And you styled them beautifully, love the color repetition in the shirt, and your hair looks fabulous, again!  Other outfit os also gorgeous-love your outfits, please post again (window shopping also good:-)).

And a great outfit overall. I do not know what will evolve for “ dressy- er “ footwear for me. Have such issues with toebox. Many fashion sneakers seem too “ flat” at the tip of the toe. I thought I would always keep some type of ballet flat in the lineup, but now I’m not so sure.

I kind of forgot that when I threw on the scarf for warmth on a cool morning!  It probably works okay because I have short hair and a long-ish neck and because the colours really harmonized/ blended.  Lisa -- right? It seems silly to worry about it but at the same time, this is our daily lives/ comfort we are talking about and the less we go out, the more important it is to feel good in our at-home wear yet also be practical about it.  Chris987 on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1/page/2#post-2144592 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 14:34:40 +0000 Chris987 2144592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your shoes - perfect combination of "works for at home wearing" and a polished style, not to mention how great they look with that plaid shirt. It's so good to have a defined color palette!  I'm also pretty amazed at how good you look with a scarf AND a mask....that look feels overwhelming on me but maybe it works for you because your hair is shorter.   Anonymous on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1/page/2#post-2144548 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 03:45:43 +0000 Anonymous 2144548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can’t figure out what to wear indoors on my feet either . Many slippers are too hot , heavy socks are messy and schlumpy looking , neverminf slippery on hardwood floors , but it also seems weird to be sitting on the couch watching tv wearing Birkenstocks or other such shoes . Big first world problems . Jaime on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1/page/2#post-2144532 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 03:09:03 +0000 Jaime 2144532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the plaid Rails shirt on you. You look positively dashing going out and about. And great find with the shoes. I stumbled upon (thrifted) a pair of El Naturalista slides and they are competing with my Birks as my most worn house shoe. In Israel hot desert storms, which turn the air yellow, are almost always followed by rain. I hope Mother Nature cooperates with you with this human made storm. Suz on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1/page/2#post-2144529 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 02:53:57 +0000 Suz 2144529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep. I know -- weird, right, Lisa? But the Ecco site and the shoe box say leather.  I wear Fitflop sandals as my house shoes and my "suburban walk" sandals all summer and I swear to all the gods they have saved my feet. I wish the shoes were narrower, but I am experimenting again with a few style in a half size down to see if they will work. The clogs are intended as a house shoe (with socks in winter). I'm trying to get really specific about what I wear indoors and what out, because we have pale maple floors, a mucky suburb, and it just makes sense. BUT, most slippers do not offer enough support for me, or else they are "too darn hot" as Ella Fitzgerald might say -- my feet get very uncomfortable. Hence my search for easy on, easy off house shoes that are also either fun and whimsical or pretty or (dare I hope??) cool -- or at minimum, not schlumpy. . This could be its own thread, so I might go there in a day or two.   Anonymous on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144515 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 01:21:58 +0000 Anonymous 2144515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The amazon description says the Eccos are synthetic - and I did think that was odd I had a pair of really nice suede Fit Flop sandals several years ago and quite liked them for exactly the reasons you mention . I got them from the locw rep at that time and was happy to have them . I’ve never looked at them since but those clogs are the cutest things ever ! Suz on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144512 Thu, 17 Sep 2020 00:08:49 +0000 Suz 2144512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Angie -- I always get the two mixed up. So yes - although they are connected. Anyway...I'm wearing the shoes and so far they are working pretty well! Yay!  We had skies like yours today again. Slightly better, but not great. At least I felt like I could go out for a walk.  Sterling -- thank you! They also look good with my new RM-thanks-to-Sterling bag. :)  Sharan, thank you! I am really liking my Olivia jeans. I almost donated them last winter because weight gain had made them uncomfortable, but I've lost the weight and now they are very comfortable indeed.  Cardiff Girl, I hope the smoke does not blow your way. You had your fill with the wet spring -- we can only stand so many weather disasters in one place, right?  Anonymous on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144501 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 22:21:35 +0000 Anonymous 2144501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the shoes on you, Suz.  They look luxuriously rich and coordinate great with your new Rails shirt.  Well done.   Angie on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144497 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 21:46:58 +0000 Angie 2144497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ (pssssst, you mean arch - not instep!

So glad the house shoes are working, and they are adorable. What a gorgeous color, and perfect with your plaid shirt. Which looks amazing on you! I also have to say, you wear those high-waisted jeans sooo well! I'm hoping the stress eases for you, and that the fires and smoke get under control very soon, for all of us. Cardiff girl on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144451 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 17:56:46 +0000 Cardiff girl 2144451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can’t get over all these photos of the smoke,so scary. Those shoes  are a lovely colour and so complementary to your wardrobe and hair colour. Angie on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144449 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 17:50:01 +0000 Angie 2144449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz, we had a bit of rain - but didn't do much. A GLIMPSE of the water today Suz on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144421 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:56:24 +0000 Suz 2144421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Angie -- you didn't get rain yet?? Oh, I'm holding out hope for you soon.  Mary, it's spooky, isn't it? SO weird. Hard to explain it... Suz on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144419 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:54:50 +0000 Suz 2144419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Still smoky today but it rained so the air smells a bit better at least -- and we can hope it is helping to the south where the fires are.  LisaP -- I order my Fitflops from Fitflop Canada. I buy so many of the darn things -- seriously -- they may not be the most fashionable thing in the world but they save my plantar fasciitis so I wear them to the ground. The sandals work better for me (so far) -- but I'm trying a clog, a rainboot, and a walking sneaker now, too, just to see if they work. I did have one sneaker from them before that was too wide for me, alas, so I'm a bit hesitant.  My Ecco Anine is not synthetic but real suede. At least that's what the Ecco web site claims... Nemosmom -- I do have the sneakers. Actually, several kinds of Ecco sneakers. It is one brand I can pretty much rely on . But, as with any fashion sneaker, I need an insole -- superfeet, something to add support to the shoe. I can't wear complete flats without the kind of pain that some women report from heels. With an insole, I'm good for all day in the 7s, though.  MsMary on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144417 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:54:27 +0000 MsMary 2144417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fab, Suz! I bought that same shirt and can't wait for the weather to cooperate so I can wear it! And we are smoky skies twins, too! Angie on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144416 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:50:32 +0000 Angie 2144416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay! So glad the new house shoes worked out! They look KILLER. And are a sublime match with the cute new NAS shirt! Fun to see you in a slip-on shoe :) I couldn’t stand wearing slippers all the time at home either. Creating a “house shoe only” capsule was the best style decision I made this year. You look signature beautiful Suz in your blazer, tee and draped arty scarf. Love it! As for our uncontrollable fires, smoke, and very bad air quality - rain in two days. I have never wanted it to rain so badly in my life. Sorry things are tricky at home. Sending healing thoughts and much love.

I'm not a Rails plaid shirt fan, but those colours are so pretty for you. I can appreciate the softness factor too. And - your smoke was creating a haze over Winnipeg last night too - so, so scary..... nemosmom on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144396 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 15:12:38 +0000 nemosmom 2144396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fab, Suz! I absolutely the direction your color palette has gone with the new berry shades.  Curious, do you also have the Ecco sneakers?  The sneakers don't work for my feet, but I wonder about the flats. I have also been looking for an option with support for home. JAileen on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144384 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 14:41:43 +0000 JAileen 2144384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The new shirt looks great on you, and the new shoes look good, too. Our air looks the same - unhealthy for all.  My new obsession is checking the AQI.  We’ve been staying inside and it’s depressing.   Helena on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144376 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 14:18:54 +0000 Helena 2144376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Super-cute Suz, and raspberry is so lovely on you!

Love these colors on you, and the shoes with the plaid are beautifully matchy. Hazy sky here in Michigan too - these are strange days. Laurie on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144366 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 13:39:10 +0000 Laurie 2144366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab as always, Suz. I'm with you on needing at least a small heel on a flat (does that even make sense?!) Love that shoe on you. Everything else is great too. Janet - was JUST noticing our mutual local sky, and thinking the same thing. Janet on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144353 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 12:57:28 +0000 Janet 2144353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great color for you! And I know the difficulty of finding slip-on shoes that don't slip off the heel. I would love one of those Rails shirts, but none of the color schemes really rocked my boat. Yours looks perfect on you. Nice to see you!  Weirdly enough, the sun looks like this at sunrise and sunset here the last couple of days, all the way on the east coast. Sobering.  Brooklyn on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144350 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 11:27:09 +0000 Brooklyn 2144350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow Suz. You look stunning. Love the shirt. *Starts thinking maybe I could wear that sort of neckline too...* I’m sorry about the smoke. We had a similar experience last summer. So much to be anxious about this year.

I took my usual 37 in Ecco shoes. I will look out for those arch supports. I remember i had a pair in a wedge open vamp shoe a few years ago and it did offer some help. And thank you for your kind words.  Slim Cat -- thank you. And it always surprises me that so few people complain of this issue with flats. It is some comfort to know I am not the only one -- one of the benefits of this forum.  rachylou on "WIB and WIW" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-and-wiw-1#post-2144333 Wed, 16 Sep 2020 05:11:25 +0000 rachylou 2144333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That *is* a good looking shoe! Great match with the shirt. And go Carla!
