The booties are fine.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-893043 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 02:05:43 +0000 Angie 893043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the burgundy outfit too! You can wear that colour year round. <br /><br />The boots look fine to me. Not at all dated. <br /><br />You wear a bomber with the best of them, Denise! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892809 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:03:27 +0000 Diana 892809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have boots with this style of heel (although mine are a little wider at the base of the heel) and I think the look is great, not dated at all.&nbsp; I do find them slightly wobbly though.&nbsp; I'm another one who is not crazy about the shar-pei folds though, despite the fact that I'm actually wearing booties with them today (which will be replaced next fall).<br /><br />Love the burgundy outfit!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892785 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 21:34:33 +0000 Deborah 892785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the booties close ups. &nbsp;Clearly I am biased cos I just bought a similar bootie in&nbsp;red with folds like that. &nbsp;The heel on mine is a wedge. &nbsp;Seeing them close up, I think they are great. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892688 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:54:16 +0000 CocoLion 892688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So the folds are more dated or at least create more of a reaction than the cone heels. &nbsp;Interesting.<br /><br />Cathy, the tee is not Enza Costa. &nbsp;I returned both of the baseball tees to Shopbop, because I found 2 very similar ones from H&amp;M for $12.95 each. &nbsp;I have this one in black and grey and the other one is white and pale grey. &nbsp;Same fabric, but Enza requires dry cleaning whereas this one doesn't. &nbsp;Honestly I would have kept the Enza ones if they didn't require dry cleaning. &nbsp;What's up with that? &nbsp;<br /><br />And Una, the heels are still a little hard for me to walk in. &nbsp;They are Miss Sixty style "Iggy." &nbsp;I might just be attached to them for the name, being an Iggy Pop fan! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892673 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:34:28 +0000 annagybe 892673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Isabel Marant did a similar heel in Fall 2012 <a href="http://www.barneys.com/Isabel-Marant-Embroidered-Ankle-Boot/501977799,default,pd.html?cgid=women&#038;index=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.barneys.com/Isabel-.....38;index=0</a> I have more of a poison eye for the folds. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892664 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:27:19 +0000 catgirl 892664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had a pair of booties like that - I don't think they are dated, but they were absolutely impossible to walk in when it was icy or snowing, so I got rid of them. &nbsp; You don't have that problem, obviously!<br /><br />Your outfit rocks! &nbsp;And I wear my colors year round, regardless of season. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892645 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:02:26 +0000 kellygirl 892645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your WIW's. I like the burgundy. It looks great for an early spring evening--it's still chilly at night. I haven't put my burgundy jeans away yet. I'm thinking it might pair well with white for spring.<br /><br />Not sure about the booties. They don't look dated to me. If they are comfy, I would still keep them (but I'm not as fashion forward as you.)<br /><br />Love the bomber with the jeans. I didn't try that yet https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892638 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:55:26 +0000 cciele 892638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Burgundy-I like your outfit! I'd wear the color year-round, depending on the fabric.<br /><br />Booties-I don't think they look dated. But interested in seeing what you might do with the heel.<br /><br />Raglan shirt in #3: is that the Enza Costa shirt? whatever it is, I love it! :-)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892629 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 18:46:48 +0000 CocoLion 892629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks everyone. &nbsp;These shoes have a rather well-executed fold pattern that I don't mind. I posted close-ups above.<br /><br />It's more the cone heel that I don't like. &nbsp;And Suz, I don't consider the Report Marks to have an exaggerated cone heel. &nbsp;These are exaggerated. &nbsp;I will see if they can be re-heeled, it's worth investigating. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892528 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:48:48 +0000 Suz 892528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agree with Tina on the folds thing. I have a bit of a poison eye for that, too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892526 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:45:50 +0000 Tina.b 892526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Still dying over the bomber! I think you look great in the burgundy, I think it is more a fabrication thing.<br /><br />Cone heels are still around from what I've seen. And the boots look good in the pics. But, I have never liked any footwear with folds, I completely resisted when it was very popular. It must be my poison eye. Sharpei, that made me laugh! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892524 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 16:39:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 892524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't mind burgundy at all in the spring - or any season for that matter, depending on the fabric type and weight. And I love that bomber jacket on you - looks fantastic! I think the heel is find on the booties and don't find them dated at all. If they are comfy and you like them, keep on wearing them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892371 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:31:00 +0000 Suz 892371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Denise, I would wear burgundy through spring and even summer (in the right weight). But then our summers are a lot different from yours! Still, for evening, this looks casually elegant!&nbsp;<br /><br />Re the booties -- my Reports have a modified cone heel, I think - they are the Dicker copy cat bootie. The heel angles on one side but is straight on the other.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892336 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:29:47 +0000 Karie 892336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was out shopping last night and saw burgundy pants for spring - I think wearing burgundy is fine any time of year. As far as the boots, I still see people wearing cone heels, but what are Sharpei folds? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892317 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 11:26:16 +0000 pil 892317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ March + burgundy works fine to my eye. Had I seen you wearing those boots it wouldn't have occurred to me to think they are dated. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892298 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:47:12 +0000 Deborah 892298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Denise, I am still seeing this "cone" heel on current footwear. &nbsp;In fact I am a bit of a fan of this heel type. &nbsp;I say the booties look great.<br /><br />andni like your outfit. &nbsp;Brilliant for only 10 minutes! &nbsp;I don't worry too much about colours and seasons, so I think the burgundy is great. &nbsp;Looks great on you:)<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892295 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:38:28 +0000 Anonymous 892295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great supper outfit!<br /><br />i don't think the shoes are dated yet. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892291 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 10:35:02 +0000 Anonymous 892291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The burgundy looks fine. &nbsp;If it's a flattering color, the season doesn't matter. &nbsp;You could add a light or floral scarf if you feel too wintery.<br />i'll be watching this thread for what is said about the boots as I've got similar heels and folds on&nbsp;booties that didn't see much action this season when snow called for regular boots. &nbsp;They don't look dated to me yet.<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892266 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 09:21:11 +0000 Caro in Oz 892266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the burgundy - if it's cold it is cold no matter what the season imo - this is a great outfit on you.<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of the&nbsp;Sharpei folds but I agree the heels are still around. I'm becoming very picky with my footwear - if it isn't right = the outfit doesn't seem to work for me at the moment.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892250 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 07:06:54 +0000 Scarlet 892250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i></i>These still look good to me. I think Marant still does some cone heels. I am not sure why the folds are bad? It does seem like you are not in love with the boots though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-cone-heeled-shoes-dated-and-a-wiw#post-892248 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 06:27:49 +0000 CocoLion 892248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's a twofer for you:<br /><br />1. &nbsp;WIW today for a dinner party. &nbsp;This came together in about 10 minutes, if that (I actually wore the pants to work). &nbsp;March might be a little late for burgundy. &nbsp;What do you think? &nbsp;Do you feel weird wearing autumnal colors in Spring?<br /><br />2/3. &nbsp;Question about these booties. &nbsp;They are comfortable and I like the low ankle position. &nbsp;But the cone heels are a little teeter-y and dated. &nbsp;I've been thinking of getting them re-heeled. &nbsp;Or is it not worth it, given these shoes also have those Sharpei folds, another dead giveaway for their pre-YLF, 2010&nbsp;vintage. &nbsp;Sorry the pictures aren't very close-up, hope you can make out the overall look of them.<br /><br />Thanks for looking and&nbsp;weighing in!<br /><br />ETA -- added shoe close-ups
