Last year i got these top pick waterproof sneakers, and i have 3 other navy outwear pieces for different weather conditions...might need to add some additional tan... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148941 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 07:29:35 +0000 Jane 2148941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sneakers are so cute and the cuffs looks very warm! Maybe your eye will adjust to the design. The loafers are so stylish and the coat is super, the detailing really makes it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148939 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 05:59:09 +0000 Anonymous 2148939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your choices, especially the blue loafers and am thinking I should consider some as they would be far away from my face. I like blue and it is my color for this year but it is just too cool a tone for my skin except some navy’s and icy pale blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148937 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 05:26:17 +0000 Liesbeth 2148937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great items! I think you're set for staying active through winter, though I definitely agree mustering up the courage to go for a walk past dark (at 5 pm) is a chzllenge.<br /> Love those loafers. Good that you bit that bullet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148936 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 04:34:51 +0000 CarolS 2148936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>those loafers are gorgeous!

Those blue metallic boots are especially great and such a wonderful alternative to the ubiquitous black . Well done ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148917 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 01:38:35 +0000 LaPed 2148917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That wool hoodie looks great, and paired with the shearling boots it could be the start of a "blue outdoorsy" capsule (with camel/tan accents, like the gloves?). I'm pretty tempted by the plum version of those boots... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148916 Sun, 18 Oct 2020 01:33:39 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2148916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love the blue shearling boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148904 Sat, 17 Oct 2020 23:30:24 +0000 Carla 2148904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;What lovely additions to your WFH wardrobe. &nbsp;The blue footwear is such an elevated look! &nbsp;❤️ You’ve been very careful with your purchases. &nbsp;Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148899 Sat, 17 Oct 2020 21:27:29 +0000 kellygirl 2148899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hurray for blue! That jacket ticks all the boxes for me. Great length, color, pockets and interesting detailing. Sporty and stylish! Of course, I love the boots. They're metallic, streamlined and look super comfy! Love.&nbsp; And those loafers--yum. My husband has some M.Gemi sneakers and he loves them. Their finishes are so luxe. Great haul! Too bad the sneakers didn't work out but there are so many white options out there I'm sure you will find something. It's fab to see you by the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-pandemic-practical-mostly#post-2148888 Sat, 17 Oct 2020 20:25:08 +0000 kkards 2148888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, let me be honest, my world has gotten really small, I’m still WFH and that doesn’t look like its going to change soon. My office has officially reopened, but...its voluntarily if you want to go in, and pretty much no one is (i had to go in 1 day to clean out the desk of someone who worked for me and was let go, and once i got past security, i saw 2 people all day).<br />with winter coming, I’m concerned that I’ll look for, and find excuses, not to go out...so I’m trying to get gear adjacent stuff, you know, weather friendly stuff that works like gear, but doesn’t necessarily look like gear...<br />so, 1st up, a jacket for the days that its cold enough that my transitional jackets aren’t quite enough, but its not cold enough for my puffers, i have a great JCrew &nbsp;boiled wool coat that works for “normal” times, but isn’t really great for walking the neighborhood. Googled and found this wool jacket, its got a 2 way zipper, deep pockets, covers the butt, and has reflective details for walking after dark. Its a 9.5, its would be a 10 if it had thumb holds, and was slightly darker. Its a keeper<br />needed to replace my gloves, last years pair has disappeared. I would have loved a made to order gloves, (i have oddly short fingers, especially my thumbs), but i have a tendency to lose gloves, so didn’t want to spend the $. But i was excited to find this made in America, small company, which fits my goal of buying more ethically &nbsp;made items. They are a little tight, but the company says that they will stretch to fit (like a good pair of shoes).<br />the blue boots, i ordered because they were blue, but was sure i was going to laugh and then return, i mean they look kind of, well, metallic and not in a good way. But, they came, they are so well made, and so much better looking in person. i love them!&nbsp;<br />The Blondo waterproof sneakers, love the color, the fit and the shoe, not so much. I found the leather to be cheap looking (it was wrinkled and very thin) and TMI, they made my feet sweat...these went back, but i may look for white water proof boots.<br />and finally, the not pandemic practical shoe...what can i say, i feel like a loafer is a pretty classical style, and that in a year or so, when life returns to something more normal, these will be a workhorse for me. I’ve had my eye on this pair for a while, and they went on a huge sale, so i went for it.</p> <p>if you’ve gotten this far, thanks for reading.&nbsp;<br />As always all thoughts, comments, suggestions are welcome and appreciated. <br />And if you have any ideas about gear(ish) stuff that will help me stay active a winter comes, please share </p>
