For me, though, I'm more self-concious about shiny metals, as my taste runs more toward matte ones. That's why I like Vildy's suggestion. I haven't tried covering or toning down metal hardware, but it's nice to know it has worked for her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-976048 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:48:03 +0000 Susie 976048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess it's not just mixing it with jewelry (and I do have some two tone&nbsp;pieces and occasionally wear both silver and gold.) Maybe it's weird but&nbsp;I have this thing...in my mind, gray and black "go" with silver. Creams and browns go with gold.&nbsp;So with my neutrals being black, gray, white and a bit of navy, gold doesn't "go" with those clothes.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sure that is a very dated thought process so I'm going to listen to those of you who say mix away!</p> <p>I really do like everything about them, assuming that they are comfortable, so I think I will try them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-976018 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 21:32:02 +0000 Aziraphale 976018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the gold would bother me personally, but only because I don't like red leather with gold hardware. &nbsp;But I have no problem with mixing metals in general. &nbsp;If you like the gold studs, I wouldn't worry about the fact that most of your jewellery is silver. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975976 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 20:41:11 +0000 Thistle 975976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I don't mind mixing metals.&nbsp; Especially something as far apart as shoes and jewlery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975961 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 20:28:10 +0000 biscuitsmom 975961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they're comfy and you like how they work with your wardrobe, go for it!

I don't think it would bother me, but you have to be comfortable with it yourself.

Worked great.&nbsp; Something like model paint may work well. </p> <p>Years ago, I used to use something called Rub N Buff that worked really well to change metal colors, though you get a more matte, antiqued look, which is what I was going after. Pretty sure they still make that.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975765 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:35:06 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 975765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are too cute, and tick off too many items on your list - I say get them, try them on with your stuff, then decide </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975744 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:16:48 +0000 TraceyLiz65 975744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like matching metals on necklaces and earrings more so than purses or shoes. &nbsp;I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975733 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 17:09:49 +0000 rachylou 975733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great shoe!</p> <p>Often I'm a metal matcher, but you know with these shoes...

I agree the gold works better with that red than silver would, but I know I would find myself passing them up constantly because I would feel like they just didn't "go" with most of what I wear.

And the shoes aren't, like,&nbsp;<i>covered</i> in gold studs or anything. I have shoes with silver on them, and I wear primarily gold jewelry, but in the end,&nbsp;<b>you</b> have to be okay with it. If it bothers you deep down, then you won't wear them as much as you would if the studs were silver.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975605 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:32:20 +0000 K. Period. 975605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think metal mixing depends on your tolerance. I don't mind it (my watch is mixed and I've had it for 15 years), but I remember Angie saying she can't do it herself. &nbsp;Would it really bug you? Or are you concerned that it will bug others? If it is the first, then don't buy. If it is the second, then buy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975597 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:24:37 +0000 Anonymous 975597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think metal mixing is totally fine now, and these studs would be far away from your silver jewellery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-this-bother-you#post-975596 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:23:08 +0000 Susie 975596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been looking for a red shoe.
