I'm still undecided how I feel about it.&nbsp; Karie makes a good point, which is that I don't really want my socks to show and going sockless is not an option; in that case, you would kind of need to have a bit of scrunch, no?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434471 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 14:51:10 +0000 harmonica 1434471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your calve are just fine! Fab and fun outfit! Loving that Gap blazer. Beautiful hand knit pieces. You're really talented. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434423 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 13:50:34 +0000 viva 1434423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still covet that Gap blazer!!!!!</p> <p>I love this outfit, and I think it works well with those skinnies, and would also work with looser ones. I want to put neon laces in my oxfords now because the dandifying effect is so great here. And as for scrunch, I am not opposed to it, but I have always been more of a cuffer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434402 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 12:46:12 +0000 Tanya 1434402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both versions Diana, especially the one with the oxfords.&nbsp; Those are great snow boots!</p> <p>I personally do not mind the scrunch on jeans.&nbsp; I am/will not be buying new pairs that scrunch, but am perfectly fine wearing those I already own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434401 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 12:44:01 +0000 Aquamarine 1434401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes this totally works! I LOVE those oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434382 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 11:30:20 +0000 Karie 1434382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always do the footwear swap thing (and with all the snow we've had that's a lot of swapping). I love it when I can scrunch my skinnies and straight legged jeans, probably&nbsp;because that means they're long enough and not too short like most pants are on me. Plus it's warm sock weather, not bare ankle weather, so I totally get not rolling or folding up the cuffs.&nbsp;</p> <p>Both indoor and outdoor versions look fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434305 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 05:49:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1434305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the oxfords with the skinnies, and the fit is great. With the bubble-hem tunic and blazer, the skinnies are just right. Another great outfit! And you bundle up so stylishly. Love the coat, boots, scarf and hat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434248 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 02:50:16 +0000 Jaime 1434248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434142 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 23:41:10 +0000 gardenchick 1434142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! Like both very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434039 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:14:54 +0000 Marilyn 1434039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice look.&nbsp; Everything looks great. &nbsp; I love how the yellow piping on the jacket pops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1434034 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:03:31 +0000 Suz 1434034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This totally works, and I'd have switched out the snow boots, too. As for scrunch, I am off it personally, but I was never a huge scrunch fan to begin with, so take that with a grain of salt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433970 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:38:45 +0000 Sal 1433970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the calves look absolutely fine.<br />I adore your coat - and I like the whole look very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433956 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:27:59 +0000 Anonymous 1433956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie's right, definitely a romantic look with a touch of dandy. I'm a big fan of the coat too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433942 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:12:15 +0000 Angie 1433942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You cutie-patootie. Not sausage-y. Romantic, Interesting and Arty as always. The laces on the oxfords add a dandy touch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Good job swapping out those snow boots. I couldn't wear them the whole day either. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433930 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:00:37 +0000 cjh 1433930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice column of navy, and the neon trim is a good bright touch. Are those your Arletta oxfords with new laces?</p> <p>Since you're now in the warm, maybe rolling the jeans once might give that break in the line&nbsp;needed for the oxfords. Since you asked about scrunch... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433921 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 18:48:02 +0000 Katie ryan 1433921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks great!

I had to stop doing it so much, so I didn't eat through my shoes in a couple of weeks, lol.</p> <p>Your CK coat <i>rocks </i>by the way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433865 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:49:43 +0000 Diana 1433865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - How do we feel about scrunched bottoms on skinnies these days?&nbsp; I see it a lot less often nowadays, so I wonder if it is a bit passe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-skinnies-with-high-vamp-shoes#post-1433863 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:48:29 +0000 Diana 1433863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking Angie's advice and wearing my skinnies with high vamped, heeled oxfords today.&nbsp; This is a strictly indoor outfit (the outdoor version is the second picture) since it's still too gross out to wear anything but snow boots.&nbsp; I don't normally like to do the footwear swap thing, but I make an exception for snow boots, since my Sorels are too warm and and a bit too stiff to wear all day comfortably.</p> <p>Looking at the pics, I actually think I should have gone with looser skinnies, like my Nikkis.&nbsp; I think my calves in this pair look a bit sausagey without boots to balance them out.&nbsp; </p> <p>Angie actually said to wear <i>cropped</i> skinnies with high vamp shoes, but it's too cold for that right now... but maybe that would have been better in terms of proportions.</p> <p>(indoors: Gap jacket, Soprano tunic, Vince skinnies, Born oxfords)<br />(outdoors: CK coat, handknit scarf and hat, Sorel boots, Longchamp bag) </p>
