Best to keep well balanced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516439 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 20:25:35 +0000 unfrumped 1516439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, it's after the fact, which is a good thing , because to me&nbsp;both of these are&nbsp; a lot of bare foot for a work presentation. I love the top and skirt, though.&nbsp; &nbsp;But since you know your audience and environment, I will defer to that. Also, I do know how tricky it can be to find good, non-corporate, but non-drudgy or schtumpifying footwear--that's the bane of my skirt-outfit creation existence. Pants are so much easier but I keep plugging away with the pencil skirt outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516370 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:16:05 +0000 Beth Ann 1516370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bwuahaha, "creative with facial hair."&nbsp; Love both versions of your outfit -- professional, but still interesting and fresh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516367 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:12:28 +0000 rachylou 1516367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late but *I approve your pick.* Lol. #1 is funkier, more interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516347 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:50:51 +0000 jackiec 1516347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you made a good choice - but love both options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516340 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:35:43 +0000 Astrid 1516340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear the first pair worked out for you! I agree, definitely give outfit #2 an outing sometime soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516311 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:02:47 +0000 rute 1516311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for 2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516309 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 15:59:57 +0000 penelope2831 1516309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definily number 2, more elegants and better for a proffesional presentation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516308 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 15:59:47 +0000 Maneera 1516308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to hear you felt good with your choice and it worked out for the better. I know just what you mean about doing a presentation for a predominantly all-male audience. The 2nd look definitely deserves an outing! </p> <p>PS: Shorts for a presentation?! That's way too casual, though not unheard of in design, right?! Now the creative use of facial hair is a whole other story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516303 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 15:50:41 +0000 approprio 1516303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for the feedback ladies! </p> <p>In the end the first pair felt like the right choice.&nbsp;I agree that the second pair look that little bit more polished, but they might have been too much distraction for an exclusively male audience who were very casually dressed (at least two were in shorts and there was some very creative use of facial hair.)</p> <p>Still, the second look may yet get an outing. It's fun to be that fiercely ladylike sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516240 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 14:17:39 +0000 viva 1516240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think either would have worked really well fashion-wise, and grounded vs confident is a VERY tough call. Hope it all worked out fabulously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516234 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 14:14:01 +0000 Angie 1516234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #2 - but you're fab either way. Good luck with the presentation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516217 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:45:45 +0000 Sara L. 1516217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love both pairs.&nbsp; I like your choice of #1 but you couldn't go wrong with either pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516203 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:23:27 +0000 Anonymous 1516203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess too late - but I vote for the first pair. The lacey vibe of the shoe works with all of the embroidery (more lace-like effect) on the top..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516200 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 13:11:45 +0000 Janet 1516200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally torn. Love the detail of the first but also the cleaner line of the second. I really do think they both work well with the outfit, just depends on your mood. The good thing is, you can't go wrong with either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516191 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 12:38:48 +0000 Anonymous 1516191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look good to me. You look wonderful and confident in your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516162 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:34:18 +0000 Astrid 1516162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck. I'm sure you are going to do well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516159 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:29:56 +0000 approprio 1516159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much everyone! I'm taking Astrid's advice and going with the first pair because I need to be focused on my story and ready for audience feedback. I'll save the second look for a sales pitch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516149 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:04:05 +0000 Astrid 1516149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote the first pair. I think grounded is good for giving a presentation. Bonus points for meshing more with the audience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516148 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:02:25 +0000 Jeweled 1516148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look great, and I love the outfit!&nbsp; I'd pick the confident shoes.&nbsp; Because how you feel gives your entire presence that extra je ne sais quoi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516147 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:01:11 +0000 Anonymous 1516147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cross posted with RG and we picked the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516146 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:00:43 +0000 Maneera 1516146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 with its clean, minimalistic lines. It makes your outfit more polished. You do look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516145 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 11:00:34 +0000 Anonymous 1516145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, crumbs! This is tricky. I love them both. I think, I'm going to say #2 as I think it's confidence that would count in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516144 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:58:49 +0000 retailgirl 1516144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, maybe number two a little bit more. If they make you feel more confident, then those would be my pick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/urgent-which-shoes#post-1516143 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 10:56:12 +0000 approprio 1516143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabulous!</p> <p>I'm off to do a presentation to an audience of academics this afternoon. I know a couple of them and by and large they are fairly casual, so I think more or less anything goes but I'd still like to make a positive impression.</p> <p>Here's what I'm wearing, but I can't decide on the shoes. The first pair feel very grounded and perhaps more appropriate to the audience. The second make me feel confident and maybe work better with the outfit. I'd be differently comfortable in either of them, so now it's up to you.</p> <p>(And you can't see in the photo, but the skirt is a kind of cobwebby lace.)</p> <p>Which do you prefer? Halp!</p>
