I wear blacklosfer types and slipper flats but the ballet is more feminine for some juxtaposition. I had considered duping AGL's but I like the fit on these. I do have some black AK pointy fabric flats so these could split wears. The Bernardo's fit<br /> better and are leather. My plan is to try on both and see if I want to switch. They are very plain though so I need to see if they are classic enough and if they make outfits better. I am not really a daily ballet flat wearer but I just kind dimrmthing about these. Despite loving loafers and oxfords I sometimes need a daintier shoe and for comfort I am really needing flats or very low heels and rounded toes, so I am having to think reverse juxtaposition where I would wear a really classic shoe instead of trendy,<br /> and combine with more trendy ( or updated) pants or top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-on-the-shopping-block#post-1786047 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 16:06:37 +0000 Angie 1786047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these items for your style, unfrumped. Make sure the shoes are not a hectic duplication though. Are they essentials?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-on-the-shopping-block#post-1786026 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 15:43:55 +0000 unfrumped 1786026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Jennifer! The pants are longer in me so as usual I would have to decide whether to hem to higher above ankle or try first as- is with various shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-on-the-shopping-block#post-1786019 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 15:37:32 +0000 Jenn 1786019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like those pants, unfrumped. I'm enamored with the classic fabric, paired with the modern shape. The shoes look like they could be workhorses for you.</p> <p>I also like the term "shopping block," punny though it may be. I do this too, collecting lists of items I <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer">might want to buy</a> for a season. I think it helps to see them together, as indicative of a style direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/items-on-the-shopping-block#post-1786010 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 15:27:37 +0000 unfrumped 1786010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Below are some items I'm considering, as well as considering which of my wardrobe items will be on the " chopping block" as part of 1 or 2 out for every in. </p> <p>1) Halogen pleated but slightly tapered pant. The waist style and pinstripe is so much like the widelegs I already have ( also shown in Finds for reference) but the leg shape and footwear options are much different. I am about to let go of 2 pairs of Anthro pleated pants. The Halogens are a smidge wider at the hem and do not hang up on my calf.<br /> 2) Bernardo flats. These are very plain but very comfortable due to slightly higher vamp and have a small stacked heel for more structure. Sold out of some colors I might have tried.<br /> 3) Bernardo pumps- Angie posted on some color blocked ones and I got the gray but needed to size up and poof! ! They were gone as are the gray solid.<br /> These are a bit like Angie's buying- ahead post and I may toss out some wedges that were sort of " emergency comfort heels" but no longer look good to me and I'm not wearing them. </p>
