A lower shaft would certainly sort out the gaping at the top. All part of ' attention to fit ' . Thank you so much, Angie. ❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877519 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 01:22:46 +0000 Angie 1877519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, since you're in the market for a pair of tall boots with lower heels, you might as well get a pair that fit more snugly on the calf, and are not quite as high in the shaft.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877517 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 01:13:48 +0000 Carla 1877517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, your comment sent me off to do some measurements.<br /> The thickest part of my calf measures 14 in. around, and boots measure 15 in. at that point - so only 1 inch difference. However, at the top of the boot it measures 16 inches and is the boot's widest point. I have muscular legs, but my ankles and knees are narrow, so the boot gaps a the top. The boots are riding style, are 4.5 years old, and my only tall boots. </p> <p>I noticed the gap in pics taken last month, but wasn't sure what to think other than it was the nature of this type of boot. Should I be looking at a more form fitting boot? I wear these with skirts and dresses, but also with leggings or jeans tucked in.</p> <p>I don't love high boots, and was thinking of replacing these with ones with lower heels. Heel height on these is 1 inch and I'd like to go lower.</p> <p>Joy, not retired yet! (Else I'd go shopping for loungewear and fill that wardrobe hole!). 2.5 months to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877516 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 01:13:37 +0000 Anonymous 1877516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the column of black too!<br /> The simplicity is nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877512 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 00:52:20 +0000 Bonnie 1877512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is the wine velour top. Congrats on your retirement!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877503 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 00:01:09 +0000 Angie 1877503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #2 best. Happy Retirement!</p> <p>The tall boots may have gotten a little wide and big, <b>Carla</b>. What do you think?&nbsp;<b></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877497 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 23:44:40 +0000 Anonymous 1877497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!&nbsp; Retirement means easy outfits that can do chores and cleaning, decent enough to invite a neighbor in for coffee or tea, can walk the dog, be ready in minutes to go out for lunch or something, and won't get wrinkled if you lie down for a nap.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-first-10-days#post-1877493 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 23:34:23 +0000 Carla 1877493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Repeat, repeat, repeat. Having tasked myself with a small chore a day (hang art, reupholster 2 dining room chairs, reorganize storage, take down Christmas tree, etc.) I was happiest in jeans and one of 3 identical black T’s or a velour top days 1-7. Back at work Monday it was all about staying warm in a cold office so velour top or black sweater over black (textured) leggings. </p> <p>Jeans - MWWH<br /> Black 3/4 T’s x 3 -Uniqlo<br /> Wine velour top - Winners<br /> Black sweater - MWWH<br /> Black leggings - MWWH<br /> Black tank under sweater - Sears</p> <p>8 garments supplemented by sneakers, booties, tall boots, winter coat, scarf, gloves, bag - another 8 items.</p> <p>Since I’m pretty busy, a simple formula of high comfort items that I don’t have to think too much about works best. </p> <p>The stay at home outfits are meh, but I like the column of black for work and when I did a repeat, wore my tall boots and liked that look best. </p>
