I can totally relate to you about the overly casual office environment. I am usually the most dressed up one in the office - and my dressed up, I mean wearing something as simple as a pair of black pants. I see a lot of jeans and sneakers and the occasional Hawaiian shirt! Looking forward to seeing more of your posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-38109 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 14:37:17 +0000 Sihaya 38109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi Hanna - welcome and love the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-38051 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 04:15:14 +0000 Angie 38051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And a welcome from me too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-38019 Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:05:21 +0000 Alecia 38019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Hanna.

Not too much at all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-37905 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:30:00 +0000 Anonymous 37905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Hanna. Can you tell us more about Converse custom shoes. I haven't heard of that. Do you design your shoes?<br /> Yours look good. I think you did find a nice balance. They have a sort of flirt of color. Less is more sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-37902 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 17:25:07 +0000 Antje 37902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Hanna, I like your funky Converse! Looking forward to seeing some outfits that incorporate them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-37883 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:46:44 +0000 BLB 37883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum! I love Chicago. I've only been there once, for a few hours, this past summer while on a road trip, but I'm dying to go back for a week or so.</p> <p>I want to gobble those Converse up, they look so good! I love stuff with an offbeat funky touch, personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-37870 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:15:00 +0000 ChristineB 37870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I'm new too, and have found this community to be very friendly &#38; welcoming.</p> <p>Those are definitely cool Converse!! I like the balance you acheived between pattern &#38; solid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-37868 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 16:08:07 +0000 Tanya 37868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Hanna and welcome! I am glad that you decided to join us! I will be looking forward to your photos.</p> <p>Those Converse are really cool and I like them. They are not too much at all. And you can always try different color laces, including white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hello-from-a-newbie-plus-my-custom-converse-chucks-#post-37864 Fri, 05 Dec 2008 15:55:13 +0000 hanna 37864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hello everyone! i'll post a proper body-type question with pictures and stuff soon, but just thought i'd introduce myself first. i'm hanna, a 20something in chicago stuck in an office of overly-casual (read: slobby) coworkers and struggling to walk the line between looking put together and overly-dressed up for the office! i've been stalking the forums for a while now, but figured it was time to join the fun :).</p> <p>anyway, i owned a pair of lowtop black chucks that i loved and wore till they fell apart, but i'm now jonesing for a funkier shoe. I've been after a print for sometime but never took the plunge for fear of not being able to match or pull it off... but thanks to converse's custom shoe thingy, i think i've struck the right balance between solids and print! but i'd like to know what you think:</p> <p><a href="http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww238/sunday_schild/converse.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i723.photobucket.com/al.....nverse.jpg</a></p> <p>i hope the picture is clear enough! it's phaeton gray, with yellow stitching and inside lining, floral tongue (that sound weird...), and yes, black laces, which i know from searching the forum that angie doesn't prefer, but still... let me know!</p> <p>yay first post! i'm so excited </p>
