Glad you love them, Kristen. </p> <p>KILLER shoes. I see them with stirrup leggings or black textured hose :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103296 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:19:21 +0000 Kristen 103296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand the dilemma over color! I went for the blues because I have a pair of red patent pumps that I've been wearing a lot this fall, and I could not justify having two pairs of reds and no blues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103295 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:19:16 +0000 Debbie 103295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen-I love both of those items. You find some great things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103291 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:54:11 +0000 shiny 103291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kristen! These shoes are so tempting. They are definitely calling my name! However on second thought, they are kinda similar to my red suede nine west pumps? I dunno. It is true that when I fall in love with a shoe, no matter how impractical it may seem, that shoe winds up getting a lot of use... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103287 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:26:41 +0000 Kristen 103287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, the shoes were reviewed on Barking Dog, and there were a lot of links to where they are sold. They're not a 4-inch heel, but they are 3 inches, and it does feel high. But the padding and the arch shape make them totally wearable. </p> <p><a href="http://www.barkingdogshoes.com/newshoe/2009/10/comfortable-womens-shoes-sofft-oriole-pump-review.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.barkingdogshoes.com.....eview.html</a></p> <p>Marianna, I had to break my no-suede vow for these, and believe me, it was tough. But I decided we have enough non-rainy, non-snowy days that I can wear them enough to justify buying them...just not this week, I guess. :(</p> <p>I did swear to Hubby that they complete my fall/winter shoe set, and barring any major issue (like injuring myself and needing to only wear loafers or flats every day) I will not be buying any more shoes this season. I've built up a great collection the last two years, and it's time to enjoy and rotate through them. (And it leaves me more shopping room for dresses, LOL!)</p> <p>ROFL, San, George is my cat. Hubby is Hubby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103254 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:44:33 +0000 medusa 103254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, gorgeous shoes! Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103226 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:04:05 +0000 Anonymous 103226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing better than blue suede shoes! Those are so pretty. I love your pairing of dark blue dress with purple sweater. Beautiful and cheery.<br /> The lounge wear looks so cozy.<br /> Now let's get this straight, is George your husband, or Mr Kitty? I want to know who is going to be sleeping on the lounge wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103221 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:45:43 +0000 marianna 103221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh those are amazing shoes. But wait! I thought you said no suede for Chicago winters? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103214 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:39:25 +0000 Maya 103214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG KITTY! Any hope for intelligent discourse is lost as soon as a kitty comes into the picture (literally). What a handsome specimen of the feline form. He really does seem to admire you Kristen, and with good reason! I saw those Sofft shoes at Nordies and they are very pretty (alongside some amazing 1920s-style mary janes that I only wish I could wear). They look gorgeous on you. The sweater looks great too.</p> <p>I can't wait to see Laura's puffer! I adore Lord and Taylor. I have ranted and raved about this enough so I'll spare everyone from having to read it again, but it truly befuddles me why more people don't shop there more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103213 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:27:56 +0000 Laura 103213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I promise to post a puffer photo! </p> <p>Kristen looks so great in that cozy loungewear sweater. The collar is really cute, and she wears long sweaters better than anyone I know, so it's a no-brainer to pick one out for her. Although I am happy to be loaned out to anyone in search of cozy sweaters. :)</p> <p>Blue suede shoes. I cannot believe how gorgeous they are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103212 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:19:23 +0000 shiny 103212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!!! MUST _ Have_THOSE _ SHOES!!! </p> <p>Please tell me they aren't a 4-inch heel...</p> <p>Wish I could wear Oroblu; bought a pair a few months back, the smallest size was way too long on me. </p> <p>And I want to see a pic of both your puffers! I was looking at the Eddie Bauer site just the other day. I have a puffer, but they did have some nice ones. Please share!</p> <p>The sweater is very cute... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103197 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:30:41 +0000 rute 103197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shoes are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A PIECE OF ART! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103184 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:55:49 +0000 bigi 103184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those shoes. And with the hose. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103182 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:49:45 +0000 Louise 103182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great lounge top i bet George will be fast asleep on it in a flash if you leave it lying around! Those shoes are FANTASTIC, great with the dress and fuchsia cardi x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103178 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:44:56 +0000 RoseandJoan 103178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooo, I'm swooning just like Queenie over those shoes and they are comfortable as well. I love you how you have styled your lounge wear, I would definitely wear that look.</p> <p>Maybe we could clone and loan Laura as a shopping buddy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103177 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:42:27 +0000 Queen Mum 103177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>omg... those are THE cutest shoes!!!! love them.<br /> and what a cozy looking sweater,<br /> but those shoes! I'm swooning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2-new-purchases#post-103175 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:38:27 +0000 Kristen 103175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are ever in need of a cozy, warm sweater or loungewear, you need to bring Laura65 with you when you shop. Girl has a knack for finding the best pieces! </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4046614870/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....046614870/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4046615046/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....otostream/</a></p> <p>This fabulous sweater is from LOFT's lounge line; I couldn't find it on the website, but we spotted it on our coat trip* this weekend. They were having a 20% off sale and I had a $20 Style Rewards, so I got it for about half-price. It is fiiiiiiiiiine. I know it's loungewear, but it was raining and I wasn't really going out much on Saturday except to my WW meeting and grocery shopping, so I wore it with a simple black jersey sack dress, black leggings, and my black cowboy-ish boots. </p> <p>George checked me out and approved! LOL.</p> <p>My second fabulous purchase of the week are my new BLUE SUEDE SHOES. You guys, they are amazing. They're Soffts so they're ridiculously comfortable, and they are cute beyond the telling of it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4032376535/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....032376535/</a><br /> (Look, with the Oroblu fishnets. I am a total convert to these, Angie. They're so much better than any other fishnets I've tried!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/4032376089/in/set-72157622623164450/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....623164450/</a></p> <p>*We did find some coats too on our trip; I got a simple-but-necessary black, lined Anne Klein trench at Macys, and Laura got an adorable faux-fur-hooded cream puffer from Lord &amp; Taylor (I think it was also an Anne Klein). It's not quite the length she wanted, but it looked fabulous on her, and the salesperson gave her a special 25% off discount on top of the sale price so she had to go for it. Then on Sunday I went back to Eddie Bauer Outlet and got my white puffer. I am ready for winter now! </p>
