I am glad you decided to keep the white loafers. I think they really work with your style. I especially love the ensemble with your white blazer. Fab, absolutely fab! mtnsofthemoon on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003813 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 00:19:02 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 2003813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ohhhhh Katerina they sound devine!  What a find. I am a little obsessed with Bellestone frame handbags.  One day I may actually let the $$ go and purchase one.  They are lovely.   Many of the Bellestone handbags came with a matching mirror and coin purse.  Sounds similar to you black one.   Katerina on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003714 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 13:33:06 +0000 Katerina 2003714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you All for looking and for the advice. So much love for the white shoes, wow. They will stay.  Mtnsofthemoon, both the black frame handbag and the white handbag are from a consignment store. I found them for about ten years ago and I think they are both from the 60ies. The black one is English made, beautifully crafted and it was in pristine condition when I bought it. It is lined with creme suede and there is one of those matching small mirrors in leather A real fun vintage bag. Second hand shops could be a great source of these kinds of bags.     Katerina on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003710 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 13:22:27 +0000 Katerina 2003710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much, Angie.

They do give a bit of a retro look, so your eye might have to adjust? They look fantastic. mtnsofthemoon on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003598 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 23:13:14 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 2003598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely LOVE the orange trousers and the white shoes (love the black shoes too).  But we MUST talk about that black frame handbag!!!  I want to steal it from you, hehehe.  I am obsessed with that style bag.  Your white handbag is pretty too and I really like the white jacket with the ensemble in #5!!!!  Absolutely SMASHING!!!   Bennett on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003558 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 20:36:25 +0000 Bennett 2003558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The black heel and sole make this the ideal white shoe for you, like Sal said. I like them with white someplace else in your outfit, like the white handbag, or a scarf with some white in the print, or bangles or a necklace...? No kidding, I sat bolt upright when I saw these shoes!  Angie on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003544 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 18:29:52 +0000 Angie 2003544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 to #5 are KILLER. Go for it, Katerina! I find the look VERY flattering,  Katerina on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003538 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 18:20:40 +0000 Katerina 2003538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you ALL very much for looking and for the advice. Lot of love for the white loafers here! I am leaning towards keeping them. Pros: like the shape. The heel is the perfect height with most of my trousers. I was hoping to achieve some modernization of my look - which seems to be achieved, as you guys think they are retro modern looking. Cons: despite loving white footwear on others, like Angie, UmmLila, Joy, Bijou, Kkards and other stylish Fabbers, I am also a slow starter (like you Kkards) - need to get used to this for myself. Not as universally flattering on me due to hair colour, but that I don’t mind.

I think you'll enjoy wearing white shoes as it gets closer to spring, especially if you have other whites to pair them with. I even tried on some white booties (watching Angie faint in surprise). They had dealbreaking silver hardware, but won't rule out other options.

The square toe is everything.... I think you should trust your first instincts, let your eye adjust to light footwear. Super cutting edge shoes! Liking the interesting necklace in place of a scarf on occasion. Fresh!!!!

The turquoise necklace is a lovely piece. I like the outfits best without the jacket. VERY figure flattering. kkards on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003489 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 13:15:02 +0000 kkards 2003489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ love the white shoes....and from one fellow dark shoe person to another, i'll admit it took me a while to get on the band wagon...but at least for me, the white boots i bought this year became instant outfit updaters... Kathie on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003482 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 12:26:33 +0000 Kathie 2003482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I’m not a fan of white shoes, but agree with everyone else, these are great, and the general shape and square toe is perfect for your style. I particularly love them with the white jacket. The only tweak I might make to that outfit is either a long-sleeved blouse, or a lighter colored one, so that the line of the sleeve hem isn’t so obvious. That said, this statement gives me pause, “I think my usual black or darker footwear agrees better with my style.” If you think that long term you wouldn’t gravitate to them, I’d return.

I'm not usually a fan of white shoes either, but they look fab. I love their retro vibe and also the black heel which, to my eye, grounds them and bookends your hair.

I agree with all the above comments, these are fantastic and I can see as the weather warms up, you will enjoy having the lighter footwear. Very fun with your white jacket that looks nice and lightweight for the warmer weather. Those orange trousers are beautiful on you - great fit and the colour!  Jaime on "WIW Orange trousers, and keep or return white shoes?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-orange-trousers-and-keep-or-return-white-shoes#post-2003434 Sun, 17 Feb 2019 03:14:09 +0000 Jaime 2003434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The white shoes are fantastic!

Why not have the additional options white shoes can provide? Keep. They will give you more stuff to play with.
