I think I'm sorted now : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592367 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:58:30 +0000 Angie 592367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you choose a colour a little closer to your skin tone - you could wear them with just about any thing. (Click back to my outfits that I linked to on yesterday morning's post for visuals). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592323 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 13:17:14 +0000 Beth Ann 592323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these would be fab in your wardrobe! I'm guessing you dress a little more casually in the summer? I think a low contrast, high vamp shoe can "ground" a summer look. I have, well, powerful legs and this kind of shoe balances them better than some of the more delicate choices or athletic shoes like Cons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592257 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:42:16 +0000 rute 592257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They can work well also with skirts and dresses in the nude color!<br /> I wear the black ones during the winter with skirts and dresses but I go for a black hose to elogate the leg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592256 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:38:05 +0000 sarah 592256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. That helps a lot - it's all about creating a longer leg line, so in winter, they would have to be dark with dark hose, but in summer they should be skin toned. I think I got it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592233 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 09:57:27 +0000 Deborah 592233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah I agree with Elisabeth. I would only add that you could also wear these with a skirt that comes 2 to 3 inches below the knee also. I love these shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592155 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 05:15:35 +0000 Aziraphale 592155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High vamp shoes in a colour close to your skin tone vs. high vamp shoes in a high contrast colour are two different animals. You can get away with a lot more with low-contrast shoes. Those cute shoes you've posted there are pretty low-contrast, and I think they'd go with a lot. If they were mine I'd wear them with clamdiggers, skinny jeans, bootcut jeans, and skirts that end at or above the knee. They'd probably even go with shorts.</p> <p>In my experience, you really only *need* low vamp shoes if you're wearing longer skirts. High vamp shoes can visually shorten your legs with a skirt that ends below the knee. Othewise you're fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592145 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 04:58:23 +0000 kellygirl 592145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! IDK either. I think high vamp shoes work well with shorts and clams when you have a long leg line and/or the shoe is low contrast with your skin tone. I think these would work for you. I can picture them with walking shorts, skinnies and your navy Target shirt dress. Gorgeous shoes, btw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-vamps-and-sandals-with-coverage#post-592108 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 03:33:53 +0000 sarah 592108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm so confused about vamps that I thought I'd just go ahead and start a thread, since I know all of you wise ladies will clear things up for me. I've been eyeing these Pikolinos shoes (or similar ones) since last season, because I think they look very cool. But I'm uncertain as to how versatile they'd be, especially with their higher vamp. What could I wear these with? Would I be limited to skinnies? Or could I wear them with more than that? Would I be better off going with a conventional (ie, uncovered) sandal, since I live in bermudas, clams, and dresses in the summer?</p> <p>Thanks for helping me achieve some clarity regarding vamps and covered sandals! (How timely that Angie posted on both of those topics on the same day) </p>
