High happiness factor + high comfort factor = perfect outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bootie-ford-1#post-882390 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 22:39:50 +0000 unfrumped 882390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&lt;SPAN class=wysiwyg-font-size-medium&gt;Here is an outfit that I wore last week while still having black tights weather. The cashmere sweater is&nbsp;slim and&nbsp;fitted, but is worn under lab coat, so that adds a lot of volume and some shoulders. When wearing sans coat, I have been aiming for &nbsp;boxier tops.</p> <p>&lt;SPAN class=wysiwyg-font-size-medium&gt;What is new is that I’m wearing my Madden Girl low-heeled tie boot that I originally expected only to wear with pants. I got them as kind of a fill-in even though they are &nbsp;faux leather, as I needed something very low for some of my winter pants that are hemmed too short for anything higher.</p> <p>&lt;SPAN class=wysiwyg-font-size-medium&gt;I guess these are a bit like the old desert boots, &nbsp;but they have a slim fit and oval-almond toe. Compared to &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;my Prizzze booties, the shaft fits much closer to my ankle. That is the kind of fit I was&nbsp; trying to find in a true “bootie” but so far have not. So I got brave and wore them with a skirt as a cross between a bootie and an oxford.</p> <p>&lt;SPAN class=wysiwyg-font-size-medium&gt;The tie factor may not be ideal, but I like the look of the closer fit a lot. Also the heel &nbsp;is very low and&nbsp; has a rubbery sole so that I feel like I’m wearing tennis shoes and am able to stride down the halls at a rapid pace with no clattering noise. </p> <p>&lt;SPAN class=wysiwyg-font-size-medium&gt;This outfit had a high happiness factor and so I’m trying to take note of the elements that made it so and replicate those while still trying to improve the look. Suggestions for improving the look or other options for similar "happiness" factors welcome.</p>
