I just ordered some things.</p> <p>I ended up stopping at LOFT to try as much as I could on. Ended up getting:</p> <p>-the pencil skirt in black and in khaki (the white didn't look right, and actually I got the two skirts in different sizes because they fit differently)<br /> -the coral top (the color is AMAZING with my skin tone)<br /> -some scoop-neck t-shirts (they were having a BOGO sale, and I don't even have a white or a black t-shirt! tragic)<br /> -white short-sleeved jacket, lined and fitted (in the sale rack, not even on the website anymore)</p> <p>They only had the sandals in black in my size, so I tried those, and only medium vests in plain white or black. I also tried on the linen skirt in tan, and realized it was much too short for work. Dang! So I came home and ordered the vest in a large and the sandals in cognac.</p> <p>The suede shoes I think I am passing on; as Alecia said, there may only be a very short window of a few weeks where they would be appropriate, and that's not worth the effort. I did find a killer pair of pinstripe fabric peeptoes with a thin 3" heel at Famous Footwear, which I wore today. They're not nearly as comfy as most of my other heels, but they will do for occasional shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71264 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 01:31:49 +0000 Vani 71264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristen, I have no concept of seasonal textures so I'm completely useless, LOL But I can't wait to see the summer outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71229 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:39:30 +0000 cciele 71229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can wear suede shoes in the summer, depending on the style and the climate. For example, I could wear those shoes where I live, since the average summer temp is like 71 deg F. Or sandals like these are fun:<br /> <a href="http://www.freepeople.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/products.detail/productID/e7fd4a09-8636-4c1c-9bbb-2bad9e569e0d/categoryID/eb344a5e-2eb4-44f2-9bd1-39502a8fe6d1?cm_mmc=Performics-_-Affiliates-_-stylehive.com-_-Primary" rel="nofollow">http://www.freepeople.com/inde.....-_-Primary</a></p> <p>Out of all the ATL clothes you posted, I like the blue skirt the best. What a great style and wonderful for summer. Your outfit seems like it would be a hit too -- go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71174 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:58:37 +0000 Inge 71174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>- Suede shoes: I'm always wondering about that too Kristen. They do seem to have an Autumny vibe to them. Curious to hear what the others think.</p> <p>- Khaki pants: oops, they're not available anymore? Personally I'm not a big fan of this colour, I prefer the white ones in the picture on the right. In my experience you can only wear them with tops tucked in (the belt creates a bulge otherwise), so that's something you need to consider too.</p> <p>- Linen skirt: that is indeed a beautiful colour!! Lovely skirt. Same remark about the belt as above (as long as your fine with that - you have the figure for it! - this will be a great skirt)</p> <p>- White pencil skirt: yes!!<br /> - Tee in coral: yes!<br /> - Micro stripe vest: absolutely!!<br /> - Sandals: uh huh!!<br /> Let's see that outfit asap!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71172 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:46:19 +0000 Anonymous 71172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have suede peep-toe wedges for summer (in purple!) and I love them - I don't think the material is too hot, it actually breathes fairly well in my opinion. Cute outfit - snatch it up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71084 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:30:19 +0000 Alecia 71084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never understand shoes like those, either. I have some suede peeptoes. I do LOVE them (red with black contrast stitching) but really only feel like I can wear them a few weeks a year because of the combination of peeptoe and suede. I think you're on the right track by passing on them.</p> <p>I love the outfit you've put together. That vest is FUN and we haven't seen you in one that I can remember.</p> <p>I caution on those pants with the tie. I have some like that and they're kind of awkward because you kind of have to tuck the shirt because of the tie. That can get tricky. I've found them a very casual pant. </p> <p>The skirt would be better, I think. Skirts are better for tucking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71071 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 14:10:16 +0000 Kristen 71071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, peeptoe in the fall in Chicago isn't appropriate, either. The shoes are such a strange combination, they're really not appropriate for ANY season: the suede makes them wrong for summer, and the style is wrong for fall. I think I should pass, and hope that soon I will find the same style in a better fabric. Darn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71021 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 11:41:56 +0000 rute 71021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely findings!<br /> The suede is too hot for the summer and the fact that those shoes are black make it more apropriate for the spring or autumn. I would buy it and keep it for the autumn.<br /> The vest is lovely and so fashionable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/suede-in-summer-and-other-purchase-indecisions#post-71014 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 11:23:40 +0000 Kristen 71014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just found the perfect pair of peeptoe wedges that I know I would get miles of usage out of for work, in exactly the shape and style I have been looking for and not seeing anywhere.</p> <p>The problem is they are suede, which just seems SO WRONG for summer! What do you guys think?</p> <p><a href="http://www.jildorshoes.com/product.cfm/hurl/Bamba_Black_Suede/PI=40071" rel="nofollow">http://www.jildorshoes.com/pro.....e/PI=40071</a></p> <p>I am also contemplating picking up a bunch of skirts and pants, and one cute whole outfit at ATL. All are on sale, and I do have two of those $25 off coupons to use. I may try to stop by the store to get them, but online might be more of a sure thing in my size. Thoughts?</p> <p>Wide-legged linen khaki pants, love how breezy and summery they are:<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19200&#038;categoryId=null&#038;pCategoryId=null&#038;productVariantId=162436&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=c2c2cfc3c0a8657e62081e7d4448748f&#038;sizeType=Misses&#038;color=Boardwalk%20Beige&#038;size=10" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....38;size=10</a></p> <p>Linen Tie-Waist Skirt, in a deep blue that is fast becoming my favorite neutral:<br /> <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19199&#038;categoryId=210&#038;pCategoryId=null&#038;productVariantId=162425&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=c2c21949c0a8657e62081e7d1c759edb&#038;sizeType=Misses&#038;color=Deep%20Blue&#038;size=10" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....38;size=10</a></p> <p>The outfit:<br /> White pencil skirt: <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18244&#038;categoryId=270&#038;pCategoryId=null&#038;productVariantId=155798&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=bd7ceb76c0a865697a273a7b829e4174&#038;sizeType=Misses&#038;color=White&#038;size=10" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....38;size=10</a><br /> Crochet Trim Jersey Tee, in coral: <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=18840&#038;categoryId=270&#038;pCategoryId=null&#038;productVariantId=159563&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=c2b7f2aac0a8657e62081e7d495563fe&#038;sizeType=Misses&#038;color=Calypso%20Coral&#038;size=Medium" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ize=Medium</a><br /> Micro Stripe Vest (my first in many years!): <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19088&#038;categoryId=205&#038;pCategoryId=null&#038;productVariantId=161598&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=c2b94e3ac0a8657e62081e7ddf0b17d9&#038;sizeType=Misses&#038;color=Black&#038;size=Medium" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....ize=Medium</a><br /> Multi-Strand t-strap sandals, in cognac: <a href="http://www.anntaylorloft.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=19397&#038;categoryId=270&#038;pCategoryId=null&#038;productVariantId=164030&#038;quantity=1&#038;itemGUID=bd7acc4ec0a865697a273a7b370a956b&#038;sizeType=Misses&#038;color=Cognac&#038;size=9" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylorloft.com/c.....038;size=9</a></p> <p>My finger is itching over the Checkout button.
