And after stating I won't buy more than 5. So much for that. But no regrets. Happy with everything I got so all good. As a fellow planters sufferer well done on the stylish yet comfy shoe front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401922 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:41:44 +0000 Dee 2401922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on having happy feet, hard to feel stylish when your feet are hurting. Love the silver footwear you've added, and it looks like you had great success shopping the second hand market. Well done you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401905 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:42:44 +0000 Angie 2401905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roberta</b>, a relief to hear that your feet are happy in the right shoes!

Glad you found the Vionic shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401893 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 23:39:32 +0000 Cookie 2401893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>High five for secondhand shopping and comfy shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401891 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 23:23:16 +0000 cat2 2401891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blouse! And a shoe refresh is so important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401886 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 22:39:14 +0000 Sal 2401886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the shoes that work and the successful second hand shopping. </p> <p>Love your top five and your posts in general. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401883 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 21:08:41 +0000 Roberta 2401883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, in general, Cole Haan shoes have always been too narrow for me, but these sneakers came in a wide width. I love them, four stars.</p> <p>I realized a couple of years ago that my approach to eBay and Poshmark is like any other online shopping. Be as specific as I can with brand, size, color, and textile. eBay in particular makes it easy to filter for these things. Also, check the measurements and keep in mind what I know works for me and what doesn't. There isn't much room for serendipity with this process, I'll admit. I leave that for in-person shopping, especially when traveling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401879 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 20:31:23 +0000 Suz 2401879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's an excellent recap, <b>Roberta</b>! I'd love your shopping secrets for ebay and Poshmark, if you have any. Do you look for specific items? Do you go in knowing what you are after?&nbsp;</p> <p>You<b> know </b>I am a fan of your Cole Haans. :). Mine are a slightly different style but same glorious silver.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401875 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 19:42:32 +0000 kkards 2401875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver shoes! IMO they’ll make anything and very thing look better. So yay for finding them. And double yay for making the pre loved market work for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401874 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 19:38:44 +0000 Irina 2401874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, love your bag! So fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-brief-report-on-2025#post-2401870 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 19:25:12 +0000 Roberta 2401870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a lot in 2025 - BUT - half of what I bought was secondhand! Sweaters, tops, coats and bags, all great quality and excellent condition. And I thrifted a coat, belt, and boots for my lovely SIL and she was thrilled. The actual stores are not for me, but Poshmark and eBay were great resources this year.&nbsp;</p> <p>My plantar fasciitis flared up and I bought five pairs of Vionic shoes and slippers to soothe my feet (it worked a treat) and fill the gaps left by shoes I could no longer wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Only two purchased items didn't work out this year, and fingers crossed, someone out there is happily wearing them.</p> <p>Here are the top five items, either worn often or filling a wardrobe hole or both.</p> <p>I wish everyone a safe 2026, filled with love and color and beauty.</p>
