Girls thread cont.

they're perfect

In my Catholic HS we were only allowed to wear oxfords so I usually had a bunch. Or these - these were very popular too:

<3 Frye's but they're so $$$$. I know they last forever but I never have that much to spend on shoes at any given time.

omg I have no idea what I'd wear these with and therefore prob never would but I NEED THESE:

I'm in desperate need of new boots - I want a sort of oxford style boot, mid calf, but haven't found anything under 200

laceup you mean?

with or without heel

Gorgeous shoes...*HEART* Frye's shoes and boots. They occupy the place in my heart once owned solely by Fluevog. Never owned a pair of those either. Triste. My life has always been very Nine West, Converse sneakers and whatever Born I can find on sale at Ross. Except for the year I saved for mediocre leather boots from Sundance. Okay, now I'm feeling sorry for myself, teehee....

smoove: What about (putting in full urls for info and for simplicity's sake):

...and etc?

i am getting the rachel antonhoff heeled saddle shoes for x-mas... can't wait.

I was going to say earlier that I really want saddle shoes.

lucky! those seem like shoes i would want want want want and then wear like 2x because i have a glut of special occasion shoes and severe lack of occasions on which to wear them :(

maybe i just need a more exciting social calendar?

I was just looking at that collection thinking that I'd buy myself some with expected birthday money but I am worried I'll never wear them if I do. :/ I'll have to think about it.

I want a pair of shiny paratrooper jump boots for hiking to the subway in this winter.

i was talking about the heeled ones. the flat ones would go with lots of stuff and aren't as SHAZAM POW.

?????

I have a lot of kinda 50's-ish dresses that would look really great with the heeled saddle shoes... that was my intent, anyway.

I am picking out Evan's clothes! THIS IS HARD

I LOVE THE HEELED ONES, TOO! I was going to make a whole post about how if the price of the heeled saddle shoes was my soul, I'd sign on the dotted line. Did you see the cordovan & cognac combo??

i'd wear those black boots, but i am never without a pair of laceup black boots

Those black lace up ones look like the steel toe Docs I wore in HS/College. My shitkickers as my dad would call them.

lol I am lame

HERE ARE SOME OUTFITS FOR YOU EVAN IT IS ALL FROM ASOS.COM, A VERY NICE RETAILER

http://www.polyvore.com/evans_wardrobe/set?id=40733243

Mandee have you ordered from Asos? How does the sizing convert?

I mean - has stuff from there fit true to size?

It runs about half a size big.

I've had magnificent luck, but I have pretty standard measurements for my size... and I am 5'8" so pants are always the perfect length on me.

My sister has quite different proportions than me and things don't fit her as well.

I've only had one thing not fit in the like fifty things I've ordered

I like that they tell you what size the model is wearing - that gives some idea, often.
I've ordered quite a lot from there and the only things that didn't fit were just weird fits anyway (like a really rigid 'shell' top).

i have those frye oxfords and they are great! i got them from urban outfitters when they were having a 50% coupon thing and so they were more reasonable.

I forgot about this, but sometime ilxor Lauren has the high-heeled saddle shoes ("HHSS") and says they're turrible hard to match to wear b/c the high contrast of the white makes them look funny with a lot of pants.

omg ty homo

I probably would mainly wear them with dresses

i just rewatched pulp fiction and i have to say, either uma's black-pants-white-shirt outfit is timeless or i've totally fallen for this '90s resurgence. pos both.

It's totally timeless.

yaay! i am on the lookout for those pants

more for spring/summer tho. for right now i just need another pair of skinny jeans - uniqlo changed something in their design and now they fit oddly on me! all their pants do! even the jeggings! blargh. oh well, it just means i actually have to go shopping properly.

thanks, laurel (many xps)!

i really like the first steve madden ones, but i want a min. 2" heel

i like the second ones ok but i hate the black sole with that color on the leather, plus i prefer a round toe. also might be a bit short in the shaft (lol)

i was trying to post those graanie steve maddens when the sandbox went down - i really like them, think i might get them since they're on zappos and i can try a couple of sizes

don't like the last ones at all - too chunky/butch

but yeah - you totally got what i meant by "oxford style"... i was using that term (pretty inaccurately) as a shortcut for vintagey/toe seam/lace up/detail.

but i really really really can't/shouldn't spend money on new boots right now, bc i have 3 perfectly wearable pairs, and i have an idea that my husband has spent about 3x more than he was supposed to on b'day presents for me.

Feeling really frustrated with what ~feels like~ that whole "Why should we talk about it? Our privilege is that we never *have* to talk about or question this stuff!" wall right now.

Really feel like I'm constantly walking through a minefield of worrying about not ~offending~ dudes and I never know what's on the menu and what's not on the menu, and the rules are so arbitrary, and it's never actually one's "tone" but just the fact that one mentions it, at all. "Now just go off and have your little conversations about sexuality and sexual imagery somewhere they don't interrupt the stream of pictures of girls in their underwear."

I know it's probably not that, but it really *feels* like that, right now.

Anyway, as you were. Back to your dresses and shoes and whatever.

Kate! I specifically just said that it wasn't that and that I do think those conversations are important and should be had somewhere. You haven't posted to WS before, right? This honestly doesn't have anything to do with you or the discussion you tried to initiate - it's a standing thing. I've gotten in trouble for "talking" to much on that thread before as have many others. It's sort of part of the joke. So even though it *feels* like that right now I promise you it's not that and has nothing to do with you personally or your questions (which are really important ones!).

I was trying to be helpful by saying something now before someone said something harsh and easily misinterpreted.

I posted that *before* your clarification, TBH.

"Now just go off and have your little conversations about sexuality and sexual imagery somewhere they don't interrupt the stream of pictures of girls in their underwear."

This is the essence of that thread 24/7/365, Foth. The reason I avoid it pretty strictly.

Also the prevalence of what is essentially the same skinny brunette over and over and over and over.

What thread?

The "would smash" one, not that I recommend looking at it in too much detail.

I was quite enjoying the blithe positivity and pseudo-obliviousness of this new-era Fotherington Thomas, by the way.
