I'm happy that your flats saved your PPLs day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820713 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:10:20 +0000 Mona 820713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous outfit and the cobalt clutch is such a great addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820706 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:04:15 +0000 Beth Ann 820706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly: I'm so glad to know that others struggle to achieve PPL. I'm 5'6" and lazy about hems, since I'm used to them being close to OK most of the time. BTW -- your hems are much cleaner than the ones in the inspiration pic. My mom would make me "rip it out" and start over -- with a good pressing, to boot! Wish I had her long legs, though!</p> <p>Secondly: I'm also hunting for the perfect white shirt, and I'm encouraged to see others "seek and find."</p> <p>I'm wearing cobalt pants today. I bought them to bring a little zing to all my winter black. Need the clutch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820349 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:03:48 +0000 kimlee 820349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The cobalt blue clutch was a fab touch. But then again I'd expect nothing less from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820347 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:02:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 820347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart PPL save MaryK! And of course you'd switch to a cobalt clutch - we would expect nothing less from you!</p> <p>I may have to copy your copy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820337 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:57:27 +0000 Anonymous 820337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this inspiration and the result. You look good. Love the touch of cobalt. Btw In the playground yesterday on the school run I counted 5 mums with panstsat least 2 inches too short; I could have wept! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820333 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:55:22 +0000 Day Vies 820333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love. That's all I can say.</p> <p>I do understand the need and use for flats to overcome ppl problems -- I've done it myself.

So many of my pants no longer work. You look great and I love the blue clutch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820253 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 18:02:00 +0000 Amy 820253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great.

It's ....well....inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-116-pinterest-copycat-and-ballet-flats-save-the-ppl-day#post-820222 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 17:35:55 +0000 MsMary 820222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was so bummed the other day when Angie pointed out that my favorite black dress pants were in pretty flagrant violation of PPL (perfect pants length). I really wanted to wear them today for this Pinterest copycat look, but I couldn't un-see the length problem!</p> <p>Fortunately my black ballet flats jumped out of the closet and saved the day! Yay!!</p> <p>And may I just say that I had despaired of ever finding a white button-front shirt that didn't gap or make me feel like a stuffed sausage, but this one has a nice poet-y cut and I just love it! It pays to be patient and picky!!</p> <p>And because it's me, I had to replace the black clutch in the inspiration pic for a nice cobalt clutch!</p> <p>White shirt: Can't remember, from the Rack<br /> Black pants Ann Taylor<br /> Houndstooth knit blazer: Ellen Tracy<br /> Black flats (they actually have a tiny wedge): Life Stride<br /> Blue "snake" clutch: Veronica M (local boutique)</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I am also wearing my fleece-lined tights in our Arctic-to-us 47-degree weather and happy as a nice warm clam! </p>
