It is also closer to neutral for me because my skin is warm colored. The main thing is for them to be comfortable: I wore silver ones today to buy groceries and it got a bit painful on my left bunion bone. The shoe has a potato in it now a la Shannon and fingers crossed it will stretch enough!<br />Grey perforated shoes are more like summer shoes for me when it is hot but these metallic ones are more spring weather, they may be too hot for a hot day. <br />Angie, if these jeans short for you I have no complain to make anymore. BTW my light Catherine jeans from NAS are 1.5" longer than the white ones.<br />Carole, Rosewood color must be fab too, I would go for it but I already have 2 pairs of nude summer shoes.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920406 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:00:51 +0000 Marley 920406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The&nbsp; BFs look great on you Sveta!&nbsp; And, I'm partial to silver these days, so I vote silver - they look great with that GAP kitty blouse! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920232 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:08:00 +0000 Carole 920232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice haul-love the rolled jeans, can relate to issues of not finding long enough lengths so I have resorted to rolling as well and love the casual vibe. I have the Me Too's on order and you are making me wish I ordered the gray, I have the Rosewood color coming. Nice metallic flats, also, since you have the gray Me Too's I would vote for the gold metallic but both are equally great. FAB boots, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920209 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:40:47 +0000 Scarlet 920209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans will be great rolled. I love those grey Me Toos. I would vote for the gold flats since the silver is similar to grey. On the other hand the silver does have a nice tone on tone look in the outfit you show here. Good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920120 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:02:56 +0000 rachylou 920120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that shirt you're wearing with the white jeans.<br /><br />My personal fave of the shoes are the Adam Tuckers.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920097 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:17:12 +0000 lyn67 920097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Silver! (it goes fab with your already silver&nbsp;snakeskin belt and coloring!)&nbsp;Great haul Sveta! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920067 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:17:05 +0000 Inge 920067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry to hear the white skinnies didn't work out, Sveta, but you have definitely got yourself an amazing pair of white BF jeans!! Yay!! (I hear you on the length, they're too short for me also, but I don't mind rolling them). Love them with the light blue printed shirt and patterned belt here.<br /><br />I love the dove grey slipper flats, I also vote silver for the Isaac Mizrahi flats and am holding thumbs that you can stretch the right Blondo boot a bit, because those are great too.<br /><br />What a haul, Sveta, I'm smiling just looking at your new loot. Do enjoy. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920064 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:07:55 +0000 Nicole D 920064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nice haul. &nbsp;I really like the jeans, sorry they are a bit short but they look great rolled. &nbsp;I love those MeToos! &nbsp;Remeber looking at them during my perforation cravings. &nbsp;Love the metallic flats too. &nbsp;And I bet those boots will be year-round faves!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-920005 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:37:01 +0000 Nadya 920005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You give me hope because I've sent back what feels like a hundred pairs of jeans and shoes this month trying to find white jeans, other summer jeans and flats!</p> <p>I'm with Claire to keep both the Mizrahis if you can, but if not I'd keep the gold since the new grey flats may fill a similar need to silver. I hope the boots work out -- they are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919970 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:08:41 +0000 Anonymous 919970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well it looks like your risk-taking has paid off! Those white jeans look great on you and are only border-line short. They would work great with spring booties, gladiators or sandals with a wide ankle-strap (not sure if you have any of those) and a few rolls will look great too. I love all of the&nbsp;slipper flats! As for the IM color choice, both metallics are great. Have you tried taking them into your closet and holding up each pair against the bulk of your summer clothes to see if one looks better with them than the other? If they are really comfortable, I'd keep them both! Shoes are not easy for you to find, right?&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919966 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:01:57 +0000 Angie 919966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are a VERY successful shopping risk taker! Great haul, Sveta :)<br /><br />The white Catherine BFs are too short for me too. Have to roll. The only full length BFs I have found are the True Religion Camerons. Oh well! They look great rolled :)<br /><br />I vote silver flats! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919964 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:59:01 +0000 Susie 919964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great haul! I really like the jeans on you. I like both metallics but always tend to prefer silver. However, the gray works as the silver would so maybe choose the gold to cover both warm and cool? Or keep both because its a great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919957 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:49:38 +0000 Janet 919957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all look great, Sveta, especially the metallic shoes! Love! </p> <p>I am surprising myself, since I am normally a silver girl, by having a slight preference for the gold on you. However, the silver does look really great with the white and blue, so I'm torn. </p> <p>Nice haul! Glad you had so much success. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919954 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 13:39:41 +0000 Suz 919954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These look great, Sveta, and you are seriously tempted me to do some more white-jeans shopping of my own!&nbsp;<br /><br />What do you mean by the "crotch -fold?" I am curious. I want to know what it looks like.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919767 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:22:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You're the sweetest enabler ever Sveta! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919761 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:18:02 +0000 Sveta 919761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Go for them, girl! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919758 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:15:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the clarification Sveta - that' what I need. My silly waist is pretty much right underneath my bust line for goodness sake. A high rise is what I'm after. Thanks for the info https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919756 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:11:46 +0000 Sveta 919756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, it is too high on me and I get that crotch&nbsp;fold I cannot stand. It is MY rise which is too low.<br />Makrame, thanks, maybe I should keep both...:-)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919753 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:08:34 +0000 Makrame 919753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great shoes and the BF jeans look good, too! &nbsp;I have Me Toos&nbsp;&nbsp;in the same color&nbsp;on my wish list for a while.<br /><br />Both colors of metallic flats look good; hard to know which would work better with your wardrobe (although silver looks especially good with white and blue in 6 and 7). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919752 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:06:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh wait...maybe I misunderstood - do you mean the waist of the pants are too high on you or too low? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919749 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:04:00 +0000 Sveta 919749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, I got 1 and 2 sizes up in both. 2 sizes up was too much but 1 size up was good in skinnies as well, with ease but not too big except for that&nbsp;darn low rise. How come I have low rise with my height anyway?! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919746 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 02:00:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 919746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well...LOVE everything!<br /><br />And I know a long rise isn't great for you, but it is great for me - so now I'm thinking of biting the bullet and ordering these white jeans too. Did you also go up one size in the skinnies Sveta or just in the BF jeans? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919732 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 01:36:40 +0000 Sveta 919732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Day Vies and Kelly - thanks. I am glad that you like the jeans. Me Toos are comfy! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919703 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:58:55 +0000 kellygirl 919703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great haul, Sveta. Love the boyfriend jeans and the shoes are to die for. I have a slight preference for the gold--but both are fab. Love the MeToo's--I've been eyeing those as well. They look so comfy. The booties look like a great replacement for the ones you wore out in Europe. So cute! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919701 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:57:19 +0000 Day Vies 919701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the white jeans and the metallic shoes! I think this is a great haul!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-bout-of-power-shopping#post-919696 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 00:51:07 +0000 Sveta 919696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have decided to bite the bullet and order some jeans and shoes from US to be delivered on the border. Today was the day of picking it up and here are the results.<br />I have ordered <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/kut-from-the-kloth-catherine-slim-boyfriend-jeans/3493064?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">KUT BF jeans</a> and <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/kut-from-the-kloth-skinny-jeans-white-wash/3225961?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">KUT skinny jeans</a> in white in 2 sizes each. Skinny jeans were a good fit everywhere except the rise - too long again&nbsp; :-(<br />However BF jeans were better so I decided to keep them - 1 size up. Somehow I don't mind when rise is a bit long and there is some crotch wrinkling for BF jenas but for skinnies I cannot stand it!<br />My only regret is the length - TOO SHORT again!!! Oh well, I guess I will roll the up for summer, they are too short to wear unrolled - right? See pics 1-3.<br /><br />I also ordered a whole bunch of shoes and this is what I kept so far:<br />1. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/adam-tucker-me-too-slip-on/3428397?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=DOVE&amp;resultback=1368" rel="nofollow">Me Too Adam Tucker in Dove grey</a>. I have also ordered a black pair but even with the cutouts it felt too heavy for summer. I guess I am not a black shoe person really! Pic 1 and 4<br />2. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/isaac-mizrahi-new-york-kailyn-flat/3402542?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=GREY&amp;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">Isaac Mizrahi flats</a> in silver and gold. I could not decide between the colors so I brought both home for now. Pic 3 and 5 show gold and pic 6-7 silver. Which color should I keep?<br />3. <a href="http://www.zappos.com/blondo-raven-medium-brown" rel="nofollow">Blondo short boots</a> in grey color. I am in love! The only issue is the right one is a bit tight for the 4th toe, if i cna stretch them out they will be keepers. They are waterproof and slip-resistant and will fill a current hole of the shorter winter boots for me to wear with non-skinny trousers - pics 8-9<br /><br />This was my haul for today and hopefully none will be a shopping mistake :-)<br />
