They are super comfortable though, and after yesterday, I think I will be wearing them a little more often &nbsp;- albeit funked up with jeans and a jacket &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/87---first-time-ive-been-able-to-dress-the-ensemble-that-day/page/2#post-1536101 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 13:41:40 +0000 Colette 1536101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful and I cannot believe you only wore those shoes once.

And I feel you; most dresses seem to fall <i>casual</i> casual or right up to dressy/worky.

And I thought you were struggling with casual dresses (said she who also struggles with casual dresses) The sandals+sleevelessness work really well here.

The butt vest is one thing - but regular leggings with a fashionable oversized tunic is another.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/87---first-time-ive-been-able-to-dress-the-ensemble-that-day#post-1535666 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 20:30:09 +0000 Angie 1535666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look, Lisa.

Those really are great sandals...but I won't buy from Amazon. &nbsp;;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Re the dress -- I think the Arcteryx one is actually last year's model, too, but a few were still available earlier in the season. Lole probably makes some similar styles every year, too. They're a nice maker of gear type clothes and my puffer coat is even a Lole!&nbsp;</p> <p>Re: leggings. Heaven only knows. I think it might be that my legs are too short and too muscular. Proportions always seem to look wrong. Remember the butt-vest that looked so great on everyone else? Ack. Who knows? My legs are definitely <b>NOT</b> my strong suit. Actually, I'm not sure what is, figure wise. No bust, bad legs, slight muffinage...oy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/87---first-time-ive-been-able-to-dress-the-ensemble-that-day#post-1535641 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 19:59:13 +0000 Anonymous 1535641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>CJ -&nbsp;</b>the Arcteryx is in Suz's finds somewhere.

These are cheapo non-leather sandals from the Steve Madden store last summer - but the link I used to get the find shows them available from amazon. DON"T BUY FROM AMAZON - she says like a broken record &nbsp;They are super comfy and foot flattering (I have narrowish &nbsp;feet and thin ankles and &nbsp;often rattle around inside stappy shoes . What's up with leggings like these? &nbsp;Is it about your legs not being as long as you think they should be for these? &nbsp;I'll admit that's one thing I do have in my favour, is longish lean legs . &nbsp;Legs are the last to go, or something ? &nbsp;Ha! &nbsp;These are those bamboo one-size leggings that all the gift shops carry - and they are comfortable, but kind of useless in that I am always pulling them up, and they are a little too forgiving and not tight enough. I keep buying them though because I like the hand and feel. &nbsp;Color retains very well in laundering too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/87---first-time-ive-been-able-to-dress-the-ensemble-that-day#post-1535502 Fri, 07 Aug 2015 16:57:02 +0000 Suz 1535502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh! I love this on you, <b>Lisa</b>. See how well you wear leggings?? GAH! It slays me. How come it doesn't work like that on me? Just goes to show you the truth of what you wrote yesterday...</p> <p>I also really love those sandals. Are they still available, do you know? (Said the lemming...again...) </p>
