That's very helpful. I'm hopeful they'll work. I've never tried this brand's shoe wear, but I have one of their purses, and it's a workhorse.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2015329 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 02:32:00 +0000 Vix 2015329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lyn -- </b>thank you! so glad we have lots of moody floral lovers around here for eye candy! I wore the same outfit with black boots / micronet tights on a rainy day but do love the change-up. Back to cold and rainy today....</p> <p><b>Kate --</b> thank you and&nbsp; good luck...hopefully they're meant to be yours! [Last year I got the last sale-priced pair in my size so it's clearly your turn.]</p> <p>Shaft measurements are notoriously bad. I just measured mine and in a small size (6) get 15.5 at the heel and about an inch more mid-sole. I'm 5'4 and only have 17" of real estate from heel to knee bend so I would think you'd be fine from a functional standpoint...I walk distances in these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2015324 Tue, 26 Mar 2019 00:58:10 +0000 Kate 2015324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dark floral blouse is gorgeous on you, Vix. Super score! I also love the taupe boots you're wearing with the outfit. So much so, that I decided to track them down, and darned if The Rack didn't have one lonely pair of size 10s left in the taupe. They have a 16-1/2 inch shaft, so may be uncomfortably tall for me, but I thought I'd give them a try. Fingers crossed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2015175 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 14:59:12 +0000 lyn67 2015175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great score and I love your maximal look with the dark/moody floral blouse(love them, too!) The taupe knee high boots are great change from the all blacks (I only have), wow!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2015172 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 14:48:47 +0000 Vix 2015172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Thanks all!</b></p> <p><b>Angie -- </b>I wasn't much for prints til I understood how to choose them; now I have to remember solids are more practical!</p> <p><b>Nemosmom --</b> It felt like a cheesy romance novel when I found the one that got away in someone else's "trash," ha!</p> <p><b>AJ --</b> I know you're another who loves secondhand finds and dark prints. Nice to see you around again and thank you!</p> <p><b>Suntiger --</b> My tiny closet pics really showed me that "brighter on me" doesn't equal "bright" haha. Sometimes I get envious of shades others can wear, and sometimes I get...dark floarls! Hope you've found yours.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn -- </b>Ha! If it's green-blue teal, enjoy. If it's blue-green teal...I may have to fly over with a wad of cash. Looking forward to seeing what you've found! [At least I have a few teal items from last summer waiting to be released....] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014996 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 22:05:04 +0000 Brooklyn 2014996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha Vix! I’m cornering the market on teal now. If you want any, you better move fast. It’s all heading straight for my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014986 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 21:37:21 +0000 Anonymous 2014986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it and the boots too!

And how nice to see your lovely face.&nbsp;</p> <p>You have a knack for choosing patterns that work with your hair, <b>Vix.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014912 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 16:52:06 +0000 Vix 2014912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi <b>Taylor, Roxanna, Janet, and Mainelady -- </b>thank you! As you can clearly tell, excited to have found this one.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bucking the bootie trend but for days when it's still kinda cold I love my lighter boots. Of course even protected suede makes me wait for days when the forecast holds no surprises....</p> <p><b>Rachylou --</b> I know, right? Normally we have months of that, but while many parts of country are under horrible conditions we're getting sun -- had to switch to the taupe boots. Sending warm rays your way.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn </b>-- thank you! Have been looking for a dark floral at a price I wanted to pay for a few years now...seemed like you cornered the market on them! The boots took a few years to turn up too so I feel you on that (yes, why?).</p> <p><b>Shevia -- </b>big thank you -- some days and lighting better than others! Those Charlie "girl" ads were some of my favs so compliment taken as meant!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014846 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 08:32:56 +0000 Mainelady 2014846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dark floral for spring. I like the variety of ways you have stayed it. Fabulous boots, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014781 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 01:35:26 +0000 Jaime 2014781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are beautiful Vix! Love what you have done with the blouse in 3. #2 gives me slight Charlie girl vibes (from the 70s perfume ads). Meant as extreme compliment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014779 Sun, 24 Mar 2019 01:29:21 +0000 Brooklyn 2014779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dark floral and the boots.

Those boots are fantastic too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014709 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 20:34:52 +0000 rachylou 2014709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that top. I was just sitting here thinking, Yes, Spring has Sprung, But I’m Not Totally Feelin’ It. It’s still cold and rainy. This top is really the perfect answer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sliding-into-spring-via-slivers-of-dark-floral#post-2014699 Sat, 23 Mar 2019 19:11:04 +0000 Roxanna 2014699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix I love deep dramatic florals like this...
