Fantastic looks and I am glad you had a fun time. I have a semi wide foot and feel like me decision to steer clear of the petty's was probably good based on your report. I hate that they arent as comfy for you as optimal but do appreciate your sharing your wisdom. <br /><br />I had never heard of Danial Rain before but recently picked up a a JCrew print knock off of his at TJMaxx so I am happy to hear the name mentioned. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894451 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 16:25:11 +0000 Day Vies 894451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These all look great I am in love with the whimsy pattern in the blouse&nbsp;on #3. I love that rich red on the jeans -- very classic but with a little twist. #8 is also a great look too especially with the SEs making a great bookend to the gray sweater. I also love how the belt ties it all together without looking matchy matchy. These are all wonderful!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894426 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:47:30 +0000 Kyle 894426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stellar! &nbsp;Very modern, flattering and very you. My favorite is the white jeans with the Petty boots. That color combo really suits you and is a look I enjoy personally, too.<br /><br />Ladies, I love those snakeskin boots and wear them a lot (often with white or neutral bottoms, by the way).&nbsp;However, I took them with me to a trade show and could barely walk after the first day, with blisters everywhere. They are fine for a day at work or minimal running around, but anything beyond that is misery.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894418 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:29:21 +0000 annagybe 894418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another vote for #1 and #7. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894411 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 15:12:31 +0000 Jjsloane 894411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all (especially Angie)&nbsp;and Happy Easter! I'm back in lots of white again even though our weather is a bit cold and gloomy.&nbsp;<br /><br />Suz - that's exactly my problem! A podiatrist many years ago&nbsp;said I have hammer toes (right foot smallest toes also) and this causes me to get the callous between them. She suggested I get the corrective procedure, but that involved toe breakage and I'm not that uncomfortable, just need to alternate shoes regularly and avoid narrow and pointy ones.&nbsp;She gave me a supply of these amazing foam toe separator&nbsp;things that seem quite hard to find but are heavenly and get me through periods when the callous is quite painful. The arch one with the hole in it is amazing between the baby and 4th toe for comfort. I need to reorder and maybe that will help me when I wear the petty's.&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MPSET6/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A120ZGLPNZ2TK4">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....ZGLPNZ2TK4</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894395 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:36:51 +0000 Angie 894395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You always look SO fabulous!<br /><br />I'm glad you kept the floral jacket and are wearing nude hose! Those outfits are sensational! And #1 is even more swish! NYC style :).<br /><br />But the last one steals the show. I AM a sucker for white on white. Well done! Happy Easter. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894394 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:36:43 +0000 Tanya 894394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, you look absolutely fantastic! &nbsp;Everything is great, but#1 is out of this world! &nbsp;Also really like the outfit with the floral blazer and the bird blouse. &nbsp;Sorry about the booties, maybe they will stretch a little. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894389 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:31:38 +0000 Suz 894389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh...too bad. I also have some problems sometimes with the right foot being too narrow for me in shoes with pointier toes. In the Pettys I am fine, but in a few other styles or even some sandals that push the toes together, I need to be careful or I will get corns between my little toe and fourth toe (one one toe or the other). My solution has been a little gel toe-sock. It is the oddest thing, and feels a bit funny at first, but it offers real protection. I wore them throughout my recent trip on my right foot and it helped prevent corns and blisters completely! But my toes are quite short, so the squish might not be as bad as for someone with longer toes and a wider foot - I'm not sure.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894351 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:23:01 +0000 Anonymous 894351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, you look like a model in Architectural Digest in that first photo. &nbsp;So sophisticated against the gorgeous backdrop. &nbsp;You had such a great week! &nbsp;Looks 1 and 8 are my favorites. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894349 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 13:15:01 +0000 kkards 894349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ sorry about the pettys, because #8 was my fave. love the way the boots and the belt mirrored each other.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894322 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:51:12 +0000 Diana 894322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all fab but #1 is amazing! &nbsp;Just the perfect mix of casual and glam.<br /><br />Eta: I feel like it should be one of Angie's polyvores, complete with wineglass. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894320 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:45:58 +0000 Deborah 894320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My goodness, I don't know where to start. This is such a wonderful set of outfits. &nbsp;Jeanne I love love love #1 and that lovely home compliments your style. &nbsp; Just stunning! &nbsp;You don't put a foot wrong. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894317 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:39:17 +0000 Jjsloane 894317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Once again it's wonderful to get supportive replies.&nbsp;I did feel extra snazzy in #1 (even before I had&nbsp;more wine) but in large part due to&nbsp;the apartment (and the company) being super fab. At least I know I have a few things (and the knowledge to put them together) that make me feel not so suburban when I'm in city company (New Yorkers have the best hair though - do they get fantastic blowouts and keratin treatments?)&nbsp;<br />I'll try to do a better outfit and photo with the newly died shoes. It really was pretty easy even though the color was not exactly what I was going for. Another post on that perhaps later.<br /><br />Suz - interesting about your Petty's. Unfortunately my toe issue was not the same and I don't think as easily solved. For me it&nbsp;was the toe area, but more the width. When I first got them I knew the right would be too narrow for my semi-wide foot. I have this problem with most pointier toe shoes. I actually had them stretched and they felt perfect. However they are not long term walking shoes (not as dismal as just sitting shoes). I will just have to remember this next time, but it is sad because they are pretty cool and I want to love them more.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894312 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 11:17:11 +0000 Mochi 894312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jeannie! Your style has really come a long way! I like them all for being so playful and hip. I do love 7 a lot, and yes, the "too short" skirt is also a fave.&nbsp;<br /><br />(Your SIL's apartment is extremely fab.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894288 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 10:07:16 +0000 Ingunn 894288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, you're on a roll! I LOVE #1, like the rest of us. I also think #6 and #7 are really fab. Great colors and silhouettes. YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894265 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 07:02:04 +0000 Lantana 894265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lots of yummy looks here. Love the subtle pattern mixing between the bird blouse and jacket lining. What you're doing with white in&nbsp;&nbsp;#6 and #8 is great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894247 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 06:03:26 +0000 rae 894247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so chic in every picture - I bet you fit right in in NYC! That floral blazer is so amazing on you. Also a huge fan off #1 and #7. Too bad the pettys aren't 100% comfy, because they look great with the white jeans. :T https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894242 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 05:58:28 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 894242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look terrific in all of these outfits! I can't see #2 very well, but I'm intrigued by "newly dyed metallic oxfords"--really! You dyed them metallic??<br />I love the dress with those boots--very sassy and one of my faves here&nbsp; (although they are all so great, it's hard to choose). I do not think the dress looks too short, but I can understand it might have been out of your comfort zone. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894217 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 05:03:51 +0000 CocoLion 894217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #7 is fantastic! &nbsp;You look so good in low rise jeans and the preppy sweater. &nbsp;This is my favorite outfit from you, ever!<br /><br />I also really like #1. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894215 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 04:52:24 +0000 Susie 894215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! You look wonderful in all of these. #1 is my favorite and just plain fabulous in every way! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894208 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 04:23:40 +0000 catgirl 894208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are some of my favorite outfits you've posted!&nbsp; Really love #1 but all are winners.&nbsp; Sorry to hear about the Pettys. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894201 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 04:14:16 +0000 kellygirl 894201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, so pretty, Jjsloane! There is just something about your style that really resonates with me. I LOVE all of them. #1 is so glam. This is exactly how I want to look for an evening out. Dark denim, sequins and black with a hint of ankle--perfection. The glass of wine is the perfect accessory too. I'm favoriting this one because I would like to copy this! Love the floral blazer and the airline outfit--so gorgeous. Love the striped sweater with the button down and I die over the mini-dress. &nbsp;White go go boots would be perfect with it. It doesn't look too short in the photo but I get what you mean about sitting/work. So happy to see your WIW's. Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894139 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 03:12:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 894139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are looking so good, sorry to hear about the booties.<br />I'm totally blown away by #1. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894135 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 03:10:05 +0000 celia 894135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So many great outfits! My favorite is #5 but only because I am a little biased regarding flower patterns this season because if I had to wear one of this outfits every day I would feel as fab as you look. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894133 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 03:05:13 +0000 Jaime 894133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfits. I love #1 and #7 wowed me too! Sorry about the booties - sounds like Suz has some great ideas though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894129 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 03:02:37 +0000 Suz 894129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, #1, <b><i>#1&nbsp;</i></b>!!! You look sensational!!<br /><br />Now, the Pettys.&nbsp;<br /><br />I had a bad day with mine, too - all unexpectedly, because the first few outings were no problem.&nbsp;<br /><br />Tell me where and how they hurt.&nbsp;<br /><br />For me, it was on the top of the toes. There's a seam in the lining or something. I had to run to make an appointment and was wearing very thin socks. And before I knew it I had blisters on the tops of my toes in such a weird place.&nbsp;<br /><br />My solution was going to be to stretch them, but I discovered that if I simply wore a thicker Smartwool sock, presto bingo, no pain. <br /><br />The footbed is a bit long for me (even in the smaller of my two regular sizes)&nbsp;and my arches are a bit high for it, but with a bit of extra wool the warmth of my own foot seems to have stretched and softened them enough.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894056 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 01:32:40 +0000 bj1111 894056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so swanky and place appropriate on #1. &nbsp;Am digging #8 too.<div><br /></div><div>Your hair is so lush in these photos.</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-from-nyc-and-back-again#post-894041 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 01:21:09 +0000 Anonymous 894041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love 1 -- so excellent.<br /><br />I also am going to copy your almost all white look, it's fantastic!
