Which Shoes Did I buy? Revealed

HELLO!

Quick chime in from the Netherlands:

Had a GREAT time shopping with Inge in Arnhem. We both found amazing stuff which we’ll share later. In the meantime, guess which dear little extremely comfy and awfully pretty low heeled Italian pumps are mine. Red or blush?

ETA: It was a hard choice, and it took me a while to decide. I was leaning towards the blush, Inge was leaning towards the blush, and then Greg sealed the deal with preferring the blush when I sent him these pics. The blush are less messy-looking, and slightly more refined. ALL your reasons for me choosing blush are dead right. I’m impressed. Well done to all those who chose blush - but you made great assumptions as to why I would choose the red. Almost came home with both....

Oh. This is hard. You are showing with dark blue jeans but you’re going to wear a lot of white jeans. Th blush and white will add to legline and can still bookend your hair. They are “ neutral” so would work with things like pink dresses. You are a moth to flame for footwear that is white or nearly white.
OTOH the red is very crisp- darker but not DARK. Now that you are wearing darker glasses frames, the red balances that more. To me they look better with blue denim than the blush which wash out s little. You have a high tolerance for wearing reds and oranges and yellows rather than staying neutral.
The red bow is tidier. For my feet that’s an advantage because the other bow kind of goes on, out there. However you might see that asymmetry as more of a statement.
Things that would go into MY decision would include target outfits. Do I have a dress or pants that aren’t working unless I have the neutral blush? Or can I add just a fun color.

I vote Red.

Very interesting....

Actually, the red bow is a lot less tidy than the blush.

I get that. Fabric and all. In the photo it looks like it stays within the outline of the shoe and the other extends over.
The blush is dressier because does not look an everyday flat. Hence may be “Angie- pretty.” The dark trim on the red makes it look more casual and more typical but then the bow is a little bit delicate. Hmm, and maybe the red is not tomato- y enough?
That’s why it’s hard to guess!

Blush?

Funny thing: if I were to describe, I wouldn't say the red bow is "less tidy". I would say its "tidy but with a hint of irreverence"

Red - harder to duplicate that shoe at home also adds pop of color

Blush! Excellent bookend for your hair, and this pair has a clean, polished, feminine flair.

The red bow is fab, too -- but perhaps a bit of a wild card for you?

I am going to guess blush.

I'm guessing BLUSH, because that particular red looks quite cool, and I know Angie prefers orange-reds.

Hard one. If it was last year I would say the blush and white, but I think Agie version 2018 would pick the red/blue. Looks like it will go with many of your new dresses, etc.

Red, though that might be because I would pick those.

Oh man. This is so hard. I think the blush are more *me* with the asymmetry and the blush doesn’t entirely on my phone look like ‘Angie blush.’

And the red are so delightful! They immediately made me go Ooh...

But then I think about the lemon jeans... and I’m like Angie wouldn’t do Chaos, would she?

I’m gonna vote for blush and be wrong... yes, that’s what I’m gonna do...

I am going with "both," because Angie has a sneaky "this is a trick question" sort of face in photo #1.

They are both your style but the check pattern (do you call it that way?) of the red was made for you.

I thought both as well!
