The mom was bare foot!

I am not known to "dress the weather" very well and I do this all the time. I really just walk from house to car, car to work so even in the cold weather (like yesterday's 5 degrees!) it's not really a big deal to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet/page/2#post-808297 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:37:17 +0000 Anonymous 808297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To IK: LOL Oh no, they will rather freeze to death than to wear stilletos with socks or hose or anything.

After dark the temps drop 20 degrees in about 20 seconds and that's when I wear my socks and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet/page/2#post-808277 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:15:06 +0000 Karie 808277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look, but I can't do bare feet, I'd have to wear sheer nylons at least. Bare feet and closed shoes make my feet hurt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet/page/2#post-808262 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:04:21 +0000 ironkurtin 808262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I worked in the same building as Harper's Bazaar in NYC, and none of those ladies wore boots or socks, even in snowstorms. All I can think is that their feet were numb from years of stilettos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet/page/2#post-808246 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 01:45:46 +0000 TraceyLiz65 808246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is her car preheated before she get into it?

I've seen him walk barefoot in the snow to get wood for my parents Woodstove. Cold just doesn't bother some people the way it does others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808184 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 00:23:37 +0000 moira 808184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes, we have to realize that THE LOOK needs to be interpreted for real life.<br /> Surely this woman does not think that it is realistic to bundle up from head to ankle and then wear little flats and no socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808154 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:42:20 +0000 D'Ellen 808154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brenda, I don't get it either. The outfit is tres cute, but not practical IMO. An outfit to blog, but not to wear in reality. I remember a few years ago when there seemed to be a trend for wearing sandals in winter. One of my co-workers and I walked a few blocks to a luncheon in near freezing temps after a light snowfall. I was wearing boots, she was wearing strappy sandals. I felt so sorry for her poor toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808142 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 23:34:11 +0000 Anonymous 808142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I was planning on going sockless with ballet flats tomorrow at work. Since it's only 30-35 F this week, I was going to wear my furry boots in and change at my desk. Now I'm wondering if my coworkers will think I'm nuts! :p</p> <p>I have, in the past, worn nude hose on these cold days. They're surprisingly warmer than going sockless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808101 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:51:31 +0000 Caro in Oz 808101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another weird one here - I love my boots but I don't wear them for warmth. We do have mild winters - no nights below freezing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808096 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:47:21 +0000 Mona 808096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the look on others. sockless feet dont bother me as long as they are not mine. I wear socks almost 9 months out of 12 here in Eastern Ontario as I have extremely cold feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808088 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:38:30 +0000 Tina.b 808088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it didn't snow here, I probably wouldn't wear socks at all. I run exceptionally warm. But the flats would look seasonally confused here during the winter. I think that is the bigger issue for me as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808081 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:29:39 +0000 deb 808081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am all bundled up and sockless as I type, lol. I wear socks in my boots but only if they do not show. Is it a California or West Coast thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808072 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 22:23:05 +0000 Twiddles 808072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe she has indoor heating in her house and workplace and heating in the car. So it is just a dash from the front door to the car! But when it is winter, the season has changed and the feet need to be warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808027 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:46:44 +0000 Debbie 808027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Texas you could get away with this some days not today but usually. I did pin this though for inspiration. I would have never thought to layer my Blue jean jacket under my leopard jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808019 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:38:13 +0000 Suz 808019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brenda, I'm so glad you brought this up. For those living in my climate (or similar) this looks seasonally confused and I have been having similar thoughts looking at the fashion bloggers of late. If they're someplace warm or even moderate, that is one thing. But I can't imagine going sockless in weather like ours here in Eastern Ontario. Even though, like Julie (RoseandJoan) I really seriously dislike wearing socks! It's not the sockless LOOK I don't like (I do like it); it's the the sense that a person walking around like that can NOT be dressing to keep herself comfortable. As Gaylene says, it's not a priority. </p> <p>MInd you, I'm looking out the window at a foot and a half of snow, -18C temps, and more snow falling.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808012 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:25:42 +0000 Gaylene 808012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect if you are a young fashion blogger dressing "appropriately" for the weather may not be the first priority. As CF points out, it also helps if you live in a place that doesn't go below 40F in the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-808006 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 21:16:08 +0000 cheryl 808006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you. If my feel are cold, then the rest of me is cold. I have to have socks on or at least tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807974 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 20:38:48 +0000 cinnamon fern 807974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I like this a lot. It doesn't look weird to me - it just looks like a winter outfit for a place that has no 'real' winter (ie a place where it's in the 40s (5-10) in January). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807892 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:50:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 807892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm happy to be weird and often go sockless, the seams on socks can drive me bonkers, they slide down my ankles and they bunch under my instep. I would rather brace the cold than be tormented any day of the week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807883 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:36:41 +0000 JAileen 807883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see this mostly on modern male preppy blogs. They'll be wearing a warm coat and maybe a sweater, but no socks saying, my feet never get cold. That may be true, but to me it's an affectation, and really silly looking.</p> <p><a href="http://www.unabashedlyprep.com/site/entry/the-hills/" rel="nofollow">http://www.unabashedlyprep.com.....the-hills/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807860 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:14:14 +0000 rachylou 807860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not at all into sockless.

If it were me, I would have worn boots into the office and changed into shoes there. </p> <p>I do that most days anyway to protect my shoes from all of the damage the thick layer of salt over everything does to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807843 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:57:11 +0000 Mochi 807843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it's winter I've been wearing my boots, and it's occurred to me that with boots my feet are absolutely warm. And it also occurred to me how much that goes toward my overall physical comfort. Much more than my hands, for example. My feet are not thrilled to be cold, and are downright miserable to be wet. And then I'm not a happy camper all-around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807841 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:55:41 +0000 Claudia 807841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will wager that she is warmer in full length jeans and pumps with her ankles exposed (briefly to the elements), than if she was wearing a skirt and tights. I don't see the big deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807835 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:49:08 +0000 RunnerChick 807835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you guys - and agree! </p> <p>FWIW, she does say: " I know someone is going to point out those bare ankles! While I was chilly on my 2 minute walk from the car to the office, I also did a mental ranking of most important to least important body parts for optimal comfort. My ankles don’t really bother me that much.". </p> <p>That said, I run cold and my extremities are the first parts of me to feel cold, so I'm always wearing socks, even indoors, during the winter... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-just-dont-get-it-bare-feet#post-807832 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:45:02 +0000 Kirti 807832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't get it either. My feet get so cold in winter, I can't fathom having no socks! </p>
