I also see what you mean about the fit being better with the straight shot and i think they will work for you. I really did want to keep them, it's a gorgeous boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1027201 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 02:22:00 +0000 Kiwichik 1027201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the wide leg pants outfit - may file it away for future reference. I think the Born wedges look fab as does the skirt, however the blue booties are the stars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1027121 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:32:48 +0000 Janet 1027121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie and Una, they are more navy than the close up photos appear. The real color is probably right in between the two shades in these photos. They're really not bright at all. Pretty much a neutral for me. </p> <p>I feel like the gap in these is very manageable. I think it's exaggerated in the close ups because of the contortions I had to do to photograph my feet. The mirror shots do a much better job of showing the fit. </p> <p>Una, too bad we don't wear the same shoe size -- I could send you all my clunkier shoes as I embrace pointy toes again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1027097 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:05:17 +0000 catgirl 1027097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I hesitated to post but I see the same thing as Angie... Maybe it's because my bright booties have largely been orphaned but I'd also like to see how you'd style them. It's definitely a good color for you. I do have a bit of poison eye for this shape but I know you love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1027059 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 23:27:39 +0000 citygirldc 1027059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those booties. Definitely keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026972 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 20:54:18 +0000 Anonymous 1026972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab all around. Love the booties and the printed skirt. I am sorry to hear about your friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026932 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:23:39 +0000 Anonymous 1026932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry to hear of your friend's passing. Your outfit to say your goodbyes was both stylish and respectful. #2 is a lovely look too. You accessorised beautifully, I'm not surprised your clutch gets comments.<br /> Finally, those blue boots are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026931 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 19:17:30 +0000 Susie 1026931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. It sounds like your tribute to him was really well-received.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you look amazing for hot weather dressing. I am so ready for cooler temps!</p> <p>I had ordered (and sadly returned) those same booties but mine were more navy. Maybe it's just the photos that make yours look more blue. I loved the heel and the silver detail on them but the wider ankle just didn't work for me. I wanted to wear them with straight or skinny pants/jeans (over the boots because I don't usually tuck my pants for wearing to work)&nbsp;and there was just too much gap on the boot. </p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026850 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:52:12 +0000 rachylou 1026850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!</p> <p>The pointy toes are right on the money. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026848 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 17:49:27 +0000 CocoLion 1026848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Borns are neutral and not frumpy. &nbsp;I would keep them. &nbsp;A comfortable shoe with a heel is hard to find.</p> <p>Love both of your outfits and the pointy toe boots are so sleek! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026797 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:56:38 +0000 Suz 1026797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, so sorry to hear about your friend. But wow, you looked perfect for the event. Polished, respectful, yet relaxed. (Well, as relaxed as anyone can be in that situation...and I am sure your attire put others at ease.)&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE the booties. I mean seriously adore.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your other summer outfit, too. That clutch with the skirt is fantastic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026783 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:40:27 +0000 JulieJohn 1026783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in #1. I like #2 and the shoes are lovely. Booties = super fab! I love the metal detail on the heel. Nifty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026776 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:27:33 +0000 Jjsloane 1026776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always you look fabulous. I am in love with blue booties.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026767 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 16:19:40 +0000 Lisa 1026767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun new booties, I like the architectrual vibe of the heel on these.&nbsp; My condolences for your friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026672 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:40:08 +0000 Angie 1026672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then you're sorted, Janet. Enjoy your new booties. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026671 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:39:30 +0000 Janet 1026671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day Vies, the pumps in 1 are Nine West but they're kitten heels, not wedges. I've had them for years -- they have aged surprisingly well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026670 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:38:23 +0000 Janet 1026670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I would mostly be wearing these booties with jeans and trousers -- maybe with skirts/dresses and hosiery, probably not bare legs, which I think helps mitigate the gap. I have other boots and booties that are better for skirts/dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026667 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:32:59 +0000 donnat 1026667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! Those booties are fabulous. I may need those myself.<br /> Lovely outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026658 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:20:49 +0000 Day Vies 1026658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the booties! I think we may be shoe twins -- are the shoes in #1 Nine West wedges?&nbsp; I would say these are boring at all. One woman's boring is another woman's fashionable </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026653 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:18:49 +0000 Angie 1026653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You dress beautifully for Summer heat, fullstop. </p> <p>I just love you in #1. A stunning and respectful tribute to your friend. My condolences. </p> <p>I love the blue booties, but worry about the gaping ankle, Janet. It's just not that type of style, which in my mind needs to fit sleeker on the ankle. But it's fine if you wear them under trousers and jeans. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026649 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:14:26 +0000 Anonymous 1026649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry about your friend too. What a nice tribute you paid him.</p> <p>I love your Madewell clutch. Wow, does that ever elevate a casual outfit. That is just the kind of clutch I need. You are fab in a wide leg trouser and a pointy toe Janet. Just sayin. I can't get a good look at your nude sandals, but the wide straps keep them from veering into the "comfort sandal zone" I think. New blue booties are out. of. this. world. Yeah, that's a keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026637 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 14:01:05 +0000 texstyle 1026637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really sorry for the loss of your friend. You dressed in a very appropriate and pretty way to honor him. I like the pattern of the bag and shoes to add some interest.</p> <p>Those new booties are perfect for you! So fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026626 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:49:00 +0000 Liz A. 1026626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those booties are so freakin fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026625 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:48:12 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1026625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet - <br />I am sorry about the loss of your friend.&nbsp; You look great in both of these outfits.&nbsp; The shoes in #2 look fine to me, but oh my gosh I love those blue boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-wiws-and-new-blue-booties#post-1026621 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 13:43:53 +0000 Janet 1026621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not my most exciting outfits, and frankly, I'm tired of summer dressing, but I thought I'd share since I actually bothered to take photos, however hurriedly. </p> <p>#1 was for a funeral yesterday. One of my radio colleagues from years past -- we worked at two different stations together, and he was a great guy. He had the most wonderful, laid-back NPR-ish delivery for a music DJ, and was a big influence on me (I was 22 and a big fan when I started working at the first station with him). I did a brief set of music for him yesterday at the station where I work now, and got a bunch of nice phone calls and Facebook messages thanking me for the tribute. </p> <p>It was a hot day, so I kept it simple. Grey wide-leg trousers, black silk Theory drape-front top, animal print kitten-heel pumps, cuff, and animal print bag. In retrospect, I think I could have used a necklace, but I felt pretty good in this, considering the circumstances. </p> <p>#2 was for running errands on Monday. The Zara leopard print skirt is a semi-orphan because it stretches out and wrinkles a bit with wear, and it can't be worn with hosiery, so it just doesn't come out to play very often. I dressed it down with my big white western shirt from Anthro and my casual tan Born wedges that may not look terribly fab but are extremely comfortable for a shoe with some height to it. Added the Madewell clutch, which got several compliments. What do you think about these shoes? They are such workhorses I hate to think they're unfab, but I may be in the market for a replacement next spring. </p> <p>#3-8 New booties that were my birthday discount treat from Anthro! They're by Boutique 9 and are quite comfy, so I'm thinking they are a big keep. In my footwear clean out, I decided I would like some pointier-toe, more refined boots or booties, and I love the blue color of these (which works for a neutral for me), the modified wedge heel, the moderately pointed toe, and the silver accent on the heel. It's the same pair of boots in both sets of pictures - the ones in the mirror just look quite dark. </p> <p>Feedback and comments welcome! </p>
