Perhaps tuck away the laces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1156393 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 14:28:43 +0000 AJ 1156393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl - they are b.o.c. by Born. The style is Sheree.</p> <p>Thanks everyone for chiming in. I'm going to return them and keep looking. Even though the fit on the calves is perfect, the warm brown and the suede material was not what I was looking for and I should hold out for PPP. Plus they are probably a half size too big.</p> <p>&lt;sigh&gt; The hunt continues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1156336 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 12:51:30 +0000 April 1156336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, so good to see you!</p> <p>I think you've done a good job mixing the "earthy" vibe of these boots with more modern pieces in #4 and #5. &nbsp;The problem with this kind of boot is that you do have to be careful that they don't start looking like part of a costume. &nbsp;Suede plus warm brown plus lace-up plus the shape is a whole lot of earthy. &nbsp;Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, it's just something to be aware when you create outfits -- which I think you've done here.</p> <p>How do the boots fit with your current style goals?</p> <p>I had a colleague at work who used to pair similar boots with a midi-length, fringe-trimmed skirt and kind of a poncho top, all in earthy colors and a Southwestern pattern. &nbsp;The first time I saw that outifit, I thought my school was having&nbsp;some theme day that I wasn't aware of, like "Dances with Wolves", or "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." &nbsp; You seem to be balancing this well and I don't get a costume feel from any of these combinations. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1156327 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 12:02:10 +0000 Marina 1156327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot agree with the statement these boots suit skirt or dresses at all. It looks like you'd like to mix two opposite styles into one, but this does not work. Boots and dress-styled outfits are good if separate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1156206 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 03:57:00 +0000 rae 1156206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the ankle is okay, then I don't think they are clompy. The slim calf fit is great and good for skirts. I like them best balanced with a casual jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1156200 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 03:51:46 +0000 catgirl 1156200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is the brand? I own a similar pair that I think Steve Madden. I like them but they are pretty. RATE. Also not sure of the ankle situation? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155946 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:33:41 +0000 Vicki 1155946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what's interesting to me is how I prefer them with your straight-skirted stylings in photos 4 and 5 over 1 and 2. &nbsp;If they fit your casual wear needs, I say go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155931 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 20:17:37 +0000 Beth Ann 1155931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi AJ!</p> <p>The fit is great and like the boots in general.&nbsp; I lthink they work with #4, but the shape of the toe and the brown suede read more casual/pant boot to me in general.&nbsp; With a more refined toe, a little heel, or in black, these would skew a bit dressier.&nbsp; Now, I'm with Suz -- sometimes we need a serious boot for practical reasons.&nbsp; If so, you likely have other combinations in your closet that would work, too.&nbsp; You are amazing in how well you style your items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155891 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 19:09:25 +0000 Suz 1155891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh. I know how difficult the boot hunt has been for you, AJ, but I'm not in love with these -- at least not with skirts and dresses. The shape of the toe does look a bit ...I don't know. Clompy? On the other hand, if they're filling a huge <b>NEED </b>vs. a fashion desire (i.e. you need boots to keep you warm and these are the only ones that fit you can find), well, perhaps that's okay?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155806 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 17:13:27 +0000 sarah 1155806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just what Susie said. They do have an "earth shoe" vibe going, with the rounded edges, so that my limit what you can wear with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155781 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 16:54:33 +0000 Liz A. 1155781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know about these boots, AJ. I liked them till I saw the bunching at the ankle. Not sure if they're ladylike enough for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155715 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 14:51:44 +0000 Meli 1155715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your clothing style looks more 'polished/classic' and the boots are more 'bohemian' from what I see here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155683 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 13:26:04 +0000 Susie 1155683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them! And I think they are good with the more casual options. I don't love them with the second outfit but with the others they look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155600 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 06:10:48 +0000 AJ 1155600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Adelpha, Debbie, and Catnip!</p> <p>Adelpha, it might be the way I'm standing, but I'll check on that.</p> <p>So these boots do not come off as clompy, combat-ish?</p> <p>I was originally looking for a very dark brown...does this color look fine with darker bottoms? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155593 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 05:57:11 +0000 Catnip 1155593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great boots!&nbsp; They look both comfortable and chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155586 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 05:49:41 +0000 Debbie 1155586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them on you. Looks like it solves the small calf problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155517 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 04:03:36 +0000 Adelfa 1155517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute! Question: on the inside of your right ankle the boot appears to cave in a little. Is this just the camera angle and if not does it bother you? Everything else looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-boots-for-me#post-1155500 Sun, 02 Feb 2014 03:41:58 +0000 AJ 1155500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack, I'm so needy today!&nbsp; : )</p> <p>Bought <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/boc-by-born-sheree-boots?ID=1073343" rel="nofollow">these boots</a>.&nbsp; The lace-ups really made the fit perfect for my calves.&nbsp; There's a full side zip.&nbsp; </p> <p>Please do not look too closely at the stylings...I was just throwing things on to see how well these boots would go with my skirts/dresses.&nbsp; I'm aiming for a casual dressy look.&nbsp; Do these suede wedge boots hit the mark?</p> <p>Appreciate all feedback.&nbsp; Thanks for putting up with me today!&nbsp; : ) </p>
