In my own search for something similar, I'm also finding that the skirt length you usually wear makes a difference when choosing the height of the boot to get the best proportions. I'm looking for shorter versions of knee high boots for this reason. I hope that the boots you ordered will work out well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1153029 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:50:58 +0000 Elizabeth P 1153029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some booties could also be an option to add some variety, and modernness.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1153025 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:45:10 +0000 April 1153025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I think flat boots look better than heeled boots with dresses and skirts. &nbsp;Black is dressier, and pairing black flat boots with black tights gives a wonderfully long leg line. &nbsp;As long as the boot doesn't have a lot of western stitching or casual details such as an obvious rubber sole in a different color, it should not look overly informal. </p> <p>ETA: I had knee-high boots in mind in writing this.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1153004 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 12:20:35 +0000 unfrumped 1153004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a similar goal-- not that I wear herls, but getting flat boots to work with skirts. A refined toe shape and more fitted shaft seem to help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1152955 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 07:34:25 +0000 Ornella 1152955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those would look fantastic with the outfits you described. I tried to imagine one of my&nbsp;friends who&nbsp;works in what sounds like&nbsp;the similar job/position like yours, and I can imagine her wearing both the clothes and these boots for any of the occasions. I don't see loss of heel height as going down the less-dressy route, if I understood your dilemma correctly. &nbsp;</p> <p>One question I have is what colour is your hair, also the majority of the&nbsp;clothes you wear? I find the whole concept of bookending the hair or top part of the outfit with the footwear an excellent guideline to actually choose the colour of the&nbsp;footwear which will be the workhorse, as may be the case here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1152928 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 06:06:27 +0000 RanchGirl 1152928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Adelfa! I appreciate your input. Guess I've been wearing heeled boots for so long that flat ones seem a bit too casual. The Corso Como boots I'm considering seem as though they'll work, though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1152918 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 05:30:29 +0000 Adelfa 1152918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but I wanted to chime in to say that I wear a pair of Corso Como boots, with just a 1" wedge, to work with dressier outfits. (Mine are black.) I think it's absolutely fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-flat-bootbooties-for-work#post-1152897 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 04:52:12 +0000 RanchGirl 1152897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>I work at a nonprofit agency&nbsp;and although our office is business casual I tend to dress more conservatively&nbsp;because I often meet with donors and supporters, and also appear at events and/or make presentations. My go-to work outfits are sheath or wrap dresses, and&nbsp;pencil skirts with a dressy tank, tee, or top/blouse. I usually wear a&nbsp;&nbsp;cardi, blazer or jacket, plus accessories.</p> <p>During winter months I have two pair of dressy boots that I wear with tights but they have 3-inch heels and I need to give my back a break (I've also had these so long I'm just TIRED of wearing them day in and day out).&nbsp;I've&nbsp;ordered several pair of black flat boots but am feeling unsure if I can pull this off with the type of day work outfits I've described here. This is a pair I'm considering:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/corso-como-stirrup-boot/3513812">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/co.....ot/3513812</a><br />Will this look OK? I ordered a pair that have some equestrian details but those are going back. Too casual! As an alternative, would a flat bootie work?Tights with pumps just look/feel weird for some reason.Thanks for your help.</p> <p> </p>
