I wear this type of shoe without them, if wearing skinnies. I think Angie uses a no show sock with this type of shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-600590 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 10:30:43 +0000 Astrid 600590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Louise!

I reallly like this one too. Also thanks for the sock recommendation, I'll definitely try these - they look like they would work well for my purpose without being too uncomfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-600476 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 04:00:26 +0000 Scarlet 600476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I REALLY like this outfit! I didn't get a chance to comment on your other thread but I thought the pants and the striped shirt were both really nice. I usually wear this kind of sock with my oxfords:<br /> <a href="http://www.falke.com/de/damen/strickstruempfe/soeckchen/falke-family-sneaker.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.falke.com/de/damen/.....eaker.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-600160 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:15:30 +0000 Astrid 600160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Meredith! I definitely like them with ballet flats too, like with the grey ones I wore when I first posted about them.</p> <p>Thanks Sarah! I think that column effect is the way to go, I didn't like it as much when there was a bigger contrast between top and bottom. You have a good point about the nude socks and "pretending", that looks never good. I'll try to pay attention to that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-600152 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:08:28 +0000 Sarah A 600152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the hot pink pants are great with the plaid shirt, very subtle but still a column effect which is quite flattering. I think the oxfords with nude socks is a great plan. I had some oatmeal colored ones some time ago with a bit of fleck in the weave that were amazingly versatile and didnt look like "i am trying to pretend my legs are bare even thought they arent" like nudes sometimes can do.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-600149 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:06:19 +0000 Meredith1953 600149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute pants on you! I think you can style them a variety of ways. They look nice with the oxfords and of course ballet flats are a natural. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-600140 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:56:56 +0000 Astrid 600140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Claire! It was great to get a feel for them. That way I won't feel too self-conscious in the future. I'll definitely go shopping for some fun socks soon. I love to buy fun tights, so why not buying fun socks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599952 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:14:24 +0000 Anonymous 599952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, this looks great! I'm so proud of you for wearing the bright pink pants out (even if it was just to run a few errands--great idea BTW)! The muted palette of the shirt and scarf help tone them down. I love your choice of oxfords with them, and I second the idea to look for some fun "accessory" type socks, perhaps menswear inspired? You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599889 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:54:46 +0000 Astrid 599889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Una! I guess so. I like to wear ballet flats, but only in the summer when it's really warm and then mostly with skirts and bare legs. I get cold feet easily and I wouldn't wear ballet flats when it's cold enough for long pants and a jacket or scarf.</p> <p>Thanks Diana! I definitely prefer real socks too. I think I definitely want to try some that match the pants. This issue really hasn't come up before, because until last fall I mostly wore tights or hose anyway.</p> <p>Thanks Deborah! I'll have to buy some nude stocking socks, I don't have those. </p> <p>Victoria, I guess that would be the best. I'll have to try and see if these work out for me.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! I'll wear them without socks when it's warm enough, hopefully that will be sooner than later! I really want warmer weather...</p> <p>Thanks Jonesy!</p> <p>Thanks Fruitful! I never thought about socks as an accessoire before, I think I need to buy some fun ones. I only have grey, brown or black socks I think. </p> <p>Thanks Aida! I've tried these little socks you mentioned before and was really uncomfortable in them, they never stayed where they were supposed to be. </p> <p>Thanks Helen! No white socks, I agree! ;)</p> <p>Thanks Sarah! I was a little bit proud too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599655 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 03:09:05 +0000 sarah 599655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Astrid, I'm very proud of you for stepping out in these bright jeans. You look adorable!</p> <p>I can't see your socks in the pics. I'm a socks gal, and those little footie things don't work for me, so I match my socks to my shoes, generally, when I have to wear them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599647 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 02:58:54 +0000 HelenInCanada 599647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pants. I'm seeing them as red as well! Strange.</p> <p>Anyway...re: socks. To me, multicoloured socks are fun, or you can go neutral with beige, grey, or navy. As long as they're not white, I think you're good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599565 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:43:24 +0000 Aida 599565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CUTE! I love the green scarf with this. Re the oxfords, I go sockless because I personally don't like to see the socks especially when paired with skinny jeans. If my feet needed socks on a particular day (happens from time to time), I use those little socks that just cover the toes so no socks show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599524 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:47:29 +0000 Fruitful 599524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! I don't wear ballet flats and think the oxfords are very cute and add a great vibe. I think socks are something you can play with. If you want them to be noticed, they can be contrasting. If you want them not noticed (like if you have leg line issues - you don't seem to) wear matching or nude. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599517 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:39:25 +0000 Jonesy 599517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! I have no real opinion about the socks issue :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599494 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:08:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 599494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you Astrid! Very bright and cheerful. I like the pants with the oxfords but agree that nude socks would work best and then no socks when it's warm enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599475 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:14:33 +0000 Victoria 599475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think other ladies had the right idea about the nude socks, that may be the way to go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599471 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:07:06 +0000 Deborah 599471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid this looks great. I am loving these jeans on you. I only wear socks with boots, so with an Oxford and pants I would wear a nude stocking (hose) sock:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599460 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:49:29 +0000 Diana 599460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the oxfords too. I am another who can't wear ballet flats so I'm all about the oxfords. I have to wear socks in them too... I sometimes match to the pants if I have the right color socks, or I wear secret socks or nude colored socks. You could do nude knee highs too but I find real socks more comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599458 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:38:22 +0000 catgirl 599458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these with the oxfords! I think it's a matter of taste since I can't and don't wear ballet flats... they look red on my monitor too. I'm sure they are bright and cheery. You will get used to them, and this is actually a very subtle combo since it looks matched to the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599455 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:25:27 +0000 Astrid 599455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Victoria! Yes, they are a very bright pink, somehow I don't get the color pictured right no matter what I do. I like the idea of wearing them with ballet flats, but it's still too cold for that. I don't have pink socks, so maybe I'll have to buy some. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599451 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:21:30 +0000 Victoria 599451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you said pink? these pants looks red in the picture... i think it looks good but I would change a couple of things(if you don't mind me butting in). I would wear this not with oxfords but with ballet flats, no socks. I don't wear socks at all, except if wear tennis shoes. If you want to wear socks I would try to match the color to the shoes or pants.<br /> I would also take off the scarf, and maybe wear this color in a bag or something like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---first-time-out-with-the-pink-pants-and-a-question#post-599448 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:12:09 +0000 Astrid 599448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore the pink pants outside for the first time today. Only for a few errands, but I wanted to test the waters. I felt a bit self-conscious at first but it got better. What do you think?</p> <p>And I have a question. I only noticed in the pictures just now that my socks look a bit strange with the oxfords and pants. Should I wear colored socks to coordinate with the pants instead? How do you chose the color of your socks? </p>
