Which seems more versatile?

Now that I've made the decision to limit my heel wearing, I'm on the hunt for a comfortable yet trendy/stylish flat for wearing both casually and at work with dressier combos. These two have caught my eye and would love your thoughts on which do you think seems more versatile for my wardrobe and if you have a preference.

I had a pair of light colored flats on my spring wish list and originally had chosen the first pair I've linked to as the ones to try. Now I see this pretty rose/blush color in the second link. Hmm....

Unfortunately neither are available in store to try on so would have to order...

I vote your original ones, they are GORGEOUS. And I think black and white would work so well with your wardrobe.

I'm going to go with Elizabeth P's advice, too, Shannon. I like the blush ones, but I love the black and white ones. They also look more like "Shannon" shoes to me, and I do think they'll work well with your wardrobe. Of course, if you're in love with the second ones, follow your heart!

Also, I've been thinking about this whole shoe dilemma myself. I'll comment on your other thread soon.

For your wardrobe, I think the b/w would be more versatile.

I love the first ones because you already have other accessories to coordinate. Although the rose ones are cute, I think they'll be much more difficult to incorporate/bookend in outfits.

I agree with the group, if versatility is key, I'd go black and white. They are both really nice!

You are all so wise! First pair it is - thank you

Do you think they could be worn with a skirt/dress?

They're both really nice, but the first one really speaks to me for you. I absolutely think they would work with skirts/dresses.

Both are gorgeous, but the first pair really sing to me. The second pair, depending on your coloring, may almost look nude. (Okay, that just might be me. My skin is so pale it looks a touch pink!)

Yep I agree, first pair, and should work fine with a skirt -- have you tried a similar style flat at home with one?

I think the first pair would be gorgeous with your wardrobe! I would absolutely wear them with skirts and dresses.

I love both but for your work wardrobe my vote goes to the black and white. I think it will go nicely with dresses and skirts.

First ones for sure. I love the color combo. And though they're pointy they're not super-pointy. And EA uppers are usually very comfortable and giving.

Another vote for the black, white and gold - I think it would work best with your wardrobe. Very cool shoes!

Oh I'm sooooo glad you think these could work for me I've gone ahead and ordered the black and white ones. They will definitely work better with my wardrobe than the rose colored ones - guess I should have trusted my first instinct!

unfrumped - I have 2 pairs of EA shoes and find them to be extremely comfortable, consistent in size and wide enough for my bunions. I also like that these have the trendy pointy look but not so pointy that they'll kill my feet.

Fingers crossed ladies and I'll report as soon as they arrive.
