I say you look great in every pic but, if I was deciding I would do number 2. Sexy, trendy, flattering ...just great! I do want to say that if you added a bolder colour to the se (maybe the scarf ) t it would look even more fashionable. Have a great day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754798 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:49:33 +0000 Deborah 754798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these look great Carole:). I love the bootie versions though. A little more modern edge I think. Unless its particularly warm I wear nude hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754792 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:45:16 +0000 Jjsloane 754792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3. I'd personally need nude hose of some sort (fishnets or real nude hose - yes I wear them my legs are a mess and they just feel better to me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754776 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:27:58 +0000 bj1111 754776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>big fat like on the booties, with or without the scarf. the boots seem to "heavy" visually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754728 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:22:01 +0000 Carole 754728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, Teri, dianthus, Claudia, Karie, Shannon, BM~Thanks so much for you kind comments and feedback.</p> <p>Zapotee~You make complete sense, "tall boots....help balance the outfit"</p> <p>Cocolion~I get what you are saying about the scarf w/jacket. I ended up adding the scarf over my raincoat (it was so chilly today) but took it off inside!</p> <p>Angie~Thanks! My lack of fashion confidence gets the best of me sometimes but talking it out here sure helps. Thanks, also, for today's timely post, it got me thinking outside my little box today.</p> <p>N-Marie~Lets see your version ASAP!</p> <p>Shu~Suchh a good idea about nude hose under. It's so cold today that would have felt good!</p> <p>Inge~Thanks for the boost and for noticing my striped top.</p> <p>Mander~Thanks for the thumbs up for nude hose. I feel warmer already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754689 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:47:58 +0000 Mander 754689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the booties too.</p> <p>Honestly, I have never understood the "nude hose = frumpy" idea. Provided that they are actually nude for you, and not that sickly "suntan" color, I don't get what the problem is. So if it makes you feel warmer or more comfortable, I say get some sheer hose and just wear them. Odds are nobody will notice unless they get right up next to you, anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754649 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:15:13 +0000 biscuitsmom 754649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both but have a preference for the booties.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754622 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:50:04 +0000 Inge 754622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, you have fantastic legs! There is no reason at all why you shouldn't wear booties with bear legs, love this look on you (nude hose will look great too). I also adore how you've paired this dress with the striped top, I vote no scarf here to let those cute stripes do all the talking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754583 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:10:06 +0000 Shu 754583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty choices! Also, you could try nude hose under your microfishnets if you feel you need additional coverage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754506 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:13:04 +0000 N-Marie 754506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the booties look great! Seeing everyone try this style so successfully is inspiring me to give it a go myself </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754504 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:10:45 +0000 Angie 754504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am SO glad that you posted these outfits, Carole. I couldn't for the life of me understand why you wouldn't wear booties with visible legs. You wear the vibe with panache - and here is the proof!</p> <p>I have a slight preference for no scarf, but both versions are splendid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754502 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:09:42 +0000 CocoLion 754502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it with the booties, but without the scarf. However, if you add a blazer, I would love the scarf. Does that make sense?</p> <p>The tall boots look good too but the booties are just that much more modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754494 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:08:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 754494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks lovely with both the booties and the taller boots, but I love it more with the booties. I second the nude fishnets if you want to give your legs a bit of "polish". Looks fab Carole! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754490 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:06:07 +0000 Karie 754490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both boots on you, and I like it better with the scarf. I read a post by Angie from about a year ago where she said she wore nude hose because it was cold out, so if she wears them, it must be OK </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754413 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:17:36 +0000 Claudia 754413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #2 looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754412 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:17:31 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 754412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of the looks are fabulous but have a slight preference for the booties. I think as Celia said, it is because the booties make it lighter. I also like the pattern mixing with the scarf. All are great variation on the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754408 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:14:35 +0000 teri 754408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the tall boots w/ scarf best.</p> <p>I'm still having a hard time with the booties and leg showing. I see it on others and I like it, but when I try it............. I hate it one me. I wore some the other day, but with black booties / black tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754406 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:14:01 +0000 Anonymous 754406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both look great but I do prefer #2. I think you can definitely wear those booties, I find the style very flattering on you. The reason I prefer the boots to the booties is that I think the tall boots fill out more "space" and help balance the outfit more. With the booties, the outfit looks a bit top heavy to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754401 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:11:43 +0000 deb 754401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the booties best. The tall boots look good also, but if I have to choose, I choose the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754400 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:11:35 +0000 Carole 754400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just missed your post, Parsley. Thanks so much. It means a lot coming from a Petty boot expert! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754399 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:11:18 +0000 Jules 754399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think with the boots *and* scarf, it's looking quite wintry, just a little heavy for fall. So if you settle on the boots I'd lose the scarf.<br /> I love the dress with the booties, with or without scarf. I don't have hose advice but will be curious what people suggest. I hear ya btw, the veins are a problem for me since my mid-thirties. My mother STILL has great legs. No fair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754394 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:10:19 +0000 Carole 754394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, Thanks for the positive feedback!</p> <p>Celia, OMG I forgot about my nude fishnets, brilliant! Thanks so much&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754393 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:09:24 +0000 Parsley 754393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both the booties and the tall boots, Carole!</p> <p>I think the booties are more trendy and up-to-date-looking, but both look good.<br /> You've got the long slender legs to wear this look well!</p> <p>I like the scarf, too.<br /> I'm curious to hear what others say about nude hose. My pale, blotchy legs are one deterrent against me trying the bare legs with booties look.<br /> Maybe nude fishnets? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754390 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:08:07 +0000 celia 754390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay to every one of the looks,the booties make the outfit lighter and that is the only reason I slightly prefer it, they will work with nude micro fishnets .<br /> I also like the simplicity without the scarf but with the scarf is an interesting pattern mixing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754389 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:07:12 +0000 pil 754389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both boots, but I'm not knowledgeable at all about that. I do vote for the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/booties-wdress-yay-or-nay#post-754380 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:01:53 +0000 Carole 754380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so todays post made me give this a whirl, although I have tall black boots on standby....the biggest issue for me is my bare legs look bad (veins, age spots etc. etc. etc.) so what can I do about that? Is nude hose a "no-no"? It seems the lighter booties are a little more limiting, I don't think tights would work with these either...what do you bootie experts think? This is all a little too intimidating for mwah!</p> <p>Any and all advise very much appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>Oh, and with or without the scarf? </p>
