That is a fab cost in 3/4 - I like the dip in the back too! Good luck on the silver/grey oxford hunt too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358833 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 13:42:19 +0000 Quietgirl 1358833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>chic, chic, chic! I am looking for some oxfords&nbsp;myself. They are like hens teeth (impossible to find) in my size!&nbsp; Love that top! Where do you find your fabric?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358823 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 13:10:23 +0000 AnnieMouse 1358823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that shirt you made!<br />(And obviously, I'm a fan of the shoes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358759 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 05:56:30 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1358759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I appreciate your comments and encouragement. </p> <p>Elizabeth, I did not try the Vince Camuto pair. I thought they ran narrow, and I wasn't looking for patent--that said, I did order Doc Martens in a similar color of patent leather (although I returned them). I <i>think</i> I've found what I'm looking for, but I have to wait to see them in person (I've ordered them)--the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/08/04/fab-find-noat-kedma-flat-oxford/" rel="nofollow">Naot Kedma that Angie featured</a>, which turned up in a gray shimmer leather. And I'm hanging on to the Paul Green Addly in taupe, which I also really, really like. I'll only keep one pair, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358692 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 02:44:27 +0000 Jaime 1358692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your old oxfords look perfectly current and terrific in these outfits. I especially like them with the long blue jeans - or maybe it is just fun to see people wearing full length jeans after so long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358662 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 01:55:49 +0000 Elizabeth P 1358662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FC, have you tried the Vince Camuto oxfords? I keep meaning to ask, so my apologies if I have already. I recently got them, they are awesome. Wore them all day, no socks, right out of the box. They are a grey patent rather than metallic, but I actually like that, less "in your face". </p> <p>Oh, and you look amazing, as always... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358605 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 23:57:04 +0000 K. Period. 1358605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. &nbsp;It is so nice to have an item that already works while you are looking for its replacement. &nbsp;These are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358541 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 22:50:59 +0000 Tanya 1358541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great, and I especially like the version in #3. The oxfords look great with the white jeans, great color pairing. And I know that they are comfy too, as I have them in a lighter color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358531 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 22:38:12 +0000 shedev 1358531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The oxfords look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358526 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 22:34:11 +0000 Angie 1358526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super, Sharan. I especially like #3 and #4. Enjoy those old oxfords. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358491 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 21:58:00 +0000 Karie 1358491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weathered tan oxfords look great with the white jeans. Your KUTs fit you like mine fit me - a true BF fit. I wasn't sure if I cared for that at first, but now I love it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both outfits are fab but #1 is my fav. The blue and gray in your top looks fantastic with your white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358489 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 21:55:16 +0000 Anonymous 1358489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the t and jacket pairing in 5 and 6 - and that handbag is fantastic! &nbsp;What a unique piece - adds such a personal touch to an outfit. &nbsp;Beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358483 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 21:51:26 +0000 kellygirl 1358483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely enjoy those oxfords. They look fab in both outfits. In most cases, I'm really drawn to the high contrast white bottoms with the brown but I like the low contrast equally in your case. The low contrast darks look so rich and luxe! Good luck on the hunt for metallic oxfords. I think those are going to be a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. You can't wear the Paul Green sandal booties in the winter where you live anyway! &nbsp;Fab x 2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-oxfords-i-have#post-1358472 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 21:39:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1358472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm continuing to audition metallic or taupe oxfords to add to my wardrobe. Meanwhile, I have these tan Born Arlettas (three or four years old) that are easy to wear, especially now that I have a tan belt and a couple of bags that coordinate with them. </p> <p>The outfits:</p> <p>1-3 (worn for a day off, and a trip to see the otters--otherwise known as a visit to the aquarium!): white boyfriend jeans (Kut from the Kloth, Catherine); blue, slate gray, taupe and off-white blurry-print knit top (made by me); tan belt (Trafalgar); weathered tan oxfords (Born, Arletta); brown stone and silver necklace (gift); hammered silver half-hoop earrings (Marjorie Baer); olive jacket (Laundry by Shelli Segal); navy and tan satchel (Dooney &amp; Bourke). I rolled the pant legs this time; they looked a little short to wear down, as in the previous day's post. </p> <p>4-8 (worn for a day off and piano lesson): black and white strip knit tee (Caslon); black, gray, and white snakeskin print cotton cardigan (Foxcroft); tan belt (Trafalgar); dark straight-leg jeans (Kut from the Kloth, Stevie); weathered tan oxfords (Born, Arletta); brushed silver dangle hoops (Marjorie Baer); black packable travel coat (Cole Haan); black and brown snake print cross body bag (Aimee Kestenberg). I showed the back of the coat, as it has a tie that I really like, and the hem dips down in back. </p> <p>Thanks for looking! Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome! </p>
