Although my Simples aren't like the ones they have now; I had retro Simple Sugars that were really similar to the low-top All Star Chucks.</p> <p>So when you refer to Converses/Chucks you are talking about the high-top or low-top versions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88781 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:02:02 +0000 Kristen 88781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, Angie is right, you are too cute.</p> <p>Marlene, the Naturalizer style is Loren. Check the outlets since I don't think they carry the same shoes as the regular stores. </p> <p>Angie, I think you, Inge and I should post one outfit in our red Converses, just to show all the doubters how fun they can be. Are you in? Inge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88771 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:30:18 +0000 Angie 88771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh darling, Cathy. Let me enlighten you :0)</p> <p>Simple Sugar shoes aren't Converse! Those *do* look more like gear and I would also not wear them. But Converse are 100% retro. They haven’t changed the aesthetic of Chucks (which are the only Converse I wear), since the 50’s. I dare you to give them a bash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88758 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 01:41:41 +0000 cciele 88758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the casual sneaker look (with Simple Sugar shoes) about ten years ago and never got into it. I guess I equate sneakers with gear, and I only wear gear when I'm working out or hiking or whatever.</p> <p>I think it's a cute look on certain people (the mixing of sneakers and "nicer" clothes), but I don't like it on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88737 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:40:06 +0000 Angie 88737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy!!! What is there NOT to get about Converse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88734 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:23:39 +0000 cciele 88734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a bow/ruffle person, but those bow booties -- wow! Fabulous, and you are smokin' in that outfit!</p> <p>Converse is another shoe I don't quite get. Would love to see how you style them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88732 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:52:10 +0000 kellygirl 88732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a sucker for shoes! Lurve the bows and the nude heels. You've got a killer haul. Love them all and can't wait to see what you do with them!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88730 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 22:25:15 +0000 Angie 88730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are red Converse twins!

Very impressive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88682 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:03:01 +0000 Marlene1 88682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, could you please post the style name for the Naturalizer shoes with the bow? I love them! Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88660 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:03:46 +0000 rute 88660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh... my God.. Kirsten.. Fabulous!</p> <p>You have a killer style.. and those shoes will be the final touch..</p> <p>love all of them, but the first ones, the nude ones and the MK sandals... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88654 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:22:30 +0000 Alexandra 88654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely booties! And Converse, of course. I'm on my fifth pair of hot pink Cons and just bought my 53 year old mum a pair in Carolina Blue. To anyone on the fence about them, I say go for it! Classic look, tons of colors and patterns to choose from.. Not too many other shoes can say the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88623 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:20:58 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 88623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a pair of red leather cons which I loved! I now have a white pair and have recently seen a green croc leather pair which I quite love.</p> <p>BTW I love your booties they are sweet and sylish at the same time and the fabric look is great as it really softens them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88620 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:10:55 +0000 Kristen 88620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, so glad I have some fellow bow-bootie lovers here! For a while I wasn't sure if they were over the top but I don't think they will be. They should be a nice change-up from my heeled oxford styled booties.</p> <p>Inge, I was eyeing the bright yellows too! Then I realized I wear a lot of bright yellow tops in my casual outfits, and that would be just too matchy. The red is a better contrast for that. </p> <p>But now that I *have* the red, maybe the yellows can be next... :):) </p> <p>Velvetychocolate, I will let you know if I find any good red bags; I really do think that's the right contrast color for me, given the browns and greys of my neutrals, and the blues, teals, purples, yellows and oranges of my main colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88505 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:30:16 +0000 velvetychocolate 88505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new bow shoes - they are gorgeous. I think the wine patent LC boots are beautiful too. </p> <p>You now have me convinced I need a red bag for fall. Also looking forward to seeing you find chestnut/cognac boots. </p> <p>I'm not ready for the Converse yet. Baby steps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88487 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:58:22 +0000 Inge 88487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear that Robin. Maybe you could post a picture for us, would that help?<br /> How have you been wearing them? I think they look differently paired with skinny jeans/straight-legged trousers and wide-legged trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88485 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:56:30 +0000 RobinAshleySmith 88485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh I have these red converse and they are still plaguing me, everytime I try to wear them I feel like a clown </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88473 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:41:52 +0000 Inge 88473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are amassing quite the shoe collection there Kristen. The grey ones with the bows are so fab!! (you have killer legs by the way!).</p> <p>And I'm honoured I inspired you to go for the red Converse, you won't regret it. I've worn mine countless times over the last few months. (I'm thinking of bright yellow for my next pair;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88471 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:38:06 +0000 RoseandJoan 88471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you will look very 'Miss Moneypenny' in the shoots (shoe/boots). I think you are right and they will look even better with tights.</p> <p>I also think you can never ever own too many pairs of converse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88470 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:36:48 +0000 karlie 88470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great shoes! The booties are way cute. And, I've wanted to jump on the Converse bandwagon for awhile now but I'm always afraid I'll feel juvenile in them. I love that you got red! I may be brave enough to get a pair for myself now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88457 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:09:53 +0000 marianna 88457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally loving all the bows and ruffles for the fall as well. I love those booties! SO adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-shoes-bow-booties-and-red-converse#post-88456 Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:06:57 +0000 Kristen 88456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I blogged about my new fall shoe purchaes, but a couple of them may be of interest to some people so I thought I would post it here.</p> <p><a href="http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.com/2009/08/fall-shoes.html" rel="nofollow">http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....shoes.html</a></p> <p>Maya, I remember you posted those ADORABLE booties with the bows; I think I found the type that will work for me! I love these because they are fabric, but not suede, which is key for me. The heel height is just right, the shoe is very comfortable, and they are cute as the dickens. Annd, they were $39 at the Naturalizer outlet. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3850064821/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....850064821/</a></p> <p>I now cannot wait for fall to start, because I think with hose and tights they will look best. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3850870046/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....850870046/</a></p> <p>Thanks to seeing Inge during the challenge chain in her red Converse, I finally took the plunge and got a second color (I have charcoal gray). LOVE them!</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kudzuplanet/3850859154/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/k.....850859154/</a></p> <p>I will also be looking for a red bag, and chestnut knee-high boots. I'll keep you guys posted if I find any good ones! </p>
