I think if I knew I was going to stay in for the evening, I'd change too but I've always got a pickup or drop off or something after dinner. I hate to be seen in my loungewear in public!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016456 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 02:09:15 +0000 Diana 1016456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Pil, I decide what to bring for lunch based on what I am wearing that day.&nbsp; Monday, I brought safe chicken and rice (rather than spaghetti) because I was wearing a white shirt! I cook and eat dinner in loungewear so it's not an issue then.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016449 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 02:05:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1016449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! Love how you've styled them. <br />I would spray them, yes, especially before wearing in the rain. I have a spray, AEO brand, that I bought a long time ago at a shoe store. I have no idea if it's a good brand, but I imagine anything recommended by a good shoe repair place or shoe department would be fine. <br />eta: oops, just realized rain isn't an issue.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016448 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 02:04:19 +0000 pil 1016448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same for me, Kelly and Diana. I need to dip myself in waterproofing - I just splattered something on my silk BR tank tonight. My husband suggested a solution would be to eat meals without a top. What a guy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016445 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:59:54 +0000 kellygirl 1016445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Pil. I did a search on waterproofing spray--sounds like I need to find one that's okay for suede. I may be heading to the mall this weekend so I will inquire at Nordstrom. I'm less worried about rain than spills and stuff.&nbsp; </p> <p></p> <p>@Diana: Thanks for the link! I will definitely look for that. I was telling Pil that I'm more worried about spilling on them than wearing them in the rain. I guess I'm not alone :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016444 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:59:27 +0000 Diana 1016444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like them.&nbsp; The color is perfect for you and will play nicely with your wardrobe.</p> <p>I use this kiwi suede protector stuff that you can buy at the drugstore.&nbsp; It works well but stinks to high heaven (the smell airs out though after a day or two) so do it outside if you can!&nbsp; I don't wear my suede shoes in the rain but it protects them if they get splashed by accident.&nbsp; (Maybe it's just me but I always end up dripping water from my hands on my shoes and clothes after I wash my hands at lab or in the bathroom.)<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Kiwi-Suede-Protector-4-25oz/dp/B001333OZQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Johnson-.....B001333OZQ</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016441 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:56:33 +0000 pil 1016441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sprayed mine and it didn't seem to affect the suede. I still sprayed again every so often during the fall and winter though I can't remember what product I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016437 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:53:51 +0000 Jaime 1016437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016424 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:44:34 +0000 catgirl 1016424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, they are fantastic.&nbsp; They look like the color of my Rag &amp; Bone "petrol" colored booties - practically a neutral in our closets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petty-or-not#post-1016417 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:43:12 +0000 kellygirl 1016417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Everyone! Sold! I'm going to keep them. For those of you with Pettys, did you spray them before wearing? I don't plan on wearing in the rain but should I anyway? Any recommendations?
