I've been using them for recess duty and leading school nature walks as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nemosmom -- high five, Vans twin! I have a pair of Adidas in a lighter green and a lower cut that will be my substitute once the weather warms up and the ground dries out. Still waiting, as we just got another inch of snow last night...</p> <p>Lesley -- It is <b>so</b> nice to be able to wear sneakers in the winter. Totally different vibe than boots and booties, which I also love, but I start to feel some boot fatigue midway through the winter.</p> <p>kkards -- I'm loving cotton sweaters this spring too. :)</p> <p>rachylou -- the shoes are from Xero:&nbsp; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://xeroshoes.com/shop/closed-toe-shoes/lena/">https://xeroshoes.com/shop/closed-toe-shoes/lena/</a><br />I've had a navy pair for a couple of years, and wear them so, so much. I'm excited to experiment with the lighter-coloured ones!</p> <p>Runcarla, Nomad, Jenn and Suntiger -- I'm glad to see so much love for the jumpsuit. I'm looking forward to wearing it when it finally warms up. I'm thinking about pairing it with my Angie lemming glitter mary-janes for a couple of special events I have coming up this spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2018092 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 15:27:12 +0000 Anonymous 2018092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that burgundy jumpsuit!<br /> I'm so ready to say bye to sleeves too..and tights-especially tights...and having 8 different toppers in the car.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2017987 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 04:07:41 +0000 Jenn 2017987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new additions! I hope you enjoy the jumpsuit...I've been pleasantly surprised by how convenient mine has been already. There's something quite wonderful about just grabbing one piece from the closet, but not having it be a dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2017969 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 01:13:04 +0000 Nomad 2017969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jumpsuit is spectacular...

I have been contemplating getting *some* kind of fleece-lined footwear next fall. Still deciding between booties and high tops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2017898 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 15:53:56 +0000 nemosmom 2017898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great additions you’ve made! I have those vans and love them; I am sad to put them away in the summer!<br /> The raw silk top sounds like a great versatile piece and I bet the jumpsuit is a beautiful color on you. </p> <p>Fingers crossed that the chinos work out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2017724 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 22:55:37 +0000 Sal 2017724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well thought out additions!!&nbsp; They all look super useful and your style.&nbsp; I love those ski pants - one way to be spotted on the slopes.</p> <p>I am at 10 to today with half being thrifted or second hand items......&nbsp; One gear (running shoes) and one almost gear (sporty luxe light weight puffer).&nbsp; The downside with thifting is that I am better at getting statements so my next four months will need to focus on some essentials (a plain knit sweater, a couple of simple layering tops etc) and some new jeans at some point.</p> <p>Look forward to hearing how the silk top and jumpsuit go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2017720 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 22:22:57 +0000 LaPed 2017720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll report back on the chinos when the arrive.

Very carefully selected.<br /> I might get those chinos too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q1-slow-ish-shop#post-2017708 Wed, 03 Apr 2019 21:38:20 +0000 LaPed 2017708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick Q1 wrap-up. I didn't commit to a specific slow-shop goal, but I am trying to be extra PPP (patient, picky, practical) this year. My purchases have averaged out to one gear purchase and one "fashion" purchase per month, and I did a small basics refresh in January (3 pairs of underwear and a bralette, which I'll try to remember to review at some point). My gear purchases have been "bigger" than my street-clothes additions, which does reflect the amount of wear they get. I added a great pair of ski bibs (such a cool print!) and a pair of insulated hiking boots (to replace a pair from a couple years ago that just wasn't warm enough). I also picked up a pair of barefoot style canvas sneakers on super sale as a direct replacement for a pair I've worn into the ground.</p> <p>Now for the fun stuff! To combat late-winter shoe boredom, I sprang for these fleecy, water-resistant Vans hi-tops. The olive/white combo is super versatile for me, and I get lots of compliments on them (from kids and teens especially, lol). In anticipation of spring, I added a cotton sweater from Everlane (perfect layering piece, love the colour) and a deeply discounted modal jersey jumpsuit in a yummy plum colour. I'm thinking of the jumpsuit as an experiment: I love the cut and colour, and if I reach for it enough this summer, I might be able to justify looking for something similar in a woven fabrication.&nbsp;</p> <p>April may end up being a bigger month. I've already added a cropped raw silk tank that matches a raw silk skirt I added last summer. Very excited to wear the two together as a two-piece dress, and the top works well with other skirts and high-rise pants as well. (Both the tank top and the jumpsuit have reversible necklines, V to scoop -- genius). Can't wait 'til it's warm enough for sleeveless! </p> <p>I really want to add one or two pairs of loose-fitting chinos (I have a great pair of olive chinos from two years ago, and I'm worried the knees will give out before I find a substitute), and recently placed an order for the Alex Mill pants in a couple of different sizes. On the "gear" front, I'd really like to add a new swimsuit and retire my oldest one, and I desperately need a new pair of pool sandals, since I lost my old flip-flops at the pool a couple months ago. Boo. I should probably add a pair of flat, casual sandals as well, since all of mine are at least a couple seasons old.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a feeling that even if I add a few extra items in April, it will even out in the end, as I don't tend to shop much between Memorial Day and Labor Day.&nbsp; </p>
