Very Audrey in winter. You guys are getting me interested in the Kit and Ace brand. They have a store opening here soon. Now I am quite excited about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637677 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 03:48:46 +0000 Anne-Marie 1637677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing I would change about this outfit. You look amazing, classy, luxurious, and, if I may be a bit crass, rich. That's the biggest compliment I can give to a look.</p> <p>I was in graduate school in Chicago with a woman who befriended me, despite our being from very different backgrounds. She wore real full-length shearling, and cashmere, all tawny neutral colors and white or black, and unobtrusive organic looking jewels, if any (nothing faux, no stones), very little makeup and no hairspray. She was gracious and kind, a real class act. Her name is Tracey; 25 years on, and she remains my #1 style icon.</p> <p>This is a Tracey outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637670 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 03:40:30 +0000 Anonymous 1637670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ballet flats are perfect. Delicate, graceful, and the perfect pop of colour to give your tired feet energy. I love pointed-toe flats for the elegance they add to an outfit without having to resort to heels. These are the perfect 20-minute purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637658 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 03:18:22 +0000 Jaime 1637658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love red flats - hope you've had some rest at home by now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637656 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 03:12:51 +0000 rachylou 1637656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best looking comfort clothes ever.

Thanks for sharing that the toe box is wider, mulling over the pink pair now. The red looks great with the black and I can imagine the metallic top adding some great subtle shine, too. Sorry to hear you've been away from home so long. Sounds like to get to go back soon, though! Woohoo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637615 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 01:40:58 +0000 Karie 1637615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear flats almost every day as I am always on my feet, so thanks lisp for the link to the article (although I have a feeling I'm going to want to buy a pair of lace up ballet flats after I read it!). Vivian, I think your flats look fab and give a nice punch of color to your outfit. I hope you get to go home very soon!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637594 Fri, 01 Apr 2016 00:48:21 +0000 Anonymous 1637594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, right? &nbsp;Same here.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637577 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 23:45:29 +0000 viva 1637577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read Lisa's article and now I feel I must find a pair of lace up ballet flats, toute de suite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637503 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:56:34 +0000 Cassie Lyons 1637503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit! And I love the red flats!&nbsp; I'm always so jealous of people who can wear flats.&nbsp; They always fall off my feet even the kind that have the elastic around the edge, with socks, without socks, one size too small, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637498 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 20:30:10 +0000 Liz Selby 1637498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the asymmetrical cut of your top.

This was a great read, and perfect timing now that spring is coming. (or...will be here in the next 6 weeks.) I'm bookmarking this one. Round toed ballet flats (esp with knee length skirts or full length pants) have always seemed dowdy/too prim to me (maybe because my style already veers in the direction of 'proper'). This gives me some great tips! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637459 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 17:39:08 +0000 Anonymous 1637459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://dresslikeaparisian.com/how-to-wear-ballet-flats/">http://dresslikeaparisian.com/.....let-flats/</a></p> <p>Sorry - my mind is like a sieve.....</p> <p></p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637422 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 15:35:46 +0000 Roxanna 1637422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>@viva</b> - love those cute flats and those pants are perfect on you!</p> <p><b>@lisap </b>- can you track down that article you mentioned?

I cannot even imagine anymore - those trips used to about kill me. Anyways - great shoes! &nbsp;I've been toying with the idea of ballet flats (as per a recent blog post by who - Goop, or Garance? about &nbsp;how to wear them properly and what to buy &nbsp;) and these are perfect. &nbsp;I think I've fondled them lovingly in store a couple of times. &nbsp;Must keep a further eye out - and red is the best colour ever. &nbsp;You're also reminding me to get out my KA pants - I wore them so much in Jan/Feb I was ready to burn them, but they are good for this transitional weather too, aren't they? &nbsp; Glad to hear you are winging your way home today:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/working-in-comfort-and-new-ballet-flats#post-1637371 Thu, 31 Mar 2016 12:49:47 +0000 kimlee 1637371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you have taken a simple and comfortable outfit to the next level with your scarf and shoes.

My best discovery was a few days ago when I checked into a Marriott Courtyard and found they had a laundry room. It was glorious to put on just-out-of-the-dryer pjs that night! </p> <p>Today I am going for comfort as I am running on fumes: Kit and Ace cropped pants, black metallic sweater, and scarf. For color and fun, red ballet flats I picked up during a 20-minute pass through the local mall yesterday. They're JCrew (who else, right?), cut a little wide at the bunion area so good for my feet, and pretty comfy so far (and on sale).</p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
