Something like these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/115758.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....115758.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/105252.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....105252.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/107894.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....107894.jpg</a></p> <p>I am all for the cool colors. But I think I tend more toward the cognac colored ones at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283840 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:26:41 +0000 Evie 283840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think cognac works with all colors because I don't consider it a color, like brown. Cognac is more like a "skin-tone", a neutral that pairs with anything. Whereas brown is a real color. I'm not sure if that makes sense? So it goes with black, brown, white, red,...Can't think of anything that it wouldn't go well with. Okay, maybe bad weather... :)</p> <p>If you decide not to get a neutral pair (black or cognac imo), think about "your" colors. Which ones do you find yourself looking good in? I think the only color-color shoes I could wear for 50% of the time is blue, because I consider it my color. I want more colors, of course, but not for everyday wearing. What are your colors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283830 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:13:32 +0000 Astrid 283830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lynn, what color would you choose? I don't know if I want to invest so much money. I still want some sandals for summer and I won't be able to compromise much with them, because I will lucky to find ones that fit, anyway.</p> <p>Evie, I like the ones with the reptilian optic, too. Not so enthusiastic about the ones with the white stripe. The purple ones are an option, although I don't think of it as a basic color. And I don't like to pair purple and red.<br /> You got why I thought about the cognac, I think it would work really well with spring colors and more colorful outfits. I thought I couldn't wear them with black, but I'm always a little hesitant when it comes to pair black and brown. But I would definitely wear the ballet flats with bare legs most of the time. I don't like the look of ballet flats with tights all that much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283821 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:01:01 +0000 Evie 283821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the "Buffalo Ballerina in Reptil-Optik in schwarz". <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/107889.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....107889.jpg</a> They're black, but not boring. And the black ones with a white stripe around the outer edges are different and fun also. <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/106595.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....106595.jpg</a><br /> Can you wear the purple ones with your non-black clothing or do you feel that another color would be a better choice?<br /> From colors, I like cognac (but not brown), it would nicely bookend your hair and definitely be spring-appropriate, light and totally cute.</p> <p>I think my favorites are reptil-optik and cognac. Cognac will work with your black outfits, as long as you're not wearing black tights </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283819 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:00:26 +0000 lynn 283819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for the ruffled if you can afford them...you'll be glad you did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283818 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:00:26 +0000 Astrid 283818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, red is a good idea - if they had a red pair in their range. I think I would like some red shoes in principle, but I want to buy a pair there because of my store credit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283813 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:53:22 +0000 Anonymous 283813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about red? Is that an option? I have red flats that I wear with everything during the spring and summer. They replace black flats 85% of the time and add a nice pop of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283807 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:42:28 +0000 Astrid 283807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ruffled ones, too, but they are too expensive. I agree about the ones that curl up, I don't like them either.</p> <p>I wore the black ballet flats a lot because black was a basic color for me. But I find that I'm not so much into it now as I once was. I wore my black boots all through winter and I feel like I don't want such a "heavy" color with the brighter and lighter spring colors. But I also own three black dresses and three black skirts and black ballet flats would be better with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283795 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 14:11:38 +0000 April 283795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the ones with a scrunchy ruffle across the toe, and I don't like any of the ones that curl up like slippers -- does that help? </p> <p>If you wear black ballet flats a lot, I would replace the battered pair. Worn out shoes always drag down an outfit (channeling Clinton Kelly here, but he's right). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-pair-of-ballet-flats#post-283777 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 12:42:41 +0000 Astrid 283777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Buffalo has finally got new ballet flats in their collection. I still have some store credit I wanted to use for ages, but their shoes (other than the ballet flats) are too expensive for my taste (and have often too much heel). </p> <p>Now I need your help to decide which pair to get, because I'm not really sure what color is best for my wardrobe and for spring. I unfortunately cannot link directly to it, but when you go to <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/index_de.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/index_de.html</a>, then to "Damen" and then to "Ballerinas" you should see an overview of their ballet flats.</p> <p>I already have two pairs (black and purple), similar to these:<br /> <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/88735.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop...../88735.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/105249.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....105249.jpg</a></p> <p>Although the black ones are battered. Should I get the black ones to replace my old pair? Or wear the old pair a bit longer and maybe get another color to wear with my non-black clothing?</p> <p>I like the cognac and brown ones, but I don't know if they would fit in with the colors I normally wear:</p> <p><a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/100280.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....100280.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/94633.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop...../94633.jpg</a></p> <p>I know that animal print is really in at the moment, but I'm not sure I could pair them with all my patterned things:</p> <p><a href="http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop/PicProductFront/110259.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloshop.de/Shop.....110259.jpg</a></p> <p>What do you think? Any ideas? Oh, and please vote only on pairs for 50€, because I don't want to pay too much additionally. I'm curious about your suggestions! </p>
