WIW Oxfords Round Two:)

May 22, 2012

Hi Ladies

Thanks for your encouragement with the Oxfords yesterday:). I love them so much and find them so comfy I wanted to wear them again today!

I'm not sure about this combo. Once I left the house I started to wonder if a midi black tailored shift dress I have may create better proportions? Will have to try it.

The blacks are not as different IRL as on #1.. must be the lighting. #2 is a better representation of the two blacks:)

Black Dress - Mix
Cropped, ruffle trim cardigan - Jaqui E
Fishnet Hose
Oxfords - Rivers

#3 handbag and accessories.

Again any advice re styling these shoes is really appreciated.

xxx Deborah

    The proportions totally work! How about adding a scarf?

  • Deborah replied 11 years ago

    Thanks Angie. Yes a scarf might just lift it all a bit. I kind of felt like I hadn't quite finished dressing when I left the house:) Like there was something missing. This is the first time I have tried the black fishnets and I do like how its still black but definitely creates a softer look than the opaques.

    No wonder you love those shoes! They are super! I like the new laces much better. And the proportions here work beautifully.

  • bj1111 replied 11 years ago

    love it all. i also like the sheerer hose on you even if i'm an opaques girl myself.

  • Deborah replied 11 years ago

    BJ I love opaques! But am trying to be open to new things lol

  • Debora replied 11 years ago

    The proportions look great to me! I missed the opaques discussion so I am off to look for it now. I wear them quite a bit in the winter for warmth.

    I think the shoes work well with this shorter length skirt - not to say you shouldn't try a midi too of course. Maybe a light or bright scarf as Angie suggested would be a good addition, but you look pretty terrific as is.

    i see angie's point about blondes and sheers. as a brunette, i feel like i'm trying to hard in sheers. and weirdly, i don't feel as professional and too "sexy".

  • JennyAnne replied 11 years ago

    Just maybe some color, or even some white up top. Awesome, awesome shoes!

  • sarah replied 11 years ago

    I like Angie's idea of repeating the white in a scarf up to, but this is still great. You are having so much fun with your new shoes! Tee-hee!

    Proportions are great here Deborah and like others have mentioned, I love the sheer hose. Keeps the bottom half of you "light". The shoes look fantastic. I like Angie's idea of adding a scarf.

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    LOVE these shoes! And I like the sheer hose, also! Have you thought about belting the dress under the cardi? I'd belt it loosely, perhaps, so the belt hangs down a bit in the front, which would help define the body, but won't shorten the length too much.

    Looks good to me.

  • celia replied 11 years ago

    The oxfords look really good with this outfit. Angie's suggestion of a scarf reminded me of the classic square ones in shades of black/ white/ camel.

  • Vicki replied 11 years ago

    I'm so happy to see your Oxfords out and busy and, yes, Angie's idea to add a scarf (white and red?) would be lovely.

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Your oxfords are amazing! I may be giving up my Doc Saras in search of a pair more like yours with black bookending white.
