I turned it down at the time I wasnt sure if it would go with the other warm toned colors predominately in my wardrobe. I should have bought them, my warm wardrobe could use some cool tones for contrast. </p> Go ahead and buy the cute red ones unfrumped!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890911 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 16:53:47 +0000 unfrumped 1890911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L’Abeille, I am wearing suede in summer if I can- if there something that links it to summer vibe. My feet live shed and it’s not too hot for me. Lighter colors DO “ read” better— pale grays or blush.<br /> The light-colored soles make them in some ways less versatile- even more casual- but to me let me skew summer.</p> <p>smittie- I do prefer more subdued color in footwear. Not a problem for tops and toppers though. So my task is to see if I’ll feel too statement-y. The style seems conservative- preppy (?) so maybe that helps. I would likely keep other aspects neutral but maybe with tiny bit of red elsewhere.<br /> Angie- thanks. We shall see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890881 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 16:04:52 +0000 Angie 1890881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red shoes look well suited to you, <b>unfrumped</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890862 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 15:34:06 +0000 Anonymous 1890862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those red ones, @unfrumped.<br /> Do you wear brighter shades in spring/summer? </p> <p>I too prefer a more burgundy or subdued red. These look pretty subdued, but still a bit of a statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890860 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 15:33:25 +0000 L'Abeille 1890860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are gorgeous. And I am always in favour of red shoes. But... are you planning these for your spring and summer wardrobe? Will the suede be too hot for summer? Or "feel" too hot aesthetically?</p> <p>Maybe not. I have mint suede loafers that are perfect in summer. These just give me a fall vibe, is all. Also, I want to wear them NOW, and I have a real hard time extrapolating to a season I am not currently in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890851 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 15:21:12 +0000 SarahD8 1890851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very inspired by your diligence in trying on outfits before deciding whether or not to keep the shoes. I like that shade of red a lot. And think it will make a nice tonal mix with burgundy. I hope they work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890662 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 02:10:25 +0000 Mainelady 1890662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I think everyone needs a little red in their life (in whichever shade makes you happiest)....toenail polish, lipstick, shoes, a bag, a front door, a sassy car at least once in your life........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890653 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 01:54:05 +0000 Kathie 1890653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three years ago, I bought red shooties. Officially, I didn’t need them, and they were “fun” shoes. I’ve worn them at least once/week, every winter, and still get compliments. Turned out to be one of my best purchases ever.</p> <p>So, if they work with your outfits, I vote, “keep.” I’ve never regretted my red shoe purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890639 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 01:16:03 +0000 unfrumped 1890639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, we’ll see. I am making myself look at things as having to make outfits. In theory things we love should all “ go together “, but I’m so picky about vamps and such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890628 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 00:56:23 +0000 Suz 1890628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour! Suede is nicely forgiving and should feel roomier in the toe box.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890627 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 00:48:34 +0000 unfrumped 1890627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, all the loafers are heel- slipping on me these days . It didn’t used to be such a problem. I’m trying another brand in a narrow size, hoping the cut of the toebox is roomy enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890586 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 23:10:16 +0000 JAileen 1890586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look really nice. I tried the Whitney when I was looking for navy shoes. They slipped off my heel too much. I ended up with Naturalizers which were very comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890567 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 22:30:59 +0000 Anonymous 1890567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are a beautiful shade. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890566 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 22:28:04 +0000 Cardiff girl 1890566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That red loafer looks really pretty.I have 4pairs of red shoes,balletshoes ,espadrilles ,sneakers and a court shoe.I find them really useful in the spring and summer months and they go with a surprising number of outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890496 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 19:38:13 +0000 Jenni NZ 1890496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well very pretty! I don't think I should advise on "collecting" shoes for "extra pretty". It is clear that I do x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-shoes-epiphany-or-not#post-1890491 Fri, 16 Feb 2018 19:32:11 +0000 unfrumped 1890491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I blame Suz for shoe madness posts and Angie for Red Shoes reports. </p> <p>I am trying the Bass cherry red tassel loafer. I have not worn yet as need some weekend time to do outfit tryons.<br /> Here are the odd aspects: 1)<br /> “ my red” would be burgundy, as brighter reds can make me feel self- conscious. However, if red, this cooler, darker cherry is pretty good.<br /> 2) I was swearing off any toe-taper as I need rounder toe box. These are almond toe.<br /> Pros: 1)they feel really comfortable. Not HIKING comfortable, but really good cushioning, and the toe taper isn’t sharp, and the suede helps( intentional choice)<br /> 2) the slightly tapered toe gives them an aesthetic I love but was being careful about due to my feet. This “ look” can work better with skirts as well as some ankle/ cropped pants.<br /> So, a problem is that if I keep them, they would be “ extra” , fun shoes. I still need to update and replace some rounder- toed loafers. I’ve tried LOADS of loafers and am really having trouble with comfort+ fit + looks. Surprising to me. ( other Find of Weejuns style I had assumed would work- haven’t tried the suede but tried others and NOT comfy).<br /> Hence I am going to have to do some serious try- ons of S/S outfits to see if they work as I would intend- to add a type of style at adequate comfort level that’s worth the closet space and would get enough wears— don’t want to just “ collect “ and save them but use them. This means hauling out the wardrobe items and existing footwear for comparison. </p> <p>For this who are real red shoe aficionados, these are comfy to try. </p>
