I think if you have a good skirt match for them (or two), you're already sorted, just changing tops and toppers will give you enough versatility. <br />Oh, wait, you can *make* a good match yourself!

I like the sound of <i>a bit funky </i>:)</p> <p>I've ordered the boots and they'll probably arrive next Monday or Tuesday. Lets hope they work out. I'm really asking them to work hard wanting something to go with trousers/jeans and skirts!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367820 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:59:16 +0000 Suz 1367820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, I'm late here, but I really like them. I find lace up boots can be quite versatile. Even though I don't currently own a pair, LOL. These ones would bookend your hair beautifully. I see them as you do -- a bit Victorian, a bit funky, and I instantly imagined them with skirts because they prevent the ankle gap. I used to wear my Doc Marcies with skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367809 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:51:27 +0000 Cerinda 1367809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't find a photo (sorry), but I am practically living in a very similar pair of&nbsp;&nbsp;cognac/taupe/chocolate&nbsp;Clark's. &nbsp;I find they go with every shape and length of trouser; please let me know what you discover about wearing them with skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367763 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 18:40:57 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1367763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely worth an experiment! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367627 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:22:35 +0000 krishnidoux 1367627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitively!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367626 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:20:11 +0000 greenglove 1367626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful, yes I would wear them with a skirt in a heartbeat.<br />They would look great with a midi trumpet skirt.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367617 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:06:43 +0000 Anonymous 1367617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, do you think so Angie? Good to know I had a look at a few other websites and looked at boot trends and lace up styles are coming through a lot, especially brogue detailing. These ones shape to the foot contours nicely and the heel isn't a big square block, so I do see elements of refinement to them that I prefer. I think I'll order and see how they shape up. Nothing to be lost eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367576 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 14:16:50 +0000 Angie 1367576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thumbs are up, ip, up. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367554 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 13:44:33 +0000 texstyle 1367554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, looking at them again I realize that they are not really overtly masculine so much but for some reason I seem to see most oxford styling with the details like this to be more of a menswear inspired look. I think it's due to my own style limitations of never really wearing oxfords or even laceups aside from sneakers. I still sort of wish I had had a reason to keep the taupe Hinge oxfords I tried a while back. I thought they were so feminine on the foot (though DH didn't see it that way). Reading others descriptions seems so spot on - a little Victorian for sure. Like E's style definitely. </p> <p>Can't wait to see how you try them out Diane! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367466 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:21:52 +0000 Anonymous 1367466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good to read everyone's take on the style of these boots BTW they do have zip too! Take a look at the link I gave and it shows different views.</p> <p>Here's my take on the style... To me they do look a little feminine and I see a bit of brogue and Victorian influence. I also think they remind me a bit of Shannon's Doc Marcies and also they bring to mind this look of Natalies (picture #4) <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....mpunk-week</a>&nbsp;As you can see, Natalie is wearing a tube skirt with hers.</p> <p>So there is quite a bit that I like about them, however whether I will struggle to get enough looks out of them is another thing. I may just&nbsp;order them for fun and see what I think...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367314 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:35:14 +0000 Jaime 1367314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can absolutely see these on you, and with skirts, although maybe not pencil skirts as Una mentioned. And they do give a certain vibe, so you have to think about whether you like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367309 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:29:56 +0000 Sveta 1367309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely worth a try! I wear booties with skirts all the time if the ankle is fitted and with laces it should be easy to make it fitted.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367301 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:16:51 +0000 Aida 1367301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylistically, these have a bit of both an oxford and a Victorian vibe. I think the color would be really good for you (would be lovely with your hair). Stylistically both seem like they'd work for you, adding both a touch of romance and a touch of pretty-masculinity. Is that something you like getting out of your footwear? I ask because, for example, while I quite enjoy touches of masculinity, I generally do not enjoy getting it from shoes. Therefore I know that I need&nbsp;to avoid overly masculine shoes. Just another way of thinking about it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367222 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:27:05 +0000 Susie 1367222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a soft spot for lace up booties so I really like them. But, I still struggle with booties with skirts. I do like what Sara said about being able to make them more fitted to the ankle because it's the flower pot look for which I have a poison eye. </p> <p>I like what K posted. To my eye, I prefer to see a shootie type shoe with pencil skirts or tube skirts. The lace up style would be great with more casual looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367219 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:23:35 +0000 Debbie 1367219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that look. I think it would be great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367216 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:16:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 1367216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they could work for sure. The only hesitation I have is from a practical standpoint. I have a pair of lace up boots &amp; I love them BUT the laces take so long to tie &amp; untie that, unless I'm going out for the day, I tend to wear my zipped ones much more. If that isn't a problem then please ignore </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367212 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 22:00:28 +0000 catgirl 1367212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I think are quite feminine and I mostly picture them with skirts because what's the point of hiding the lace and detail under pant legs? To me, they skew a bit retro or whimsical, along the lines of E's style. Not sure of pencil skirts but a swingy plaid or tweed would be really fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367199 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 21:43:24 +0000 texstyle 1367199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They seem a little more masculine than things I'm used to seeing you wear but maybe there is a slight style shift?&nbsp; I love the idea of cognac for you though and if you feel like you like them, then by all means, I see the style worn in cute ways with skirts quite a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367187 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 21:14:29 +0000 bj1111 1367187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Seattle I saw a great outfit where the slouchy pant leg was cuffed and the cuffed bit stuck into the unlaced shaft with the laces fine starting at the ankle bone or slightly below. It reminded me of a less aggressive way to wear docs...</p> <p>I digress, especially if that isn't your look. These are a great color for your hair. I personally would not wear them with skirts because I think it's a young look for me. Perhaps it depends on the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367182 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 21:09:27 +0000 K. Period. 1367182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree--the first thing I thought was how well they would bookend your hair. &nbsp;You definitely need cognac booties. &nbsp;I like the ones you pictured&nbsp;a lot, but I'm not entirely sure that they would work with pencil skirts. &nbsp;To my eye (and I'm slightly girly, so keep that in mind) they seem a little detailed and slightly androgynous for a pencil skirt, unless you were planning to go a little rougher/less feminine with the top? &nbsp;I've worn something more like these with pencil skirts and felt fab. &nbsp;I'd absolutely&nbsp;wear something like what you pictured with jeans, though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367163 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 20:35:22 +0000 claracluck 1367163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think they would bookend your hair beautifully </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367148 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 20:04:45 +0000 Anonymous 1367148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually FC I had lace up boots in the 80's and loved them!

I wonder if you're hesitating because the laces are quite a bit of detail. To me, they are similar in feel to the high ankle strap shoes you were wearing on Saturday in Seattle: feminine, could skew a&nbsp; little boho, but still classic enough that they are not over the top and not scene-stealers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367137 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 19:42:29 +0000 crutcher 1367137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I truly love your sense of style...The pictures that you posted post Seattle week-end of the outfits you wore were just FAB...Perhaps if you have time, you could shop a bit more for boots...I will bet you could find some you like more...smile... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootie-musing-these-with-a-skirt-or-not#post-1367129 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 19:28:22 +0000 Anonymous 1367129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Sara, I've got small ankles.</p> <p>Ha AG!
