Just ordered some $28 ankle boots from 6pm.com. They didn't work for me, but my DD15 loved them and kept them, so that's a win. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932862 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:48:19 +0000 Christina F. 1932862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are great, and they seem<br /> like something you will wear the heck or of when the time comes. They seem to flawlessly fit with your style, to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932858 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:37:59 +0000 Barbara Diane 1932858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And those boots are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932857 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 15:37:37 +0000 Barbara Diane 1932857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, you may not see this, but, you may need to buy for your back/shoulders and then have them taken in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932831 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 12:47:37 +0000 Anonymous 1932831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Staysfit</b> -- It never occurred to me that blazers were hard to fit. &nbsp;Having seen you make that comment earlier, I started trying on blazers every single time I've been at the mall. &nbsp;I have a broad back and square shoulder line. &nbsp;When I size correctly for my back/shoulders, the body of the blazer is huge. &nbsp;Evidently, this was not a problem 22 pounds ago. &nbsp;It is now. &nbsp;</p> <p>Taking your advice, I am trying on blazers every chance I get. &nbsp;I don't need many in my wardrobe, but I do need <u>two</u> well fitting blazers for work. &nbsp;Right now, I have none. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932811 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 10:58:36 +0000 Staysfit 1932811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely buy my essentials and basics if I find them off season! I also will purchase a well fitting blazer any time I find one because they are so darn hard for me to find that I’m willing to part with whatever money I have just to own another. So good for you for knowing yourself well, and following your mind and heart! Wear them well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932809 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 10:37:20 +0000 Anonymous 1932809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have stopped out-of-season shopping, but there are exceptions to every rule. &nbsp;This is one of those exceptions. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932800 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 08:48:25 +0000 Style Fan 1932800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous.&nbsp; I also find burgundy footwear to be very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932779 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 02:08:05 +0000 rachylou 1932779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great score and definitely brings a different vibe/variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932772 Sat, 30 Jun 2018 01:13:30 +0000 Toban 1932772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfect find for your style!

I clicked on your post because I remembered your other gorgeous burgundy booties. In my Mediterranean climate, I rarely have need for truly hot weather items or truly winter items so consider those booties part of my allocation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-my-fw-booties-and-thoughts-on-shopping-out-of-season#post-1932741 Fri, 29 Jun 2018 21:54:45 +0000 jussie 1932741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely choice.

On to fall! Ridiculous, I know, as the northeast heads into a stretch of days with a heat index of 100+... but hey. I stopped into a local shoe store today, with the intent of finding new water shoes for DS. Lo and behold, I came across these Ecco wedge boots on a clearance rack, a lonely pair in a size 40. I can't usually wear Ecco boots -- I've tried the Shape and Touch models and they're both too narrow in the toe. But this pair looked promisingly roomy and the leather is so, so soft. </p> <p>I tried them on with a doubled-up pair of lightweight socks (to replicate my thicker winter socks) and they proved remarkably comfortable. They were also marked down quite a bit more than the Zappos price (see Find -- quite a few sizes left if anyone is interested and able to wrap their minds around cold weather shopping in the height of summer). Now, admittedly, I already have a pair of boots in almost the exact same colour and the same shaft height, just a smidge lower heel, but they are lace-up cap-toe boots -- totally different vibe (see second Find). I'm finding I can wear a burgundy boot pretty much any time I'd wear a black boot, so why not roll with it? Long story short, they came home with me and now I have something to look forward to wearing in a couple months. Sorry I can't do photos right now -- waiting on a replacement phone -- but it's too hot to do actual F/W stylings anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know a lot of people have sworn off out-of-season shopping -- I don't do nearly as much of it as I used to, but I've also come to realize that I have very specific, fairly consistent tastes that are not always easy to find from season to season. It is so, SO difficult for me to find footwear especially F/W footwear, that is both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to me, and my need for boots is much higher than my need for fair-weather shoes, so I welcome serendipitous scores like these. And now I have something to look forward to wearing in a few months. </p>
