Spring Forward (!)
Woohoo! Could it be, have we seen the last remnants of winter here in the Northeast? I'm going to say yes and make like V. Bury away my winter coat deep in my closet. We've spent far too much time together, dang coat. *shakes fist*
So yay, Spring! Flowers and picnics and dresses and baseball and driving around with the windows down! And also, cute shoes!
But the question is:
Now before you leave me a comment along the lines of "What are you, a dummy? YELLOW!" here me out. The only reason I'm hesitant about getting them is because I already own a pair of yellow shoes. And I also think while not as loud, I guess, the white are really cute in their own right.
But I'm being silly, right? Cuz "yellow" is the new "red." So one can't own too many pairs of yellow shoes now.
Right?

I love the yellow ones- the big thing I have against the white shoes is that they'll never be as white as they are the first day ever again. White always gets dingy so fast that it seems like yellow is definitely the way to go.

I love them both. Whatever color you get, they will be great, and probably last just about forever. I bought two pairs of Campers when I studied in Spain eight years ago, and they still haven't fallen apart at all. Campers are the greatest shoes ever.

RIGHT.
and plus, now that your blog is all minimalist and stuff, you need more yellow on your feet. (i like the new look btw!)

Yellow. The while will get dirty too fast.
I love Campers!

Are you a dummy?! How could you not get the yellow! ;) They're awesome.

What you are, a dummy? YELLOW!

yellow!!

I love those shoes so much! Camper shoes are really good quality and super comfortable as well.
I *think* I actually prefer the colour of thhe white ones, probably mainly because I think they would go with more outfits (at least, with more of my outfits!) but they might get a bit grubby before very long. And the yellow are such a beautiful, warm yellow; and I think they would stay looking clean much more easily. So all things considered I would go for the yellows, I think.
But, er, how about both?! It's such a tough decision; I'd just throw money at the problem! ;)

Totally right. 15 pairs of yella shoes THAT cute wouldn't be too many.
Well, ok. 15 might, but 2 really isn't.

Yellow, for sure!
Posted by: sarah at April 16, 2008 05:42 AM
I'll be one of the few dissenters and say "white!!!". That specific yellow doesn't scream spring to me. I followed the link though and now I'm in love with the red ones.

If it were me, I'd just get both! ;-) (Actually, that's not true. I don't look that good in yellow. But if, say, it were white and blue, I'd definitely buy both pairs.)

yellow - no question.....
Posted by: stacey at April 16, 2008 07:50 AM
oh my god, i was JUST looking at these shoes the other day. i think that i saw them on aimee (putyourflareon) in one of her photos too. the yellow is awesome. i'm thinking about going with the dark blue/fuschia :)
Posted by: gleek at April 16, 2008 08:34 AM
whoa, i was unprepared for the MOMAesque change to the blog...i'm diggin it.
i don't know, i'd go yellow, but the white are super cute too, so either way, you win! :)
Posted by: courtney at April 16, 2008 09:15 AM
Buy both!
Posted by: Sarah at April 16, 2008 10:00 AM
Like Yahaira, I checked out your link, and I love the red ones!! But I think you're right: yellow is the new red....
My opinion is: the yellow ones are more whimsical and cute, the white ones are more classic. Don't you want to be whimsical and cute?!
Posted by: Veronique at April 16, 2008 10:14 AM
I like the red. White shoes never stay white for long...

I've decided yellow goes with everything, and since I don't have the skin tone to wear cute yellow shirts and dresses, the feet are the best place for it. I just bought yellow shoes to wear to my brother's wedding with my gray bridesmaid's dress. So you know which column to tally my vote in.
Posted by: Sarah at April 16, 2008 01:16 PM
yellow! sunny bright and, well, sunny!
Posted by: carrie m at April 16, 2008 02:51 PM
oh, i'm going to have to peer-pressure you into the yellow shoes. so cute, i'm dying for some yellow on my feet too.
how cute would those be with some handknit socks? rawr!
Posted by: melissa at April 16, 2008 04:57 PM
Yella.
I agree with those who say the white ones might get too gungy looking too fast. But either way, your feet win.
Posted by: amy at April 16, 2008 08:25 PM
They're not just yella, they're PATENT.
Sorry girl, but there's only one choice. ;)
xx
Posted by: Sharon at April 17, 2008 04:53 AM
Hang on - I'm sure they were patent!!!!
Oh, this could change everything...
Posted by: Sharon at April 17, 2008 04:54 AM
White.
Posted by: Sharon at April 17, 2008 04:54 AM
although i agree that the white will get dirtier, the white strap on the yellow ones will look like ass in no time too.
hmmm. when i can't decide, i flip a coin and pick head's or tails. and if i don't like what came up, then i know which ones to pick.
i'd get both though

yellow yellow yellow yellow
btw, I used to sell Campers, and that particular style is a best-seller every year. Don't wait too long, buy yellow now!
Posted by: anne at April 17, 2008 08:55 PM

Those shoes are ridiculously cute and now you make me want a pair...
