I'd be upset if the kids were using them for scrapes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549778 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 19:49:48 +0000 celia 1549778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bread.... Outfits , you said? Just kidding.</p> <p>I can relate to the "My feet hurt so much I didn't even put on slippers, much less shoes.", my princess feet do not like new shoes in summer.&nbsp;<br />But I really &nbsp;like the oxfords so I hope you will break them in meanwhile because I have the feeling you will wear them a lot in Fall.</p> <p>The blazer with chucks is a winning combination, imo, but all your outfits look really good. Looking forward to see the Fall layering.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549710 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 17:12:18 +0000 E 1549710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those Fryes are gorgeous; I hope they break in more easily. I tend to use the very thin, dress socks that Smartwool makes for breaking in period.</p> <p>Like everyone else, I love the straight legs in 31! :D</p> <p>Where's the bread recipe from? I want to reach out &amp; steal a slice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549626 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 16:07:56 +0000 abc 1549626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving your casual looks. &nbsp;Looking forward to your Sept posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549537 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:30:57 +0000 Anonymous 1549537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those bandaids end up being $1 each!

I understand about feeling fuddy duddy. Cons definitely help </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549519 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 14:00:20 +0000 jackiec 1549519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly have a good formula going on! Great looks! But you had me at baking... That's my fav activity too. What an intriguing recipe you've made! For me yesterday it was finally conquering macarons (but I digress). I'm laughing about those bandaids - they are so awesome but so expensive. I freak out when I see that my kids have used those to cover up a minor scratch or scrape on their arms or legs. Not the good ones!!!</p> <p>But back to you - YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549488 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 12:55:18 +0000 Elly 1549488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've used those blister bandages before and they are amazing! <br />You look great, fall dressing really suits you. I love the two layered looks and the spotty tank as worn here is really growing on me. I hope the Fryes wear in well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549424 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 07:20:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1549424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like no 31 the best. Very urban cool. Nos 28 and 29 are my next favourite. I think the shape of the skirt in 28 suits you very well. And I like the bit of belt peeking out.<br /> And remember: fryes are worth suffering for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549401 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 05:26:25 +0000 Ankita 1549401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh....naaaaaice! Shame your shoes are biting you, somehow ALL my shoes bite me... so I've pretty much done a Phd by now I'm having sore feet breaking into them. I always have a pack of band aids in my bag and a good balm that i always rub on my feet and on the shoes to stop them from rubbing against my skin, but i know how bad it hurts... hope your's break in soon :)</p> <p>I'm loving 27, 30 &amp; 31 :)</p> <p>The cake looks so so good!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549359 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 03:32:45 +0000 Jenn 1549359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that everyone liked #31. That was my favorite, too. I'm looking forward to a return to jeans and jackets soon. So tired of summer skirts and dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Smittie -&nbsp;</b>I do like the straight legs. I think they balance me out a bit, but I always fret about the length, and sometimes I feel a little fuddy duddy in them. The Cons help.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz -&nbsp;</b>I just discovered these new (to me, at least) gel bandages for blisters that are amazing. They're basically like putting that top layer of skin back on while the blister heals, and I'm virtually pain-free with a couple of these on my heels today!</p> <p><b>shevia -&nbsp;</b>"Saucy," hee!</p> <p><b>Maneera -&nbsp;</b>Definitely happier this week, although some of that is just because it's been slightly cooler, which gives me more options. Thinking about my September challenge, which will probably involve playing with layers for our vast temperature differentials.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549343 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 02:58:14 +0000 Maneera 1549343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 29, 30 &amp; 31. You look happier in your clothes this week </p> <p>I particularly love the last one! Hope you break into your new oxfords soon enough. Your poor feet </p> <p>You did so well in August, Jenn. Time for another challenge?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549283 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 00:38:39 +0000 Jaime 1549283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#29 and #31 particularly grabbed me.

But ouch -- your poor feet!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope the shoes turn out to be worth the pain.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your first and last outfits especially. You've clearly figured out what works for you shopping. Important to be able to take shoes off quickly, for sure. The top is flattering with the jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>And the jacket/ Cons look is one I always love.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549174 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 20:54:50 +0000 Angie 1549174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yum and thanks.

Do you like the straight leg? I like the combo of chucks and blazer (dressed up dressed down thing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549143 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 20:19:34 +0000 Jenn 1549143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie -&nbsp;</b>Of course!

I like #31 best because you look swish in a blazer matched with Chucks.&nbsp;</p> <p>And may I have a slice of that cake?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549108 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:40:41 +0000 Jenn 1549108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a teacher, <b>Thirkellgirl.&nbsp;</b>I'm a parent of a high schooler. :)</p> </p> <p><b>WL -&nbsp;</b>I can't even tell you. SO excited, even if I do have to shed layers every afternoon.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549106 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:38:39 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1549106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look cute as a button. Onnnnnly caveat is...I don't know what grade you teach, but do you think Chucks are dressy enough to meet parents? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549101 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:36:54 +0000 Alassë 1549101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 28 + 29 best, along with 31 as a cooler-weather/darker toned look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549097 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:32:58 +0000 Word Lily 1549097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you as thrilled about at least occasional layering days as I am? :D&nbsp;</p> <p>My faves are probably 27, 30 and 31. You look really polished and awesome in 31. I like that you wore the dress as a skirt, too. I think you'll be the person I'll ask when I'm able to formulate my question about wearing plaid, if that ever happens.</p> <p>Sorry your oxfords aren't broken in yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stripes-plaid-oxfords#post-1549083 Mon, 31 Aug 2015 19:04:43 +0000 Jenn 1549083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray! I managed to snap a photo every single day in August. Here are my last five days, along with a bonus pic for the snack-lovers. :)</p> <p>27 - Skinny jeans and leopard(ish) shell with ballet flats and a big necklace. I went out shopping on this day and this is my go-to uniform for trying on clothes. Most tops have to work with these jeans, and I hate untying and retying shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>28 - Easy Friday at home, packing shop orders and baking. I wore the new Frye oxfords around the house to work on breaking them in, along with my denim skirt and striped linen tee. &nbsp;I had an apron over this for much of the day as I made the lovely bread in photo #2 -- it's a chocolate chipotle milk stout zucchini bread, made with local beer and zucchini from our garden. SO GOOD.</p> <p>29 - Cookout and game day with friends. Eddie Bauer dress worn as a skirt with J. Crew Factory striped tee and the oxfords. I obviously didn't break them in enough on Friday, because we walked about three miles running errands in the morning and my feet were rubbed raw. Good thing I had slippers tucked into my bag!</p> <p>30 - Hang-around-the-house day in denim skirt, layering tank, and flannel shirt. My feet hurt so much I didn't even put on slippers, much less shoes. Oh, and my hair didn't suddenly change color. The lighting is just weird.</p> <p>31 - Errands today, followed by parents' night at the school this evening. I'm wearing trouser jeans with a black layering tank, ponte blazer, and Chuck Taylors.</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
