Just wanted to mention that I tried on the Marc Jacobs oxfords. They didn't have my size, so brought out a size up from what I normally wear. Even so, they made my feet look tiny, I mean teeny tiny ... but that was the extent of the good news. They looked so incredibly retro and frumpy that I thought possibly they should only be worn by the very young, or that you would really have to be super-careful with your outfit, def wouldn't work with the long wool skirt I was wearing at the time, or not care about the effect you're creating They really were gorgeous, but ... even less sexy that I thought

PS The SA said they were selling very well--as evidenced by the fact that they didn't have my size or even very close. I guess they're a pretty good "career" shoe

are you speaking about these?
pict LVR
yes, I believe the outfit should be quite trendy for them

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ yup, I tried on that exact pair, as well as a different style (no tongue).

^they are super, but one has to carefully avoid the dreaded "revenge of the school marm" look!

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ I felt it was best avoided by not buying these shoes

 

[stella-mayfair]

^ smart move

i seem to only be able to where these with tights/leggings...i can't get them right with jeans. any suggestions?

i'm thinking about my cropped skinnies with an oversized v-neck sweater? also thinking of doing the rolled jeans thing...

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ can you post a picture of what's not working?

^^^
i feel like none of my jeans work with them.

I think they go with jeans with a little flair. And as far as being a little less sexy, sexy is all in the confidence in which they are worn. And these are definately struttable (ok, that is not a word, but I think you know what I mean.

I think all of these would go with these type of shoe:
skinny pants or jeans;
wide leg pants or jeans;
short skirts.

hey all, i really love oxford pumps, but im in a serious confusion between 2 shoes, so i need ur help deciding which one looks better, as i will buy one of them.

jeffrey campbell oxfords




Dolce vita stella oxfords





which pair do u think looks better? which looks more comfortable? and which has higher heel coz the higher is the better for me
(in the websites, the jeffrey oxfords are said to be 4'' inch, while the dolce vita os 3.75'')

oh and 1 last question, is the color of the dolce vite BLACK? because in the website it is said to be black but it does look brown to me ?!


thanks gurls
