I'm liking the sleek, unbroken shaft of the Saks pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1552234 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 17:29:09 +0000 annagybe 1552234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More expensive,but more sizes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1552224 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 17:09:54 +0000 MTBGirl 1552224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my Anna those are beautiful! If they had my size I'd seriously consider them and I've never considered knee high boots before! And what a good price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1552188 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 16:20:59 +0000 annagybe 1552188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok these are probably not your size, but I'm thinking something without buckles or straps</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksoff5th.com/knee-high-leather-back-zip-boots/0493440600228.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksoff5th.com/knee.....00228.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1552162 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 15:51:09 +0000 Janet 1552162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! My preference would definitely be for tall boots with a more refined silhouette. I have the Ugg Cortonas, my taupe Frye pull-ons, and my cowboy boots for a more rugged effect, so I would be thinking something that would lend itself well to skirts/dresses as well as with jeans. Anna, you definitely are thinking along the same lines I have been.</p> <p>I love the idea of cognac with grey! I have plenty of grey to make that happen. </p> <p>Sterling, that color exercise is a nice one. It's got me thinking of putting together a little palette from my own wardrobe to see what colors are represented and how much. I have a good idea, but sometimes when you see things laid out for you, there can be surprises. Thanks for the link! </p> <p>I'm going to try the tall cognac boots I posted, but I'm going to be very picky about this, so I'm in no rush to commit. If anyone sees any good contenders in a sleek, tall cognac boot with a low heel that would fit with my style (and is not too slim in the leg, I think my calves are now 15 or 15.5"), please feel free to share! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1552117 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 14:19:45 +0000 Anonymous 1552117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your reasoning and I love the color combination that Anna mentioned. &nbsp;</p> <p>Have you seen this post: &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://into-mind.com/2014/08/25/how-to-choose-a-versatile-colour-palette-for-your-wardrobe-incl-36-sample-colour-palettes/"><a href="http://into-mind.com/2014/08/25/how-to-choose-a-versatile-colour-palette-for-your-wardrobe-incl-36-s" rel="nofollow">http://into-mind.com/2014/08/2.....-incl-36-s</a>...</a></p> <p>I've used it in the past and it quite helpful to me. &nbsp;Would it be helpful to you? &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551998 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 04:09:27 +0000 Carla 1551998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annagybe, I've been seeing that too! Cognac and grey...on the guys. It did look fab! </p> <p>The colour is a natural for me, since it bookends my hair. Dark haired folks might need to pick up the colour with accessories - belt, bag - the way I need to have black in my outfit if I'm going to wear black footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551992 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 03:55:41 +0000 Caro in Oz 1551992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't wear any browns as much since I let my hair go grey but when I do&nbsp;wear my cognac boots it's usually with blues, greens &amp; greys. Then I do like to mix warm &amp; cool colours/neutrals. Also agree with Anna about a refined style.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551964 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:45:53 +0000 annagybe 1551964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw a guy on the bus in grey suit, light purple pinstriped shirt &amp; cognac oxfords. He looked really good. Or maybe I was blinded by the fact I see so few guys in suits.<br /> Anyways are you looking to wear them with skinnier, dresses, skirts?<br /> I think the ones Suz showed are too casual and kinda on the same continuum as working cowboy boots. Dress cowboy boots are an entirely different beast.<br /> I think you need a refined style so it looks intentional, not like you just threw on whatever was by the door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551950 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:14:49 +0000 Karie 1551950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All three are beautiful boots, and cognac is a gorgeous color. I always think of wearing it with other warm tones so I don't know how well it would go with your mostly cool colored wardrobe. I think the best idea is to try a pair with a few outfits first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551945 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 02:05:07 +0000 Maneera 1551945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots Janet. The tall ones seem great. Definitely worth trying....as are the two-tone ones in #3. Now those look very interesting! </p> <p>Suz, the riding boots are gorgeous! Definitely more coffee than cognac, but I still LOVE them! </p> <p>Donna, your cognac ankle boots look real versatile! Hope you get alot of wear out of them this F/W. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551939 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 01:59:30 +0000 catgirl 1551939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just warning that I can't seem to get myself together with cognac - maybe it will click with my new colors but between hair and finding what "goes" I have struggled and finally sold a pair of Fryes. Can you come up with some outfits using your current boots just for a color test of how you'd really like this? Not saying it won't work, just that I personally found it challenging. But I am easily stymied! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551917 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 00:58:20 +0000 Suz 1551917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ha!! Cheryle, you might be right. They call them "coffee" or something but reviewers are describing them as cognac. I think maybe I should look on a few alternate websites for colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551828 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 21:51:32 +0000 kerlyn 1551828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love cognac! &nbsp;I think it would be gorgeous with burgundy, green, and especially teal!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551785 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:35:17 +0000 MTBGirl 1551785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about these Janet? I just ordered them but it'll be in the humid 90's for awhile so probably won't wear them too soon. </p> <p>ETA realizing you wanted taller boots.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551781 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:29:57 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1551781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not an alcoholic by any means but Suz those look more like merlot than cognac on my monitor.&nbsp; They have a definite red undertone as opposed to the golden hue of the cognac. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551777 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 20:19:24 +0000 Suz 1551777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking at and for cognac, too. Any thoughts about these ones? Casual, I know -- also waterproof. Real rider's boots. I read some reviews by people my height who said they fit them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551613 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:42:37 +0000 Janet 1551613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent! I'm so saturated in neutral blacks, greys, and blues, that I do find the color refreshing to my eye. OK, I think I will try the tall ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551607 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:39:13 +0000 Angie 1551607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THUMBS UP. Cognac will create a nice warm juxtaposition with your staple palette, Janet. And is quite the fab style refresher.&nbsp;</p> <p>All three options are worth trying.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551606 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:39:01 +0000 Eliza 1551606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be watching with interest, Janet. &nbsp;I favor a similar color palette and in some ways, cognac is a stand in for orange, which I can't do. &nbsp;I saw its possibilities though, when cognac was featured with rich blues (navy, ink), various tones of gray, and black in shop windows in Italy, fall 2013. I find the right tone of it elegant and happiness inducing, I avoid the more yellow toned cognacs. Angie has also featured it with burgundy, a very fresh combo.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for posting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551605 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:38:36 +0000 Janet 1551605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realized, duh!, that I do have a pair of cowboy boots that fall into that tan-cognac color range, but they serve a completely different purpose. I'm thinking of a sleeker, more versatile style that can more easily be dressed "up" (dressy casual) or down. The cowboy boots are at least a decade old and are pleasantly beat up. I've actually considered leaving them at the ranch, but I'm afraid I'll miss having them at home, so I cart them back and forth. So, the fact that I've found them so useful (and have sometimes wished for another comfortable boot option in that color range) bodes well, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551602 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:33:46 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1551602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This would be a great addition for you. I love cognac boots with blues and greens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551598 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:32:05 +0000 Mochi 1551598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking (hoping) that cognac is a neutral. It's a gorgeous, versatile and understated color IMO.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-cognac#post-1551587 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:16:23 +0000 Janet 1551587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year cognac seemed to start making a reappearance in retail, and I tried on one or two pairs of cognac boots when I saw them around, but they didn't work for me for various reasons (cheap leather, fit). But I'm still enamoured with the rich color and the possibilities for cognac boots. </p> <p>I've been looking (just online, not available anywhere near me) at the ones pictured in my first Find below, and since I am getting rid of a bunch of my old, tired (or too high-heeled) tall boots, I've been wondering what, other than black, might be most useful for me. </p> <p>Considering that my wardrobe is heavy on cool colors -- blues, teals, greens, grays, burgundys -- I'm wondering what your thoughts are on incorporating a pair of tall cognac boots into my style. I think the contrast could actually be a nice departure from how heavily I rely on black and grey. I have a cognac handbag I like, but I don't use it a lot because I feel like something else in my outfit should pick up that color. </p> <p>It might just be that I'd need to try them on with potential outfits to see how it feels/looks. But I welcome any thoughts about this. </p>
