i still think you should go with the j crew shoes. they're adorable and j crew shoes are good quality, comfy, and hold up well. the bcbggirl ones are cute, but if you've had problems with comfort in the past from that brand then i'd reconsider.

i also like the ones posted by pollyjean for a second (and third) option to the j crew, but i really think those j crew shoes are fabulous!

also, where are you picturing yourself wearing these? if mainly for work and cute daytime outfits then the j crew would be perfect. the bcbggirls ones are more party-ish and less versatile imo. i haven't commented on the NW ones b/c i'm not a fan (sorry - they are too trendy/80s for me).

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

My faves are actually the two pairs pollyjean posted.

Boots · Gucci

I like Diba pair from PollyJean the best. I think it's lower price point and the fact that JCrew shoes have always hurt my feet (although BCBG shoes are extremely comfy on me, so go figure.) I don't like the cut outs on the Ninewest.

I voted for the J Crew shoes. I have one pair of their heels that I wore to a wedding that were suprisingly comfortable. I have a pair of BCBG Girls' that are sooooo cute and soooo uncomfortable!

NCshopper · Hermes

You ladies are the best!

As far as when I'd wear these, I'd wear them to work primarily. I'm thinking summer shoes to wear with a khaki colored suit or an off-white skirt with navy blue sweater.

I do love the Diba ones that Pollyjean posted. Those are my runner up right now. I like the Jessica Simpson ones, but for some reason, they don't seem "me." Plus, I have a feeling my boss would have a field day with those. (She's notorious for finding some odd-ball comment to make about everyone's clothing. Good times.)

So anyway, it'll be either the JCrew pair or the Diba pair. I'm going to think about it some more...

jah · Dooney & Bourke

Love the first ones. I see so many outfits with them - Denim skirt, white button front, brown dress, anything khaki, yellow. I see it looking great with greens as well.

Get them. $141 is a good price.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I like the first ones, I think the neutral color helps to balance out the bright orange and make them more versatile and also work appropriate. I see the others as being "going out" shoes, only cute with dressier, edgier outfits.

stardust · Kenneth Cole

I like the J.Crew pair- they are expensive but I've always had a good experience with J. Crew shoes.
I also really like both pairs Pollyjean posted!

atlgirl · Gucci

Jcrew. IMO they are the absolute standouts of all the ones posted. And the classiest pair. Plus I think they're very "you" and you would enjoy them every time you put them on. Not sure I could say that for the others.

Metric · Gucci

I love the J Crew ones, obvi. I have a pair of BCBG heels and I want to chew my feet off everytime I wear them- they hurt. so. bad.

alb · Marc Jacobs

Haha! No, all these opinions really do help! As you see by the Weekday Shopping post, I bought the JCrew ones. They were hauting me for days and that's usually a good sign. Now I just can't wait for them to get here!!!
