Hi Tes, none. Maybe I will have a nice comment from the public one day.
Thank you for yours!
The last denim skirt I posted was bought on BC Ferries when coming back from Vancouver Island. I was walking around in the gift shop on the ship and what luck to find a great skirt. It is made by Jag Jeans and was expensive but I did not care. One of the best skirts I have owned.jjjjohanne wrote:Where did you buy your denim skirts?
This look is a good investmentFeeling freedom wrote:I am changing financial institutions and had a meeting at the old one to finish closing accounts and then went to my new bank and had a meeting on investments. I wore a checkered blue collard shirt with a coral sweater. Works well with the blue denim (yes that skirt again....I just love it!) Black tights with black boots. It is like a "business casual" look.
I enjoy wearing this out.
Hey Feeling Freedom - looks like Winners is part of the Marshalls / TJX group. Any idea what size they go up to in boots? I've tried the website but it doesn't look like you can search their inventory. I'm working in Vancouver 10-12 Dec - I'll look out for youFeeling freedom wrote: I have the best luck at Winners. Quality leather riding boots are usually at cheapest $250.00 CDN and up in shoes stores but I can find them in Winners for $100.00. Good brands too! The tan boots are Naturalizer and my black ones are Ecco. I have even found Ralph Lauren boots there for $130.
The only women's footwear I've bought were size 12W (W means wide) from Penningtons, which is a Canadian retailer marketing to plus size women. That's about an 11 in men's sizes, (or 44 or 45 in Euro men's sizes). Tending to the tight side has so far been manageable by wearing only light hosiery...often lately just tights or pantihose. One of the boots is lace-up, which also makes it possible to adjust the tightness somewhat. Shopping the domestic women's plus-size retailers seems the best bet so far, since larger footwear tends to not be store stock, making returns policies paramount. Down in the USA, Torrid looks like an interesting women's plus-size retailer, with a much larger range of footwear products than I've found so far in Canada.FranTastic444 wrote:Great outfits - FF. Just the sort of thing I'd like to recreate for a New England Spring or fall.
I have a couple of challenges - currently carrying too much weight for such a look (beer belly on show - but I have a 15 week plan to drop at least 20lbs). The other problem I have is shoe size - I run a 45 Euro which makes it difficult to get boots easily / relatively cheaply. I did get a pair of 44's off eBay from a Chinese distributor. They are great for indoors dress-me-up but they are not leather and are a touch too small so I don't think they would be comfortable out on the road.
Right. In US sizes I wear a men's 10.5, which would usually be a women's 12, except that with men's size I wear fairly heavy socks while with women's it's much thinner tights, so I buy women's 11.Daryl wrote:...Tending to the tight side has so far been manageable by wearing only light hosiery...often lately just tights or pantihose...
