After reading your recommendation I looked around online and ended up ordering the sandals from Amazon. It's late in the season to buy sandals, but I never did find a good pair this year. Some Clarks work very well for my feet, but the last time I went into the local store they were so busy I gave up and left. I got a pair like yours for $60 at Amazon--the same ones were $100 at Zappos. Thanks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-viva-la-viveca#post-1540450 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 09:19:19 +0000 Ornella 1540450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am happy to announce that the paw stain did not survive the washing machine cycle Whiteness restored.</p> <p>Thank you <b>Diana, lyn67, Angie, viva, Aliona, Sara,&nbsp;shevia&nbsp;</b>*big hug*<b></b></p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b> :: I missed the old thread about foot twins, leaving it for some less busy times, so thanks for reminding me to read it and check what useful things I can learn there.</p> <p>I’m flattered you feel inspired to try high contrast looks more. Over the time I have come to rely on them as FFBO, something that I no longer need to deconstruct to understand why they work. I’ve been experimenting with very limited palette since last summer and while I will never give up on the colours that make me happy for whatever reason, I know I could live in b&amp;w. It feels right and it also feels enough. Life events over the past three years have instilled some additional discipline into my wardrobe and shopping habits, wrapped up by generous dose of education by Angie, YLF and also introspection (and let’s not forget my muse Flavia!), and I really like where I’m at.</p> <p><b>Una</b> :: wow, “like Janet” had me dropping my jaw. <br />p.s.<br />Photos are taken in living room, very early - the days will get shorter though and I’ll lose the daylight for them in a few weeks.</p> <p><b>Sveta</b> :: life has stabilized, that’s for sure. There are of course daily struggles, but I try to put them into perspective and their significance and grapple on my resources diminishes the more I ask myself “will this <i>really</i> be relevant one year from today?”. While we still have some niggles with the house, they are now more manageable. <br />The life-saver for me was getting the job - and especially *this* job and how I got it. Plus, the daily routine, people around me, sense of contribution and progression - all priceless. At this age and stage of my life it feels totally different than when I was 25 or 35. I have a lot to be grateful for and I am not losing that from my sight.<br />I’ll happily take JFE, thanks But even if it’s just one of those that we don’t need to explain but simply enjoy, that works for me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-viva-la-viveca#post-1540355 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 02:35:13 +0000 Sveta 1540355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sandals you never want to take off? Sounds like a real winner to me and they do work with everything in you summer wardrobe.<br />You look great - radiant and happy! It is amazing how a good job and having all house building worries behind you agrees with you :-)<br />Like Angie #2 is my favorite (and in my book little paw print is fab! )<br />I also do not agree that the striped &nbsp;shirt in #3 is unflattering - and the fact that you love it confirms it. Let's say it is Just Flattering Enough </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-viva-la-viveca#post-1540343 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 01:52:35 +0000 Jaime 1540343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favorite too.

You are perfection in black and white. I hope the trousers can be cleaned pronto so you can repeat that look. Just stunning. And I love how you've done your hair to go with each look, that delightful final touch. Yes, what a fab find those shoes are -- elegance and comfort! I hope I can find a pair for myself after your rave review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-viva-la-viveca#post-1540104 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 15:51:51 +0000 viva 1540104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these sandals and seeing them in all iterations is really helpful -- and it's also wonderful to see how your look can change so dramatically too. I loved going from Sunday to Monday: so fabulous! That Monday top is wonderful, and I love the pairing of the sandals with the black stripe on the sweater. So chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-viva-la-viveca#post-1540066 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 14:50:52 +0000 Angie 1540066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stylish each day, Ornella.

They say they ship to Australia so they should to Germany... even though the US dollar is a bit high at the moment... not sure of your size but maybe worth a look.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-viva-la-viveca#post-1539877 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 01:34:03 +0000 donnat 1539877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love all of your outfits.
