The only appeal for me, if any is the fact that they are hand made. The look of the shoes remind me of a period piece actors would wear for a play. I am sure the shoes are beautiful, but not for the price and ho hum style! I'll save the $225 for a nice J.

I loved the feminine trend in clothing of the past few seasons (except the chiffon and ruffles, which I can do without). I'm having trouble with the boyfriend trend, which again takes me back to my late 80s/early 90s college days of wearing men's cardigans and suiting jackets from the Salvation Army. Yes, that was my 15 minutes of cool!<br /><br />OT but I'd like to hear opinions on the following: do you think a (petite) woman in her (very) late 30s can get away with the pixie pants? I think they are just adorable but I fear that I will again be reliving the late 80s and early 90s, since a long cardi or jacket to cover the butt would be necessary. Do you think it would look like I was trying too hard or having a mid-life crisis?

There so cute with skirts--very old school. Wearing a pair of masculine-looking shoes is my favorite way of mixing boy-girl things. But, as many have already said, they're way too expensive. The Frye oxfords are a great alternative. I just ordered a pair of Sam Edelman's from UO and got an extra 25% off. I think they'll fit the bill for under $100.cchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01476065689350799595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-79994560755845749852009-07-16T09:28:29.769-04:002009-07-16T09:28:29.769-04:00wish the oxfords had a higher heelwish the oxfords had a higher heelMarketeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05321138265732312065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-18396659452733018202009-07-16T09:23:15.640-04:002009-07-16T09:23:15.640-04:00I like the oxfords.

(Man-made materials, fake leather, tend to make your feet sweat. And then, if you're like me, your feet get cold and your day is ruined.) <br /><br />As much as I like them and as well-made as they seem to be, I'm conflicted over them. It's more than I've ever spent on a pair of shoes, and you can get good quality for less. <br /><br />In comparison, I bought a pair of Bass saddle shoes in brown leather on brown suede and I don't think they were even a hundred. Maybe not even fifty. I did have to buy them from the boys' section though, as they don't make them for women anymore. But they're high quality, built to last, and incredibly cute, with the upside being that no one else has anything like them. <br /><br />Urban Outfitters has some similar looking shoes for less - Even <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?itemdescription=true&itemCount=10&startValue=1&selectedProductColor=&sortby=&id=16190134&parentid=W_SHOES_FLATS&sortProperties=+subCategoryPosition,+product.marketingPriority,-product.startDate&navCount=12&navAction=poppushpush&color=&pushId=W_SHOES_FLATS&popId=WOMENS_SHOES&prepushId=" rel="nofollow">these ones</a> from Frye are cheaper than J.Crew and they're a steadfast brand.L.

I may have to try the Salinas this season.<br /><br />The oxfords are cute but I would get a lot more wear out of a black pair. I have a pair of navy suede wing-tips from J.Crew circa 2003, I think. I also have a couple pairs of similarly-styled shoes from Fluevog and they are great (one pair is almost 10 years old and I still wear it regularly). Very comfortable, leather uppers and linings with a thick rubber sole. I've got about a dozen pair of Fluevogs in different styles and they are stylish, well-made shoes for the money and always garner plenty of compliments, especially from men. <br /><br />Being the ShuLvr that I am, I would love to try the J.Crew oxfords and may have to order them just to see. Of course, once I have them home, if they are nice they won't be going back.ShuLvrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321544374197981014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-34067984205932233012009-07-16T08:46:48.330-04:002009-07-16T08:46:48.330-04:00I think the oxfords are pretty cute too, but $225?...I think the oxfords are pretty cute too, but $225?
