But you may want to start a new thread with the shoes, or try reselling them on ebay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123588 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:58:23 +0000 Kari 123588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, April, I SO wish I could take you up on your offer - your booties are beautiful and I LOVE Clarks. Unfortunately, my shoe size is an 8 or 8 1/2. I appreciate you mentioning them, though. I hope you can find someone else here who can give them a good home - I know there are many other YLF members that are around a size 6.5.</p> <p>Thank you to all of you for the great feedback you've brought up. Legacy of Pearl, that's an especially good point that they might have very different looks - I think the gunmetal pair seems to be a bit lower vamp and might work better with skirts.</p> <p>I took a chance and ordered both since it's free overnight shipping and free returns anyway, so I'll test them out over the weekend and probably return for a second, more extensive round of opinions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123359 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:57:47 +0000 LoP 123359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these booties have different character. The first one is more structured (or defined?) and looks more comfortable. The second one is more elegant and romantic in a masculine way. There's room for both in a closet as they could be styled differently. I can imagine the second one with a flowery flowing tea dress ad the first one with denim pencil skirts, etc. What kind of look are you after with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123345 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:58:40 +0000 Angie 123345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should order both and play around in your closet. Comfort will sell the right style to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123337 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:33:40 +0000 Anonymous 123337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both so pretty so I think you should go with the most comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123303 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:04:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 123303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say order both and let comfort decide! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123300 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:02:11 +0000 bella 123300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #2. The spring is just around the corner and the second pair looks more cheerful, spring-y to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123276 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:44:31 +0000 shana 123276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the styling on the second pair - the pointy, sort of up-turned toe on the first pair is a little strange to me. How about the second pair in the cognac color? That would be a more versatile although I really like the light gray color as well - it might be just the thing for spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123263 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:58:17 +0000 Ele 123263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, tough one. I agree that the first pair would be more versatile in terms of colour, but I prefer the styling of the second pair. Not helpful, I know. Sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123261 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:56:24 +0000 April 123261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari -- what is your size? I bought a pair of new-in-box Clark's Indigo black heeled oxfords on eBay, and they don't work for my foot. No returns on eBay. I would be glad to pass them along to someone who could use them, though. </p> <p>They have only been worn as long as it took to try them on and curse myself for not finding a pair to try on IRL before buying. Never been out of the house.</p> <p>The size is 7, but they are more like a 6.5. The eBay notice announced that, and it was correct. Style is Wembley, here they are in brown: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7416308/c/90532.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7416308/c/90532.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123260 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:54:00 +0000 RoseandJoan 123260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a slight preference for the simplicity of the second pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123254 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:18:16 +0000 Louise 123254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thye both look great but agree the colour of the first pair would perhaps get more use x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-oxford#post-123237 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 06:00:40 +0000 Kari 123237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been mulling over the idea of adding a low-heeled oxford to my shoe collection and I've found two possible options that both look appealing and are within the price range I've been considering:</p> <p>1. <a href="http://www.endless.com/Nicole-Womens-Open-Heeled-Oxford/dp/B002A902BG/ref=sr_1_1/?cAsin=B002A901SK&amp;fromPage=search&amp;qid=1265261996401&amp;sr=1-1&amp;asins=B002A901SK,B002EDZX94,B001A5TD0W,B002ECFCI2,B002EE3YZI,B001HSNFTM,B0019GKHNE,B0019GO5LO,B0017392N0,B002GJXL3Q,B002A9I7JK,B002HJT260,B001P5H2MS,B0026L6GG8,B0012MMW4W,B002BA5JRQ,B001CJRFXI,B002B9464O,B001K3HXIS,B0023RRDR6,B001U89A8O,B0026L5VGY,B0026L75B8,B001UV4HB6,B002GJQIHW,B0026L6CDU,B001UV4AC2,B002IXAQJW,B0026L6WJE,B002SSUMGE,B001TOE9VM,B002DN0WIW,B001CD1UE4,B001CS31UK,B001NYKDJU,B001D07PMC,B0018RIL5U,B0029DPIL2,B0026L752M,B001873JKC&amp;asinTitle=Nicole%20Open%20Up%20Heeled%20Oxford&amp;contextTitle=Search%20Results&amp;page=1&amp;priceHigh=15293&amp;size=40&amp;dept=242169011&amp;node=242169011&amp;nodes=242169011&amp;keywords=oxfords&amp;sort=relevancerank&amp;heelheights=519509011|519510011#tabsAnchor">Nicole Heeled Oxford in Gunmetal</a>.
