I figured I'd just generally swap them in for my black shoes, glad to hear it works. The soles of the black ones are done in, especially at the heels. And I don't think resoling is an option. I think I'll relegate them towards the "going out" capsule. Can't have people trampling on my new shoes and the black ones are still good for infrequent wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492930 Sun, 17 May 2015 22:24:59 +0000 Gaylene 1492930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously cute oxfords, Astrid. I love the juxtaposition of the feminine laces with the masculine vibe of the oxford. You were looking for footwear to add a bit of spice to your classics and I think you scored with these. And I can't think of any of your outfits that wouldn't work with them--well, let me backup, maybe not your bikini! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492924 Sun, 17 May 2015 22:09:50 +0000 Astrid 1492924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Denise. :)</p> <p>Thanks Daria - they're hard to photograph so I can understand why the seller didn't get the color right in the pics. But I like taupe, so it worked out well. </p> <p>Thanks Karymk! Yes, you're right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492887 Sun, 17 May 2015 21:15:01 +0000 karymk 1492887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your oxfords Astrid and I wouldn't worry about bookending everything or you'd drive yourself crazy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492869 Sun, 17 May 2015 20:22:04 +0000 Daria 1492869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it Astrid. Funnily, I too have oxfords that I bought thinking they were grey, but are much more like taupe. I think they go with pretty much everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492866 Sun, 17 May 2015 19:54:29 +0000 CocoLion 1492866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the contrast between the shoes and tights. &nbsp;And I think the shoes DO bookend with your natural coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492856 Sun, 17 May 2015 18:41:01 +0000 Astrid 1492856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachylou and Summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492839 Sun, 17 May 2015 17:13:03 +0000 Summer 1492839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks good to me, Astrid. &nbsp;I know we are talking shoes here, but I just love that dress on you - so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492798 Sun, 17 May 2015 15:27:48 +0000 rachylou 1492798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look good to me!

You don't remove the laces, just tuck them. I now wear my tie shoes this way and find it more comfortable on my fussy feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492778 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:48:04 +0000 Astrid 1492778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy! But, &nbsp;tucking in the laces? I think the laces are the best thing about the shoes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492776 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:45:07 +0000 Anonymous 1492776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the oxfords. The grey is dark enough on my screen to look like black lite. For a different, more streamlined look, can you tuck in the laces? I think Angie had a blog post on it some time ago and will try to link.<br /> If I can't copy the link, put in "tucked shoelaces" in the Blog search box </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492771 Sun, 17 May 2015 14:37:51 +0000 Astrid 1492771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn and Approprio! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492702 Sun, 17 May 2015 09:52:14 +0000 approprio 1492702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fine to me. Colours all harmonise on my screen and the big laces add a nice feminine touch. That's such a pretty dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492697 Sun, 17 May 2015 09:17:38 +0000 lyn67 1492697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love taupe Oxfords here with the black opaques, as they match some lighter patterns on the dress, and bookend your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492689 Sun, 17 May 2015 08:53:45 +0000 Astrid 1492689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Karin!</p> <p>Thanks Dee. I think I will definitely take them. I think it won't be easy to create a minimal travel capsule for the week, but I'll try. I might do a post if I have time.</p> <p>Thanks Eva! The best thing is, they're made in Germany...</p> <p>Thanks Sharan! Nude fishnets have been suggested to me before, but it's not something I've really seen in retail. I do need new hose for the trip, so we'll see what I come up with next week. I added a picture of the shoes in natural lighting below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492643 Sun, 17 May 2015 04:31:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1492643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you wear the oxfords very nicely with a dress--it's a good look. Thanks for enlightening us on the color, because it is so hard to tell on screen. I wonder if you might be able to wear lighter stockings, too--maybe nude fishnets? For another option--I like the black tights, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492563 Sat, 16 May 2015 23:58:28 +0000 E 1492563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new oxfords are great! I love the colour &amp; the laces &amp; feel myself turning a bit green. And I'm sure they bookend your hair very well. I'm not fussy about tights/shoes combinations, so don't really feel qualified to advise you much, but this looks good to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492533 Sat, 16 May 2015 21:58:52 +0000 Dee 1492533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look fine with the dress and would work well at a conference. The color comes across more grey than taupe to me but definitely a bit lighter than the rest of your outift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492517 Sat, 16 May 2015 20:52:33 +0000 Karin L H 1492517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the shoes, I think it looks nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492512 Sat, 16 May 2015 20:25:44 +0000 Astrid 1492512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think they're great SSu shoes. :)</p> <p>Thanks Diane! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492506 Sat, 16 May 2015 19:48:47 +0000 Anonymous 1492506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, they're really nice! I think the lightness of them picks up the light tones of your dress as well as your hair. I like the bow detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492473 Sat, 16 May 2015 17:34:58 +0000 columbine(erin) 1492473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! They are showing up grey on my screen. But it sounds like they work really well and harmoniously with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492469 Sat, 16 May 2015 17:26:07 +0000 Astrid 1492469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Columbine! I can see what you mean - the camera always brings out golden or reddish undertones in my hair that aren't visible IRL. Of course the shoes don't match my hair color exactly, but it definitely looks harmonious when I look in the mirror. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492465 Sat, 16 May 2015 17:21:31 +0000 columbine(erin) 1492465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Te be honest I find myself wishing they bookended your hair...but maybe I'm just influenced by how the colors are showing up on my screen. I do love that dress on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---new-taupe-oxfords#post-1492458 Sat, 16 May 2015 17:02:20 +0000 Astrid 1492458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a FFBO, but I'm wearing the new taupe oxfords with the dress and cardigan. It's definitely a different look compared to the black shoes. </p> <p>Do you think it works? I really have to figure out soon what to pack for a seven days city trip/conference and it would be good to know whether the new shoes work with a skirt/dress and hose as well as with pants. </p> <p>Thanks. </p>
