Looks like you just had one of those days Great purchases. You also have lovely hair! My hair was that color when I was younger. Thanks for giving me a smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644071 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:40:23 +0000 Tanya 644071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the shoes and the top are perfect Astrid! What a great find! An I love both outfits you have put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644069 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:35:44 +0000 Astrid 644069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia! I guess these will be worn mostly with skirts and dresses. When it's cold enough for jeans I normally prefer to wear socks and other shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644064 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:24:53 +0000 Jaime 644064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ecco makes great shoes and those look terrific. I especially like them with the skirt and new top, which is also a winner. Great outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644062 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:22:44 +0000 Astrid 644062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Manidipa! Yes, Ecco makes a lot of gearish shoes, but they also always have a few models in their range that are more elegant. I love the detail on these too, much more interesting than my last pair that was just plain black. I agree, the top has all of 'my' colors. I love the pattern too and you're right, it really echoes my hair a bit, I didn't even think about that. Btw, I found the ikat top in some more colors. I wasn't sure about them though, so I didn't buy one of them. One had a black background with a cream colored pattern and the other was white with a light brown. I'd love to find it in blue!</p> <p>Thanks Fashionista!</p> <p>ETA<br /> Thanks Marianna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644057 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:16:56 +0000 marianna 644057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644024 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:25:30 +0000 fashionista 644024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is so gorgeous and I loved the way you styled it.<br /> And those are one of the cutest pair of flats I am seeing lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-644019 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:19:12 +0000 ManidipaM 644019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, congratulations is all I can say! Those Eccos look like a real steal! I've got friends here who hunt down Eccos at any cost when they travel, and their comfort and sturdiness is legendary. These also look very elegant and with just enough detailing to make them stand out among a bevy of black ballet shoes. (My friends usually choose more 'gearish' versions, somehow. But if that's the norm for Eccos, you struck gold all the way.)</p> <p>Love the paisley top too --- great jewel tones in an intricate rendition of a classic boho print. I always enjoy interlocked or nested paisleys even more than spaced out patterns. Love the way their curvy shape echoes your curly hair. And you always wear blues and greens beautifully, so we're seeing a win-win-win here!</p> <p>Best of all, both buys look very *you*! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643998 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 09:06:10 +0000 Astrid 643998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to everyone!</p> <p>@Sheila<br /> You're right, I think I'm going to wear these a lot. The top year around, because I do a lot of layering in the winter, and the shoes in fall and spring as well, with tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643574 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:56:37 +0000 Sheila 643574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, I love both purchases. Your taste is very close to mine...I love classics but with a twist and both of these--the little straps on the shoes and the modern paisley design on the top--really tickle my own personal style-bone! I think you'll find yourself wearing these a lot this summer and into the Fall, as the top looks great under a jacket or suit blazer. Well done, especially on the super price for the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643571 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:52:58 +0000 jayne 643571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ecco are great and these ballerinas are so cute!<br /> Love this new paisley top on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643569 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:51:42 +0000 qfbrenda 643569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are perfect additions to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643557 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 19:35:30 +0000 christieanne 643557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing find and perfect for your needs. I like the little wedge - just perfect to give skirts a little height but comfy like a flat. Ecco does seem well made so big score!<br /> The blouse looks great on you - like your mixes with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643536 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:57:27 +0000 Astrid 643536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! I haven't had any Ecco shoes before, but I agree that these seem to be really well made. And comfortable too. I'm really happy with the top too, love the colors and the print.</p> <p>Thanks Heather and Kirti!</p> <p>Thanks Meredith. I've heard good things about Ecco too, but I never bought any Ecco shoes because they are too expensive for me at full price. But I'm so happy I found these on sale. Good luck with your search, I'm sure you'll find the perfect pair soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643528 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:49:32 +0000 Meredith1953 643528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ecco is such a great brand so this is a major find! The flats will go with pretty much everything! I am looking for nice black flats and am just slightly jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643525 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:46:34 +0000 Kirti 643525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flats look awesome! And the top is very pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643511 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:35:42 +0000 Heather 643511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to dig, Astrid! Very, very awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643510 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:34:54 +0000 Suz 643510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, those are perfect purchases. I love the flats and you will love them, too! Eccos are wonderful shoes. They generally fit me very well (not 100% of the styles, but many) and are well made and comfortable. And the top is cool, summery, in your colours, and a boho-ish print. Great shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643494 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 18:06:09 +0000 Astrid 643494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Claire. I don't think so either - I wore my last black ballet flats a lot, I had to throw them away last year because they were worn out. It really was a lucky find!</p> <p>Thanks bj1111! And thanks for that great compliment! I'm actually getting a lot compliments on my smile IRL too.</p> <p>Thanks Shannon! I really like that outfit, I think I'm going to wear it exactly like that. Glad you like the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643488 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:59:58 +0000 Transcona Shannon 643488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my - you look so fantastic in pic #4/5 - what a fabulous outfit on you Astrid! The top is gorgeous and the flats are absolutely perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643475 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:47:41 +0000 bj1111 643475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>super buy! very versatile. fyi...i am l.o.v.i.n.g. your smile. it's a bit naughty, girly, i've-got-a-secret-ish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643473 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:46:17 +0000 Anonymous 643473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is perfectly beautiful on you and you will NOT be sorry you bought those fabulous flats. They will go with practically everything in your wardrobe (see they already go with your jeans and black skirt). The possibilities are endless. So glad you snapped them up for a good deal. They sound comfortable and practical for walking too! Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bought-black-ballet-flatswedges-and-a-top#post-643463 Mon, 11 Jun 2012 17:42:08 +0000 Astrid 643463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I decided to look for some black shoes on my way home after work and I found these in the first store! The brand is Ecco and they were marked down from 110€ to 50€. They had them in the sale pile with all different kind of shoes and it was only one pair, just in my size. They are comfortable and I didn't hesitate long. </p> <p>They are a bit more 'solid' like my other ballet flats, they have a tiny wedge and a real grip sole. They are comfortable with bare feet, but I guess I'll wear them more with tights when it isn't hot. </p> <p>What do you think? Do you like them? They were such a lucky find that I'm bent on keeping them.</p> <p>The other new thing is the top I'm wearing. Also not returnable because it was final sale, but I like it and I'm still needing some more tops for summer. </p>
