My Tsubos are the highest heels I'll wear in a shoe - I can go a bit higher with boots. Regardless, you look amazing and I'm sure the flats are equally fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591539 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 15:29:15 +0000 Carole 591539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking it was the skirt that made you "hobble" not the shoes. Such a gorgeous outfit and worth a little hobbling around, but nice to know you can "remix" the skirt and have it serve a more casual purpose.</p> <p>Btw, 3 inch heels would do more than make me hobble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591530 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 15:07:19 +0000 Elly 591530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My revelation would be about how the positioning of your foot changes your gate . . . .and it makes total sense. You probably would have laughed at me testing the mechanics out by walking around on my toes and then in an exaggerated normal fashion in my lounge-wear with my coffee. If only I'd already had my coffee maybe I could have made this sound more scientific! Big words aren't my friends this morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591501 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:23:30 +0000 IluvJanelynG 591501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Winner!!! Congrats Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591469 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:46:20 +0000 Angie 591469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learn all the time, Shannon :)</p> <p>Thanks, Kirti. I will pair it with my black and white oxfords too. </p> <p>Glad that you weighed in Marianna, Queen of the Kingdom of Flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591440 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:12:49 +0000 marianna 591440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! So glad you can wear that pretty polka dot skirt comfortably. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591434 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:08:44 +0000 Kirti 591434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great the skirt turned out to be comfy after all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed/page/2#post-591176 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:22:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 591176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you can wear the skirt comfortably with other options Angie! And I think it's cool that even a style pro such as yourself can still learn something about your own outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591160 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 23:44:56 +0000 Sona 591160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a revelation that must have been! Amazing how much tweaking alittle something can change how we feel in certain clothing! Thanks for sharing. I have a similar cut skirt that I've worn once with 1.5 inch pumps but know now not to go for higher!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591153 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 23:29:31 +0000 Angie 591153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies :)</p> <p> Helen, you are so kind. (Hugs to you). I am hardly statuesque at 5ft 6 but I do love to wear flats. Some ladies though, are actually more comfy in heels because the heel supports their high arches. It was so hard for me to get that at first - but I have clients that feel that way for sure. </p> <p>Snap Suz, Debbie and Claire! </p> <p>Perhaps we'll shoot the outfit at some point. There is just never enough time to do everything :(</p> <p>Sooooooo, I added another pair of "sitting shoes" to my collection a few days ago - to wear to a wedding this month. That makes a sum total of 3 pairs of heels just above three inches in my wardrobe - which is VERY high for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591124 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:50:47 +0000 MsMary 591124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for striding in the former hobble skirt! And I feel for you after wearing my new 4.5-inch stilettos yesterday! We all have our limits! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591121 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:47:25 +0000 lynn 591121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really need to see a picture of that! I would look so frumpy with flats and that skirt but I KNOW you looked fabulous. Please show! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591091 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 21:53:28 +0000 Deborah 591091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your remix sounds lovely and I am thrilled the flats make the skirt more comfortable to wear. Any photos?? Would love to see the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591079 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 21:39:24 +0000 Anonymous 591079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to hear you could charge about as per usual but......

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE post a pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591078 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 21:37:47 +0000 Debbie 591078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thae skirt is beautiful I am glad you will get to wear it.

So happy this skirt won't have to pine away in your closet, hoping for a special occasion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-591000 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 19:03:05 +0000 HelenInCanada 591000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being so statuesque, you can toss your high heels away and still look stunning! (Isn't that why most women wear them - for height and a long leg line - anyway?) Flats suit you to a tee. LOVE this outfit - so unique. The skirt is super gorgeous...so glad there's no more hobbling! YAY for comfort and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590995 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:56:47 +0000 lyn* 590995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They can now be your "hobble shoes" :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590991 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:53:40 +0000 jayne 590991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad news. I tried to do the look you described, denim shirt with 'vest' over but it did not look good! Would love to see a picture of yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590982 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 18:06:43 +0000 Suz 590982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you tried that out! I would love to see the new outfit. </p> <p>My perfect heel height would be 1.5 to 1.75 inches, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590980 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:50:05 +0000 Parsley 590980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you worked that out, Angie. That skirt is way too gorgeous to sit in your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590963 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 17:10:31 +0000 Sunita 590963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you figured that out and the skirt will get lots more use!</p> <p>My job is sedentary and I can wear 3 inch heels to the office. Though I do have flats, comfy high heels, and kitten heels for days when I have to walk around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590957 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:54:26 +0000 Scarlet 590957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I could so related to your hobble skirt. I split the seam of a pencil skirt, repaired it, and just split it again for this reason. In my case I could get the seam redone to be a little higher. I am so happy to hear you have found a way to make this lovely skirt practical for you. Sounds like a wonderful outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590954 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:51:47 +0000 Tanya 590954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such good news, Angie! Who knew it were the shoes and not the skirt. I would also like to see pictures of the mentioned outfit, sounds beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590951 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:50:04 +0000 Kari 590951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's fantastic news! I'm glad that the skirt is wearable with shorter shoes. It's quite a pretty piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590949 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:49:01 +0000 Andie 590949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any pictures, Angie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590939 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:28:27 +0000 christieanne 590939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I call anything past 2 inches a "meeting shoe" since I could never work in them - only sit. That red pump is so beautiful though! </p> <p>We are always learning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590934 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:14:45 +0000 Anonymous 590934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am SO HAPPY that one of my style icons is a low-heel fan like me! I just cannot wear anything over 2 inches...never have, never will. I love seeing that a gal can look amazing and not be towering around on super high heels. </p> <p>I just mailed all my 3 inche shoes off to my friend since she isn't allergic to them, like me. I mean, if I can only wear them when sitting, well, when does THAT ever happen???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hobble-skirt-update-im-amazed#post-590927 Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:58:41 +0000 Mochi 590927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so hear you on not being best friends with 3" heels, Angie. I'll bet that look with flats was adorable, anyway! </p>
