I *am* wondering how they'd work with your wardrobe, tho. They'd soften all your looks by a lot, I feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1199156 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:08:33 +0000 rabbit 1199156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shape and the color could work well, only bringing it home will tell. </p> <p>For myself&nbsp;I'm usually open to checking out&nbsp;faux leather small booties or pumps&nbsp;in patent or black&nbsp;(they fit my budget - and as long as they hold up, don't usually 'show their faux'), but the one place I have often been disappointed is with browns/taupes/grays and also tall boots. &nbsp; They just never have looked convincing to me in person, and they don't fit and move like leather, which tall boots need to do to make me happy wearing them. &nbsp; These might be an&nbsp;exception, but you might want to examine them on with a critical eye, since shoes are one of those things&nbsp;which effect how the whole outfit reads. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1199056 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 17:11:54 +0000 Vicki 1199056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely boots and the profile fits your style requirements to a tee. &nbsp;I like this color very much and see it, here, as midway between a warm and cool, so I guess it's a "true" neutral. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;I'm a bit like gryffin thinking that you may also like a stone grey or light nude with grey undertones, because of your beautiful wardrobe in blacks, whites and greys. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198928 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 14:19:06 +0000 Adelfa 1198928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the color is more neutral, not cool. I have a pair of boots about that color and I LOVE them because even though they are darker than my skin, they function sort of as a skin color with skirts and really lighten up dark outfits. I am discovering that I am fine with a lot of neutral colors but you are very cool. So&nbsp;I think there is a chance you will not be happy with the color but they're worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198897 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 13:48:46 +0000 Aziraphale 1198897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As for the colour, I agree that they are neutral. But you can tell they're synthetic. I'd hold out for something nicer. Sorry to be a spanner. &nbsp;:-(</p> <p>BTW I'd say those are flats. I think there was a discussion at some point about when a shoe is considered to be a heel vs. a flat, and it was decided that&nbsp;a little 1" block heel still counts as a flat. Not that it matters technically. But if you were wanting a boot that definitely has a little heel, it has to be over 1.5". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198870 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 13:20:26 +0000 Helena 1198870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, I also agree that these don't read either overly cool or overly warm - a perfect neutral I would say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198867 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 13:18:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1198867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the style of these boots Deborah - the sleek simplicity would play nice with your wardrobe. I think the true color will be the deciding factor - it's always so hard to tell on your monitor and they can look quite different IRL. I do think they are worth trying if possible. These have great potential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198808 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:35:55 +0000 Deborah 1198808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gryffin I have been looking at silvers and greys too:). These dont read as taupe to me and I agree taupe and black is not a good combo. The boots I bought last year are perhaps more taupe and I think that's why I haven't worn them much. I'm really playing with ideas at the moment. I haven't seen these in person. I'm actually in a very indecisive frame of mind at the moment. I'm challenged by what I like and what I like that works for me ;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198798 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:08:24 +0000 gryffin 1198798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - did you try these on yet?&nbsp; Taupe does usually play very nicely with black.&nbsp; You'd have to try it with your gray and ink items to see how the undertone blends.&nbsp; Do&nbsp; you have other accessories in this colorway(scarves, belts, bags)?&nbsp; I would have pictured you skewing toward a silvery gray but I think this could be fun to play with.&nbsp; I think you need to try them in outfits and see how they do.&nbsp; Love the low heel and sleek look!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198793 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:36:15 +0000 Sharon 1198793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great idea. I think these will do the job admirably! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198791 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:33:44 +0000 Deborah 1198791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question Sharon:). I think the answer is black everything;). I am picturing with black dress, black skirt (I have a midi drape twist jersey black skirt, with skinny jeans tucked in to them. Wearing so much black, I am looking for ways to add interest and lift the black, and as an alternative to an all black look. Thinking they would bookend with my hair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198790 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:28:20 +0000 Sharon 1198790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Caro -these would look great with black. What are you planning to wear them with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198780 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 09:32:08 +0000 Lyn D. 1198780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour is unusual. Kind of neutral to my eye, unlike a white that would draw the eye.<br />I would perhaps order to try- Styletread are easy and convenient for returns in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198779 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 09:09:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 1198779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the colour - it would work well with black &amp; white imo &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198778 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 08:43:36 +0000 Deborah 1198778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Inge. I appreciate that. On my screen I couldn't decide the tone. I felt they are kind of on the middle but wasn't sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198770 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 08:18:11 +0000 Inge 1198770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my screen they actually look quite cool-toned, Deborah. I really like the colour, quite versatile in general, and for your wardrobe, I think. Lovely boots. I vote give them a try </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-update-item#post-1198768 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 07:58:54 +0000 Deborah 1198768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies,</p> <p>Still browsing on line. Getting a bit more serious after looking in my wardrobe and realising it is time to update my tall boots. I do need new black ones but I also would like a neutral. I did buy a neutral pair in suede with a wedge heel last year and I have been happy with them but they were not exactly what I wanted, I really wanted a smooth leather or leather look.</p> <p>Found these</p> <p><a href="http://www.styletread.com.au/amazings-neutrals.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.styletread.com.au/a.....trals.html</a></p> <p>They fit my requirements much better. They are not leather but that really is not an issue for me. Low heel but not flat and nice and sleek. </p> <p>Your thoughts? </p> <p>I am wondering about the tone, is it too warm for me? Should I look for something lighter and cooler (in tone)?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Xxx Deborah</p> <p>P.s. And thanks for being my shopping buddies:) </p>
