Think velvet- black would be my choice, because black velvet is more than black; it reflects light, as&nbsp;satin does. &nbsp;Lace doesn't have lustre so is defiantly its own colour. Hmm,I'm thinking&nbsp;black lace might be good against the brown. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893969 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:54:31 +0000 Day Vies 893969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the idea of the lace ribbon but I agree that they are too much but only because they are too wide (so they create more volume) I really love the idea of being able to change the ribbons with your outfits. Great idea!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893946 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:32:24 +0000 Diana 893946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Update: could not find velvet or brocade, as I only had time to go to michaels and nowhere fancier. &nbsp;So I got a pale gold, slightly sheer ribbon. &nbsp;Not perfect but it'll do for now. &nbsp;On iPad away from home so no pics right now, sorry. &nbsp;But I'm planning to wear them tomorrow with the outfit above. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893535 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 16:03:56 +0000 Anonymous 893535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes! A narrow brocade ribbon would be perfect! Grosgrain in a pinch if they don't have a brocade. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893509 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:32:26 +0000 Isabel 893509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I&nbsp;<b><i>love&nbsp;</i></b><i></i>the brocade idea !!! &nbsp;I can't wait to see it. ( The outfit is divine, btw )<br /><br />Happy Easter my friend ! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893477 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:54:15 +0000 Anonymous 893477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes definitely&nbsp;narrow gold velvet or cream brocade. I love those shoes and I can't wait to see what you come up with https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893471 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:49:37 +0000 Angie 893471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooooh! Now you're talking, sweet stuff. Go to the store and report back https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893467 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:46:38 +0000 christy 893467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agreed that the lace is a bit much, but love the idea of a cream velvet ribbon! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893464 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:44:06 +0000 Diana 893464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, maybe I should look for cream velvet ribbon or very pale gold.&nbsp; Thanks, Angie.&nbsp; I agree that the lace is too much. <br /><br />I was actually thinking I want to wear them with this outfit for easter tomorrow (with nude hose!). <br /><br />ETA: Tanya, brocade is a great idea too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893462 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:43:32 +0000 Thistle 893462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the idea of ribbon, just not these. I would try something slightly lower contrast, maybe a smooth satin or velvet. &nbsp;If you go with lace, which could be superb, I would use a smoother lace so it looks refined and finished.<br /><br />i do really like adding this ladylike element to oxfords! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893460 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:42:27 +0000 Tanya 893460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, I like the idea, but I agree that they are too big. &nbsp;Could you find some more delicate ones? &nbsp;Gold/bronze sounds nice too. &nbsp;Gold velvet would be fun. &nbsp;Or brocade if you can find it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893459 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:41:32 +0000 Angie 893459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I vote look for other ribbon. A shade of white is fab though! You wear that on top. Perhaps not as wide and detailed. (I am trying <b><i>not</i></b> to judge this with my clean and crisp style eye - don't know if I succeeded).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-lace-ribbons-in-my-brown-oxfords#post-893456 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 14:36:41 +0000 Diana 893456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tried putting some cream colored lace ribbon in place of the shoelaces on my new brown oxfords to make them less brown.&nbsp; I'm thinking it's too big, white, and raggedy looking though.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Should I go to the store and look for some other ribbon?&nbsp; What color?&nbsp; I'm thinking gold or bronze velvet maybe?<br /><br /><br />
