Great color!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-897051 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 05:44:49 +0000 annaj 897051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the trench and the shoes! If I was you, I'd search for a scarf with a hint of the turquoise from the shoes, and/or perhaps a small pair of earrings in that colour - it might help to "bookend" things a little and help you feel a little more put together.<br /><br />I love the pops of colour - basic pants and tops underneath and you will still look great!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-897025 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 04:27:03 +0000 carolbee 897025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your trench looks great. &nbsp;The shoes are fine, comfort and pain free is to be first considration. &nbsp;I tracked down a Saucony black pair that I use for travelling. &nbsp;IF you want to tone the shoes down have you considered getting grey laces and using black marker pen to tone down where you can (only need to do this if you would feel more comfortable with them, they are fine as is). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896922 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 02:21:58 +0000 Sveta 896922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The trench in great and the color looks fresh on you.<br />As for the shoes - no pain beats anything in my book! You can try to tuck in the laces as Angie did in the today's post. afte all if the rest of your outfit going to be stylish those running shoes will fit right in as a sporty trend <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896915 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 02:14:49 +0000 Anonymous 896915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I meant the same color trench as Rae's...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896903 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 01:53:25 +0000 Jaime 896903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agree the trench is superb and the sneakers are a great color. It is so much more important to be able to walk around in comfort than anything else. You will forget about them in no time when you get there. (A little red wine and cheese is prescribed for low moments though.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896897 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 01:45:56 +0000 Isabel 896897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mochhi !! &nbsp;You look AMAZING in that trench ! &nbsp;I never would have guessed how well you pull off that color. Wow. &nbsp;I wore Gallery trenches when I worked and I loved them so much that they were the only brand I bought. Very reasonable priced for a great quality trench. You scored. I love the sneakers too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896895 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 01:43:21 +0000 velvetychocolate 896895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mochi - I'm so glad you didn't get a "should have" colour. <br /><br />It's really neat how a fab colour in a classic (updated) item totally livens up one's wardrobe. Angie has written about this on her blog in the past. <br /><br />I have lots of boring basics, and I recently bought my first leather jacket in a stone/cafe-au-lait colour. For years, I assumed I would get a black (or maybe brown) leather jacket. For some reason, I just went ahead and did something 'new', and you know what? That thing looks great against all my boring basics. Plain black sweater, blue jeans, and then...there is the CAFE AU LAIT jacket - laughing at myself here, but hopefully you get the idea of what I'm saying. <br /><br />Your new citron trench is just like that. It will elevate everything you wear. White shirt, blue jeans, runners, and the amazing trench that just makes the entire look. It just wouldn't be the same if it were navy, grey, black or red. <br /><br />Fab find, and it looks great on you! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896833 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:42:37 +0000 rae 896833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, that trench is so similar to the one Zap got for me ("mine" had black buttons). If they had made an XS, I would have got that in a heartbeat! I LOVE seeing it on you!<br /><br />The shoes are just fine, Nancy. Wear them with attitude, and they will be your nod to the sporty trend. The mint laces are even an in color. I'm assuming you and DH won't be wearing matched gear jackets and khaki shorts and fanny packs, so you will not scream Stereotypical American Tourist. Your killer trench, haircut, bags, jeans/slacks, tops, and jewelry will show off your style. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896832 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:37:39 +0000 Mochi 896832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really sorry to hear that, agnes. I was told the PF could be treated aggressively and successfully if caught very soon, but after that initial stage,&nbsp;it takes much much longer to heal.&nbsp;<br /><br />Velvety, the citron color is growing on me. This must be my version of "going outside your comfort zone." I *should have* bought the dark navy, or the red especially...but the sour was calling to me on this one. But what I love even more is the crisp cut and overall quality of this trench. It doesn't look like it will bag out at all.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thanks, everyone, for the shoe love, too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896829 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:32:49 +0000 Raisin 896829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the jacket Mochi. &nbsp;That's a complete 2 thumbs up!<br /><br />As for the sneakers. &nbsp;I think at this point the most important thing is to have something comfortable that will not aggravate your plantar fasciitis. &nbsp;Nothing will ruin your trip more than foot pain while walking around. &nbsp;I know for running I need to take a full size up because of foot swelling, so I guess it's totally possible your foot could swell a lot if your walking like 8 hours a day. &nbsp;I've lost toe nails from having too small shoes when running. &nbsp;The shoes are great looking sneakers. &nbsp;If they feel too bright for you, maybe replace the laces with black or grey ones? &nbsp; I think the grey color of the shoe will blend in well.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896820 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:25:38 +0000 Agnes 896820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Plantar fasciitus is very annoying! mine is only just getting better now after two years. So I totally think think comfort is the most important thing for your footwear. i did despair at some of the shoes I have had to wear, but it did help.<br />Wishing you a fabulous trip with pain free feet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896819 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:25:20 +0000 velvetychocolate 896819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look like a million bucks in that gorgeous trench coat - I *love* the colour on you and it looks sooo stylish. WOW!<br /><br />I have a Gallery trench coat too - I think it's the same one MaryK has - hers is brown, and mine is the dreaded black. I wish I had brown, or even better - your gorgeous,lime-ish green-without-being-over-the-top version. That said, I think the quality is excellent, and I'm very happy with my Gallery trench. <br /><br />The shoes look a lot better than I was expecting while reading your post - snazzy colours. Just for the record, there were times during my own Europe trip that I resorted to wearing Skechers runners, just because I had to - too much climbing and hiking around. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. And besides - these new running shoes you have coordinate beautifully with your new and very fab trench <br /><br />I'm still smiling here because I love your new trench - just fabulous! <br /><br />eta: I like that trench on you so much, that I'm almost considering looking it up and seeing about buying it...and I already have two black trench coats, one orchid/fuschia trench, one ink blue anorak..I do NOT need another trench or raincoat right now, but this one is just so fab on you! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896815 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:23:31 +0000 hedgiehog 896815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I actually like the shoes! Turquoise is one of my favourite colours so I'd be happy with those and the coat.....just fabulous!<br />Molto Bella! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896812 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:21:50 +0000 rachylou 896812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love both the shoes and the trench! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896807 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:18:52 +0000 Vildy 896807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just chiming in to say I love the trench on you and I've had several Gallery trenches through the years and they were well made. (I edit my wardrobe a lot so I didn't get rid of them because they had faults)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896787 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 00:04:25 +0000 Jules 896787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The shoes are much better than I was expecting from your post. I like the aqua lace and it is trendy, but you could also try a navy lace and see how that looks? But nothing wrong with owning the aqua as a great spring colour.<br />The trench is great, the citron looks a bit&nbsp;muted which is perfect. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896775 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:59:49 +0000 Diana 896775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I was going to tell you to go to Marathon, actually.&nbsp; They know what they are doing.&nbsp; And it's pretty standard to have to go up a whole size for athletic shoes.&nbsp; They tend to be sized shorter than normal shoes and you are supposed to buy them to fit your feet after they have gotten all swollen from exercising.&nbsp; It looks like you got powersteps as well, which I have and like (although they are a little high-arched for my very flat feet, so I save them for my flatter shoes); try them in some other pairs of shoes.&nbsp; You might be surprised at how much better they make normal shoes.&nbsp; Seriously, for me, it was like a revelation since my feet stopped sliding all around my shoes.<br /><br />I like the grey with turquoise!&nbsp; (But those are my colors...) but if you wanted a more subtle look you could change the laces to grey or something.<br /><br />The trench is fab!&nbsp; I love the color for you. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896772 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:58:30 +0000 Thistle 896772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, the shoes are gear shoes, but you knew that. Still, I thinks he are nice looking gear shoes! &nbsp;Not garish at all!<br /><br />love the coat! &nbsp;I think it looks terrific on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896765 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:53:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 896765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ THE TRENCH!!!! Gorgeous beyond belief. Love the colour on you Mochi.<br /><br />Comfortable shoes are a must for traveling and you don't want pain to slow you down or ruin your sightseeing. FWIW I think these shoes are fine and like Suz, I like the colour. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896764 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:53:33 +0000 Anonymous 896764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ haha, that's the trench I bought for Rae and she had to return. &nbsp;Looks great.As for the sneakers, well, not my cuppa but comfy is key!<br /><br />have a great trip! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896756 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:50:19 +0000 Suz 896756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YAY for the trench!! Angie recommended a Gallery trench last year, and this is going to be a huge winner for you. Check out "finds" (the older ones) and you'll see what she (and others) said about last year's model. A really good brand.&nbsp;<br /><br />As for the shoes -- don't hate me -- but I actually kinda like them!! The fun turquoise laces and grey make them look intentional. And athletic shoes are trending. It is not going to be anywhere near as bad as you think. Hang in there and get ready to have fun!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896746 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:41:06 +0000 Gaylene 896746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That coat is absolutely beautiful on you. And this is the first time I've ever heard Angie give 100 thumbs up!<br /><br />As for the shoes, they are fine. For what it's worth, not every European wears fashionable clothes, just like anywhere else. And, as far as looking like a tourist, you <i>are</i> a tourist. As long as you are appropriately dressed, you'll enjoy being in Italy, see lots of interesting sights, and have a great time. And that is the point of the trip, isn't it?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896744 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:39:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 896744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ More love for the coat - that's a great buy imo.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896738 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:35:13 +0000 K. Period. 896738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just have a couple of things to say about this:&nbsp;<br />1. Since athletic looks are early-trending, you are going to look like the fabulous stylish hipster that you are even though you are in athletic shoes. If you had to be forced into this look by physical necessity, you couldn't have been at a more opportune time.&nbsp;<br />2. With the ultra-fabulous citron trench you are going to look amazing. You'll look like a stylish gal who knows how to take a risk and be fabulous, not someone who is only comfortable hiding in black. &nbsp;(I'm in the hide in black when travelling crew, so no disparagement there, just saying it takes a lot more guts to go colorful and be fabulous.)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896734 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:28:15 +0000 pil 896734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I prefer the gray to the black, it look more intentional than institutional.&nbsp;<br />How much gray and aqua do you have in your closet ? : )<br />Not that you want to wear a miniskirt, but I found this on pinterest<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/459367230711634785/"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/459367230711634785/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/459367230711634785/</a> </a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896730 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:20:10 +0000 Mochi 896730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks!!!! I needed to hear that!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896728 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:18:13 +0000 Angie 896728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE THE TRENCH! A 20 out of 10 when you've shortened the sleeves. <br /><br />Gallery is weatherproof and excellent quality. If I had 100 thumbs they would all be up. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoe-update-sigh-and-kr#post-896725 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 23:13:06 +0000 Mochi 896725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ETA: I'll need to do something with the sleeves, but that's to be expected. The coat's overall length seems to be good......right?&nbsp;
