Thank you Angie for weighing in again.<br /> I think I will keep both! The trench is kind of a fun " essential" that I will enjoy coordinating with other colors in outfits.<br /> The oxfords are stepping out s but compared to styles I've worn befor but I feel like " going there " even if just to experiment. Part of my rationale is that the boxier style, while risking the clunky look, is GOOD for my feet. So I want to start seeing how to do less compromising there ( for everyday wear).. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792638 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 14:30:25 +0000 JAileen 1792638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the coat on you. I can't see the subtle pattern, but I remember it. I thought it was really really nice. Enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792624 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 14:10:22 +0000 Angie 1792624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep the trench. Looks fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792529 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 07:26:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 1792529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all. I LOVE the Dansko Oxfords with the skirts- very Miss Fisher 1928 as per my comment on the other thread. They look so classy! Also you look great in the trench and not a poor imitation at all. Think you need to change your user name as cannot believe you were ever "frumped" ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792478 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 02:52:19 +0000 unfrumped 1792478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I added a few pics of trench with lighter pants to show up better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792468 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 02:16:14 +0000 Jaime 1792468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the trench and the oxfords are great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792394 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 21:20:53 +0000 unfrumped 1792394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for comments!<br /> I may give them a bash. What's funny is I need longer skirts( by just a titch or so) with the heel than with tights-- these are about right but could be 1/2 " longer. So I have fewer skirts I would wear with the heeled oxfords. Weird.<br /> Sorry about pics of trench. Bad lighting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792273 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:30:29 +0000 Ginger 1792273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the shoes, too. Especially with the pencil skirts, which I was more unsure about from your first thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792272 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:30:27 +0000 Liz A. 1792272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I just love all your outfits, but I have to say I prefer 7, 8, and 10. &nbsp;I do prefer the oxfords over the ballet flats in 9.</p> <p>I had my eye on those oxfords as well, but I'm not sure I'm feeling them after seeing the pics. &nbsp;May be a poison eye on my part for the heel shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792270 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:28:19 +0000 Angie 1792270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the trench, but need better pics to assess the fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE THE DANSKOS ON YOU.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792265 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:19:06 +0000 Anonymous 1792265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen that trench in the store and really like it! &nbsp;Can't comment on the fit as the pics are a little dark on my monitor. &nbsp;I'm surprised at myself for actually liking those shoes on you . They are way out of my own style zone, but I can appreciate the quality and the classic, and classy look they provide for your workwear. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792258 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:14:30 +0000 Joyce B 1792258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the trench coat on you. Have you tried it over a pencil skirt or pants with a tapered ankle?<br /> The oxfords look good to me but check really well that you don't walk out of them since you are describing a gap in the back and overlapping laces. It's always hard to find good shoes.<br /> Your PG shoes are fab and I bet they are comfortable as can be!<br /> I love the pencil skirt with the oxfords, I think I will copy you on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pics-of-the-br-plaid-trench-and-dansko-oxfords-advise#post-1792253 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 16:01:33 +0000 unfrumped 1792253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finally doing some try-ons. First is BR trench, I had to wait for the BR trench I originally ordered online before I realized the item was in store, but only in the smaller size , to decide. This is the XS which fits best, since bulky layering is not needed (it fits over a blazer though snugs up the armhole). The dark color doesn't photo well but the plaid reads as "off-navy," or off-black in some lighting, and is not too patterned to mix with others.</p> <p>Now the Shoes--Dansko oxfords. I could use some objective "eyes".<br />Please ignore run in hose; these are sheer hose for try-ons so don't have to risk good hose.<br />First, 1-4 are with pencil skirts.<br />Then showing 2 types of flats I have worn in summer and would still wear for variety . The pointy is &nbsp;comfortable except for LONG day and pointy is not so good for my toes. The T strap is rounded and comfortable. Not shown is&nbsp;an &nbsp;AGL &nbsp;nude ballet flat which is 1/2 size too small for best size now but they have not offered another nude--may have to phase them out due to comfort.</p> <p>&nbsp;Next are with some pants to see if these<br /> would be versatile. Skirts are my target, to add a "heel" bu to have rounded toe for fussy feet. For pants I always feel I have more options, such as loafers.<br />5-6 Black ankle pants,&nbsp;white ankle pants.<br />I need to try darker top with black, for column of color before the change to nude shoe, since is different proportion to "closing the gap" with the black ankle strap flat.&nbsp;<br />Then 7-10 are some other footwear options I would wear (still): the PG black flats, some gray loafers, and 2 types of flats for skirts.<br />Fit seems good though I could have used narrower--lacing up nearly overlaps the top edges; slight gap in heel that I &nbsp;may be able to fix, but gapping is huge problem now that I have to size up a bit for R foot.</p> <p>What are you seeing? Any worthwhile difference over classic flats? Other styling ideas? Start over?<br />Comments and suggestions welcome. </p> <p>Not sure much better but added 11-12 pics of XS trench (poor imitation of the online model!), and 13 of size S.</p>
