So fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268867 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 03:07:00 +0000 MsLuna 1268867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Firecracker: yes! Clarks, for instance, just don't cut it for me when it comes to comfort. Naots are hit or miss too, depending on the heel height. I guess it's a matter of trial and error. I just wish we didn't have to make expensive mistakes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268863 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 03:02:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1268863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is great, and you do look fabulous in it. Sorry about your foot pain. I am now dealing with plantar fasciitis, which can be pretty painful the latter part of a long day on my feet. I have to wear shoes with good arch support, and a little bit of heel actually helps with my symptoms. So interesting how not all "comfort" shoes are good for all symptoms, right?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268832 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:32:29 +0000 MsLuna 1268832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any yes! Try them! They also have styles with Rocker soles (I believe it's the Maya), if you're interested in that! Their footbed is super comfy! Great to wear once in a while when you need a lift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268813 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:14:48 +0000 amiable 1268813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may have convinced me to give Aravons a try - they look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268800 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 02:04:56 +0000 MsLuna 1268800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all :)</p> <p>@Gigi: I can definitely wear the Aravons. I just have to limit them to a weekly basis as opposed to daily, the shoes have amazing arch support and are incredibly comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268787 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:58:22 +0000 Gigi 1268787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very sorry about the arthritis too. I hope you can still wear the Aravons on occasion. Maybe just not for such a long stretch at a time?</p> <p>The dress looks awesome on you! And I love how you paired it with the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268775 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:51:51 +0000 Jaime 1268775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about your feet/arthritis but agree completely that you looked fab while you were in pain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268770 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:49:40 +0000 NancyT 1268770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regardless, you DO look terrific!</p> <p>Have you heard of this site?

I empathize...my feet have always been the most difficult part of me to dress for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268718 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:06:23 +0000 MsLuna 1268718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>@Dee, any brands you can recommend for shoes? I've spent so much $$$ already with absolutely no luck the Aravons I often wear are FANTASTIC, but not for daily wear :(</p> <p>80% of flats kill my feet too due to being flat footed. Shame, because I've been lusting over a lot of pointy toed flats and d'orsays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268713 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 01:02:51 +0000 Dee 1268713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain - literally! I also have arthritis and had to give up heels earlier than expected. There are nice flats out there, but it does take more work I hope you're feeling better soon, and I love your vest. It's so versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268712 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:59:05 +0000 Kristin L 1268712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eek! I'm sorry your feet are giving you such problems. I think the vest and dress look great together!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0603-fussy-footed-fabness#post-1268705 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 00:45:42 +0000 MsLuna 1268705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realized that I was running out of ideas in my now 22 piece wardrobe. Initially, I pulled out my Maggy London wrap dress but today was just so humid and sticky that I didn't want to wear sleeves</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-professional-workshop-long" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....kshop-long</a></p> <p>And then I realized - ALL my dresses are made of synthetic, not-so breatheable fibres. I got frustrated and just pulled out the trusty cobalt dress because it was still light yet had that narrow skirt silhouette and flattering drape. I grabbed my moto vest and Aravon heels and I was out the door. </p> <p>All was well until my coffee break at work. I got up my desk and all joints on the base of my toes felt like they locked up and I was in pain. Arthritis attacked me right then and there. I don't often get days like this as my arthritis is still mild (according to my doctor) but the message it sent is this: my 2 inch Aravons, despite it's comfort may be too high. I need to take my foot health more seriously!</p> <p>The rest of my day is coloured by the pain I felt. I was cranky. I was limping. Ugh! I'm frustrated by my feet, my shoe options and how it will affect my style. I'll talk about this on another thread.</p> <p>Why this outfit is awesome:<br /> - comfy (makes dealing with a nasty arthritis attack easier)<br /> - vibrant<br /> - a little bit RATE<br /> - I still look fab while I was in pain</p> <p>What don't i like?<br /> - arthritis. Oh wait, that's not part of my outfit? :)</p> <p>Items:<br /> Dress: Calvin Klein<br /> Vest: W118 by Walter Baker<br /> Shoes: Aravon (which was later switched to Crocs as soon as my arthritis hit)</p> <p>ETA: see my cat's squishy belly in the picture? &lt;3 </p>
