Perhaps that's an issue here-- if you had a woven jacket over that it might give much more visual interest.</p> <p>just my unsolicited, non-professional thoughts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-yellow-flats#post-104107 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:01:40 +0000 Alecia 104107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I forgot about your question, Lee. I'm thinking I want a pair of low oxfords for the winter. I spent all last winter and much of summer looking for a flat, ankle bootie to no avail. I'd still pick up a pair if I found them but I think I'll have better luck with oxfords. Plus, I think they'd bring a fun element to my clothes. </p> <p>I also would like to try the slouchy boot look. I think I may have happened upon a pair that could work. I'm keeping them whether they're slouchy or not. A post with those will be coming soon.</p> <p>I'm particularly interested in the ability to wear socks with my winter shoes. So ultimately what's driving my thinking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-yellow-flats#post-104106 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:58:26 +0000 Alecia 104106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone, for such positive feedback. I will think twice before going back to a lighter color again anytime soon. I'm afraid you'd mutiny after all the raves of the darker color. </p> <p>I agree that the second outfit is better than the first. I'm thinking the cut of the pants and the pant length is what is making the first outfit a bit off. I love that I can make that kind of assessment because the distinction is a subtle one. Yet you can see the difference it makes. I'm hoping it's an indication that my eye is getting trained. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-yellow-flats#post-104028 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 06:30:28 +0000 RoseandJoan 104028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They definitely look like happy shoes to me.

I love them with both outfits. I especially love the 2nd outfit-- the brown polka dots with the denim jacket is yummy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-yellow-flats#post-103949 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:54:53 +0000 Alecia 103949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF has given me license to be so much more daring in my fashion choices. I would never have dreamt of yellow shoes in the past. But I made the foray into red last year and had a blast. Then I got a yellow bag for summer and loved it. When I thought about what I wanted for some new flats, I decided that I would really like yellow. I spent quite a few months looking for something that would work and I finally found some. Here they are: <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/Oct/DSCN0238.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....CN0238.jpg</a></p> <p>And here are a couple outfits I wore them with. These were a few weeks ago. The yellow shoes will soon have to be retired for the fall and winter for something warmer. Nonetheless, I'm excited to know they await me come spring and summer.</p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/Oct/DSCN0095.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....CN0095.jpg</a><br /> traditional, crew neck cardi - BR, light violet*<br /> shirred top - Target (swapped), dark purple<br /> slacks - brand, I forget. It's from a suit. black<br /> flats - unisa, yellow</p> <p>You can't see my necklace in the picture but it created some interest. It has a double strand of staggered sunburst patterned circles that are decorated with clear crystal and garnets.</p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/Oct/DSCN0096.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....CN0096.jpg</a><br /> cropped jean jacket - brand? (thrifted), dark denim<br /> v-neck, empire waist top - brand? (swapped), brown with large white polka-dots<br /> pants - Gap (swapped), dark brown<br /> flats - unisa, yellow</p> <p>* I'm trying to be really descriptive for Michelle's sake, just in case she ever reads these. </p>
