Fab, as always. While you are shoe shopping, keep an eye open for some new workout wear for physio! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1447039 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 07:20:18 +0000 stainedglass 1447039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with the shoe shopping! &nbsp;I hope that the fracture&nbsp;heals quickly. &nbsp;I spent 6 weeks in das boot's little brother, the black velcro platform shoe,&nbsp;after a stress fracture and it definitely made dressing more challenging. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446877 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 00:58:48 +0000 Anonymous 1446877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's perfect. Sporty stylish and the&nbsp;only thing missing is the other sneaker.&nbsp;It's <i>crazy</i> how adaptable you are.

Using the boot to bookend your look is genius. OK, maybe not intentional, but genius. And the reflective sparkle from the athletic shoe bookends the metallic in the bag. You will more than surpass this little "booty challenge." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446751 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 21:47:58 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1446751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great solution! I adore that sweater and wish you luck finding other shoes to make it through these weeks. Take good care of yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446713 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 20:18:28 +0000 MsMary 1446713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You all are so find and encouraging! You really lift my spirits!</p> <p>Approprio, it's so funny because I keep telling people that the worst part if this injury, by far, is that is has in fact slowed me down a lot!! I'm used to charging around like a madwoman and that isn't really an option at the moment. </p> <p>CocoLion, it's not just sprained -- it's broken and I have the x-ray to prove it! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446704 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:57:30 +0000 CocoLion 1446704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, I'm just catching up and see that you sprained your ankle! &nbsp;How painful. &nbsp;Hoping for a speedy recovery, your pants go really well with the Frankenboot (so named by Karie), you are looking great in spite of the injury! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446695 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:48:21 +0000 approprio 1446695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for accessorising an orthopaedic support! I'm empathising here because I'm limping around on a broken toe and I&nbsp;narrowly escaped Das Boot myself.&nbsp;As it is I'm relegated to shoes with thick soles and&nbsp;a generous toe box, so it's big boots for me&nbsp;on both feet for at least another week.</p> <p>Anyway, it's good to see it hasn't slowed you down. I think the sneaker creates just the right contrast and the textured black pants are a great choice. I have no idea what dress code requirements you're up against, but I would have thought all bets are off when you have to wear that thing and no excuses. Perhaps an opportunity for some creative retail therapy for the other foot?</p> <p>Hang in there. I do hope you won't have to wear it for too long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446677 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:25:18 +0000 Suz 1446677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, you look sensational! Gosh, you are making that boot an actual part of your outfit. I say wear whatever you can while you are healing. You are always going to steal the show and I cannot believe anyone would question your authority!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446650 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:39:54 +0000 Inge 1446650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a super solution, Mary. The colours of your sneaker tie in very well with the rest of your outfit. And you totally look like you mean business;-)<br />Love the pendant as well.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446627 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:13:31 +0000 Angie 1446627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WELL DONE</p> <p>You look Biz Sneaker Chic. What a sport you are. Fun jewellery too.

Have you considered fabric paint pens to give Das Boot a leopard pattern? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446567 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:13:21 +0000 Glory 1446567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I hope you recover quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446565 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:10:20 +0000 Deb 1446565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feeling for you Mary and hoping the fracture heals well for you. What can I say....great outfit...shame about the shoes. Glad to see you're still smiling despite everything. Take good care and keep your right leg elevated when you can.....it'll help to reduce that swelling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-224-black-and-gray-and-succumbing-to-the-sneaker#post-1446560 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:01:43 +0000 MsMary 1446560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I discovered last night that my workout shoes are about the same height as Das Boot (see pic 2), so today I am wearing one to work. Oh, the shame!&nbsp; LOL</p> <p>Gray flannel pants: Express (you can't see it in the photo, but they've got a microcheck pattern)<br />Black turtleneck: Ann Taylor<br />Gray leopard cardi: JC Penney<br />Sneaker: Mizuno<br />Gray tote: Talbots<br />Pendant: H&amp;M<br />Gray belt: Target</p> <p>This is more casual than I would normally dress for work but it's a no-meetings day so I'm just rolling with it. I really do need to do some shoe shopping, though!</p> <p>Thanks for looking and commenting if you are so moved! </p>
