The NeO pair you are keeping in #2 as stunning.&nbsp; Since those are shiny, I would be inclined to go for the suede in #4 (Demielle), but the other pair is lovely as well, so i do not think you could go wrong either way.&nbsp; Finally, I am completely in love with the R&amp;B burgundy pair and vote keep if the budget allows.&nbsp; They are breathtaking and a girl can never have too many shoes, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1723043 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 16:55:02 +0000 JAileen 1723043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry that the Church booties don't fit. Those are so beautiful. I've been looking at blue boots myself. I bought the Sam Petty in ink last year, but they actually seem too bright. I feel like rubbing dirt or something on them to tone them down. These three from Zappos are ones I didn't know if you had seen. They might not be RATE for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722998 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 13:58:03 +0000 Janet 1722998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, square toes are making a comeback. I've been checking out some boots online and noticing that. But I wonder if they'll wane just as quickly as they did last time around.&nbsp;</p> <p>Gah, I love Laurence Dacade boots.

Which I love. So they get my vote.<br /> I don't think the square toe is dated, it just doesn't seem like you. In fact I just looked and there are quite a few designers doing square toed boots this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722980 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 13:25:11 +0000 viva 1722980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are the NeOs; what an incredible find.&nbsp;</p> <p>i also really love the suede, which have a beautiful modern refined look.</p> <p>I don't even know what to say about the maximal R&amp;Bs, which are so WAY out of my personal zone!!! but if you have the room for them in your closet and love them, why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722896 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 05:32:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1722896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Rag and Bones are beautiful and very cool and very you, but they are not blue. (To state the obvious.)<br />So you're wanting a refined pair and a casual pair in blue--is that it? Because I might just go with the ones you chose--NeO shiny ones. Those are awesome. <br />The others are so different from each other, it's very hard to choose. Different vibes and all. The square toes are eye-catching and retro looking. The suede are more an updated classic look. I kinda lean toward the funkier square-toed ones for you, because you wear statement footwear with such style and confidence. (Case in point: the <i>not</i>-blue R&amp;B boots!)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722895 Sat, 03 Sep 2016 05:20:21 +0000 Anna 1722895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore, adore, adore the suede ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722722 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 21:47:02 +0000 deb 1722722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must keep the merlot pair, they are so your style. As for the two pair of blues up for consideration, I like the Deimille pair the best. I am an almond or Pointy toe gal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722717 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 21:41:00 +0000 Greenjeans 1722717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, these are are all good but the suede buckle boots are especially gorgeous. &nbsp;They are blue and not black, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722716 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 21:39:00 +0000 Aida 1722716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm stylistically I like the suede pair in #3 but practically I don't know that it's The Best option. <i>Although</i> if you keep #2 then you've got a patent pair for rainy days The shiny pair in #3 could be a nice refined option over the pair in #2 when you want sleeker (if it were <i>for me</i> I'd go with the patent in #3, if that helps). The R&amp;B Burgundy boots are super!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722709 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 21:30:29 +0000 Anonymous 1722709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shopping skills are excellent Dashielle. Everything you've picked is great!<br /> I love the chunky blue Chelsea's and both heeled options are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722686 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 21:00:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1722686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, they're all good. I liked the Church's color best -- too bad it didn't fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was going to tell you to check out ShoeScribe, Yoox's sister site, but when I went to get the link, it seems they've gone out business. Too bad -- they had some good merch and their sales were excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722684 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:54:24 +0000 Suz 1722684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love the chelseas you are keeping and wish they were still available in my size. They'd be perfect.&nbsp;</p> <p>Adore the Rag and Bone boots for you also.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I love both options for the dressier boot and think you can't go wrong. Let comfort be your guide, as you say, and you'll be blue blue blue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722675 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:40:08 +0000 Janet 1722675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, they're all really nice. Too bad the Church's don't fit because they are classic yet really cool. </p> <p>Of the two in #3, I have a personal preference for the suede. Part of that is because, ooh, suede. I also like the buckles -- they just feel more refined and maybe less likely to look dated quickly than the square toe.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes, those merlot boots are AWESOME! You need those too. I'm going to live vicariously. The only booties I've bought for the upcoming season are those inexpensive Topshop floral booties and now you're making me want to shop, darn it. ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722670 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:35:14 +0000 Style Fan 1722670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the boots with the buckles.&nbsp; I don't worry about matching metals either.&nbsp; I have OCD tendencies but they show up in other ways.<br />I feel like buckles are trending but I also like the look of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722655 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:23:39 +0000 catgirl 1722655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, haven't tried with harem pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722653 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:23:06 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1722653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Una&nbsp;</b>- Yes, I found them on a back rack at my local H&amp;M and loved it so much on you that I HAD to get it.

Wow! They are a beautiful color and very cool looking. The blue booties are all fab, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I agree that you should pick the most comfortable pair. The pair with buckles is nice but might feel limiting if you like to match your metals in an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722636 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 20:04:53 +0000 catgirl 1722636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you got my shirt! And the R&amp;Bs! I adore them but also feel like if you are in a blue mood maybe you should hold out for blue? The suede covered heels concern me for practicality although they are gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blue-bootie-thoughts#post-1722628 Fri, 02 Sep 2016 19:44:28 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1722628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm at the beginning of a staycation and have time to put 'pen to paper' to enlist your patient guidance...</p> <p>I love blue and this is my year of dark blue (apparently). I bought the long ink rag &amp; bone gillet (out for alterations at the mo) and have half a dozen thin merino pullovers as FFB options for cooler days. Boring perhaps, but simple, comfortable and flattering. The one article in the colorway that has eluded me is the 'perfect' blue bootie, so I was jazzed when I hit the jackpot while browsing on Yoox recently. Well, a giant box of blue booties showed up a few days ago (see Finds) &lt;3</p> <p>The easy NO was the beautiful cobalt and black ombre <b>Church's</b> chelsea, which were too small and no bigger options available <b>[Pic #1]</b>. As well made as they are, they'd last for years.</p> <p>The easy YES was the pair of navy to black ombre patent leather <b>NeO</b> chelseas. Gorgeous depth of color, comfortable with nice foam lug sole, will work in the rain and go with everything <b>[Pic #2]</b>.</p> <p>The debate is between the two navy, block heel, taller shaft booties, that I intend to wear with that perfect pair of cropped flares in a dark color (when I find them or cut up my own). The options are between an <b>Islo Isabella</b> bootie that is part smooth leather and part patent, has a cool diagonal side zip and a square toe. These feel more fashion forward of the two, to my eye. I'm slightly worried that the very smooth leather shaft will scuff easily though. The competitor is a lovely suede boot from <b>Deimille</b> with two belts with silver buckles on the shaft and a slightly higher heel. These heights all work for me, but overall comfort will ultimately be a deciding factor. Below are some hastily styled, weird expression pics of me wearing both, one on each foot (which gives me a distinct limp). [<b>Pic #3</b>]</p> <p>Then, while in the midst of this conundrum, a 'non-blue' pair arrive. These are a gorgeous patent, tall shaft, merlot, lace up, stompy bootie from <b>rag &amp; bone</b>. This is a colorway that enhances my facial redness, so wearing it on the feet is best for me. They are certainly maximal, as the trend entails, and would be the focal point of any outfit. Lest you worry, they are very walkable. They're only 2.5" with the platform and have good flex in the forefoot, which can be a problem with platforms and is something I find excrutiating. I have tried them with a pair of moto ponte/leather pants and harems, for your consideration. Notice I lemming'd Una's H&amp;M floaty shirt (high five UWPs!).[<b>Pics #4 &amp; 5</b>]</p> <p>Thanks for getting this far (phew!) and if inclined to opinion, please chime in! </p>
