The sandal fits your foot so perfectly. I agree with the additions others have suggested- a metallic and a comfy flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929991 Sat, 11 May 2013 03:58:34 +0000 Anonymous 929991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the snake Clarks flat sandals!&nbsp; If you wear sandals much, they would be a lovely addition.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929988 Sat, 11 May 2013 03:53:23 +0000 Day Vies 929988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #1 &amp;2 but then I love a refined shoe. I see no holes here but I would love those patent Enzo's. They can come and live with me... (please?) ;-)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929939 Sat, 11 May 2013 02:08:49 +0000 Sveta 929939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The Blondo sandals are amazing, I wish they come in my size because this is exactly what I need. What a find!<br />The oxfords are great too. All in all I think you are very well set for summer, Shannon - ut maybe a pair of&nbsp; flat casual sandals? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929932 Sat, 11 May 2013 01:59:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 929932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, yes, I do like those Clarks to cover the the flat and snakeskin print hole.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929569 Fri, 10 May 2013 16:45:49 +0000 Ariadne 929569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've been eyeing those DV oxfords for a couple of months and just noticed they're on sale. &nbsp;I love them on you. &nbsp;I might have to go for them! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929554 Fri, 10 May 2013 16:26:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 929554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Glory - love the look of those sandals but unfortunately I can't do the "between-the-toes" thingy - drives me nuts.<br /><br />missvee - love the idea of something silvery. Hmmm...will need to further investigate that. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929448 Fri, 10 May 2013 13:35:31 +0000 missvee 929448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your new choices, especially the Blondos. You have quite a good summer shoe wardrobe right now, but if you wanted to add something else, what about silver, maybe in a really shiny finish? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929443 Fri, 10 May 2013 13:31:08 +0000 Glory 929443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wonderful collection and I adore the new sandals. Like Suz I may have to investigate those ones.<br />The casual side of the sandal collection - perhaps a flat sandal in bone or snakeskin for weekends/ errands etc. Something like this one which I can attest to be immensely comfy.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929432 Fri, 10 May 2013 13:23:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 929432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie - glad you approve :)&nbsp;<br /><br />Joy &amp; Firecracker - I agree about maybe a snakeprint sandal and I do think a flat sandal is in order since most of these have some sort of heel. I think I'm going to go back and try on the Clarks that I also considered yesterday&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.canadianfootwear.com/product;cat,0;item,13385;Casual-Dress-Lower-No-Heel-64387-">http://www.canadianfootwear.co.....eel-64387-</a>&nbsp;- it could cover both needs, don't you think?<br /><br />Suz - I wear a 6 in Clarks and 6.5 in pretty much everything else (Sam Edelman boots, both pairs are 6.5). I got the Blondo's in 6.5 and they are perfect. Are you normally a 6.5? &nbsp;The Boutique 9's are going to be purged I think. The insides are completely falling apart and they have recently slipped from a 10 on the comfort scale to about an 8 due to a bit of shape changing in my left foot. I'm not sure I want to go to the expense of having the insides re-lined for a shoe that wasn't overly expensive to begin with.<br /><br />Firecracker - I think I might indeed try Angie's water trick for those two little trouble spots. Thanks for the reminder!<br /><br />Natalie - the Fly London sandals are a size 6 - interested? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929357 Fri, 10 May 2013 06:04:21 +0000 goldenpig 929357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great new sandals! You have a fab collection. Love the green Poetic License pumps!<br /><br />Although I'm going to miss those London Fly black sandals on you! (What size shoe do you wear?)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929350 Fri, 10 May 2013 05:51:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 929350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your new sandals and oxfords! Really fab choices, and I'm glad they're comfy. I wonder if Angie's wet-foot trick would help with the oxfords on the part where you feel the cutouts; maybe that would mold them to your feet for that last bit of comfort.<br />What I think I don't see is a flat pair of sandals. (can't really see the heels) Do you need or want any?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929349 Fri, 10 May 2013 05:50:05 +0000 AJ 929349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good choices!&nbsp; Envious of the organization in your closet.&nbsp; <br /><br />I'm also looking for&nbsp;a pair of Sci-fi shoes.&nbsp; Look forward to seeing what you find. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929347 Fri, 10 May 2013 05:41:53 +0000 Jenava 929347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Loving those sandals! &nbsp;Looks like you're ready for summer... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929345 Fri, 10 May 2013 05:34:24 +0000 rae 929345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, there is change in the air here on YLF!

They look amazing. Should I order 6.5. or 7?<br /><br />Where are your Boutique 9s? Did you purge those, too?&nbsp;<br /><br />Or did I just miss?&nbsp;<br /><br />Love your decision making process here!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929291 Fri, 10 May 2013 03:53:58 +0000 Anonymous 929291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If there's a hole it might be for animal print sandals.

Both new pairs of shoes are an 11 out of 10, Shannon. Cheers to happy feet and knees :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929285 Fri, 10 May 2013 03:32:34 +0000 Transcona Shannon 929285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thistle - I know you've had your own sore feet issues and can completely relate. I'm soooooo past having lovely shoes that just hurt.<br /><br />Rachy - hmmmmmm...more intriguing...I like that https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929283 Fri, 10 May 2013 03:22:54 +0000 Thistle 929283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So organized and together what with having pictures and all. Fab choices! I second comfort first then fashion. Hard to look and feel fab when you are in pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929278 Fri, 10 May 2013 03:17:33 +0000 rachylou 929278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dang your shoes are so neatly stored! Your new ones are super excellent. They seem both simpler yet more intriguing compared to the ones you're giving away.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-old-new-an-aha-moment#post-929226 Fri, 10 May 2013 02:19:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 929226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I bought a new pair of sandals today and my white Dolce Vita cut-out oxfords arrived in the mail today. So I completed my shoe/sandal inventory and this is what I've come up with.<br /><br />The new Blondo sandals (pic 1) are gorgeous and extremely comfortable. They will take a tiny bit of getting used to because I'm not used to this type of back on a sandal but other than that, fabulous. I think the combination of the dark cognac and the bone colour coupled with the style make them extremely versatile.&nbsp;<br /><br />The Dolce Vita oxfords (pic 2 &amp; 3)&nbsp;are not white, but a bone colour, which I actually prefer. I think that makes them a little easier to style with my wardrobe. Love the heel height and the longer toe. They are a nice wide shoe which fit positively perfectly. I have a slight worry about the way they rub on one spot on both shoes - I can feel the cut outs a bit. But I've already found the more I walk around the house with them, the softer they are getting. I believe they will be fab as well.<br /><br />Both of the new items of footwear will be great and useful additions to my spring/summer shoe wardrobe.<br /><br />Pic #4 is what I'm purging. I'm sad because I really love most of these but they are NOT comfortable either for my knee or for my foot and I'm choosing to have comfy feet over the look of a sandal.&nbsp;<br /><br />My "aha" moment was noticing the sandals I'm purging are all chunkier with bigger and higher heels (or wedges) and are more colourful than what I'm keeping. As Angie had predicted when I bought my black kitten heel pointy toe pumps, I seem to be heading into more refined footwear. I wonder if this will change my style at all?<br /><br />Pics #5-10 are what I now have in my closet for spring/summer. &nbsp;I think I might want one pair of colourful or silver/metallic sandals. Do you see any sandal holes?<br /><br />If you got this far, thanks for looking and reading :)<br /><br />P.S. pardon the bits of fluff on my floor in pics 1-3 - the kitty cats were playing with a piece of rope and there's bits of it EVERYWHERE!
