In Australia, many senior ladies wear perforated sandals in summer. They tend to be very "sensible" shoes and while very suitable for older ladies, not particularly stylish:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay/page/2#post-791032 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:48:38 +0000 rae 791032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love them in both colors! The black looks very modern and striking. And if the color is not as yellow IRL, then they should bookend your pretty hair. I've never heard of the perforated-old lady connection before... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay/page/2#post-791016 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:35:40 +0000 Inge 791016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only just saw this, Deborah, but wanted to say that the light colour looks brilliant in all the ways you have styled the shoes. I think the black might be a bit harsh and am very much loving the sound of the blue grey. Keep us posted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay/page/2#post-791011 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:32:49 +0000 Deborah 791011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ladies I so appreciate ALL your thoughts and Angie thank you so much for chiming in here. With such mixed opinions I was truly hoping you would:). In a state of utter confusion last night I took some more photos, just of the shoes, and reassessed the color. They are a little warmer in color than usual for me BUT they are not throwing yellow IRL. The catalogue photo #3 is a more accurate representation of the actual color, so I think the lighting has not represented the color well. I will try them again today and make a final decision. I am considering now returning the black and trying the blue grey.</p> <p>Shannon in answer to your question, yesterday when I tried them on in the store and at home, I loved them, however the mixed opinions have swayed me a little. I love the shoe, I just need to be sure of the color:)</p> <p>Thank you SO much for your patience and help with these. xxxDeborah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay/page/2#post-790863 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:48:51 +0000 texstyle 790863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The style doesn't seem "old lady" to me and I also think they look great with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790747 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:37:26 +0000 catgirl 790747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the light but the tone is throwing me off - they look warmer than the colors you usually wear, and I'm not one to notice such things normally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790741 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:33:56 +0000 Kiwichik 790741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The nude colour look more summery and go well with skirts or brighter/lighter coloured pants. I don't like them with the black pants but prefer them with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790671 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:32:02 +0000 sarah 790671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie. I love #5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790615 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:31:27 +0000 Angie 790615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the light colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790592 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:45:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 790592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting - I don't find them yellow at all but almost more of a silver sheen. I actually really like them on you Deborah. It might be a colour that just doesn't translate well in a photo? How do you like them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790588 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:41:17 +0000 Tina.b 790588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoy the the look of perforated shoes. The one pair I have I wear often and they are one of my favs. They are black though, but I'm a confirmed lover of everything black.. I prefer the black on you here as well. The nude colour seems a bit off. Love your outfits here, you have great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790583 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:25:04 +0000 Suz 790583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think grey ones would be perfect in your summer wardrobe. Maybe you will get lucky!! I agree with the others that they are a bit on the yellowish side IRL, although they definitely look like your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790517 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:28:42 +0000 Atlantia 790517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love them with the last outfit, but I would love them even more if they were dove grey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790516 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:11:06 +0000 Deborah 790516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish you are right! I do cool so much better than warm. I couldn't see it until Beth Ann mentioned it:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790515 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:09:33 +0000 kkards 790515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>looking at the light shoes alone, i thought the shoes were a big nothing. but seeing them styled with the all black outfit, i thought wow! with the skirt, i thought they were ok. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790513 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 10:35:37 +0000 krishnidoux 790513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking the same as Beth Ann but couldn't have put it in such good words. For me too, it's the shade of the light ones that bother me. It seems you're a "cool" lady and these are "warm", if you know what I mean. The perforation, however, did not foment any old lady evocation to me. However, I do agree the black ones have a "younger" vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790503 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 07:52:16 +0000 Deborah 790503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann and Lyn that is a very good point. Yes they are more yellow based and I don't do yellow! I think this is a deal breaker. I'm inclined to keep the black though. I think these came in a grey too, I might return and see if there were any other lighter options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790484 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 06:19:05 +0000 Lyn D. 790484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm- I think Beth Anne has a point here.<br /> How do they look with lighter colours? Do you intend to wear with mainly black?<br /> Given your outfit choices in the added pics I am back-pedalling and thinking that the black might be a better option? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790480 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 06:01:05 +0000 Beth Ann 790480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love high-vamp summer shoes, but I'm not loving the yellow tone of the nude against your rosier skin tone (at least in my monitor), and the black, while I like them better, aren't appealing to me as much as a lot of the footwear in your wardrobe (that I love). That said, if they're comfy and you love them, I know that you will make them shine with your styling abilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790436 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:50:55 +0000 Deborah 790436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your honesty. It seems there is a relatively even split of opinion here. I have quickly thrown on a couple of outfits to demonstrate how I see the shoes working. Let me know what you think:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790418 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:11:57 +0000 annagybe 790418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer them in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790414 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:05:40 +0000 Lyn D. 790414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them Deborah!<br /> I think the heel-shape banishes any 'old lady' vibes, and I actually prefer them in the nude colour- more Summery feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790410 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:03:56 +0000 lyn* 790410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'd vote nay on these - I'm sort of against the whole perforated look; so please take my words with a grain of salt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790398 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:48:37 +0000 JR 790398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not automatically against perforations, far from it, but these definitely read old lady to me. Real old lady. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790380 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:27:57 +0000 Deborah 790380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies. I will put together an outfit to post for you and see what you think. I really like them but I am at the mercy of your wise counsel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790375 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:25:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 790375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we see them with an outfit Deborah for a better idea of the overall look? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790359 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:08:54 +0000 Glory 790359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean about perforated shoes but I don't get that vibe from these. The colour is more modern and the sip up the back is cool. I think you will get lots of use out of these. They look very soft. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790356 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:06:40 +0000 Sveta 790356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like what I see and I like them in a light color. The remind me a bit of my nude wedge sandals which were real workhorses last summer and bumped any outfit up a notch.<br /> And perforation will be a cool factor in summer heat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790351 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:03:31 +0000 sarah 790351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them - I think for you and given the high vamp, I would pick the nude (leg-lengthening, bookending).</p> <p>Are these pikolinos? They remind me of them, if not. Anyway, I think they're great, and I have no old-lady associations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-new-shoes-yaynay#post-790348 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 03:01:29 +0000 missvee 790348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them much better in black, and with the back zip there's no way they look too "mature" </p>
