Maybe one day one will find me on Ebay... or knocked off at F21.&nbsp;<br /><br />I think that, since so little shoe shows, a nice shiny polish would probably be fine. Your climate would seem to warrant a sturdy shoe at this time of the year IMO. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-892124 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 02:48:58 +0000 Jaime 892124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think if you polish the shoes you should be fine - but what do I know? I love that sweater, but that is not the point right? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-892010 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 01:00:36 +0000 Parsley 892010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think those pants are going to be perfect with your jacket. What top will you wear? I would think that the boots should be OK, especially in snowy Alaska! But you do need to have some pumps in your wardrobe for future!<br /><br />Love that blue snake sweater. You look fabulous in that outfit!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-892003 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:56:38 +0000 Aida 892003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can't advise on the shoe situation, but the outfit is fab https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891926 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 00:00:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 891926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh I love that Equipment sweater on you - that cobalt colour just pops with your gorgeous complexion. It looks great with the trousers.<br /><br />I'm feeling kind of like Raisin - I'm not sure you need to buy footwear for an interview, unless you'd be buying them anyway. Give these a polish up and they will work for the interview. Nobody is going to be staring at your feet anyway under a pair of trousers. If you were wearing a skirt, that would be a different thing. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891881 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 23:21:50 +0000 Raisin 891881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfit today! &nbsp;I don't think you need to buy new shoes, it's not like they will be front and center at your interview, and I think it would be a shame to go spend hundreds on some shoes just for an interview. &nbsp;I think those will be fine, and when you have the time, you can go get work shoes that you love.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891847 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 22:37:41 +0000 pil 891847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Can you borrow a pair of shoes from a friend?<br />The blazer and pants ought to be the perfect alternative to buying a suit.<br />That sweater is awesome. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891765 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 20:25:40 +0000 Sara L. 891765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the boots will work for an interview.&nbsp; I think you mentioned in a past post that boots are acceptable due to the Alaska weather at interviews?&nbsp; I think some polish will spiff them up and with the long pant length, they won't be noticeable anyway.&nbsp; <br /><br />Love the bright sweater! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891719 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:39:03 +0000 kellygirl 891719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the blue snake print on you. Great silhouette too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891714 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:37:41 +0000 K. Period. 891714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just realized that I forgot to say how entirely fabulous you look in that outfit. (Sheesh! How could I?!?) &nbsp;Gorgeous and stylish as always, Una. You set the standard for UWP fan-tab-u-liciousness!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891709 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:35:17 +0000 catgirl 891709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Re: PPL, I&nbsp;hiked up the pant leg to show a little more of the boot - they actually almost drag the ground if I don't belt them. &nbsp;I will take a full outfit pic with blazer and boots tonight!<br /><br />kcs, those are great! &nbsp;I am putting these all on my list in case I get the job. &nbsp;I just don't think I have time before Tuesday to get stuff shipped and see if it fits! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891700 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:24:34 +0000 ElleH 891700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For the interview I think the shoes are fine &amp; also the length of pant with shoe. I prefer longer for PPL but they wont judge that at the interview. Just give the shoes a good polish. These days I prefer more refined pointier shoes with this pant but again you are not being judged on fashion there at the interview, just appropriateness. I'm guessing&nbsp;refined footwear isn't big in Alaska due to impracticality.<br /><br />I love the sweater btw. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891694 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:20:18 +0000 Anonymous 891694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Next time you are in NY, we'll attack the shoe and suit situation https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891691 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:19:00 +0000 Anonymous 891691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If the pants are long enough, the shoe is going to look OK with the polish, me thinks. I have the same blue snake print from Equipment. Mine is a blouse. You look great.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891681 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:07:40 +0000 K. Period. 891681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jacket plus pants should be great. &nbsp;I'm not convinced by the shoes because of the weight of the soles plus the heaviness overall. &nbsp;<br /><br />What about this:&nbsp;<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Nine-West-Womens-Spotlight-Manmade/dp/B007OPCKAW/ref=sr_1_121?s=shoes&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1364497535&amp;sr=1-121"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nine-West-Womens-Spotlight-Manmade/dp/B007OPCKAW/ref=sr_1_121?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Nine-Wes.....8&#038;amp</a>;</a><br /><br />I assume that like everyone in Alaska, you have an Amazon Prime membership, right? &nbsp;<br /><br />They are pretty boring. I know. &nbsp;However, the rounded squared toe reads both as very conservative and a little tomboyish, and the heel is low and solid. &nbsp;You could probably run in these. &nbsp;They come in small sizes too (since I know you have tiny little feet). &nbsp;I think they are cut low enough to fit a wide foot. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891677 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:03:57 +0000 Missey 891677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Polish the boots, look super fantastic up top.&nbsp; If you don't have time to shop, you don't have time to shop.&nbsp; Would super refined footwear get any use in your closet or would you be throwing away a lot of money?&nbsp; I think the shoes will be just fine because you will shine :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891676 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 19:03:12 +0000 Sarah A 891676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you could get away with polish, and consider if edge dressing makes sense to freshen up the edges of the sole/heel? (Not sure here...) It will wear off so you wount have a shiny sole on your boot forever. If you sit and cross you legs what is the hardware showing situation with these boots? Would it feel too oddly rugged with a suit look? Or is a rugged shoe mixed in an Alaskan standard acceptable?<br /><br />I would love to see a bit more PPL but given the circumstance lets not get too worked up :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891664 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:48:49 +0000 Anonymous 891664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I forgot to say, the sweater looks great with those trousers.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891660 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:45:12 +0000 Anonymous 891660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hm. Do people up there tend to wear sleek refined shoes? They look a little chunky, but a good polish would combat that a little.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-snake#post-891652 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:37:05 +0000 catgirl 891652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Equipment sweater, Express pants, Harley boots.&nbsp; <br /><br />These are the pants I'm thinking of wearing with the Theory blazer to the interview.&nbsp; They are the same shade of black&nbsp;and weight.&nbsp; Will post a complete picture of that tonight.<br /><br />These are my sleekest boots.&nbsp; Obviously they need to be polished!&nbsp; You can only see the very tip of the toe with PPL.&nbsp; Can I avoid buying a new pair of booties this way, since I really don't have time to shop?&nbsp; Or do I have to splash out at the crazy-expensive boutique?&nbsp; <br /><br />Again, apologies for agonizing!
