And--in my experience with shopping, sometimes NOTHING works and sometimes too much works! If you stay true to your (evolving) style then the periods tend to balance each other out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986213 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:30:52 +0000 DonnaF 986213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly what cciele said.&nbsp; If you were still at the bank, I might have said otherwise.&nbsp; Your job requires you to be on your feet so you really, really, REALLY need to take care of them.&nbsp; If feet were something that could be blown off, then we wouldn't have podiatrists.</p> <p>As to the rest of the stuff, I will leave it to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986195 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:06:13 +0000 annagybe 986195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them with the plaid dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986192 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:04:20 +0000 cciele 986192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take care of your feet! So important especially since your work requires you to be up and about. So I would prioritize these over other items.</p> <p>As far as keeping other items, I guess that's between you and your budget..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986188 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 19:00:49 +0000 Debra 986188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definite keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986161 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 18:26:58 +0000 Gaylene 986161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's perfectly natural for shopping to be cyclical. Sometimes it's so easy to find things I like and that fit, while, at other times, I start wondering if I have really weird taste, or body shape, because I can't find <i>anything</i> in the shops.</p> <p>Enjoy your current phase because who knows when the next drought will occur--and, by the way, I think that 12-hour shoes ought be snapped up<i> <b>every</b></i><b> </b>time you find them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986151 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 18:01:10 +0000 Marley 986151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this is a no-brainer "keep."&nbsp; Foot comfort - and beautfiul style?&nbsp; This is a <i>need</i> for your current life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986144 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:47:17 +0000 rebekahphoto 986144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae I say keep the boots if they are comfy!&nbsp; I have fussy feet, and so the search for comfortable (and cool) shoes seems to go on and on. Sometimes I feel a but guilty for having too many,&nbsp; but then I realize that when your feet hurt, everything else is affected.....</p> <p>the keeping stuff I also can emphasize with---as a big thrifter, I have typically lots of hunts of ebay &amp; vintage for my wardrobe. I recently have been ordering from the stores (sales mostly) and keeping more than I thought I would (the leather spiegel is on its way, as well as NAS stuff), a bit unusual for me.</p> <p>I have to remind myself my shape has changed, I am tightening up my wardbrobe and these items I am keeping are all high quality, and fit in wardrobe holes. so ultimately getting dressed should be simpler and more fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986137 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:35:18 +0000 rae 986137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FlorenceFearne, I do consider them TTS. The brand runs slightly narrow, but that works for me. Most styles also usually come in a Wide option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986124 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:19:43 +0000 goldenpig 986124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Foot comfort trumps all. It's your job after all--you need to protect your feet. I agree, you are nailing your style which is why your hit rate is climbing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986121 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:18:07 +0000 FlorenceFearne 986121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a boot addict with fussy feet, so I'm adding these to my shopping list right now. Truly comfy shoes are always worth the keep, I think. Do the Timberlands run TTS?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986120 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:15:58 +0000 Anonymous 986120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If these are as comfortable as the tall version, you <b>need </b>these.<b> </b>&nbsp;Keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986117 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:12:42 +0000 cloud9 986117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfort factor is a big here, Rae.&nbsp; 12-hour-standing shoes are hard to come by.&nbsp; If these are the top rank for comfort, I'd keep for your work fleet.&nbsp; &nbsp; You can alway sell some of the less comfy thus less worn ones.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986115 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 17:04:02 +0000 rae 986115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I don't feel guilty about keeping these or any one purchase. They are all awesome, good deals, and things I will use a very long time. I guess I am just not used to like, buying stuff outright... usually fund by more reselling. I will feel better when my winter coat and some other Ebay items sell.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986102 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:44:53 +0000 catgirl 986102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you've certainly nailed your current style which could be the reason you're keeping and loving more items.&nbsp; Do you feel guilt over keeping them?&nbsp; They look fantastic to me.&nbsp; The tall version of these didn't work for me when I tried them last year but I know they are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986096 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:40:41 +0000 Anonymous 986096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the booties! And Rae, you are investing in yourself with these purchases. It might feel like you are spending tons but there is a reason -- you have a different job and are undergoing a style shift too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/permission-to-keep-1#post-986092 Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:37:31 +0000 rae 986092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Timberland knee high boots recently took over the title of Rae's Most Comfy Footwear - wore them on my 12-hour first day of NAS, and my feet hardly noticed.&nbsp;So when I saw an amazing deal on the bootie version (both the Stratham Heights footbed), I had to try them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm a little anxious because I keep <i>keeping</i> stuff - I always order a lot during the summer sales, but&nbsp;I usually return 90% of orders. Kept perfume, that new work cardigan, the Brahmin bag, and of course the olive Burberry.&nbsp;And I still have that Spiegel Bebe-ish jacket, NAS sunglasses &amp; sweater, replacement black jeggings,&nbsp;and replacement Worishofers coming. </p> <p>Maybe I ought to pass on the sweater and wear my Pill &amp; Larkin another season? Foot pain has been the more pressing concern lately.</p> <p>Booties shown with jeans and bare legs.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
