes in probably 20+ years!<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3092080?origin=category&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....sultback=0</a> </p>
