Footwear-wise, fall and winter are easy peasy for me. For one thing, you get to wear socks. Ergo, chafing is a non-issue. Ankle booties go with everything for me. I've got lots. It's summer that's the problem -- shoes without socks tend to be uncomfortable, unless they're sandals with a lot of ventilation, and what IS the deal with sandals these days? I've been looking for low wedges that aren't old-lady sandals, and they're hard to find. Mostly you get dead flat sandals, or super-high-heeled sandals, or else flip flops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-and-footwear#post-1531527 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 19:37:09 +0000 kellygirl 1531527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, pants! I have been struggling with this lately. Skinnies with mid calf boots are my default because they are so easy. I have been struggling with straights lately because I don't like too much bunching around the ankles. Scrunch with skinnies is fine but the same scrunching with boots drives me batty. I will be following this thread with interest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pants-and-footwear#post-1531425 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 17:00:33 +0000 always trying 1531425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>summer is easy-show some leg,how much depends on the look, weather, type of shoe etc.&nbsp; Roll pants, capris, jeans or whatever, &nbsp;or not is usually easy to decide.&nbsp; Everything seems to look great with sandals, flats, sneakers, booties, heels of all kinds be it sandals, wedges, or whatever.</p> <p>Now comes fall and winter, and the what, how, socks, no socks, boot heights, and length and width of the pants, jeans, etc. gets to be a problem.&nbsp; I think that is why tall boots are so popular, just tuck in the skinnies and, or leggings and you are good to go.&nbsp; But with all the variations in shaft height of booties, heel heights, widths of pants and jeans, need for warmth by adding socks ,and &nbsp;not wanting to just roll and show bare leg, problems arise.</p> <p>I am finding that my ankle booties are the biggest problem.&nbsp; Just analyzing my fall winter&nbsp; booties, I realize that I&nbsp; seldom wore my lower ones.&nbsp; somehow they just do not work for me unless I show some leg, even if it is just a little bit.&nbsp; do you think longer jeans that bunch look OK with the low ankle booties?&nbsp; What about skinnies that are just at ankle, with oxfords, sneakers, or other type flats?&nbsp; what I wore most and liked best are my booties that have about 5" shaft height, and fit tight around my leg. With ample calves, getting into higher shaft boots is a fitting problem though.&nbsp; Interested in comments, solutions, and your problems with this fall/ winter issue.</p>
