Bet you'd rock that look.</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, AGREED. Heels will never go away, but they are diminishing as a fashion statement.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Gigi</b>, you were right to wear heels with your jumpsuit. I have to, too. </p> <p><b>Rachy</b>, I think because stylist's want their celebs to look as tall as possible in photos. Same goes for bloggers. Height lengthens the leg lines and visually straightens curves. That's my guess.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, SOOO true. Once you're not in the habit of wearing heels - it's hard to go back.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>UmmLila,</b> they never went out of style.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Tanya,</b> you crack me up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820381 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 12:12:39 +0000 Gail 1820381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that flats are super fashionable . I find that I rarely wear any type of heel these days even a block 2 inch. I do think that some of my outfits look better with a heel but comfort is ruling for me in a big way. I have become very intolerant &nbsp;of fussy uncomfortable shoes or clothes., does this mean I'm getting old and crotchety ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820335 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 04:12:16 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1820335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I've been noticing the same thing--a lot of fun style in Seattle--and a lot that I want to emulate-- these days. When I first moved here, I was struck by the amount of fleece on the street. Not anymore. </p> <p>Waiting for the bus this evening, I noticed a not-tall woman wearing cropped wide-legged pants or culottes, about mid-calf, a short boxy top, and sneakers. A simple, casual, yet stylish looking outfit. And I thought: I could do that--I have comparable pieces--and moreover, I <i>want</i> to!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820329 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 03:08:10 +0000 Beth Ann 1820329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always imagined Seattle as full of casual fabness, and am glad to hear that y'all are pairing a bit of flair and polish with happy feet! &nbsp;Indy is the land of athleisure and flip flops, I'm afraid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820326 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 02:45:23 +0000 Jaime 1820326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I can't speak to Seattle, last time I was there I hung out with some of the most fashionable ladies there ! But the flats as fashion is music to my ears, and I do think heels are at a low ebb. I don't think they will ever disappear entirely - but I hope great flats continue to stand their own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820309 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 01:24:25 +0000 Gigi 1820309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a midi-length jumpsuit the other day and had to wear heels with it. I didn't have any block heels in a suitable color, so I wore my black stilettos. It felt a little strange, because I don't see anyone in stilettos anymore. Choice #2 was a pair of traditional black slingbacks, which seemed a little stuffy as well. The block heel seems to be king of footwear right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820160 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 13:37:11 +0000 Bijou 1820160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once you go flat, you can't go back! I cannot imagine myself buying very high heels again. Anything up to 2 inches is fine, but after that and I am not happy. So hoping that the low heel trend exists for a very long time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820099 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 07:59:09 +0000 Amy Isabella 1820099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Tanya's comments!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements/page/2#post-1820094 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 06:28:03 +0000 Jane 1820094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for the flats and trainers!

I am just living my loafers and other flats. </p> <p>I've been searching for a perfect black sneaker- hybrid but have not found " the one". I do not wear sneakers to work, but some others do, so if I find my perfect, low- profile ones, I may take advantage of the trend and wear on some Fridays and working weekends. I've identified that I love the elastic lace- slip on type ( not sure what to call them), as a cross between standard laces and the Vans - type plain slip on. I found a great Puma, but not in my size, and I can't seem to locate it on the web. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1820025 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 00:15:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1820025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a couple of articles on very trend-specific fashion sites about pointy-toe boots and pumps coming back.

Especially in colder weather.</p> <p>Joyce, no worries. The Cayennes are absolutely still in style. All my clients who have them - wear them. 2 inches qualifies as a low heel.&nbsp;</p> <p>Smittie, I have ONE pair of two inch heeled booties - "high heels" for me - that I kept to wear with my bell bottom jeans. Good strategy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, bloggers are still generally "heavy on the heels", although I don't know if they actually wear them in person, (or if it's just for the photos).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819991 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:00:21 +0000 Staysfit 1819991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to hear what's taking place on the west coast. When I was in Michigan last week athleisure ruled in an almost frightening way and I will be happy when the trend fades away. I am happy with most heel heights under 3.5 inches, so flats or heels are fine with me. Shoes make my wardrobe more interesting and are easy to change as fashion trends shift. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819976 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 22:14:00 +0000 lozz_oz 1819976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Music to my ears + feet!<br /> Although I'm only 157cm I've never been one to wear heels to compensate for a lack of height. I walk a lot and move fast - so heels have always been just for the occasional special event.<br /> Long live this trend for flats + comfort! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819974 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 22:10:08 +0000 Joyce B 1819974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would 2" heels qualify as low heels? To me they kind of would... And what to do with the lovely 3" heel PG Cayannes and such? I think I will wear all those in addition to the flats. I will not be really fashionable which will not be new to me but I love those shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819955 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 21:26:18 +0000 Greenjeans 1819955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smiling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819935 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 19:50:55 +0000 skylurker 1819935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great news, good riddance to athleisure and stilettos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819911 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 18:31:10 +0000 Beth 1819911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great news!

So glad that Seattle is becoming more fashionable. That is my hope for my town.<br /> I forget where I read this, but I think that it only takes a very small number of people to influence many.<br /> Maybe you're partly responsible for Seattle stepping it up!</p> <p>2. I agree that flatter footwear is more ins tyle. I ended up packing away my 3" stiletto heels (which work well with flares) because they felt a little awkward and perhaps a little dated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819893 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 17:19:23 +0000 Carla 1819893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week seems to mark a change in the fashion calendar!&nbsp; All of a sudden folks in the&nbsp;BIG CITY&nbsp;are wearing COLOUR!&nbsp; Also, seeing cropped trousers - however mainly looser flowing/gaucho styles.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819889 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 17:12:17 +0000 JuniperGreen 1819889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As fraught as the overall athleisure trend can be, I'm grateful for it since I think it's partly responsible for the popularity of fashion sneakers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-bold-statements#post-1819887 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 17:01:14 +0000 cherylm 1819887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess since comfortable and fashionable flats are easier to find, we can leave our hiking boots at home here in Seattle. This fall we need fashionable and functional rain coats so we can leave our gear coats at home too </p>
