I always thought combat boots had laces. Oh well, whatever they are, I like them. Will get a closeup picture shortly, but for now:</p> <p><a href="http://0.tqn.com/d/accessories/1/0/D/6/-/-/stuart-weitzman-skirmish-boot.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://0.tqn.com/d/accessories.....h-boot.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/philadelphia-ylf-meetup-part-i#post-233791 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 22:08:53 +0000 Angie 233791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clearly, Maya. And thanks for chiming back in. I don't know why I thought you bought more OTK boots at DSW? Anyway, you bought SW combat boots and they look fabulous - would love a close up picture though. </p> <p>Over and out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/philadelphia-ylf-meetup-part-i#post-233776 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 21:52:22 +0000 Maya 233776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think you need a cup of tea You are all mixed up! No OTK boots here. The only OTK boots I have are the NAS boots. The ones I got were the SW ones from DSW that you thought April bought. The ones I'm wearing in the other post are the SW boots from DSW.</p> <p>But now I'm curious about these CK boots.</p> <p>Anyway, go have that cup of tea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/philadelphia-ylf-meetup-part-i#post-233773 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 21:44:06 +0000 MsMary 233773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FUN!!!

The yellow shoes are fab so glad they finally found a home x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/philadelphia-ylf-meetup-part-i#post-233733 Sun, 17 Oct 2010 19:28:39 +0000 April 233733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our plan was for me to pick up Maya and Tanya at the train station and head over to a vegan restaurant where we would meet Lisa for brunch. I was standing in the designated meeting spot when I saw a tall, lovely woman in a great oufit approaching. I knew it had to be Tanya based on two things: 1.) She was wearing <a href="http://www.dsw.com/shoe/me+too+sunset+wedge+pump?prodId=206139&amp;brand=300237">these silver shoes</a>, and 2.) She had the world's tiniest waist. While we were chatting and waiting for Maya, I got a call on my cell phone and it was Mae! She had forgotten about the meetup and was thrilled to hear where I was at that moment.</p> <p>Maya arrived in an outfit of cutting-edge stylishness: short tweed shorts worn with tights and knee-high boots (more later about the boots); strong-shoulder jacket; bright red vegan bag and purple scarf. We headed over to the restaurant to meet Lisa, who was wearing gorgeous gray Cole-Haan boots and another fabulous scarf. (You'll see the outfits in the group photo in Part II.)</p> <p>After brunch, we hit the streets. Within one block, a stranger stopped to compliment Lisa on her outfit. When we entered our first stop, Club Monaco, the tall, beautifully-dressed SA made a beeline for Maya to gush over her fashion-forward outfit. I found a beautiful sheer, purple silk blouse and made the first purchase of the day AND -- got a present from Maya! The yellow Fly London pumps that had failed to fit Maya, Angie, or Sihaya turned out to fit me perfectly. A Cinderella moment. (PHOTOS 1 &amp; 2) ( I can feel Angie having an apoplexy, but I am hiking up my jeans to show the shoes -- they're not that short!)</p> <p>Club Monaco was hard on Tanya as it's her favorite store and she is part of the SYC shopping ban, but she was a better sport than I would have been.</p> <p>The next purchase of the day occurred at Cole-Haan, where Lisa got the most gorgeous flat oxfords -- in a stunning shade of dark purple. (PHOTO 3) Maya contemplated her first venture into a life of crime -- stealing the same shoes in her size -- but we managed to wrestle her out of the store and onto the sidewalk.</p> <p>In <a href="http://philadelphiastatus.com/joan-shepp-premium-philadelphia-fashion">Joan Shepp</a>, Tanya found adorable infant ballet slippers and thus managed both to keep her SYC commitment and participate in shopping by purchasing a gift for a friend's newborn. (PHOTO 4) We ogled a number of out-of-range items including a hot pink coat with saucer-sized purple buttons. (PHOTOS 5 &amp; 6). Hard to tell in the photo, but that button would fill the palm of your hand. Fabulous! </p> <p>Stay tuned for Part II... </p>
