I bought and returned a pair of very good looking western style booties even though they were reasonably comfortable, I knew I would not grab them for walking. So with a heavy heart I returned them but was quite proud of myself as they were not going to get worn too much. I have a few of those already. I like outfits 1 and 2 especially, great silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trends-of-2025#post-2401914 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 04:52:22 +0000 Nadine 2401914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cookie, thanks for the info! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trends-of-2025#post-2401906 Fri, 02 Jan 2026 01:08:02 +0000 Cookie 2401906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you so much, I would never have thought to describe a style as “honest” but it is a compliment I will treasure.</p> <p>Nadine, the blue-green shoes are Fluevogs!

Love yours in #8.&nbsp;<b><br /></b></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accidental-trends-of-2025#post-2401803 Thu, 01 Jan 2026 15:40:45 +0000 Cookie 2401803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn’t really going to participate in the yearly retrospection activity because I hate drawing attention to the passage of time and I am not as analytical and intentional about dressing as many of you are. However, if I really focus, these themes stand out from the past year, and all are about things I didn’t buy:</p> <p>1. I did not buy anything at retail all year besides the attached items and two or three basically souvenir T-shirts (which I like and wear, don’t get me wrong). Besides the bronze Dansko shoes, which I got on Amazon, none were bought from a chain or big store. (The first three items, two skirts and a raincoat, were from a single trip to an eccentric discount place in my area.) Everything else I bought was thrifted and a couple of eBay/Poshmark buys. I didn’t really set out to do this … it just happened.</p> <p>2. I did not acquire any more retro/pinup-adjacent styles. Again not really a conscious decision. I reserve the right to do so going forward!</p> <p>3. I did not buy any shoes I can’t walk at least a mile in. This was the only thing I did make a conscious effort with. I just don’t have enough occasions to wear purely decorative shoes. Even if I went to my office more, no one would be there to appreciate them. Boo hoo.</p> <p>I hope everyone had comfortably, festively attired and happy holidays! </p>
