STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

help me pick a color!

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

I've never tried the shoes on but I would go with green. I think it would go with a lot more outfits, and it could also be cute in the summer as well. Plus, it matches the purse!

I would definitely get the red. Admittedly, I am a sucker for a red shoe, but that shoe especially speaks to me in red. I'd pair the red with that blue bag too!

bluediamond · Dooney & Bourke

I am so bad at this, i would want both colors. But I thinK GREEN would be a much more versatile color for SPring.

I completely agree!

Okay--2 votes for red and 2 for green--eek. Someone please be a tie-breaker!

NCshopper · Hermes

Hahaha...I've been going back and forth on those too! The red is my first choice. I think the red would look really cute with that purse too--a very funky combination that would look good together.

alb · Marc Jacobs

NCShopper--thanks for helping me out (and thanks to everyone else too). If I wore the red shoes with that bag though, what color clothes do you think would look good with it? The only thing that comes to mind are my citizens with the red stitching on the pockets and maybe a black top. Would there be another color top that would pull it together better (with jeans on the bottom)? Would a white top and jeans be too "red white and blue"?? I hope that makes sense.

Elle · Hermes

Purple might be a good 'bridge' color. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the colors too much - IMO it looks even better when something doesn't 'match' the rest of the outfit. Maybe dress around either the bag or the shoes, and then throw the other into the mix as you see fit

jen · Kate Spade

Get the green shoe!

alb · Marc Jacobs

Thx elle--i def. agree about not matching. i make more of an effort to not match these days but i still want the colors to flow well together (if that makes sense). i guess i just don't want to look all "red white and blue" with the red shoes and the blue-ish bag. i like your idea of purple as a bridge color.

any other opinions? it's a tie again now that jen added her vote for green.

I would get the red. I just saw them both the other day at UO and I just liked the red better. That's my vote!

I love those shoes and I'm going to get them in red. I just think red is the perfect color for that shoe and I think they'll look gorgeous paired with either jeans or cropped pants in white or beige or olive. That's my plan, anyway!

I think I would get the green only because I very rarely stumble upon a green shoe that I really like.

theotherjess · Chanel

I like the green.

laken1 · Hermes

red, but i like both

TexasGal · Kenneth Cole

RED!!!! Plus, I think the blue/grey of the bag would actually kind of clash with the brighter green of the shoe. And I love the way navy and red looks together. Navy top, denim, red shoes, and your cute little bag.

alb · Marc Jacobs

Thanks everyone! I just got them in red. I was leaning towards green before I posted this thread, but I like all of the outfit color suggestions for the red ones with my new bag. Yay!

Oh, do Seychelles shoes run pretty TTS?

laken1 · Hermes

Cool - please post pixs on ST when you get them. I have my eye on them as well, but I literally have NO room in my closet for another pair of shoes. I will have to dump a pair to buy new ones. Well, or hide less worn ones in an undisclosed secret location.....
