I love how they both turned out. Feeling "fably frugal" appeals to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1942640 Sun, 29 Jul 2018 21:32:36 +0000 karen13 1942640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy and Carla - I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Of course, it only encourages me never to throw anything away.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1941826 Fri, 27 Jul 2018 00:04:31 +0000 Carla 1941826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, the burgundy shoes are kind of gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1941797 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 22:08:11 +0000 rachylou 1941797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s quite brilliant, Karen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1941721 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 18:44:52 +0000 karen13 1941721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is so interesting how some of us hang on to things! While I have never been a "shoe" person, I still have a couple of pairs of pumps from corporate days over 15 years ago. </p> <p>Last winter I pulled out a pair and leather-painted them from a muddy brown (Angelus leather paint worked pretty darn well, although requires occasional touch up) when I didn't want to spring for a burgundy shoe that I would only wear with one pair of pants and very rarely. </p> <p>And I recovered the ugly rubber heel of another black pair to bling it up for similar reasons. I convinced myself the block heels from 20 years ago would pass muster. And I did wear them and felt fably frugal.</p> <p>So now I only have one unretouched vintage pair left (a navy pump with a 2.5" heel). I should probably donate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1941396 Thu, 26 Jul 2018 01:39:00 +0000 anne 1941396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of 3 inch heels that I'm not giving up on (I wear 2 inch for work regularly). They are both in the category of "I probably shouldn't have bought this"&nbsp; (I bought them in my early YLF years, so they'd be at least 6 years old) but come out a few times a year. I don't have a lot of shoes by YLF standards and I have room to store them. Since I wear running shoes for my commute to work I could actually wear them for work a bit more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1940962 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 21:45:02 +0000 Style Fan 1940962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thankfully there are more fabulous dressy flats now than there were 10 years ago when I started looking (maybe before that). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1940944 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 21:09:57 +0000 Anonymous 1940944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie.&nbsp; Go for fabulous, pretty dressy flats.&nbsp; You never know when you will have to stand an hour in a buffet line or reception or walk a mile to get to the car because your companion wants to walk off the meal </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1940875 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 18:25:15 +0000 rachylou 1940875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On that note, yeah... they’re pretty hard to get to, all being in under-bed storage. If I could wear them, I probably still couldn’t get to them in the sort of time I allow myself for dressing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1940827 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 16:30:06 +0000 The Cat 1940827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To all you who feel emotional connected to shoes and other items you don't wear any longer and hesitate to let go: How about taking photos of them before you pass them on and use the space for items you'll actually wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1940824 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 16:20:18 +0000 Angie 1940824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass on.....and opt for a dressy flat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/but-i-note#post-1940805 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 15:45:49 +0000 cindysmith 1940805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have a few pairs of heels that I can't seem to let go of.
