They passed the heavy walking test today, so they are officially part of my closet. (Deborah they are the grey ones.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797735 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 04:49:12 +0000 Anonymous 797735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shevia! How exciting! I loved reading your back story too. I never noticed these shooties/booties on the others (I was looking at their clothes only I guess) but now that you mention it, I could see how they would work really well in a hot climate for a good three seasons. They are doing exactly what you want them too here, modernizing your vintage dress(es) and femming up some BF jeans. I noticed how great they look with anything because of your hair color. And the main thing is that they're comfortable, which is just incredible, considering how stylish they look. Yeah, I guess we can let you keep 'em. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797672 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:05:30 +0000 annagybe 797672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797670 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 02:03:30 +0000 Thistle 797670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful shoe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797668 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:58:58 +0000 Deborah 797668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, these are just FABULOUS shoes! I love them. They wok with the jeans AND the dress. Are yours grey or black. Now you have me lusting after them in grey!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797641 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 01:28:19 +0000 Jaime 797641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you all have certainly started my morning with a big smile! I am going to test run them on a sunny day with thin socks/stockings and will see if they need an insole. Because the weather in the winter rarely gets below freezing these are year round shoes for me - except in the very hottest part of the year when they might be too hot, but will be still wearable indoors. Suz, seeing myself coming and going has never been my problem! I am a team oddball (I made that one up.) </p> <p>Angie a killer and a faint! I am floored!

I love them with the bf jeans. (I'm another shoe-size twin. If they feel a little big, you could add a pad or a half-insole.

You look beautiful. If the booties are too big, you can always add one of those drugstore press-on inserts for heels. They can also keep feet from slipping forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797449 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 16:18:59 +0000 Andie 797449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, Shevia! Could you share the booties link with us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797435 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 16:02:05 +0000 Angie 797435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER! I loved hearing the back story, Shevia. What a happy ending! Yay Mama-Shevia! Your look in #1 is so spot on, delicious and amazing, I might faint. </p> <p>We wear the same shoe size, btw. </p> <p>And now I'm going to faint.</p> <p>*faints* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797396 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:08:11 +0000 ManidipaM 797396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though I feel peeptoe booties are impractical for myself, I find it impressive how versatile this particular pair of shoes seems to be, dressed up and dressed down, and how comfy everyone says they are for such fashion-forward statement footwear. Loved reading the story of their purchase, Shevia --- a great example of Angie's PPP principles in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797390 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 15:03:04 +0000 Suz 797390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Shevia - these are perfect on you!! SO fab how you copied your YLF inspiration outfits! They look absolutely wonderful with pants and with a dress. I love how your hair can bookend them. This was a very smart holiday purchase for you. I am sure you won't regret it. They will update all your vintage pieces and make everything seem fresh. Plus, If these are the only ones similar, you won't see yourself coming and going. Except on YLF, that is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797383 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 14:58:04 +0000 Jaime 797383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Laura thank you! Since your outfit photos with these booties played a major role in my choosing them, your approval is twice as nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797356 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:31:16 +0000 Laura 797356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I LOVE that you found a pair! You look amazing in both iterations. We have no snow yet so I have still been wearing mine, with stockings. They were expensive, but completely worth it, and I know you'll feel the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-anyi-lu-booties#post-797354 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:22:36 +0000 Jaime 797354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At long last I have received my Anyi Lu booties! Please feel free to skip my novel and go straight to the review, or just the pictures. You might guess I am leaning heavily toward keep, but welcome dissenting views.</p> <p>Backstory: I had been coveting these shoes since Angie posted them with her NAS recommendations last summer. I have plenty of shoes, I certainly do not need these. Still, I really did want a pair of heels that look current enough to make my vintage dresses work, and a summer shoe with a bit of a heel. Then when some lucky fabbers started posting outfits with them I fell even more deeply in love. But the ultimate selling point was the reviews that claimed they were the super comfortable and easy on the feet. I walk a lot and wanted walking shoes!</p> <p>At first I thought I might find similar peep toe, moderate heel booties elsewhere for cheaper, but search as I did locally and on-line, nothing else measured up in look and heel. By time I realized this they were back to regular price, and I just couldn't fathom spending that much on a desired, but certainly not necessary, pair of shoes.</p> <p>Then a combination of circumstances: I saw them online for 50% off at Nordstroms just after I received an especially good payout from a consignment store AND my mother informed me she wanted to send us a package and asked if I want to put anything in it. Well, the entire process took almost a month from order until receipt but here they are. Apologies to Laura and Patience whom I blatantly copied for styling ideas. </p> <p>REVIEW I was surpised that they seem to run a bit big - I ordered 37 and if I had the opportunity I would try the 36.5, but I am pretty sure I would go back to the 37, since now it is cold but when it is warm my feet swell a little. The color rubbed off slightly in a couple places; that doesn't bother me particularly but was surprising. On the other hand, I have stomped around the house with them quite a bit, including up and down the stairs, and I have actually forgotten that I am trying out new shoes, much less heels. And that is pretty amazing!</p> <p>(I know I should have done a better job rolling my jeans and wore a belt, and maybe the dress should be taken in a bit? These were just quick attempts to show the shoes! I have included my much admired and better executed inspiration pictures for fun.) All advice, K/R or styling, welcome. </p>
