Tan, Blue or Black?

July 2nd, 2015 by Karen 28 Comments

I spotted these suede wedges by Halogen at Nordies yesterday and fell in love (just to look, not to get), but I like all of the colors!

Which one do you like best — the tan, blue or black?

I’d probably go for the blue, just for that pop o’ color, but the other two would be more versatile (the tan pair would make my legs look longer, which is a high priority when you’re a shorty! — and the black ones I know I’d be able to wear with everything).

Fashion dilemmas… 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. On the subject of shoes, what was the last pair you got?

    I love the blue ones and I clicked blue before I even read you like them the most! Sure they are less versatile but I think you do have nude wedges, don’t you? And blue goes with a lot of things anyways!

    I voted for the tan, but why do we have to pick just one???? Pffft. I say the acceptable answer is ALL THREE!!!!! 🙂

    i have been so into navy as a new neutral, but you can’t really make a bad choice, they are all gorgeous! The last pair of shoes I bought were a black pair of flats from payless!

    I picked the blue before I read your pick as well. LOL I do like all of them but blue is becoming a color I accessorize with regularly.

    I think the last pair of shoes I bought were Sorel wedge boots for the winter.

    All, all, all! While Tan and Black are versatile, Blue is the only non neutral color that I wear confidently 😀 My latest shoe buy was a pair of TOMS during the HauteLook sale, so comfortable!

    All three? Really, I’m so the wrong person to ask. The tan & black are so practical. Neutral & black go with anything but blue is my fave cover. Now that I’ve managed to be of NO help to you, let me know which ones you get =)

    Karen! These are so nice! Please post some photos with these on if you finally make your division. (I guess you already ordered????) I think both the tan and black would be very nice. I wear jeans so often so the blue color is kinda a repeat. I voted for the black pair.

    Tan!
    And the last pair of shoes I got… A pair of zebra print flats almost one year ago? I really need to get out more.

    I think the blue would be fun! I HATE when shoes I love come in multiple colors because then I just want them all! Hmmm the last shoes I bought weren’t even really shoes, they were flip flops from the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection!

    They are all so pretty but the blue ones were like “Hello!” You won’t go wrong with any of the colors. The last pair of shoes I purchased were peach lace wedges from Lucky Brand and a cool brown leather pair from Roxy I think. Thanks to clearance at DSW I was able to score both pair for the price of half of one!

    As soon as I saw the blue I thought….awesome shoes! Yeah, I am a shorty too but still love the blue.

    I always get Black because it’s easiest to wear with things. Don’t be like me and wind up with a million pairs of boring shoes. Get blue!

    My thinking was the same as yours on this, Karen. I like the appeal of the blue for that color pop. But the beige could take you into fall and provide the added bonus that we shorter ladies like so much (you should see how many beige shoes I own!). I say, try them both on with a dress or style of outfit that very “you” and see which pair looks nicer!

    Either the survey is broken, or you simply forgot the “all of the above” option 😉 The last pair of shoes I bought are dainty gold 4″ heels to go with a pretty snazzy dress I bought for my brother’s wedding in Vegas next month. They were on clearance at DSW AND I had a $10 off coupon. Yep. I was pretty pleased!

    Just one pair?! I want you to have them all!! The tan and black will go with everything, but you’d rock the blue! Geeze I’m SOOO helpful! :-/ let us know what you choose!

    I would definitely get the tan one’s, too. I’m a shorty, too, so I would have to get the nude and they look great in that colour.

    The blue one’s would give a pop of colour but you would only be able to wear them with certain colours, the tan one’s will work well with a lot of other looks.

    Hopefully you could make the decision!

    Best wishes,
    Vanessa

    Ya gotta go blue because they can still be worn in the later months of summer/fall when jeans come out & blue goes great with any jeans…But the tan are cute for summer, but I still pick blue.
    The last pair of shoes I bought were a black pair of Born sandals that go great with my black shorts, even though it is summer, but they are super comfy and stylish.

    I like the blue. They jump out the most at me.

    The last pair of shoes I got were sparrow flip flops from Call It Spring. I have my eye on Zigi Soho ones and hope the store still has them next time I’m in.

    I’d go for the blue (if I could only have one). The last pair of shoes I bought were open-toed leopard print wedge booties.

    I voted tan! I figured they’d be easiest to wear with anything.

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
