I think it is often better to not settle as you can so easily have regrets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780231 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:39:40 +0000 Mo 780231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BJ, happy to any time!! Now I found a code for another 10% off, $38.69 out the door. I think I'm going to just do it. What's $17? That's what waiting and hoping for possible Monday sale would save me. Besides, this is basically what the navy were originally going for. Win/win!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780223 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:22:58 +0000 bj1111 780223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>malina...i need you to shop for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780220 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:11:22 +0000 Mo 780220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am really rolling the dice now. I have decided on purple. That's done. But I found them at 6pm for $43. But that's not all. Cyber Monday Danskos will be part of the sale, up to 70% off. No guarantee this particular style will be on sale, or still there, but there are over a dozen in my size, so I'm feeling good about it.</p> <p>EDIT: and all this neurotic, buy/don't buy, wait, etc behavior is why I end up scoring some really good deals Already the shoe I was prepared to spend $70 on yesterday is now $43. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780128 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:02:36 +0000 Lisa 780128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yay get the color you like best. Everytime I've "settled" with a purchase, I've regretted it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780047 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:48:31 +0000 Auburn 780047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FYI, even if Amazon doesn't price adjust, I wouldn't hesitate to keep them unworn for a week or so and if you see the price plummet, reorder and return the $52 pair. Just make sure they are in fact returnable (most Amazon items are). A nice workaround to the no price adjustment policy. I've threatened to do that at some retailers and suddenly they are willing to make an exception (which just saves the double shipping--a cost THEY usually incur). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780030 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:23:05 +0000 Mo 780030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am getting purple at $52 today and hoping i don't see a screaming deal on them tomorrow lol! Amazon is crazy with pricing. I remember the boots I got for $77 going back up to $250 and never coming back down. It's like I hit a magical price window. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780019 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:19:27 +0000 catgirl 780019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, if these are going to be work wear and you work 35 days, you'll be down to $2 CPW. Get what you want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780016 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:17:38 +0000 bj1111 780016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no, amazon does not price adjust post purchase.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=468502" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/.....eId=468502</a></p> <p>ps: think about your cost per wear. any marginal decrease in price will be more than off set by the frequency with which you wear and the guarantee that you will get the color your prefer. plus, you can return if you don't like them or if you find a cheaper alternative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-780002 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:05:22 +0000 Mo 780002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that's weird - the purple just came down 25% to $52 but the navy went up to $70! (Nordies had the navy at $35 also, so I could still go over there).<br /> I am tempted to hit buy . . . but then I don't know, maybe the black Friday sales are going to affect pricing even more.<br /> Does anyone know if Amazon price adjusts? I can't find it in the automated help search area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more/page/2#post-779560 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:56:24 +0000 Diana 779560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would go for the purple that makes you happy. As others have said, it's only a $35 difference and if you wear them all the time for work, the CPW will go down fast. </p> <p>And I much prefer these to Cons or other flat sneakers with skinnies, FWIW. I mentioned on your previous thread that I don't like the look of Cons with skinnies because they make feet look so long and narrow. The chunkier platform style of Danskos actually makes feet look more normally proportioned to my eye, odd as that may sound. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779554 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:50:47 +0000 TraceyLiz65 779554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will pay more for a color I am coveting as in my red boots from yesterday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779492 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:43:36 +0000 Mo 779492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, Skitt, that is an example of unhelpful input. No offense directly, but we've been discussing constructive criticism lately and so I thought it was worth pointing out. I don't *want* to wear any sneakers with my skinnies, but I *have* to wear good shoes to work in - therefore I have to make the best of what I've got to work with. Here to fore I have done boots and ballet flats and gladiator sandals happily and successfully in my casual skinnies outfits on my own time. But that won't fly working long restaurant hours. Just to make it clear. Again, no offense, but I think I mentioned the uniform need several times.<br /> And, no, my feelings are not hurt! :D</p> <p>EDIT: had you offered up an alternative, less clunky, choice, *that* would have been most helpful! I am still on the look out and open to all suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779303 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:40:33 +0000 rachylou 779303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee, I actually like those Ugg Ashdales...</p> <p>Anyways, I have the slip-on version of those Danskos. I don't much like Danskos for work, tho admittedly I've been wearing my green clogs to the bakery because my tennies need washing... Anyways, I do really like the canvas/rubber Danskos. I'd be willing to shell for the color of my choice.</p> <p>On the other hand, $35 is a really really good price. Second thought, I don't think that can be beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779300 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:38:16 +0000 Charmian 779300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I put in a cautious "nay", because it's not clear to me whether you'd wear this outside of work.</p> <p>Although I typically cheer for "wear clothing that makes you feel fabulous!", the $35 you save can be put towards some non-work threads that could be <em>genuinely</em> fun, instead of simply making the best of a work uniform.</p> <p>That having been said, I'll retract my vote in a heartbeat if you think you'll wear these (purple, squeeeeee!!!) Danskos outside of work. A gal has to feel good about herself, ya know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779295 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:30:22 +0000 catgirl 779295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries, I just wanted to point out that an entire brand (Uggs, Dansko, etc) can't be summarily dismissed. I see plenty of hideous Dansko outfits around here! The professional clogs with skinny capris in summer is a real cringe inducer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779292 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:26:04 +0000 skitt 779292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, there are always exceptions that prove the rule This is actually one of my most favorite inspiration pictures too, but I'm not sure I could ever pull it off: <a href="http://www.aintnomomjeans.com/2011/01/score-another-one-for-danskossigh.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.aintnomomjeans.com/.....ssigh.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779285 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:18:52 +0000 catgirl 779285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Skitt, I wear Danskos with skinnies all the time.

If purple go on sale, I'm pouncing! If not, I will try the navy on for size at the $35 and if they're a go, get the purple down the line, since time is of no consequence price wise.<br /> I do fine in the Easytones, but that was before my ankle sprain. I have only worn them a handful of times, for 5 hour shifts at the golf course, since then. I agree that switching up shoes is much better, and I do. This will be purely for the skinny jean conundrum. I have 3 bootcut pants and jeans I use for uniform, and a straight leg. By contrast, I now have more skinny jeans than anything else in the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779241 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:17:22 +0000 modgrl 779241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried those easytones? I found them hard to walk in.<br /> You may find that you need two pairs of work shoes so you can switch off days. If I wear the same pair of shoes day after day, they wear out fast and they start to smell.<br /> Start with the navy pair. if they are a great fit, you can get the purple and have two pairs of work shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/would-you-pay-double-for-a-color-you-like-more#post-779223 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 14:51:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 779223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can speak for comfort when it comes to Jambu.
