I'm leaning toward the Trotters (like you said, Angie, I think they fit best with my style), but maybe I'll try the Steve Maddens also, just to see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-cognac-booties-for-fallbest-choice#post-683290 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 14:53:08 +0000 Angie 683290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Trotters best for your style. But it will ALL come down to comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-cognac-booties-for-fallbest-choice#post-683234 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:57:50 +0000 Anonymous 683234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, I think Cognac (I always call that tobacco brown, for some obscure reason) is a great choice; it's a nice 'zingy' brown which pairs well with colours like black and navy brilliantly.</p> <p>I agree that the Trotters 'Jesse' or the Steve Maddens are the most versatile. And I totally get what the others have said about the Steve Maddens combining 'polish with edge'. BUT, on balance, I think I'd plump for the Jesse, simply because the style's a bit higher cut, or taller, than the others, and if you wanted to tuck pants in them, that'd be important. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-cognac-booties-for-fallbest-choice#post-683209 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:38:23 +0000 velvetychocolate 683209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with modgirl - the first pair are much more polished, and the last pair are much more casual/edgy. The Steve Maddens in your second link strike a wonderful balance between the two, and as modgirl explained, they are both polished *and* edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-cognac-booties-for-fallbest-choice#post-683181 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 13:20:08 +0000 modgrl 683181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Steve Maddens best. Polished and edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-cognac-booties-for-fallbest-choice#post-683140 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 12:25:31 +0000 nancylee 683140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like to get one more pair of booties for fall/winter, and I'm thinking cognac might be useful. (I already own a pair of black and taupe booties.) I'd like them to be as versatile as possible, so I can wear them with my midi skirts, dresses, and skinnies. Here are the 3 pair I'm considering:</p> <p>Trotters "Jesse"<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/trotters-jesse-bootie/3193170?origin=category&#038;cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_pla=10&#038;cm_ite=1&#038;siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-slDNv7xft7_FBHBV6YR7qw" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tr.....BHBV6YR7qw</a></p> <p>Steve Madden "Fairlow" (Angie NAS pick)<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steven-by-steve-madden-fairlow-bootie/3285583?origin=category&#038;cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_pla=10&#038;cm_ite=1&#038;siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-hjntvpo_Q0VbcymFX1k1EQ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/st.....cymFX1k1EQ</a></p> <p>Brass Plum "Rally"<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bp-rally-bootie/3283891?origin=category&#038;cm_ven=Linkshare&#038;cm_cat=partner&#038;cm_p" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bp.....&#038;cm_p</a></p> <p>Thoughts? (BTW, I've decided against the Anyi Lu booties. I just couldn't reconcile the open toe design with our long fall/winter season.) </p>
