As far as keeping the shoes vis-a-vis an imaginary lifestyle, I say that if the price is good, it is worth the experiment. Usually we are drawn to something different from what we normally wear for an emotional reason, so if you don't buy these booties, you might end up buying different ones that are similar but perhaps are less comfortable and more expensive. I think that something reasonably priced is well worth conducting an experiment. If things don't go well, you will have learned what you needed to know without investing too much money in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087672 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 02:38:36 +0000 Jaime 1087672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up for both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087634 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:52:00 +0000 Suz 1087634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you about narrow heels. I am a lot better with them than I used to be, and it really does depend on the individual shoe because some are just better balanced and it works better. I agree that the extra support of the higher vamp helps as well. These seem really promising.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087608 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:25:42 +0000 unfrumped 1087608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the enabling!</p> <p>Runcarla, that is so nice of you. I like the proportions.<br />Aleta and DonnaF, and Tricia: Thank you, and yes, I know these are itty bitty heels, not hardly making it into the heel category at all, but I can almost never&nbsp;spend any time&nbsp;in a "thin" heel (don't laugh at that one, either), let alone stride along at work, &nbsp;as opposed to a more chunky one. I'll do fine for awhile and then whoops, I teeter off of it. But these are somehow less so and the shootie style gives more support. Still not as likely to be a <u>regular</u> work shoe but there are some, and other occasions. So&nbsp; not imaginary, but kinda fringe, and this may be a do-able way to try that out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087577 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 00:27:13 +0000 LACeleste 1087577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;Super finds! &nbsp;I think you will wear shoes&nbsp;a lot if you are determined to. &nbsp;They look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087574 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 00:24:03 +0000 DonnaF 1087574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both on you!&nbsp; The camera angle makes it difficult to assess the shootie height.&nbsp; They look under 2".&nbsp; What makes you feel that they might be for an imaginary lifestyle?&nbsp; To my eye, they look very comfy and great for running around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087420 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 21:06:52 +0000 Carla 1087420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks amazing on you! Very, very stylish! (This is one of my favourite looks from your WIW posts). Liking the shooties style too and thinking you should give this look a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087413 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:59:03 +0000 Lyn D. 1087413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep x2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087400 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:42:13 +0000 Tricia 1087400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket, and I really like the shooties too. For me anyway, shoes would have to be a lot taller and/or fancier to qualify as "imaginary lifestyle"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087395 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:37:45 +0000 Aleta 1087395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the booties, definitely not in imaginary lifestyle territory. They are not too high, I am sure you will get alot of wear out of them, but then I am drawn to any shoes with a large buckle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087391 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:24:43 +0000 Astrid 1087391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes look fine to me, but I agree with Suz about seeing how you feel walking around in them. The jacket is a nice find for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087388 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 20:20:53 +0000 unfrumped 1087388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie. The jacket in faux eas not on my radar screen but seems right to use. </p> <p>Suz, pic 5 is with sheer dark hose. IF the shoes work with those, that would increase the types of occasions &amp; dresses I could experiment with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087341 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:05:54 +0000 Suz 1087341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for experiments! I think they both work really well. But try walking around the house in the shoes to see if they <b>FEEL</b> too gaping to you. There is a bit of room around the sides for sure....how does it look with sheer hose?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087340 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 19:00:46 +0000 Angie 1087340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shooties look great. Good job trying them on.</p> <p>I'm liking the jacket too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/unexpected-finds-faux-leather-jacket-and-modern-footwear-keep-and-kr#post-1087301 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 18:11:03 +0000 unfrumped 1087301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are 2 totally unexpected “finds”.</p> <p>#1-2 &nbsp;is a faux leather black bomber from TJMaxx. I have never found any real leather there or any faux I liked ever, and then there was this one jacket all by itself. I love it! I think&nbsp;that though faux, it works&nbsp;okay because is&nbsp;very&nbsp; &nbsp;smooth plain faux leather&nbsp; &nbsp;and minimal details.&nbsp;that feels soft . No illusions that it's leather, but&nbsp; &nbsp;it just feels great on,&nbsp; fits under winter coats, and at the price point is great for black, which I’ve noted is still a useful color for jackets but problematic &nbsp;for “investment.” &nbsp;So this is a keeper for me. Who knew?</p> <p>#3-6 –is for K/R advice: shoes for either my imaginary lifestyle or aspirational outfits. Usually I would not have given this type of heel a second look, much less tried on, but..I can walk in them!</p> <p>Here’s the question: do they look ill-fitting, meaning are they still too gappy and flower-potty ? My eye is conflicted, because I think it’s less noticeable in this shootie look than in an ankle bootie, and I really want the non-ankle height, because I like that look better with sheer hose especially, but of course I can still see the gapping. And, do they still look “modern”? Those are my main questions. </p> <p>&nbsp;If yes, I would keep&nbsp; as a fun experiment (discount store price) , because I really like how they give a different look from my usual footwear. Or you could try to convince me that even if they look okay, they are bordering on imaginary lifestyle and I should &nbsp;&nbsp;save the $$ for something almost like it but with a more chunky heel that I would be able to wear more often. But if your first impression is they need to fit better, then there wouldn't be a point to playing with them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
