Peep toe ankle sandals for fall

I commented in one of Angie's forum threads, that recently I do lots of bl&w, greys outfits and don't mind color for now. This usually happens to me regularly end of autumn/winter only-but I craved it earlier for end of summer-and, to be honest for all the current year:-).

Here are some outfits all worn last week.

The peep toe ankle sandals were kind of HEWI for me.
I admired them for so long on our fab Debs from Oz but did not have very much outfits(or guts) to wear them(with). I bought and wore them in spring http://http//youlookfab.com/we.....suals-2015 with white jeans and some dresses but then just couldn't figure how to adapt them to our otherwise hot summers and my quite classic wardrobe. Guess I needed to have somehow cooler weather, the long cardi:-) or some time to munch on them...haha.

It's 10°C-14°C when I'm leaving my home at 8,00-8,20 a.m. but I'm driving all my way to my office -so I find them quite adequate if sunny and dry. My office is sunny and warm and in the afternoons gets around 18-20°C. All are work outfits.

1-3. I couldn't find me a maxi cardi for almost an year. This one is also not an expensive one, but it made the trick for experiencing the look. Other then my rings, and studs

I did not wear jewellery for so long now that I have been really surprised the outfit craved a longer necklace-so after much debating I still put it on-and felt OK. How does it feel to you?

4. It is the super lemming striped tube:-) I have for some years now, and still cannot tire of wearing it, so comfy. I have several tops to go with it, in different weights-for different weather conditions. Here it is a loose knit, short dolman sleeve one-sorry you cannot see it. It all felt freshened up with the sandals.

5-6. Is also a tube from last year or so. Pattern is taking bit after a rich tweed in several neutrals, including navy, grey and taupe.Trying to show the metallic fleur de lis details on the knitted short sleeve top I wear it with. Jacket is also old, love it's texture-(it is partial waxed).

Question if you have similar shoes, what kind of weather conditions are you wearing them?

Thanx for looking, your feedback is always appreciated!

Oh, and can somebody explain why i can NOT load another page of items (aka own threads) on my personal page in the forum? I do have only one page, but I have been around more then 7 yrs, and loved to look back from time to time but I wasn't able to so now..:-(.

Well you certainly have figured out how to wear those peep toe booties! They look gorgeous in all your outfits. I also love the long sweater, which looks great with the long necklace.
I'd email Greg about the problems you've been having. Do you have problems with other websites, and have you tried using a different browser? My computer has an older version of Safari (5.1.10) and have been having issues with some websites not loading properly (not YLF yet), and when that happens I use a different browser/newer version (Firefox) and everything works fine.

Your shoes look good with all the outfits! I tend to wear mine only when I go out with DH in the warm weather. As soon as the temps drop a bit, I go back to boots, but I run cold.

And aI think the necklace works well here. Good choice!

I love the booties!

Love all three outfits but #1 is my FAVOURITE! Man, that necklace is so so lovely on you! The simple yet polished outfit has such classy proportions and finishing touches....you look fabulous, Lyn!

These are great outfits! I especially like #1 with that fabulous necklace. I have similar booties and I wear mine in the fall and spring. It's too hot for them in the summer and I prefer my toes covered up in the winter. They're perfect for the cool mornings and warm afternoons that happen in the fall and spring.

Lovely outfits; my fave is #1. And I love that necklace! Would you mind sharing which one it is and where you purchased it (if it's still available)?

Lyn, you look amazing!! These are some of my favourite outfits of yours ever!!! I love the way these oh-so-current shoes increase the "cool" factor and allow your classic pieces to shine. #1 is brilliant!! Like you, I also went with a less expensive version of the long cardigan (also in grey) and I found it a workhorse last year and expect to use it a lot this year also. It surprised me how easy it was to style. I think it will also work for you with all your pencil skirts/ tube skirts/ and slim trousers/ jeans.

I have shoes like this and I only just put them away a few days ago. We had a cold day or two (about 10 for the high) and it seemed too cool. Now, of course, it is back to 16 during the day! I would definitely wear them in that situation.

So I wore mine in Israel in the spring (March) on the warmer days there. (It was about 15 or 16). Then I wore them constantly in Canada in late April through mid June, plus a few times in the high summer when I was going to be on an air conditioned train or if the day was not so hot. Then I began to wear them once again in mid- to late August, and wore them steadily through September. This gave some nice variety from the more open sandals.

Your last question first: If there's an arrow next to "page 1," just touch it, and the next page will load. There may not be other actual numbers showing to select, but the pages are there.

Okay, on to the phenomenal outfits. I especially like the first one, because you are showing me a way to wear the new long black and white marled knit cardi that I got. What a great outfit on you; the necklace is perfect and the peep-toe booties with the rolled pant legs are wonderful.
I love your skirt outfits, too. Those sandal-booties are so modern, and they fit right in with your classic pieces. I love your white jean jacket and your black leather-look waxed one.
All these items are still looking very current, regardless of how long you've had them.

I have peep-toe booties (mine have a closed heel) that I wear in summer when it's not all that hot, or early fall or late spring when it's not too cold. I didn't wear them that much this summer, mostly because I was not wanting such a high heel on many days, but I still like them a lot. Here are a few looks with them--worn with skinnies, harem pants, and slouchy straight legs.

Ah! I am on the hunt for shoes like this - already proving to be a HEWI for me Your outfits look fantastic, I never would have guessed from the photos that these were once difficult for you to style.

For #1-3 I think your necklace selection is spot on. The outfit needs an extra element of interest, and the fact that it is long draws the eye down and towards your awesome shoes! I think it would feel unfinished without the necklace. So, to answer your question, it feels just right to me.

I live in Florida, so I feel your pain on not knowing how to get wears out of ankle boots in summertime. But, I found that when fall weather does come I'm extra excited to wear my ankle boots, so I'm okay with them being unwearable for a good chunk of the year.

Wow 1 is perfect on you - the fit, drape, lines and colours are very elegant. Really nicely done!

Your other looks are great too, the tube knit skirt is certainly wonderful on you!

Really great outfits Lyn! You look fantastic in the long cardigan/necklace/booties combo - and I have a version of these shoes too. My wearing of them is exactly like Suz's: they're wearable from April - Octoberish in my world

Great little booties, and working really nicely in these outfits. LOVE #1 in particular. That cardigan looks maxi enough and should be fun over winter; the marled coloring will add some nice texture and color depth too.

Love these outfits! My peep toe booties got a ton of wear in Toronto, but the season for them here is going to be summer, sadly. Rock it!

Great outfits! And I love no 1 in particular. Necklace and booties are fab. I have similar booties and wear them as an alternative to pumps (I don't wear pumps) in the warmer weather. To me they read dressier than sandals. I also like them because they are more like boots and I find it hard to stay away from boots. YLF!

Shoes are fantastic and add so much to all the outfits. I also love the long necklace in #1. I have wore open toe style booties in weather from 70s and up, which covers most of our year here. I tend to run cold.

Thank you very much all of you ladies-your kind words made me blush and the answers ref. when to wearing the peeptoe bootie sandals also very very helpful!! My wardrobe is rather classic, so perhaps, other than the appropiate weather, here comes the difficulty in wearing them more often.

Suz: My gratitude for spliting me up and explaining me the seasons so I can really understand when and why, and of course your compliment blew me away:-).

Firecracker: Thanx for the inspiration picties, your taupe booties and the outfits are also great! And oh yes, the arrow works, but I actually thought of using the "load another page of items" tab down the page when looking at my site by having the front picties of my threads open and visible (not like a list).

Thanx Karie: I have google chrom and internet explorer but will see if it works with another browser better.

Danskogirl: Sorry, but the long necklace is rather old, and no ideea where it was purchase(but I am in the EU, anyway:-)).

OMGoodness, what an amazing set of outfits! I would NEVER guess the shoes were a reach for you, you look so natural in them. #1 completely blew me away, you look so chic and modern. And the necklace is perfect... the length compliments the cardigan beautifully.

I have similar shoes and found I wore them in the spring/early summer, then again in the late summer. They were too hot and heavy looking for the "real" summer. But they are so so perfect with rolled or short pants at this time of year. I wore mine out to dinner a couple of nights ago with the pants below. We are still at "late summer" weather here, mid teens, so I am trying to get wears in on items like this before pulling out the booties for good.

#1 is my absolute favorite. Those slim pants with the loooong cardigan and peep-toe booties are all so good together. You look tall, sophisticated, approachable, and completely at-ease with yourself.

OMG Angie, I'm off to heaven, now:-). For wearing pants more often I have to find a way to cover my bum, hips and tummy:-)...so the actual trends are favorable for me now (love the longer lengths and fluid fits on top). This is the only way I can imagine myself to wear more often pants again.
Thanx Elisabeth for the pictie, I know you have similar shoes-will stalk them on your earlier posts, and Jenn-you are so sweet:-).

These are sll fm fabulous anx jusg the right blend of modern & classic- so, very " classy"! What I like is that the outfits seem very " you" - I think partly because your items have a very good fit; just the right size & length.
