Sounds like a good approach for all wardrobe categories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-approach-to-purchases#post-1785321 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 22:21:01 +0000 Anonymous 1785321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on #5 at DSW. they looked like a viable option, but were way too much fabric on top of foot for me. The person who could wear that would need a higher volume foot. Love the red sandals you show too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-approach-to-purchases#post-1785290 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 19:43:43 +0000 rachylou 1785290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thing that should be tattooed on my wrist: no cute and cheap! </p> <p>When I go, 'that's cute and so cheap', totally needs to be my cue to walk away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-approach-to-purchases#post-1785246 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 17:11:54 +0000 abc 1785246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like your approach is working, so why not carry it on to your shoe selections for the new season?</p> <p>I have your problem, too, or at least used to. &nbsp;Cute and on sale? &nbsp;Sure. &nbsp;Well, those tend to be the biggest mistakes. &nbsp;I'm better off planning and choosing carefully and spending more for something that will work well and is super comfy. &nbsp;Looks like you're doing the same. &nbsp;Feels good, doesn't it?</p> <p>For me the lifestyle thing is the hardest pill to swallow. &nbsp;As much as I love heels, wedges, etc, I just don't find myself wearing them anymore. &nbsp;So this year I'm gonna have to work hard to find comfy flat shoes. &nbsp;I'm also debating closed vs open toe bc of where I live (semi-desert) and the cobblestone streets I tend to walk on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-approach-to-purchases#post-1785241 Wed, 08 Mar 2017 17:02:49 +0000 always trying 1785241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the post about last years footwear mistakes made me think of why last year was the first year I actually had none.&nbsp; But last year I actually bought fewer pairs of any kind.&nbsp; The reasons last year were keep nothing that was not comfortable and absolutely no purchases that were cute and on sale (my big weakness). Now I am taking this even further-carefully analyze what I have, and purchase only what will fit into my wardrobe of existing styles, colors, etc.&nbsp; And what will work best with my lifestyle-and maybe adding some fun like the red ones.</p> <p>So I am adding one pair of lower block heel either peep toe booties or sandal booties in&nbsp; a neutral nude like color, and a pair of comfy fun (other than red) flat sandals.&nbsp; soooooo many choices-photos of a few below--</p> <p>This approach is working with jeans and tops so far this spring too...</p>
