Are the white
shoes with black tights fashionable or did someone make a faux pas?
I don't like the white shoes with the black tights. The outfit is cute, but
I'd wear black shoes with those tights. – Beckie

** no...... actually that's being shown in a lot of fall spots and it adds a
bit of color. would have rather seen colored tights in some wild color and
then the white shoes or darker toned shoes
however for your (and my) personal comfort level, I wouldn't use white shoes
By the way, the outfit is a Jill Stuart double–breasted shaped coat and
miniskirt. Marc by Marc Jacobs ribbed wool poorboy and Marc Jacobs white
patent lether flats.
*** Love the outfit by the way. Very fall and Parisian in tone....

Most magazines have been showing this look. However I abhor it and would never
do it.
The outfit sans the shoes is cute though. I'd pair it with maybe a pair of
black flats, as much as I hate flats. There's some cute flats out there now
that's as big as the "white on black" look that would work better with this,
imho.

thought I would present it to the fashion savvy mavens of AF. Are the

That whole thing is Marc Jacobs doing so we have to call it fashion savvy.
This is from the young, hip Marc collection –

I don't personally think I will ever use that look.

Not really liking the shoes, although I agree with other posters, the
magazines are showing this look. I would not wear white shoes...actually I
never do. But overall it isn't a disaster...just eye catching.

What she said. Also, white shoes just make my feet look like small boats.

Savvy per the current fashion mags, but not a look for me; however, as
others have said, the look sans the white shoes is a great one.

I think the black tights/white shoe combo looks funky! (funky good, I mean.)

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. I guess my instincts are better than I
think they are. I like the outfit but I don't like the white shoes. Aren't
white shoes for fall supposed to be taboo?

Fashion lines are getting blurred. White is encouraged now.

I love the outfit but hate the white shoes part. Maybe something to go with
the green sweater would have been more appropriate.

Good point Shalini...I was actually wondering about some green shoes, but
that might be too matchy matchy, but the white really wasn't doing it for
me.
