So good to hear you got some comfy shoes. I like doc martens, having bought a pair of boots to recouperate a sprained ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900756 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 12:41:48 +0000 cindysmith 1900756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag &lt;3</p> <p>Glad you found some comfy shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900739 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 11:19:09 +0000 unfrumped 1900739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bag looks great- rich subtle color and nice structure for casual outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900726 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 09:24:08 +0000 Anonymous 1900726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy about the bag. &nbsp;It is gorgeous. &nbsp; It looks really rich in terms of color and texture. &nbsp;It suits you so well. &nbsp;</p> <p>In order for a bag to be a success for me, it has to have easy access (I have made exceptions to this rule without major calamity). &nbsp;Is the opening sufficient for you for easy access? &nbsp;Are you comfortable with it day-to-day? &nbsp;Can you find things on the interior easily? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900686 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 02:07:21 +0000 jussie 1900686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a very cool bag :). Definitely got personality but dark enough to go with lots of things. &nbsp;I also like the dress and shoes. Very artsy casual. Nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900683 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 01:56:40 +0000 Diana 1900683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the bag! &nbsp;That's one of my favorite colors too.</p> <p>Good to know about the Virginia leather Docs. I have some Docs with the classic cherry leather and they've never broken in/softened completely. &nbsp;May have something to do with the fact that my feet are too low volume for them though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900680 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 01:32:57 +0000 gradfashionista 1900680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaPed, what a pretty shade. The boots are actually softer than the MJs. I tried them out for a bit and had to return them due to fit issues, but you’ll probably have no issues with the material. </p> <p>Lisa, I hear, hence the numerous qualifiers. If I had different feet, I’d probably choose a low-heeled ballet flat or brogues, but ah well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900670 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 00:19:36 +0000 Anonymous 1900670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bag is way too cute for words and really gives that pop to both looks!&nbsp; I have a lot of purple in my wardrobe so it would absolutely fit right in here and be a nice change of pace from my everyday&nbsp; practical bags.&nbsp; I am a "The Sak" and "Stone Mountain" leather fan- both are reasonable, hard working and last forever!<br />Having been born with foot issues requiring numerous foot surgeries, I too need practical shoes.&nbsp; Walking Cradle and Rockports have been my go to brands.&nbsp; In my next life I hope karma lets me wear pretty shoes that I see all my YLF Friends posting!!!&nbsp; I just found a German company that you can change the heel height-oh I am so in love with those shoes but I will have to dream on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900668 Thu, 22 Mar 2018 00:12:14 +0000 Carla 1900668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous bag! I like the MJ's. I think doc's go with lots of outfits and are mainstream enough to be accepted in most situations (and way more fashionable than conventional orthopaedic shoes.). They look great with your cropped skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900655 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 22:59:35 +0000 Anonymous 1900655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy crap - what a gorgeous bag! &nbsp;Docs are so far outside my norm I can't even. &nbsp;Dress looks cute - and not too short.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900650 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 22:34:47 +0000 Thistle 1900650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that bag is amazing!

It's a gorgeous purple.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900647 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 22:21:02 +0000 Anonymous 1900647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900605 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 19:19:45 +0000 LaPed 1900605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good to know about the Virginia leather. They have the 1460 boot and 1461 oxford in lilac Virginia leather this spring, and hearing that it's soft and flexible makes me think it might be worth a try... </p> <p>ETA -- I can see why the bag appealed to you! I think it will be very versatile. It's not neutral, but it's also not a shouty colour, and the shape is so great.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-bag-crush-and-practical-shoe-find#post-1900597 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 18:48:16 +0000 gradfashionista 1900597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I alluded to a new bag crush in a previous thread and am sharing it here. </p> <p>But first: a new shoe find! If you have wide feet and wear orthotics and can stomach the thought of yet another pair of MJs (IYKWIM), check out Doc’s 8065 Virginia shoe. As much as I prefer the black patent and cherry red over the matte version I bought, these are much softer. I’ve worn them once outside and my heels lived to tell the tale, which is more than I can say about some of my recent Doc finds. They are stable, though not ideal for low volume feet. <a href="http://www.drmartens.com/us/p/womens-shoes-virginia-8065-pw" rel="nofollow">http://www.drmartens.com/us/p/.....ia-8065-pw</a></p> <p>As for the crush bag, there are actually two that I’m considering; this is the roomier one and more likely contender. Zip top, contrasting brass handles, with brass touches. Helps bring pizzazz to my otherwise current and forseaable casual style. Photographed with a shirt dress that arrived today and is slightly too short (a size larger would be slightly longer, but very voluminous), as well as casual joggers that I’ve yet to wear out. </p>
