They look fab with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootiesshootieschelsea-boots#post-1007372 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:28:56 +0000 DonnaF 1007372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With jeans there's not a huge difference, but with skirts I DO prefer the Chelsea -- but that's the style of bootie I wear with skirts so I could be biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootiesshootieschelsea-boots#post-1007371 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:28:50 +0000 Deborah 1007371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both booties are lovely Nancy but the J Crew are really lovely! If it were me, I would buy the j Crew pair and sell the Munro Bestsys on Ebay:). I just love how streamlined the JC ones are and they look fab with your skirts and IMHO are a very modern sleek look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootiesshootieschelsea-boots#post-1007367 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:28:11 +0000 cobaltblue 1007367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Chelsea boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bootiesshootieschelsea-boots#post-1007362 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 23:24:14 +0000 nancylee 1007362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been searching for a pair of cognac booties that I can wear with pants <i><b>and</b></i> skirts/dresses&nbsp;since last season, so I was happy to find and purchase the Betsy Munro booties at the NAS. &nbsp;(photos 1-3)</p> <p>At least I <i><b>thought</b></i> I was happy......until this season's JCrew Chelsea boot caught my eye. &nbsp;In my heart of hearts,&nbsp;&nbsp;a Chelsea boot look was what I'd had in mind for a cognac bootie...I just hadn't been&nbsp;able to find a pair I loved&nbsp;last year. &nbsp;</p> <p>The JCrew booties are just the right color and heel height. &nbsp;Next to them, the Munro Betsys suddenly look stumpy-fying&nbsp;and unfashionable to my eye--especially with the skirt-- and I'm thinking of sending them back in favor of the &nbsp;Chelseas. &nbsp; But I'm also not sure....what do you think?</p> <p>#1-2 - Munro Betsys with straight legs<br />#3 - Munro Betsys with VC midi skirt<br />#4-5 JCrew Chelsea boots with straight legs<br />#6-7 JCrew Chelsea boots with VC midi skirt</p> <p>It's a conundrum because I like the Betsys better with the pants and the Chelsea boots better with the skirt. &nbsp;Hmmm.</p>
