Fashionable? Maybe not. Fun? You betcha!</p> <p>I've gotten a number of shoes from GoJane over the past few years, and while I have qualms about fast fashion, it can be difficult to find some of the items I truly like and appreciate in high end shops, at a price I can afford to pay, even if I save up (I'm not paying hundreds of dollars for burnt orange skimmers with a face on and studs. I *will* pay $20 for them, though, in a heartbeat). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1023042 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:54:51 +0000 Sara L. 1023042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the sweater and cut-out booties together.&nbsp; I also have very non-fussy feet and can get by in cheap shoes (I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I shop at Payless).&nbsp; I'm thinking about getting a pair&nbsp;of cut-out boots to go with tights this winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1023030 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:39:35 +0000 ClaraT 1023030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your detailed reply! very helpful. I do think cheap is sometimes the way to go to try out trends.</p> <p>The booties&nbsp;look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1023005 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:15:05 +0000 AnnieMouse 1023005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clara, I wore them to a concert the other night, and walked several blocks to/ from the venue. Because they are clearly not high quality, I've noticed a variance (beware, I have no idea what the actual terminology is for shoe anatomy, so this will sound utterly ridiculous). </p> <p>On the buckles,&nbsp;the pin do-jibby that goes through the holes on the strap to hold it in place, varies - on my black ones, the back side of it isn't quite closed and has a pointy bit that kinda stabs me in the ankle. I covered the backside of the buckle with a bit of mileskin and presto, no problems. On my tan/camel/ whatever you call it ones, there is no edge, and I have not had to do that. </p> <p>I have never had a problem with going barefoot in shoes - I blame all the Gidget movies I watched as a kid, where she rocked Keds sans socks -but I also have the world's least fussy feet. While these are a little swamp-foot due to the pleather, it's not too bad, and I had a bit of rubbing on my pinkie toe on the right,&nbsp;but&nbsp;no other problems to report.&nbsp;I haven't yet worn them with socks, but I am looking forward to styling them with tights when it gets cooler. Along those same lines, I'm looking forward to playing with <a href="http://www.asianicandy.com/collections/blogger-favorites/products/2xbcmpu5" rel="nofollow">these </a>with tights and socks, too, for a very different look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022974 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:52:57 +0000 ClaraT 1022974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cut it out booties. </p> <p>Question: are they comfortable without socks (comfortable = can walk, say, 4 or 5 flat city blocks)? Do you like how they look with socks? </p> <p>I agree, I may try them at that price, but I'm not sure about the sock issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022947 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:25:19 +0000 cobaltblue 1022947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the oversized sweater! No help on the jeans, but I look forward to seeing your next attempts at styling them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022934 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:19:24 +0000 AnnieMouse 1022934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, it's important to note here that, for me, "schlumpy" is not a negative, just a descriptor. I kinda like schlumpy, frankly, and it's just as important in my fashion vernacular as fitted or body con or anything else. It's just less glamourous to showcase *laugh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022933 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:19:03 +0000 CocoLion 1022933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #3! &nbsp;Great sweater.</p> <p>As for the leopard jeans, try a tonal look with a long cream or taupe tunic. &nbsp;You may need to purchase something to make this work. &nbsp;Light colored jeans are tricky to style IMO. &nbsp;I have a pale pair of tuxedo stripe jeans from Rag &amp; Bone and I am forever trying new combinations to make them work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022887 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:43:19 +0000 AnnieMouse 1022887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicky, it is way too big for me. That's one of the things I love most about it. I adore oversized sweaters and always have. In summer, they are nice and roomy with lots of airflow, so I don't overheat. In winter, I can shove a bunch of layers under it and stay warm. It may not be fashionable, but it is one of my hallmarks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022868 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:29:23 +0000 Vickie KY 1022868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last picture was better. The color marled effect is nice in the sweater from your grandmother. If it fits like the picture is showing&nbsp; - it is way too big on you. It looks like you could get a second person in there.&nbsp; Don't give up on those animal print pants. They look like they fit so nice and they are so cute. Keep experimenting.<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022248 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 22:36:02 +0000 AnnieMouse 1022248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WFH = work from home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022185 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 21:17:57 +0000 JulieJohn 1022185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is WFH? Nice outfits, and it was fun reading about your process. In any case, things fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022158 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:56:16 +0000 Beth Ann 1022158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have those days.&nbsp; Wait....I had one today!&nbsp; My nemesis was a mild-mannered, Clark Kent, blue and white striped button down.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think your plan to work with lighter colors, or perhaps sharper lines and structure, in the topper is spot on.&nbsp; Ooh, sorry, bad pun.</p> <p>Also, I'd try with brights, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wfh-dentist-schlumpy#post-1022089 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:14:29 +0000 AnnieMouse 1022089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today, nothing was working. I started with <br />1) some light leopard jeans (Lucky via eBay, in an attempt to upgrade my cheapo leopards) and a pretty blue batwing (Gap, I think? Thrifted a few years ago)&nbsp;blouse, with my DIY boots, but I wasn't feeling it. <br />2) I thought maybe a sweater (hand-me-down from my grandmother) in the same tone family might work, but not so much. <br />3) I finally gave up and just put on my beloved 505s with the sweater, and popped on the tan/ camel version of the <a href="http://www.gojane.com/87852-shoes-cut-it-out-buckle-boots.html" rel="nofollow">Cut It Out </a>bootie (at that price, I could totally buy both and mix them up for the season, depending on my mood - this is how I duplicate)</p> <p>I'm kinda bummed about the leopard jeans. I've really found the other two pairs I've bought to be super-flexible, working themselves into myriad outfits with ease, so I thought I'd go ahead and snag a "real" pair in a "real brand" (the ones I bought are very, very cheap and bag easily, but were sufficient to my needs of trying on a trend before I committed funds to it). I think the main drawback on these is they don't have the dark defining edge that the others do, so they look a bit awkward with dark colours. I will try them with a white or cream top and a topper, to see how that works, but right now, I just feel GRRR about them. </p>
