I think they would look best with a skinny black ankle pant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353553 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 06:48:27 +0000 Vicki 1353553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Farting? &nbsp;Zombie-look? I'm laughing at the stylish comedian in you, because you look well-rested and great. &nbsp;First, I really like the outfit you wore (polkadots and denim shorts) and if the oxfords hadn't been so noisy, I would say "keep," however, it's one of those unfixable things (I had to return my snakeskin booties for a similar reason as there was constant clicking inside the heel that never went away). &nbsp;I can see you parting easier with the black ones, due to the height/wearability and the primary fact that they don't read "Marley" as much. &nbsp;You've made a good call on both. &nbsp;The only other possibility would be to try a foot petal or insert to see if that softened the "sound" of your foot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353549 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 06:38:17 +0000 Marley 1353549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, thank you girlfriends for confirming for me that the black sandals are just not "me." &nbsp;They are perfectly fine shoes - well made and comfy - but something is not working for me. &nbsp;I posted them over on Style Exchange if someone wants to take them off my hands - free - just pay for shipping.</p> <p>Also - get this! When I was shopping for the black sandals I narrowed it down to this pair and one other pair that I liked much better. &nbsp;I had just gotten my new iphone and I wanted to try the YLF app - so I thought I'd post a thread on the forum asking which one I should buy (just so I could see how that app worked - not really wanting anyone's opinion on the shoes, because I already knew which ones I wanted!) &nbsp;Well, Angie was the only person that responded that day (where were all of YOU????) - AND, she picked the ones (pictured above) over the others that I actually liked better! &nbsp;So, I figured I must be really "off" in knowing what looked &nbsp;best on me&nbsp;- and so I left the ones that I liked best at the store and brought these home instead. &nbsp;That's the one and only time I've ever asked the forum for their opinion on which item I should buy! &nbsp;Hahaha! &nbsp;And, I can blame it on Angie! &nbsp;,-)</p> <p>Thimbelina - you crack me up - "flat in flatulence" and "a woman in need of prilosec as you waft through the wine bar . . . !" &nbsp;Hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353546 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 06:17:31 +0000 AJ 1353546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style, Marley! I think your reasons to purge both pairs are right.</p> <p>Please post more WIWs!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353239 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:49:08 +0000 L'Abeille 1353239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I first read the title as shoes to wear to an audition... I guess they sang for you alright! Otherwise they do look great. The sandals, meh.</p> <p>Wish I looked as good after 4 hours of sleep... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353222 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:25:21 +0000 catgirl 1353222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe too arty/decorative? I know what I mean but I can't express it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353220 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:24:37 +0000 DonnaF 1353220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad the noisy shoes aren't the sandals, as I really like the oxfords on you.&nbsp; Hope the silencing suggestions work.&nbsp; The sandals are nice, but don't say *Marley* to me.&nbsp; I expect edgier.&nbsp; Or something.&nbsp; I wish I could place my finger on it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353218 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:19:38 +0000 Aida 1353218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw too bad about the oxfords, they look soooo good (I'm on the hunt for a similar pair, but preferably less noisy ). The second pair, somehow, reads as too classic for you; I thought perhaps "pretty" as Una said, but that doesn't quite seem right either. Not sure what it is, but it's too&nbsp;<i>something</i>. If you were to wear this cute outfit again with shoes that don't irk you, what would you choose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353209 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:01:39 +0000 shedev 1353209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about the rude shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353189 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:09:57 +0000 thimblelina 1353189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hahaha... I am laughing... Marley: those oxfords put the FLATs in flatulence!! They are very cute but if they make you appear a woman in need of prilosec as you waft through the wine bar of life THEY MUST GO!!! You always look so cute. Jealous! xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353184 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:06:34 +0000 Angie_T 1353184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've heard of shoes that talk when you walk, but never shoes that toot!&nbsp; <br />But they are GREAT shoes. I second Neelie's suggestion to try to fill up the space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353181 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:05:24 +0000 Suz 1353181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in both these outfits. Love the blouse on you and especially like look #1. But rude shoes have got to go. As for the second ones, they are just fine but don't say Marley to me for some reason.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353180 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:05:10 +0000 texstyle 1353180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Una said ;-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353173 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:54:32 +0000 Neelie 1353173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flats, so sad about the noise...maybe it could be remedied with a small arch support inside to fill up the empty space? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353161 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:39:04 +0000 Anonymous 1353161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those oxfords, but we can't wear shoes that make rude noises! &nbsp;I agree with Una about your sandals - perfectly nice looking , but don't strike me as interesting enough for your look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353159 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:35:59 +0000 catgirl 1353159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both these looks are magazine worthy but gassy oxfords are a no no! And to be honest those shoes just do not say "Marley" to me. They are like a hybrid of cage sandals and something else that I can't put my finger on. Pretty? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-auditioning-shoes#post-1353157 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 19:32:39 +0000 Marley 1353157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casual: &nbsp;the story of my life. &nbsp;</p> <p>First rendition of outfit was worn while working at home and then going to grocery store<br />.<br />Second was worn to pick up my DH at train station and then get a glass of wine at pier - train station is at pier - so didn't involve much walking.</p> <p>I am in the middle of doing a major purge this month - not just with clothes, but with everything. &nbsp;The two pairs of shoes featured in this outfit were shoes that were in my donate bag - but I couldn't remember for sure why I'd put them there and so I decided to get them out and wear them yesterday for part of the day and see if that would remind me of the reasons for thinking I was going to ditch them. &nbsp;Well, it didn't take long - the white oxfords made a farting sound when I walked - I kid you not! &nbsp;Its as though air gets trapped under the arch of my foot when I lift it, and then squeaks out when I step back down on my foot! &nbsp;EV-ER-Y-TIME! &nbsp;Back in the donate bag!</p> <p>The 2nd pair (black heeled sandals) have never excited me - they are kind of high - but not uncomfortable and I could probably wear them around 4 hours tops as long as I didn't have to do a lot of walking. &nbsp;I'm not sure if I gave them a fair shot yesterday, because I don't like them with this outfit - they just look quite mundane to me and the heel looks too high for the rest of the outfit &nbsp;- and they don't seem to be interesting enough for my liking.</p> <p>&nbsp;What do you all think? &nbsp;Should I try them with a different type of outfit before deciding?</p> <p>Navy blouse with small white polka dots - Old Navy<br />Denim Shorts - Paige<br />Belt - GAP<br />Shoes - can't remember</p> <p>Thank you for your suggestions - and sorry about the zombie look on my face - I was operating on 4 hours of sleep yesterday and I just couldn't fake it! &nbsp;:-)</p>
