They look wonderful. I like the RO outfit you wore and think the Okalas will work out well for you. Jeans outfit look great too! Keep everything and keep it up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1511193 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 02:07:01 +0000 Debbie 1511193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look age appropriate. I love all of these outfits! Love the Okala's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1511126 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 23:33:51 +0000 Anonymous 1511126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read all of this yesterday but was a little intimidated to comment. &nbsp;You look so great in your clothes, and I love all of these pieces. &nbsp;I know what you mean about the colour of the Okalas, but in this case they are perfect. And you know, sometimes having something like this that's outside the norm is even better than wearing the colour trend of the month etc. &nbsp;And the shorts? &nbsp;I would DIE to look as cute as you do in shorts. &nbsp;Go for it &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1511123 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 23:25:26 +0000 CocoLion 1511123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry it took so long to respond, after posting and running. This afternoon is the first time I've had a breather.</p> <p>Thank you for all of the kind words. &nbsp;Especially about not feeling self-conscious about the shorts. &nbsp;I live in the most let-it-all-hang-out place. &nbsp;It's 98 today (37 C) so no one blinks at trying to keep cool. &nbsp;But I do wonder if my YLF environment judges differently. &nbsp;Maybe it's good Angie is on vacation! &nbsp;</p> <p>I'm leaning towards keeping the Okalas. &nbsp;These are my first Okalas -- can you believe it -- they are so comfortable, for a heel. &nbsp;I was worried that without a heel cup, they wouldn't fit right but they stay on my feet. &nbsp;</p> <p>Sharan thank you for the suggestion of looking for stone footwear. I'm also on the hunt for tops that go with my Rick Owens pieces. &nbsp;I checked out the Collection (it is the Vicious Collection S/S 2014) and he tends to show his pieces as a column of color. &nbsp;And sometimes with other neutrals like off white and black. &nbsp;The fashion show with the step dancers is fantastic, here's the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rickowens.eu/en/collections/vicious--2/video">video</a>.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510846 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:52:31 +0000 jackiec 1510846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up on the Oakalas. Ooooh I love the Sam Edelman sandals too! Great outfit both ways! Funny about the $13 win on sandals. Isn't it funny how that works? I have a workhorse tshirt that cost me even less a few years ago and am having the hardest time replicating it. You are looking fantastic all around, Denise. Love your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510829 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 12:04:07 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1510829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, they are all great. &nbsp;I really like the shape of the skirt in the first outfit and it works well with the shoes. &nbsp;The second outfit is fab and the third outfit looks totally appropriate to my eye. &nbsp;You have gorgeous legs so why not show them off a bit. &nbsp;Those shorts are not too short at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510810 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 11:03:46 +0000 Deborah 1510810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise your RO pieces are outstanding. You chose so well with that tone. I do like the brown Okala's with these pieces. I am not a fan of brown generally but the colour is perfect and I like the modern but ladylike vibe of the shoe.</p> <p>Other outfits look fab and there is nothing age inappropriate about your outfit;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510805 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 10:33:00 +0000 viva 1510805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep the Okalas - I think the style and color work well. And you're gorgeous in every look. Your natural golden tones are just so beautiful.And those legs! Jeez. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510768 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 04:27:08 +0000 Adelfa 1510768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the chocolate brown totally works!</p> <p>Tonight at choir practice there was a stylish woman about 20 years your senior totally rocking the short shorts! As you will be in 20 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510668 Thu, 25 Jun 2015 00:11:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1510668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these looks, including the alleged age inappropriate one. And I vote keep the shoes. You have great taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510649 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 22:28:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1510649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of it works extremely well for you. When you described the green Rick Owens I didn't imagine the Okala shoes would work, but I think they bring something special to the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510636 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 21:30:22 +0000 kerry 1510636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in those Okalas! Love the outfit! I will bow to the YLF wisdom that the colours work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510625 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 21:08:17 +0000 Aida 1510625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the whole lot! The Okalas look super, I wouldn't worry about the color; they're unique so will be a bit trend-proof. Totally adore the sandals in #2, if you ever find a suitable replacement I'd love to know what they are so I can also get a pair! #3 and 4 are perfectly casual cool looks, and I'd be happy to wear them both. Also really like how the belt dresses up the uber casual shorts (which you totally rock). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510606 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 20:31:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1510606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Rick Owens skirt outfit both ways! I think the Okalas complement the outfit really well. I would keep if you think you'll wear them with other outfits, too. <br />The color of the skirt looks like something I would wear (well, I'd like to have the skirt itself, come to think of it!), and I would pair it with stone. I've found a surprising amount of stone colored leather with an olive cast to it. Maybe keep an eye out for something like that. <br />All of the outfits are great, Denise. The shorts outfit is so terrific on you, don't worry about age. The first outfit is sophistication at its best on you, and you can also carry off the bit of boho of the last one, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510595 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 20:20:39 +0000 Sal 1510595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Okala's with the outfit, I think a really good match and sure they will be useful with other pieces too.</p> <p>Also like the other two looks a lot. Those silver sandals are great! And shorts are just fine, in fact a crime not to wear in the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510588 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 20:11:41 +0000 catgirl 1510588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is all fab! And don't even talk about age inappropriate- you look amazing. Although my fave is the red top outfit because it's outside! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510587 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 20:11:30 +0000 pil 1510587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness, Denise, while I love all three outfits 1 &amp; 2 are stunners. You have such great shoes, and I like your white pedicure.</p> <p>FWIW, Bon Ton has the burgundy suede Okalas online in 7.5 only for under $50. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510575 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 19:37:34 +0000 texstyle 1510575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Okalas are perfect with the skirt outfit (which is fantastic on you). I love the red top and jeans outfit too and the shorts which are perfectly age appropriate in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510564 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:43:28 +0000 Elizabeth P 1510564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Okalas with the skirt.&nbsp; </p> <p>And yes Greyscale you are right... Angie was looking for these (or are Denise's a darker brown?)&nbsp; Size 6.5.&nbsp; Hey Denise, did they have more? :)<br />&nbsp;<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-find-these-brown-okalas-in-my-size" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....in-my-size</a></p> <p>Oh, and your shorts outfit looks just fine to me!&nbsp; You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510561 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:34:47 +0000 Maneera 1510561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all three outfits. I kind of love 1 for its classy vibe, the 2nd for how fresh and beautiful you look in something as simple as red tee and jeans outfit, and 3rd for how cool that patterned blouse looks with your short shorts. I wouldn't have had thought of combining the two myself....but the result is unbelievably pretty and summery </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510558 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:29:30 +0000 Anonymous 1510558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour of the okalas looks really good with the skirt and top. Looks good with your skin tone too. Better than black, I'd say.<br />I like the soft neutral on </p> <p>soft </p> <p>neutral on </p> <p>soft </p> <p>neutral look.<br />Shorts look good too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510555 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 18:23:48 +0000 kellygirl 1510555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, love everything. The Okala are perfect! Adore both casual outfits. The shorts are fab on you. I know your climate and these are perfectly appropriate. You have great legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510536 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 17:53:49 +0000 MTBGirl 1510536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep. And I really like all your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510535 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 17:53:05 +0000 Greyscale 1510535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was all set to say that Okalas didn't quite fit the Rick Owens look, but then I looked at the photo and I like it. They add some refined contrast to the clothes. I do love that Rick Owens color.</p> <p>Is that the Okala color that Angie was searching high and low for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510529 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 17:48:47 +0000 Suz 1510529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Denise!! <b>LOVE </b>the first outfit on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and guess what? You look amazing (and not age inappropriate in my books) in <b>ALL</b> of these. Love the red tee on you, too. And all your footwear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-wiw-psa#post-1510525 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 17:45:04 +0000 CocoLion 1510525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Three birds with one stone here.</p> <p>Picture 1 - First, a K/R. &nbsp;I purchased these Okalas recently at TJ Maxx. &nbsp;They are a deep chocolate brown, and they were $60. &nbsp;I was in the store getting a fathers day gift when I saw them. &nbsp;I got them specifically to wear with this Rick Owens pod skirt (I also have a jacket and long skirt in the same color way called "Dark Dust"). &nbsp;It is a brownish-grayish-greenish neutral color that I felt was more flattering on me than black. &nbsp;The problem is, it's a challenging color to work with as it's not a currently trendy color. &nbsp;What do you think, do they work or should I keep looking?</p> <p>Picture 2 -- Actual outfit worn to fathers day brunch. &nbsp;Helmut Lang top from 2012, above RO skirt via MyHabit.com, Sam Edelman sandals from last year.</p> <p>Picture 3 -- Worn on one of the last cooler days of Spring. &nbsp;Top from the Rack from 2011, Rag &amp; Bone jeans from 2013, sandals are new but already quite trashed as they were $13 at Ross. &nbsp;I love them, they're from Sbicca and I can't find a replacement anywhere!</p> <p>Picture 4 -- More recent picture reflecting hot weather with happily age inappropriate outfit. &nbsp;Shorts are Genetic, a hand-me-down from one of my sister's clients. &nbsp;Blouse is from Kohl's Milly collection. &nbsp;Skull clutch is from Shopbop and getting lots of wear. &nbsp;No one coughed behind my back in these shorts while I was shopping for black work pants.</p> <p>PSA -- Shopbop currently has a 25% extra off sale coupon. &nbsp;Code 25MORE. &nbsp;Expires tomorrow.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and let me know if you think I should keep the Okalas, or keep looking for a better match with this custom color "Dark Dust." </p>
