Hmm, so now my thought is: do you think these could be worn (hoseless) with skirts or is the black going to be too dark and jarring? I am seeing lots of gals in NYC wearing cute little oxfords and bare legs with skirts and shorts but they are usually cognac or chestnut. But I do wear a lot of black anyway, even in spring, and I have dark hair, sort of like this girl:

Except her oxfords are a bit more feminine in detail than these.

Oh how cute and what a great deal!

I was just going to ask, Maya, about how you were planning on wearing these.

The girl in the photo looks pretty hot like that. I bet you can pull it off!

Why do I think of putting knee-high socks with these shoes? Probably best off for you younger folks

I like knee socks but feel like they're too school-girlish with oxfords...like that creepy Britney Spears sexy schoolgirl look that I hate.

I'd totally wear them with pumps though. I will probably copy that girl's outfit with my LBD and a silk scarf!

They'll be great with skinnies and straight legs and also in the fall with dark hose. I'd like to make them work for spring though, because I don't want to wait until fall to wear them! Thank goodness I am in NYC where black is always in season.

i think you could pull that look off, maya. it may not have the same feminine detailing as those girl's shoes, but it's narrow enough to look feminine (as opposed to some clunky looking brogues), and the shine will give your outfit some funk.

as an aside... sometimes the girls on chictopia irk me. i'm not sure why, i think it's that they're just too high fashion for me!

I don't look at Chictopia or any other "inspiration" pictures normally. Instead of inspiring me, they frustrate me because I don't have the right pieces, and because the girls always look the same to me. I'm tired of seeing stick thin girls with pouty/angry faces.

That girl came from a google search and for once I did have all the right components, though I won't be striking that silly pose and my dress as a lot more length.

Well, I can't get ahead of myself here. First things first: I have to make sure they are comfy!
