I was suprised when I saw the photo - I was not expecting to like them! But they look interesting and fashionable. I like your phone cover too - is it wood? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533466 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:42:58 +0000 Jaime 1533466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree they are completely different shoes and there is place for both of them. I really like the look of the Timberlakes on you - glad you are enjoying them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533440 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 00:17:18 +0000 catgirl 1533440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Diana said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533372 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 22:42:25 +0000 abc 1533372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I was thinking about just that when you asked me earlier. The first pair is safe, it doesn't push boundaries at all. &nbsp;The second pair is way more fashion forward, maybe just what you (and I) need. &nbsp;It's hard to know what will rock your boat and what will sit unworn, and for that reason I tend to hesitate myself. &nbsp;Glad to hear you're loving them. &nbsp;Please report back later to let us know if they're taking your style to another level, you may just inspire me to push myself a bit, too, and go less safe with some of my upcoming shoe choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533365 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 22:35:00 +0000 Mochi 1533365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! Well, I am out and about in Boston right now, and funnily enough, I'm wearing the Timberlands. At first glance on my feet, I disliked them, but then suddenly had a shift. They seem much more of an interesting addition to my wardrobe (for me). Now I'm loving them. I have to say that they're not a great show for cycling in (too high), but otherwise they're comfortable and not even too hot on this summer day. </p> <p>I'm not sure about the Pirlo, only because I have other booties of a similar style (buy different color). But I may be won over. </p> <p>Thanks again for the feedback. I'm enjoying wearing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533355 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 22:23:47 +0000 Anonymous 1533355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Tims are out of the box--a bit risky perhaps, interesting, unique. &nbsp;The kind of friend you might be glad to have. &nbsp;I have several in my life! &nbsp;No regrets--several such human friends, that is. &nbsp;My Tims are arriving on Friday I think it is and I'll give you a report.</p> <p>The litmus test for me is "fit" -- are they 100% comfortable? &nbsp;After that, if they are comfy, that generally means I will find a way to wear them a lot. I must "love" whatever stays in my closet so if I keep trying to convince myself to love an item (even though they pinch my little toe a tad) &nbsp;or even like an item, I know that it's probably not going to be a keeper. &nbsp;Keepers are often intuitive fits. &nbsp;And I will go to the mat for something/someone I love. &nbsp;No matter how many odd looks I might get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533332 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 21:51:18 +0000 Elle 1533332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the boots serve completely different purposes. I like them both but the Timberlands will only work in informal situations (very cute and sporty though) while the Borns could be worn in formal and informal situations.&nbsp; So it really depends on what you need the boots for.</p> <p>If one is more comfortable than the other, then that's the one I'd pick (but my feet are very Princess and the Pea) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533310 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 21:16:39 +0000 Angie 1533310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It ALL looks very good. WOW. Killer x3.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Tims are more unique, fashionable and fun - &nbsp;but <b>both</b> pairs of boots could find a fab home in your style. Very different.&nbsp;</p> <p>You need to be honest with yourself. Will you take the time to do the laces on the Tims? They are NOT an easy slip on and go shoe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533284 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 20:44:44 +0000 CocoLion 1533284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help, I like it all. &nbsp;The Tims are unique, now wishing I had ordered a pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533265 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 20:14:02 +0000 AviaMariah 1533265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both shoes. &nbsp;If it were me I'd go with #1 because I'd probably get a lot more wear out of that style. &nbsp;But I also really like #2 and I think it's a little more fashion forward. &nbsp;Have you tried them with an unrolled pant? &nbsp;Just wondering about versatility as the weather gets colder. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533246 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 19:44:03 +0000 Colette 1533246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I'm helping here, they all look good. I also echo what Firecracker said. So comfort is key in your decision.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533241 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 19:36:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1533241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket on you! <br />The footwear question is harder. My first thought was the Timberlakes are very cool looking with your boyfriend jeans. The Borns are a nice black low bootie; they fly under the radar. I think they are in different categories--the Timberlakes are a statement, the Borns an essential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533240 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 19:35:37 +0000 Glory 1533240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! The show down is a draw! And, you have made me really sad that I didn't get the timberlands.&nbsp;<br />I love the jacket with the timberlands. To me it looks fresh, fun loving, relaxed and casual - but still edgy.&nbsp;<br />I also like the other shoes but it is a completely different look.<br />Which do you think you would be more apt to reaching for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533236 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 19:29:19 +0000 Suz 1533236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all!!! How's that for helpful?&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, they read like completely different shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533209 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:36:33 +0000 shedev 1533209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tims are more casual while the borns are more dressy to me. The jacket looks good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533207 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:33:32 +0000 Diana 1533207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As others have already said they two pairs of shoes look different to me. First one reads as a boot and the second as a sneaker. Personally I like the boot because I'm not the biggest fan of the black shoe with white soles look. I'm also decidedly not sporty though. They both look like they fit well.<br /> The topper looks good and I don't think it looks bulky at all. Sometimes flaps like that can misbehave and stick up funny but this one looks like it lays pretty flat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533206 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:27:39 +0000 Staysfit 1533206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those sporty shoes draw the eye up and down and make you look long and lean! I like them even though I tend to go for a more refined look.</p> <p>The topper looks fine, I don't think it draws undue attention to your chest because it has a diagonal line and once again I think it's lengthening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533201 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:20:28 +0000 Elly 1533201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Tims! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533197 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:05:39 +0000 abc 1533197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and looking at pics again I see absolutely nothing wrong with the topper. We are all self conscious so I get your concerns but personally don't see it at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533196 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:04:41 +0000 abc 1533196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am biased by my own style leanings - that said I would choose 1. I am not an edgy dresser though. I lean more toward modern classic, so YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533192 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 17:59:38 +0000 Mochi 1533192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good point, abc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Let's just say for argument's sake that I could use both types of shoes. Which is the cuter one? Heh heh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533189 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 17:56:53 +0000 abc 1533189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first pair reads more refined due to the shape of the shoe. Looks great on you. </p> <p>The second pair reads sporty due to the white sole. </p> <p>If it's a question of which one pair to keep I would say focus on how you will wear them - if you need a more refined one go for #1. If sporty is the need go for #2. Or go for both if budget allows. </p> <p>Jacket looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bornpirlo-shoedown#post-1533187 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 17:53:45 +0000 Mochi 1533187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here we go. First, just FYI, I was expecting the Timberlake Glastonbury to be tight in the width, but it's very comfy and roomy. On first impression, though, I thought these made my feet look like big, wide boats. But they've grown on me quite a lot! Uh-oh.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Borns are equally comfortable and pretty cool in themselves.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure what to do....remember that I also bought the Mephisto sneakers and am feeling like I've been quite greedy with the footwear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Whatever looks like a 10 I will strongly consider keeping.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bonus pic of Pleione jacket, an Angie pic that also arrived today and I'm really loving it as a light jacket or as a layering piece. Is it looking great? Fits well. Sleeves are a little long on my short arms, but I could scrunch up, or else move the button.&nbsp;</p> <p>One thing is, the material is dark but I'm sensitive about adding bulk to my chest, and there is a flap that hits mid-breast that I don't want to detract, so I'm pointing it out. Maybe I'm overly concerned about it.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think? Thanks in advance!&nbsp; </p>
