You certainly do look fantastic in all the other outfits, boot and all. Agree that you should keep the dress and I like the length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-2405724 Fri, 06 Feb 2026 16:59:41 +0000 Alix 2405724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kelly! I came back to this post of yours because unfortunately I just had to have an orthopedic procedure on my feet, and I'm working back into "real" shoes after the boot. I have an ankle brace I have to wear for about a month, and then have to figure out which shoes will be comfortable and stable enough to wear after that. I wasn't able to see any of your photos, probably since it's been so long since your surgery. Do you by any chance still have any photos you could share of your orthopedic-friendly outfits? (post-boot) Thank you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-952580 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:42:51 +0000 Vix 952580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi KG --&nbsp;</p> <p>I was going to congratulate you on the milestone -- weight-bearing woo hoo -- but now have to add congrats on the baring, ha! My vote is for bikini&nbsp;#2. </p> <p>Still impressed you're not in yoga pants with all this.&nbsp;My favorite combinations are ones where the black sandal is in play since it mimics the straps of the brace/boot. You may start a crazy trend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-952573 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:35:21 +0000 Lisa 952573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great bikini figure!&nbsp; I really like the blue suit, the cut of the bottom makes your legs look long.&nbsp; And you are dressing so fab with your boot.&nbsp; I wish some people in my area could take note, they don't look even half as fab and they are bootless.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-952211 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:39:38 +0000 bj1111 952211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you are so bikini ready. Love the black and blue. And that dress in #2 is so so cute.</p> <p>How does it feel being back "real" clothes and the rest of your closet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951858 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:03:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 951858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU LOOK GORGEOUS in both those swimsuits Kelly - I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Which one is more comfortable?</p> <p>Your outfits are fab as usual and YES to keeping that dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951434 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 03:44:15 +0000 Karie 951434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your abs are a mess, then mine must be a train wreck! Seriously, I don't see an ounce of fat on you! I have a slight preference for bathing suit #2. That's too bad about the board shorts, that's my favorite style. You look fab in all your other outfits. Glad to see you are healing so nicely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951427 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 03:15:34 +0000 marit 951427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is fantastic - keep it! I love a large graphic punch and it looks so comfortable! I really like the second bikini on you, the shape of it &amp; the color on you just looks much more flattering to me, but I am so biased against skirt bottoms on swimsuits. You are definitely rocking those bikinis! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951420 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 02:57:13 +0000 abc 951420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How is it that you are wearing a walking cast/boot and look So. Darn. Fab?</p> <p>All around keepers and awesome outfits. &nbsp;Love the way you put the outfits together and the cast just seems to melt into the background.</p> <p>And the bikinis, man, I wish someday I could look that good. &nbsp;Why not keep both and mix it up a bit when you feel like wearing something different? &nbsp;At TJMaxx prices why not? &nbsp;Enabler here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951379 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 01:33:45 +0000 Jjsloane 951379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ACK that dress is amazing on you! KEEP<br />If I could wear a 2 piece like you I'd be all over it. I like the bottom on the red one and the top on the 2nd best so maybe a style that combines them?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951377 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 01:29:47 +0000 DonnaF 951377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking great!&nbsp; I like the 2nd (blue) suit better because I think the top and bottom are a better balance if that makes any sense.&nbsp; I am also trying to figure out if the suit is my preference simply because it is the type of style I might have wanted to wear ummm 45 years ago.&nbsp; And now, too, if I could! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951353 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 01:05:17 +0000 Eliza 951353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good. I am on team #2 for bathing suit. &nbsp;I think the V of the halter is what is making me lean that way. &nbsp;Happy deciding. &nbsp;Like the dress and the long black shorts on you a lot also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951347 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 00:57:45 +0000 JulieJohn 951347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, full weight bearing! I am so excited for you, you are healing like a champ! Thanks for the bikini pics, you look great! I prefer #2 but they're both cute, why not get both? I really like the dress, such a gorgeous graphic print, and it looks great on you. Your shoes in both sets of pix are so fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951326 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 00:13:05 +0000 Glory 951326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You write the best posts :). I say YES to the dress - what a great find! I guess it was meant to be.<br />My goodness girl that bikini modelling won't make anyone sqeamish. Can you keep both or have a need for both? If not, I cannot decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951312 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 23:55:49 +0000 pil 951312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Winners all around, Kelly! I love the striped top in the first pic and the dress is a definite keeper. You look terrific in a swim suit! I prefer 2 over 1, not that I can say why though. Maybe because there is more "movement" in them with the halter staps and waist detail as opposed to the rectangular looks of the top and skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951311 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 23:53:34 +0000 texstyle 951311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good lady!&nbsp; Wow - you are brave but should not be embarrassed at all as you look great in your bathing suits. I prefer #2 for the shape. The first one has too many horizontal "lines" I think. Love your boot outfits - every one of them. My inspiration for the summer. sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951249 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:18:08 +0000 catgirl 951249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thighs chafe if I DON'T wear board shorts! &nbsp;All that flab rubbing directly... but that's TMI. &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, so they have cute skirt bottoms too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951242 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:14:02 +0000 kellygirl 951242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ceit and Alicat: lol! You are enablers. I don't really need more than one. They were pretty inexpensive though--part of my TJMaxx haul. Thanks for the Cast Style compliment, Alicat. I would have become depressed if I started moping around in sweats, I'm afraid. I had to dress to maintain my mental health.&nbsp;<br />@Una: I can't wear board shorts--they give me thigh chafe. It's awful--I think because my thighs are so big. It could be genetic though because DD#2 with the skinniest thighs on earth got it the other day at the water park. Great suggestion though. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951238 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:08:22 +0000 catgirl 951238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about board short bottoms? &nbsp;Athleta has some great ones - i have the black and they are versatile and can be worn in public. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951237 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:08:15 +0000 Anonymous 951237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, you look great in a bikini, Kelly!!! &nbsp;I like both of them. &nbsp;Can you keep both?&nbsp;</p> <p>And you should get some kind of award for cast style. &nbsp;Looking better than most people who aren't in a boot!</p> <p>Great new dress, too. &nbsp;So pretty with your coloring.</p> <p>Stellar job all the way around! &nbsp;*faints* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951235 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:07:28 +0000 Anonymous 951235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt of the first suit with the halter of the second but you look gorgeous in both of them.</p> <p>Love your new dress and your recent outfits are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951232 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:04:45 +0000 kellygirl 951232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Mona: Lol--it's not, <i>trust me</i>. A vote for the skirt--thanks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951225 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:59:50 +0000 Mona 951225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you look so good in this swimsuits, both of them. I prefer #1 slightly over #2 and I dont know why you are working on your midsection as it looks perfectly toned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951218 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:56:35 +0000 kellygirl 951218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol! Aww, thanks, Una. My midsection is a mess these days but&nbsp;I'm working on it. I liked the skirted one the best but wasn't sure if the top emphasizes my width. I thought the skirt&nbsp;made my butt look less flat than the other bottom. </p> </p> <p>@Caro: Thanks! Angie always picks the best dresses. I thought I missed out on it because it sold out at Nordstrom. Imagine my surprise to find it at the discount store. That cut is a good one for me, I think. I just wasn’t sure about the pattern in the midsection. Yes, FWB is awesome!</p> <p>@sarah: Thank you. Idk about rocking the bikini--I just don’t want to look ridiculous. I have a feeling you look awesome in a bikini, btw. Pilates, yoga, biking--yes, I have no doubt you would look terrific (comfortable is another thing.) Another vote for the halter--hmm, that’s interesting. Thanks for the thumbs up on the dress and the WIW’s!&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951212 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:53:43 +0000 sarah 951212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, Kelly. You can SOOO rock a bikini. I like #2 better. It's more flattering all around. I can only dream of wearing a bikini, as much as I try and try to get to a point where I'd feel comfortable.</p> <p>LOVE the dress. Definitely keep!</p> <p>Love your weight-bearing style, especially the striped top versions. Super fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951211 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:53:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 951211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of these - the dress in #2 is just fantastic keep imo. You look lovely in a swim suit - honestly </p> <p></p> <p>ETA - great news about the boot :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951210 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:50:33 +0000 catgirl 951210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness, Kelly - if I looked like you in a swimsuit I'd be wearing one to work!I like the cut of the second one better, although I normally don't love halters. &nbsp;You look FANTASTIC! &nbsp;Seriously, I do not lie about such matters.</p> <p>And your weight-bearing style is TDF.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-full-weight-bearing-in-my-boot-krs#post-951209 Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:45:56 +0000 kellygirl 951209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Peeps! Life is much better now that I'm ambulatory without crutches. I've got this nifty boot that allows me to walk to my heart's content (within reason)--I won't be winning any distance races though. The straps dig into my under-padded calf so it's not like I forget it's there but it's WAY better than crutches. Here are some recent WIW's just to prove that I'm not walking around in gear :)</p> <p>K/R: Maggie London dress. It was one of Angie's picks that I found at TJMaxx. I think it's a keeper but thought I'd run it by you just in case. It's not the petite--regular size 6. Length feels right to me. Do you agree?&nbsp;</p> <p>K/R: Swim suits. (This is so embarrassing. I can't believe I'm posting these but I'd rather hear from you than face snickers out in public.)&nbsp;For you squeamish ones, avert your eyes. I have a racing suit but wanted something a little cuter for the beach and pool&nbsp;(but I'm not sure either of these are it.) Do you think one is better than the other or should I look for a tankini? You can't hurt my feelings--I'm my own worst critic. DD#1 liked both of these. I thought they looked better in the dressing room--darn skinny mirrors! (Excuse the weird sandal choice but it's the right height for my boot.)</p> <p>Thanks in advance. Hope every one is enjoying their summer! </p>
