I remember reading that flats aren't your favorite shoe but these are so perfect here. I love the simple silhouette and cool (on my screen) colors. Really, really nice! I was expecting to see your Mariners sweatshirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275791 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:56:16 +0000 Aida 1275791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mona! I have to say that the sneakers are actually a bit more comfortable than I'd&nbsp;expected (sneaker's aren't very comfortable for me), though if you have high arches and a high instep it may be a big snug along the top of the foot as it is with me. I've noticed that they&nbsp;are back in stock in this colorway&nbsp;*wink nudge* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275605 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 18:45:58 +0000 Mona 1275605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely colour combo! pastel and bright white. I want to buy these sneaks right away but I am trying to hold off. Hmmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275599 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 18:30:57 +0000 Aida 1275599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw thanks so much ladies! I was surprised at how good I felt in this outfit, despite wearing my least favorite style of shoe. I'm sooo thrilled to have found a sneaker that actually makes me <i>feel happy</i> to wear! They're about as comfortable as any other flat shoe is for me, which is only moderately, but that's perfectly fine.&nbsp;Don't think I'll be adding to the weekend capsule though, I'd like to keep these clean and fresh looking. So just the chambray Vans in the capsule, which is enough for now.</p> <p>Gigi, exactly! While I greatly value an interesting outfit, I also try to make it so the focus still draws the eyes up to my face. Vertical lines are nice (which is what the bookending nets us), but they are more of a secondary focus for me. I'm fairly outgoing, so in person I don't think it's much of an issue ;)</p> <p>Gracie, the sneakers are certainly not conventionally chunky, hence the "chunky", but believe me -- for me that sole is <i>quite</i> chunky!</p> <p>Mo, oh how fun!&nbsp;I bet those would be a great luxe slip-on for your current black/white graphic kick ^^</p> <p>Firecracker, the sweater body is a creamy tan and the sleeves a true cream.</p> <p>Neel, your nails look super! I don't see lumpy at all, and most people who look at your nails won't either so I wouldn't worry about it too much :)</p> <p>Merwoman, OOOH. Playful is a great thing for me to keep in mind with sportier looks, I think that's what I need to aim for in sporty outfits:&nbsp;a dose of luxe, a dose of pretty, and a dose of playful. Thank you!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275342 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:33:04 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1275342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great soft color palette with the geometric clutch as your accessory.

The silk sweater and gold earrings bookend nicely with your new sneaks.

Just my cuppa I love the gap sneekers with this. I also like the clutch and earrings which add your unique touches.

You look beautiful in pastels and whites! The shoes are really pretty and go very well with your style persona. Perfectly Aida Style Sporty Luxe with those pretty nails! </p> <p>(Psst .... I tried something yesterday with my nails inspired by you. But I didn't quite love the end result. Pretty lumpy and weird! But here's it anyway!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275146 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:55:54 +0000 AJ 1275146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A cool spring look...like a lemon sorbet! Congrats on finding your sporty sneaker! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275143 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 04:53:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1275143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sporty luxe look! I like the soft colored sweater with the white jeans, and the silky sleeves definitely give the look its luxury. Is the sweater cream or yellow? It seems to echo the shoes in any case, and what cute shoes they are. The sneakers were meant to be yours, apparently, seeing as how your nails just happened to end up in the same colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275101 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:26:51 +0000 Mo 1275101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for finding your gateway sporty sneakers! &nbsp;I have toyed with the idea of the Madden Ecentric ponyhair dalmatian ones. &nbsp;Maybe this fall.<br />The nails are too fun! &nbsp;I have no patience for nail upkeep so I rarely paint them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275096 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:22:23 +0000 MsLuna 1275096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh!!!! Love that pale yellow! And the nails!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275095 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 03:21:24 +0000 Gracie 1275095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great! I love the accent of the black and white clutch, the perfect finishing touch. I do not see the chunkyness at all in these sneakers. I was expecting a darker lip color from your description, but it looks perfectly fresh and pretty in the photo. And I vote that a double coat of mascara counts as sporty if it is waterproof </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275075 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 02:55:10 +0000 Gigi 1275075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love the clutch, how it stands out. And the lip gloss is eye-catching but not OTT. Everything is bright and springy!</p> <p>I see what you mean about the light footwear making your hair stand out as an accessory&nbsp;(you mentioned that on my nude heels thread). It really makes your face the focal point of the outfit.&nbsp;I'll have to keep watching your WIWs and think about the role your shoes play. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275068 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 02:42:47 +0000 Suz 1275068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Ms. Mary would say.....</p> <p><b>PLONK!!!!</b></p> <p>This is sensational! I love everything about it, especially your smile.&nbsp;</p> <p>One of my faves on you yet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0610-look-whos-sporty-now#post-1275066 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 02:39:41 +0000 Aida 1275066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna posted these pale yellow/mint/blush slip-ons <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-slip-on-sneakers" rel="nofollow">a month ago</a>, and at the time I collected them as a fun potential pastel slip-on for my weekend capsule. I kept thinking about them, and was surprised to see that I was the only one who'd collected them. And, truthfully, the contrarian in me rather liked that no one else had; not that I would mind otherwise, I mean this is the GAP -- about as mass market as it gets. I ordered a pair immediately. Well, two pairs, my usual two half-sizes, and the website listed as sold out shortly afterwards [EDIT: Looks like they're back in stock now]. They <i>finally</i> arrived late last week, and to my dismay GAP sent me two pairs of the larger size! But due to the GAP's somewhat inconsistent quality on sizing, one pair fits a bit smaller than the other (hooray for once). I love them so much that I am going to happily trot out there in far chunkier white soles than I would ever have expected to be comfortable in. If I can't get used to how I look in these cutie-pie sneakers, then there is no hope for me ;)</p> <p>So for the first time I am able to sport a sporty-luxe outfit that has actual sporty footwear (which has always been my primary luxe). The whole bottom half is actually rather sporty with the rolled relaxed jeans, but then less sporty because the jeans are white. The luxe comes from the oversized silk-sleeved sweater and giant gold hoops, both of which would be sporty on their own in different fabrication/scale, plus a double coat of mascara. The energetic striped hard clutch has a sporty feel to it, too. Debated going light on the lip color, then debated going bright... But decided that I needed my small chaotic element so chose a darker plum gloss instead. Overall more luxe than sporty (no surprise), and&nbsp;yet sportier than other sporty-luxe outfits I've worn (big surprise). VERY happy with how the whole thing turned out, "chunky" sneakers and all! Thanks for the fab find, Anna ^^</p> <p>I also ended up with matching nails, though that wasn't my initial plan. I'd expected the yellow to be brighter and the white to be whiter, and since the contrast wasn't high enough I added the mint "stripe" (with a dotter, which isn't the best option for painting lines heh). Not what I'd planned but fun nonetheless.</p> <p>Available items collected below. Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome.</p>
