It must be fate!

After reading Angie's post on flat oxfords this morning I remembered how much I liked my Hush Puppies yellow and white oxfords last summer and how they were able to elevate any outfit to the next level (in my eyes anyway) - here are some samples (pic 1-3).
I was just thinking how I like Angie's black and white oxfords and where can I find a similar pair for summer (not an easy task for my size)...
...when I opened Long Tall Sally website and what I find there in new arrivals? More Hush Puppies oxfords in new colors (pic 4-6)
This must be fate! I think I NEED another pair of oxfords, what do you think? Now if only I can decide on the color...Tan? Black? Raspberry?

Yay!!!

Can you order both the tan and the black and after playing around in your closet - decide which works best with your capsules?

Your oxford outfits are great, love how versatile the shoes are. I would go with the b&w if they were for me because I love high contrast. The tan would be a great neutral though (though they are more similar to your other pair). Another pair will be a great addition to your fabulous wardrobe!

I'd go with b&w but would also (for me) be tempted by the raspberry as a fun colour. But you already have the yellow for that pop of fun. The yellow also works (paradoxically) as an almost nude for you neutral...the tan might function in a similar way. So if you are going for something a bit different and graphic, the b&w is the ticket.

It will look fab, by the way, with your new white Danier leather jacket!!

Black or tan.

Tan or black. But I was thinking like Suz, that the tan might be pretty similar to your yellow.

Lucky you -- with no work at all -- it really WAS meant to be

Angie, this is what I decided: I will buy both tan and black and see which play better...or maybe I need both? I also thought about raspberry ones but decided that I already have a fun yellow pair and raspberry will not expand my choices as much as black or tan.
Tina, thanks. My first thought was black and white too, we will see...

Suz, you enabler, you! My first thought was"Raspberry, what fun!" but then I thought exactly like you
Thanks Deb, looks like black or tan is the way to go for me.
Sara, I know, right? How can one resist the fate?

Angie, I had to restrain myself from not running to the store in the middle of the work day!
Unlike for Danier leather jackets I never wait for sale for shoes...better safe than sorry!

Yay, so glad Hush Puppies granted your wish. I am envisioning the b/w version working and maybe an all-tan version will appear for you someday.

I vote tan because it is not as harsh when bookending your hair. I find for summer clothes when I often sport lighter colors lighter shoes work best.

I think you will love the black/white (or the brown if it is dark enough) as very different from your yellow version. I love how the yellow ones look on you.
