I a, not crzy about the sandals but my preference is for the lighter color </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635194 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 04:11:11 +0000 Scarlet 635194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the style of shoe has to be frumpy, but I am having a hard time picturing them with your sophisticated style that would get me enthusiastic. (I could picture them in a youthful 60s/70s era summer look--cutoffs, fringe, or whatnot) Same comments as everyone else about the coat. Try it on with a blazer or leather jacket underneath and see if the shoulders are right that way or if they are too roomy. I often use my trench as an overcoat over a lighter jacket.h </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635168 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 03:40:38 +0000 Makrame 635168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I got the same trench! Mine is a small (not petite). I love the color on you, and I think the fit is quite good but I would do a side-by-side comparison with XSP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635050 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:18:52 +0000 catgirl 635050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Jonesy, I find this style of sandal frumpy because of the wide sort of striated straps. But I am no sandal expert, since I don't wear them. </p> <p>The trench is fab in that color on you! I am jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635048 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:16:35 +0000 sarah 635048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, this IS a petite! It's a small. Do you think XSP might work?</p> <p>(I think I've mentioned before that I must have narrow shoulders : ( )</p> <p>I'll look at aerosoles (but check out the Cole Haan thread about to be started) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635044 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:14:06 +0000 Angie 635044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest a petite! The trench has potential :)</p> <p>May I suggest Aerosoles shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635039 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 02:10:36 +0000 sarah 635039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! The sandals will go back, and I'll try the trench in XSP.</p> <p>(*chuckling* about bandage and orthopedic shoes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-635001 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:38:51 +0000 cjh 635001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not a fan of either sandal, though if pressed, I would choose the two-tones. They look too big, also.<br /> As to the coat, echoing suggestion of trying a smaller size.</p> <p>I think some of your old sandals, leather versions, are more up your alley. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634963 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:01:59 +0000 Sveta 634963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Jonesy on everything. Love the color of the trench on you but shoulders look a bitt wide and sleeves too long. Can you try a size down?<br /> I like green shoes better than white but something about the the upper straps are positions gives me pause to call then 10s... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634889 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 23:28:04 +0000 Echo 634889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coat, and I don't think it looks too large (unless it feels that way or the shoulder seams extend past your shoulders). It doesn't gather much at the waist when belted, indicating that there isn't a lot of extra fabric there. The sleeves are simply a little more generous, which can give the impression of a larger fit, IMO. </p> <p>The sandals are frumpy to me, but moreover they look a little bit too large. I guess that's a comfort issue, though, and depends on how you prefer to wear your shoes. I also have a poisoned eye for that sort of sandal, though, so take my opinion on them with a grain of salt. If you love them, then keep the teal over the natural colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634878 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 23:14:37 +0000 Aida 634878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I'm a nay vote on both sandals. Love the cut and color of the trench, but it definitely looks too large to me. So another vote to try a size down on that one Is the color as vibrant in person as it appears in the photo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634569 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:57:40 +0000 christieanne 634569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color of the green sandal - it looks like a "work" shoe or an office sandal. I don't like a very bare sandal for work and this seems like that with the closed back. The nude is not as great.<br /> Love the trench but agree the arms are a bit long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634564 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 16:52:59 +0000 Sylvie 634564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the green sandals better than the white sandals. I think their frump level depends on what you pair them with. They're not shoes that can carry an outfit KWIM. They need to be worn with something that draws the eye up to avoid stumpification. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634500 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:50:24 +0000 Diana 634500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color and shape of the trench (yay, single breasted!) but it looks a wee bit big in the shoulders and arms to me. Maybe try a size down? Although... my blue trench fits a little looser like this and sometimes it's nice to have a less constricting jacket that you can layer under.</p> <p>The green sandals are nice, but I think the cream ones look a bit too bandage-y to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634497 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:48:00 +0000 Isis 634497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the turquoise sandals! But maybe it would be better to see in an outfit, as Suz suggested....</p> <p>The trench is a gorgeous color for you...keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634448 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 15:13:56 +0000 Anonymous 634448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do have a poisoned eye for this type of sandal but I much more prefer the emerald green to the colorblocked ones.<br /> The trench looks good but I'm thinking a size down might fit you even better at the shoulder line. I think the key with trenches is to get the shoulder right, then the rest will follow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634421 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:56:19 +0000 Suz 634421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The trench is gorgeous and I'm so glad you tried it on; I've been eyeing it for myself. Probably won't order (due to shipping and duty) but might if it is still there when hubs goes to the US next month. I do think it might be too long in the sleeve, but try layering with a jacket to be sure. </p> <p>I'm not sure about the shoes; it sort of depends. Not crazy about them in neutral. Turquoise might be good depending on what you're planning to wear them with. Can we see with a few outfits? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634392 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:39:50 +0000 celia 634392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the trench.<br /> And I also like the emerald sandals.I usually am a bad judge of frumpiness in shoes so take my opinion with a grain of salt, bu I think the color makes them more current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634390 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:37:56 +0000 Anonymous 634390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I tried these shoes on in the light color (and thought they looked frumpy on *my* foot) but they didn't have the tan foot bed and heel cup that these do. I like how the color blocking makes them look more modern and not like a generic orthopedic sandal. The turquoise is pretty too. </p> <p>I LOVE the trench! The color is fabulous on you! The fit is terrific, just fix the sleeves and it's perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634381 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:28:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 634381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour of that trench is AMAZING on you Sarah! I actually think the fit is good - you want a wee bit of room to layer a blazer or thicker sweater underneath. I think a size smaller might make that dificult - although I guess you would only know by trying on the smaller size. The sleeves look long and would need shortening I think. I love this jacket on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634378 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:24:19 +0000 Anonymous 634378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that color blue on you. Perhaps shorten the sleeves a bit? </p> <p>I like the sandals, with a preference for the turquoise ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634375 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:22:42 +0000 sarah 634375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be interested to see how the shoe vote comes down on frump vs. no-frump.</p> <p>Jonesy - Yes, I think the shoulders are a bit broad - this is an SP, not sure if the XSP would have narrower shoulders. Perhaps others will know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634366 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:13:39 +0000 Jonesy 634366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want honesty, I think both pairs of sandals are frumpy. Something about the straps.....I'm pretty sure Makrame bought that coat in that color, recently. I think it looks good overall on you, though the sleeves look too long--would you shorten? Are the shoulders the right width, i.e., not too wide for you? Trying to remember if Makrame sized down on this......brain too foggy....but maybe you could search for her thread, if you were interested? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634359 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:08:06 +0000 goldenpig 634359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the trench and the turquoise sandals! The turquoise ones don't look frumpy but the white ones do look a little frumpy to me. The trench color looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634358 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:06:34 +0000 morethanbeige 634358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the emerald shoes look great. Not frumpy! I prefer those over the light shoes. More fun. That jacket color is great. So beautiful with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---part-1-shoes-and-trench#post-634354 Fri, 01 Jun 2012 14:01:53 +0000 sarah 634354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1/2/6 - What do you think about these shoes for casual summer wear? Of the two, I think I prefer the emerald/turquoise. But are they frumpy?</p> <p>3/4/5 - I picked up this Gallery trench at the Nordies sale - thoughts? Obviously I wouldn't be wearing it with clams and mismatched shoes : ) </p>
