And the oxfords are more trendy, and will go great with jeans. So I'd vote in this order:<br /> - Cole Haan oxfords<br /> - Arturo Chiang animal flats<br /> - Doc spring boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary/page/2#post-838039 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:06:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - I checked with Amazon's return policy and they do offer free returns on shoes, so that's a good thing.</p> <p>Shevia - I feel kind of bad because I think a few folks have gone shoe hunting as a result of my thread(s) - sorry 'bout that!</p> <p>Ariadne - I have tried the animal print flats and they fit really well and are very comfortable. But I need to go get them soon because my size always sells out quickly.</p> <p>Suz - you are such a SWEETHEART to offer that! There is one store in the city that sells Cole Haan but not the full line. I'm going to nip in there next week and see if they have the Skylar. At the very least, I can try on a whatever Cole Haan shoes they carry and get an idea of sizing and fit, right?</p> <p>Debbie - yeah, those Anthro links are very tempting aren't they? Did you order anything? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary/page/2#post-837889 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:52:41 +0000 Debbie 837889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made some great choices. I can't wait to see them on you.<br /> The Anthro links may or may not have enabled me. They have some great shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837846 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 03:51:32 +0000 Ariadne 837846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices, Shannon! Have you tried on the animal print flats to be sure they're not too narrow?</p> <p>I'm just drooling over those Anthro yellow/floral print oxfords. Wow. </p> <p>And if I had a million dollars, I'd buy these. Who needs sandals? It'd be even better if they came in tan or cognac.<br /> <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shoes-oxfor/26723643.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....723643.jsp</a></p> <p>I'll be stalking those for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837779 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 02:09:39 +0000 Jaime 837779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, all this oxford talk is making me dizzy. I had better go visit my closet and remind myself I don't need any more oxfords! I will say that perforated is really good in the hot summer and makes a big difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837707 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 00:46:39 +0000 Suz 837707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, do they sell the skylars anywhere in Winnipeg? Or will you be going out of town at any point? </p> <p>I am going to be in Toronto at the end of the month. I could do a hunt and see if I could find and measure the width for you in our size. I think there is a Cole Haan store on Bloor St. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837672 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:51:31 +0000 Inge 837672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a hunch, Shannon. (and because I'm such a chocolate fiend myself, I often assume I can make everybody happy by sharing my stash:-)<br /> I really want the Skylars to work out for you. Does the site offer free returns in Canada? Then trying them on can't hurt, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837666 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:48:09 +0000 cciele 837666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I was going to post some Anthro links for you too!</p> <p>But I do like the two you've chosen -- the animal print and the Skylar. I think they will be extremely versatile. Now let's hope the Skylars play well with your feet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837547 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:03:06 +0000 jayne 837547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok you are torturing me, those links won't work since I am redirected to european site where they have different selection! whah whah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837532 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:45:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 837532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the chocolate Inge - how did you know I absolutely ADORE chocolate of any kind??? My favourite goody in the whole world is a cup of good, strong coffee and some dark chocolate....yummy...</p> <p>My only slight reservation on the Skylars is a few reviews I have read said they run narrow, particular in the toe box. I have medium width feet but the start of a bunion on my left foot (stupid foot!) and am worried they could be too narrow.</p> <p>Nicole - no can do on the black and floral oxfords from Anthro. Gotta stick to the budget. They are lovely and fun though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837529 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:41:14 +0000 Jewell 837529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those animal print flats! Sorry I can't offer any advice about the other pairs. I always look forward to your shoe posts because you have such a great eye for interesting shoes and I DO NOT : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837519 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:33:24 +0000 Inge 837519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fun!-) I'll just treat myself to a little chocolate (sending you some too:-)<br /> Your reasoning makes so much sense, Shannon, both these pairs have the potential of becoming wardrobe workhorses. And hurrah for the discount code and a little more budget coming your way via consignment.</p> <p>Can't wait to see you sport these beauties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837517 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:32:49 +0000 Nicole D 837517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your original idea of the grey Cole Haans and the animal print flats is the way to go - but for the price, why don't you snag the anthro black and florals too? Now you can see why my closet is bursting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837515 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:32:17 +0000 Anonymous 837515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what the forum is here for, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837514 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:30:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 837514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge - you are the WINNER of "what are the best shoes for Shannon" contest! (sorry there's no actual prize - lol!)</p> <p>When I wrote it down as to what is the most versatile, the animal print flats and the Skylar oxfords jumped right out at me as the clear winners.</p> <p>I love the Doc paint spattered boots but I think they are limited in what they can be worn with. If I had a ton of disposable income, I'd probably grab them, but I need to be smart with my budget. </p> <p>And although the colourful and patterned oxfords Una linked to make me smile, I suspect the quality wouldn't be quite the same as the Skylar oxfords and they may not be quite as versatile.</p> <p>My budget was $200 but with the code VC gave me for Amazon, the Skylar's are affordable. I have a couple of things selling on consignment right now that should be able to cover the cost of the animal print flats (or close to anyway) so I think we're good.</p> <p>I cannot thank you ladies enough for your invaluable input and I hope I wasn't too "needy" on the forum today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837506 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:23:27 +0000 Inge 837506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see the Anthropologie links, so I don't know what the black/floral oxfords look like. But I think the animal print flats + Skylar oxfords will get you a very long way and will be extremely versatile for your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837502 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:20:25 +0000 MsMary 837502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I totally would if I thought I needed them. Trouble is, they really fill the same wardrobe slot as my beloved Doc Saras.</p> <p>ETA: BUT... this is exactly the kind of super-special piece I hope to pick up during my 12 x 12 year. Normally I wouldn't think I could afford to spend $379 on one pair of shoes, but I've spent a total of $379 lots of times on multiple items, none of which were nearly as special as these beauties. There's a lesson in there, right?</p> <p>/threadjack </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837500 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:17:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 837500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous MaryK but I can't do that heel height anymore :(</p> <p>I think YOU should buy them though...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837498 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:16:44 +0000 MsMary 837498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG THESE!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shoes-oxfor/26722264.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....722264.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837491 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:12:00 +0000 deb 837491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skylar oxfords in reflective grey.

Sorry to be such a forum hog!</p> <p>I'm trying to figure out which shoes I will get the most wear out of and take the price out of the equation. I've also decided I can't really worry too much about what I'll wear come our hot summer because I live in sandals and flats in the heat.</p> <p>So what will be worn more/be more versatile for work and play:</p> <p>1. Animal print/orange flats<br /> 2. Skylar oxfords in reflective grey<br /> 3. Doc Martens spatter/white boots<br /> 4. Black/floral oxfords</p> <p>When I put it down like that, the answer becomes much more obvious. But I'm curious if you see what I see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837428 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:33:18 +0000 kellygirl 837428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My head is spinning too. I've been thinking about spring/summer footwear as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837417 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:26:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 837417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - we can definitely get Anthro delivery in Canada - that's where I got my B44 dress from. And their shipping and returns are pretty decent.</p> <p>Ok...done some more thinking...I think Una is really on to something with those gorgeous patterned and colourful oxfords. They do indeed fill two roles - patterned footwear and flat oxfords. I could get those instead of the animal print/orange peep toe flats - but in the black and floral pattern. I think the black would work better with my wardrobe - can't you see them with my black clam diggers and black linen pencil skirt?</p> <p>Although lovely, the perforated oxfords to me are more limited in use - could only be worn during our warmest months otherwise my feet would be chilly.</p> <p>If i were to get the patterned oxfords from Anthro and the paint spattered Docs, I could actually get both pair for my $200 limit. </p> <p>Or am I better off going for the better quality of the Cole Haan Skylar oxfords, but only being able to get those? My one concern with the Cole Haan's is I don't see those being a summery shoe and once our heat hits in June, I wouldn't be wearing them. So I'm not sure they fill my "spring/summer" hole properly.</p> <p>Oh good grief...my head is spinning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shannons-spring-shoe-summary#post-837386 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 20:07:25 +0000 Laura 837386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perforated oxfords!
