I finally took some jeans and pants for hemming, $$$, when in theory I could do it myself , but how much better they feel to wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off/page/2#post-1717287 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 02:00:37 +0000 Nishaa 1717287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GORGEOUS SANDALS....<br /> I'm in love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off/page/2#post-1717266 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 00:37:47 +0000 cheryl 1717266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. Love the sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off/page/2#post-1717255 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 00:10:54 +0000 Susie 1717255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I set things aside that need minor repairs, thinking I will do them but sewing is not my forte and I never do. I end up taking them to the seamstress at the dry cleaner and am always happy to get them back in to rotation. </p> <p>Those sandals look like they were made for you; great style and they look so nice on your foot. Thanks for sharing a new to me brand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off/page/2#post-1717232 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 22:09:25 +0000 elpgal 1717232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the inspiration- I dropped off 3 tops at the tailor for alterations. $60! Ouch! But better than them sitting unworn or worn unhappily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off/page/2#post-1717144 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 17:05:45 +0000 Jenn 1717144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have never thought to take my clothes to the dry cleaner for minor repairs, but now that I'm trying to invest in better pieces, I think that's a brilliant strategy and will adopt it, for sure.</p> <p>I empathize with your "foot bump." I have one, too, as the result of an old injury, and it does make certain shoes more difficult to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off/page/2#post-1716994 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 02:00:15 +0000 Jaime 1716994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sandals were made for you. Check out Vialis too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716993 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 01:48:41 +0000 Greyscale 1716993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and I bought the sandals from&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://buloshoes.com/">https://buloshoes.com/</a></p> <p>which is a local store with really excellent selection for that category of shoes (similar to Ped Shoes). They sell online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716985 Sun, 21 Aug 2016 01:23:46 +0000 Greyscale 1716985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - ooh, I think I've come across pedshoes while googling, but I'd forgotten about it.</p> <p>Viva - it's actually my office (different angle than usual) which really needed some bright colors to liven up an old institutional-looking room.</p> <p>Approprio - I never thought of it, but you're right, they're in the same vein as Trippen. I like Trippen better for the most part, because Cydwoq shoes are usually a little more feminine than my taste, but these are perfect for me.<br />&nbsp;<br />La Belle - The toe loop is quite comfortable on me, but my foot weirdness affects the angle of my toes too, so I don't know if they're comfortable on all feet. But when I bought them, another customer in the shop said she had them and they were her most comfortable shoes. I can walk for quite a ways in them, now that I've adjusted to them, but I haven't happened to go further than a mile in them yet. I believe they'll be good city tourist shoes, even on cobblestones (that was my goal in buying them).</p> <p>Deborah - thanks, I'm so flattered!</p> <p>Suz - I'd say my feet are pretty and weird at the same time! And actually the high arch is good for Irish dance (my sport of choice) but it's definitely a 'deformity' from a podiatrist's perspective.&nbsp;</p> <p>Smittie and Chris - I wish I ever got around to doing the repairs myself, but I do try to keep things as long as I can. I might start re-dying certain black clothes, too. I buy a lot of clothing but it's often consignment and a few little repairs can keep something going a lot longer. </p> <p>Ledonna - well, this might be my winter wardrobe - last month was colder than February, here in foggy San Francisco! My heat is on at night! But the sandals do go away in winter.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716919 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 22:21:41 +0000 Lyn D. 1716919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work, and your sandals look perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716908 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 20:22:10 +0000 Sal 1716908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome sandals, great outfit!!</p> <p>So worth it from every perspective to fix tired clothes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716903 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 20:12:27 +0000 Chris987 1716903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a great posting! Those sandals are really fab and your whole outfit is terrific. Love hearing that people actually get their clothes repaired....not everyone does these days!

I'm so not a mender, but really, really would like to work towards a more stable wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716890 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 18:51:38 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1716890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about your look, from the velvety richness of the black to how you styled your hair, and the toenail polish.</p> <p>I am intrigued by the sandals! &nbsp;So that across-the-big-toestrap doesn't pull down on the toe too much when you walk? &nbsp; Are these walk-all-day sandals? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716852 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 16:22:32 +0000 Suz 1716852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those sandals are fantastic for you!

You've just reminded me about the pile of jumpers I took to the cleaners last week. </p> <p>Note to self. Go collect. </p> <p>And cool sandals. I've always liked the look of Cydwoq, they look like the North American equivalent of Trippen.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716843 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 15:51:24 +0000 unfrumped 1716843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reminder to take care ov what you already know works. I ran up against that with putting together Sind mird polished ( no pun intended) work oufits and realized I was fretting about possible new items while my planned, and desired, footwear was overdue for a trip to the cobbler. It was such a relief to get that done!<br /> Sandals have a great minimal- architectural look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716823 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 14:37:30 +0000 Bonnie 1716823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How nice to have everything ready for fall.

It sounds like you practically have a new wardrobe. Those sandals are really great. I like that brand--the styles are so unusual and really appeal to me, and the comfort is great, if you get the right pair for your feet. I haven't bought any (yet), though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-maintenance-pays-off#post-1716711 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 04:55:12 +0000 catgirl 1716711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cydwok is an amazing brand.
