And how wonderful that you are finding shoes where you are staying. I love Beth Ann's idea of snakeskin, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-go-at-bookending#post-944028 Wed, 29 May 2013 15:43:42 +0000 annaj 944028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes look great!! I don't think you need to "match" your bag. When you book end, anything in between will work! Mind you, my bags are often my "statement" piece </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-go-at-bookending#post-944016 Wed, 29 May 2013 15:31:54 +0000 jenanded 944016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Beth Ann. I took the snakeskin boot back - they really are a little small in the cut and my feet are still recoverng a month later from&nbsp;the leopard ballet flat I bought... LOVE the sandals you present here! I have snakeskin sandals with some chunk to them and wear them non stop, and some white flat sandals with metallic details...Which makes me realise&nbsp;its closed in shoes that are more problematic!&nbsp;How did you go with the front strap sandal you were looking at? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-go-at-bookending#post-943990 Wed, 29 May 2013 15:04:50 +0000 Beth Ann 943990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As we say here, "Now you're cookin' with gas!"&nbsp; That means, roughly, that these are great, and you've got it goin' on!</p> <p>I hear you on the right "scale" of shoe, particularly when it's light in color.&nbsp; My hair is dark, of course, so I need a nude shoe with a little visual weight, or I look like Barbie with her shoes off, walking on tiptoe.&nbsp; Dark shoes, of course, cut up the leg line.&nbsp; I still have a lot to learn!</p> <p>&nbsp;What about snakeskin shoes?&nbsp; They would be a great bridge for your hair and love of black.&nbsp; Do you own the lovely Petty booties that so many YLFers have?&nbsp; I've even scoped out a cute sandal recently:</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-go-at-bookending#post-943958 Wed, 29 May 2013 14:30:23 +0000 jenanded 943958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about the spelling on my tablet - esp Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-go-at-bookending#post-943957 Wed, 29 May 2013 14:28:29 +0000 jenanded 943957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know everyone talks about bookending but 1. I can hardly ever find shoes to fit so end up with black or black and 2. i was starting to get concerned that a light shoe on the end of generous me would chop things up. Then, I found these little beauties - a cute 'chunky' loafer that are 1. in a light colour to go with my hair and 2. have proportions that work with my bones... I only take them off so they don't get wet... What do you think? I could be hooked! Now do I need to get a bag to tone lighter as well so that you get the 3 hits of shoe, bag, hair? BTW, as with the jackets I am spoilt wiht choice on shoes - look at the selection I am deciding between.. the little pointy toe sling backs also come in off white so I could do an angie with the pointy toe look AND bookend? of course this style perches on my frame but could be ok under trousers? PS isn't it funny that I can find things that work in a town about 35 miles from where my ancestors, both sides, originate from... </p>
