please help!! which color??
Permalink Closed


i am going to buy the j crew danielle flat sandal and am trying to decide which color.  they need to be versatile and go with almost everything.  i was originally looking for a flat strappy silver metallic sandal, so at first i wanted to get this color - it's a little darker than what i wanted but close enough i think.

hoerver, they don't have it at any jc stores in my area (in my size), so i'd have to order online (not a problem really though).  instead i tried these, which i also like and which the sa assures me are equally versatile:

12024_PK5774.tif&tmp=prdDtIm

it's sort of a matte/pale pink nude color.  they sort of looked nude on my feet and i didn't feel that pale, which i liked (i am seriously pale so this color in a top or dress might wash me out, but i liked the shoes).  these are at the b&m store waiting for me to purchase unless i go with the grey ones.  haven't seen the grey color irl but i can go to the only store that got them in - they don't have my size but i can look at the color.

to sum up, please tell me:

1)  which color is more versatile?
2) which color is more falttering on pale skin (that will hopefully get a bit darker this summer)? 

thanks!

Oh love those! I really think I prefer the top color, but my summer wardrobe consists of lots of brown and those look bronzish on my monitor, so...
I do think the light color could be pretty versitile and since they are leather they will darken up some. For me the issue with that color would be dirt showing.

I think the first color would be more versitile, at least for me it would be. The sandals are super cute!

I agree, the first color would be more versatile and is the one I prefer too. I really like the style. I'm just not a fan of that second color.

First of all, I don't think you can go wrong with either! They are both very versatile and cute!

It's a hard call. I like the nude and I think nude is pretty much the most versatile color around, but in the past when I've worn flat nude shoes I've gotten comments about how I look like I'm barefoot from too far away. And in certain outfits it does feel like my legs are a little too "naked" without the anchoring of an actual color.

Well, I guess I'm unhelpful. I can't choose either!

Another vote for the 1st pair. I like the 2nd pair but the first one really stand out to me and I think they will go with a lot of colors.

I really like the first color - but they are definitely cute either way

I like the first better - they have more oomph. The second pair: no oomph.

I think I like the first pair best. But I don't think you can go wrong with either one. So, essentially, I'm no help.

thanks everyone!  i am leaning towards the charcoal metallic.  i'm going to a different store tomorrow to look at the color in person and compare the two.  they don't have my size but they said they'd order it for me if i wanted that color.  i'll report back on what i decide.  thanks again - it really helps to get a lot of opinions!

those are cute! I wanted the Danielles in dark brown, which are sold out in my size online so I have to go look for them in store. I vote for the metallic silver.

Cute! I love the silver - they make more of an impact without being too overbearing. Take pics if/when you get them!
