Enjoy them! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934689 Fri, 17 May 2013 04:12:11 +0000 pil 934689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is my first real happiness factor purchase since joining the forum. I tried on some more outdits just so I would have a reason to wear them.</p> <p>@shedev, @celia, @Thistle and @NicoleD - Thanks!<br /> @Shannon and @Debbie - I think you're right about wearing the heck out of them! They're going out for breakfast tomorrow : )<br /> @Beth Ann - Thank you. My foggy head would have simply said they worked because the heavier straps had a similar feel to the heavier ankle. I like the way you phrased it much better - "less delicate"/curve/structure/pleasing - yessss!<br /> @Firecracker - Thanks a bunch - I like your reference to Angie's style math : ) and the "tonal" pedicure will do for now. It can't be for naught that my husband reluctantly ventured into an Ulta with me while on vacation to buy new polish!<br /> @Kelly and @Sarah - thanks and yes the dress is LE. i'm glad you like it. When I look at that pic all I see is a gigantic stomach.<br /> @Eliza - "happy feet creators" indeed. Give something similar a try - If a Miss Meek like me can do it, so can you!<br /> @DonnaF - Thank you. It's always interesting what can be learned around here, isn't it?<br /> @Krista - thanks! I wouldn't have typically tried them either but between seeing them on Cocolion, Debbie and an Angie recommendation decided to give them a whirl.<br /> @ Carole and @cciele - thank you. Comfortable, yes, I'm pleasantly surprised that the ankle straps aren't bothersome </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934684 Fri, 17 May 2013 04:06:27 +0000 cciele 934684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love them on you -&nbsp;Wear them often!<br /><br />P.S. I joined the trend and got a pair too -- they are comfy, aren't they? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934627 Fri, 17 May 2013 02:27:48 +0000 Carole 934627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute!

They really add an extra touch to the outfits you have put together. &nbsp;Thanks for showing these - I would not normally look twice at this type of sandal but now you have me intrigued! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934444 Thu, 16 May 2013 23:12:33 +0000 DonnaF 934444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These all look great and the sandals look completely fab on you!&nbsp; Another lesson on how footwear can elevate a look.&nbsp; Not that I'm in the market for sandals, but thanks for the lesson on the magic of crisscross straps.&nbsp; I also appreciate the side pic, as I was wondering how they fastened.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934399 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:43:40 +0000 Nicole D 934399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thumbs up! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934396 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:40:29 +0000 Eliza 934396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them on you. &nbsp;They are happy feet creators and so modern. Gives me courage to try sandals like these.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934386 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:27:56 +0000 kellygirl 934386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So awesome, pil! I LOVE them on you. I learned something new too today! Who knew the subtle difference of a criss crossed strap could make such a difference on the leg. YLF!<br /><br />Ooh and I love all of the outfits too. Is that green dress LE by any chance? It's stellar on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934364 Thu, 16 May 2013 22:00:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 934364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The sandals look super-fab on you and with the Marisas! <br />Wow, comparing these to the looks in your previous post that you linked to, I would say these are 200 percent better (using some of Angie's fearsome style math). Maybe more! <br />I agree the wide criss-crossed strap is very flattering and slimming to the ankles. It's like magic--I'll have to remember that one, too. (In fact, I think it may explain the appeal of a pair of high-vamped sandals that I have in my closet, too.)<br />All of these looks are great on you. 3 is totally fab; the contrast between outfit and sandal is not an issue to me at all. I also love 2: those colors are wonderful on you, and the slim crops are great. <br />I think your pedi is compatible with the sandals, too. Coral and fuschia can complement each other. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934351 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:44:34 +0000 Beth Ann 934351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Excellent!&nbsp; These modern sandals add zing and flair to everything you've paired them with.&nbsp; The visual "weight" of the sandal is perfect for those of use with less delicate ankles, and I think it adds dimension -- a sense of curve and structure to your leg that is very pleasing.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934343 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:33:29 +0000 Debbie 934343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love them on you!&nbsp; These sandals are going to get a lot of wear. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934329 Thu, 16 May 2013 21:16:35 +0000 Thistle 934329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These look really nice on you! They have a nice modern vibe and look fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934289 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:20:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 934289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE these for you Pil! As Angie mentioned, the criss cross strap is brilliant - that's why the Blondos work for my short legs too. They don't cut the ankle in half because of the criss cross straps in the centre.<br /><br />You are going to wear the heck out of these https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934288 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:18:52 +0000 celia 934288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them and think outfits 1 and 4 look really good together with the sandals.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934287 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:17:16 +0000 shedev 934287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like them on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934276 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:05:37 +0000 pil 934276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you! And thanks for explaining how the criss cross differs from the traditional ankle strap. This will be my "what I learned" for today : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934274 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:03:23 +0000 pil 934274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ceit and @Alicat - thanks!<br /> @Texstyle, thanks - I sure wish I could figure out how to get everything to work as well as 3. I need to ponder but that is something I'm not very productive at.<br /> @Suz, gosh, calf length is something that never ever crossed my mind! I got lucky with these as there was one pair on Shopbop and they were my size. I was tempted by Shannon's Blondo's too : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934267 Thu, 16 May 2013 20:00:13 +0000 Angie 934267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE the new sandals, and they work really well in all these outfits! <br /><br />That criss-cross strap detail on the ankle is very flattering, and less horizonatlly cutting than a classic ankle strapped sandal. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934261 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:54:31 +0000 Suz 934261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love them on you!! Something about that crossover design seems to work really well. I am very sensitive about this issue, too (on myself) - for me it is not the width of my ankles so much as the shortness of my calves, and ankle straps seem to cut me off too much. But these are gorgeous. Plus, fuchsia!!! Oh my!!!&nbsp;<br /><br />I have to be careful. I'm all set to order Shannon's new sandals, your new sandals, and half the ones on Angie's list.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934259 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:53:49 +0000 Anonymous 934259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are rocking them! &nbsp;Great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934258 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:52:48 +0000 texstyle 934258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the sandals on you - they add a great modern vibe. And the outfit #3 is Fantastic on you pil, no doubts about that one at all. I love that the shoes stand out against the neutrals. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934250 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:47:24 +0000 Anonymous 934250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them -- I think they make your ankles look really pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-splendid-sandals-are-here#post-934249 Thu, 16 May 2013 19:46:21 +0000 pil 934249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So please tell me what you think.&nbsp; As I've said before, I've always been self conscious of my heavy ankles and legs. Despite that, do these ankle straps work on me even though I don't have Cocolion or Debbie legs? The color is clay, but is much more pink than I was expecting. Fun though! It appears I will need to change what I was hoping to use as my signature nail color for this summer.<br /><br />They are so comfortable.&nbsp; I had picked up a pair of flats at TJ Maxx to try with my Marisa linen cropped pants and there is no comparison between the comfort of the two. The Splendids win by a mile. For anyone else interested, I bought my usual size 8.&nbsp; <br /><br />1. The pink shirt is an old one, but it matched so I thought I'd give it a try.<br />2. This shirt has the same colors as the brown straps.&nbsp; I thought the darker jean crops would work too.<br />3.&nbsp; I really like this outfit (found&nbsp;a white-ish belt) but are the shoes too much contrast?<br />4. Just another tee with the Marisas.&nbsp; I still don't have the shirt situation for these pants worked out.<br />5.&nbsp; With a dress.&nbsp; I swapped the patterned version of this dress for a solid, but am not loving this one on me.&nbsp; I would say it's the angle, but.....<br /><br />So I guess my main questions are, do the sandals look ok on me and do they work with the Marisas in 1 and 4?&nbsp; The ankle straps on the sandals in my original Marisa post were a drawback, but I thought these might work&nbsp;with the&nbsp;more modern look. I'm sorry&nbsp;to keep coming back about these crazy crops! <br />&nbsp;<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-style-atl-marisas" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....tl-marisas</a><br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />
