My taupe-ish footwear is all older, but I can tell you what they are and maybe you can track them down. The tall nude boots I have are Miz Mooz "Flynn" and the short boots are Report "Marks" in sand. Light taupes are a tough color to find in footwear unfortunately.</p> <p>The sweet spot will change depending on several factors, the main one being whether the shoe is low contrast or not, followed afterwards by the skirt length. With a low contrast shoe you can "get away" with less conventional proportions. The length and treatment of the top half can also affect it.</p> <p>Re the belt, I think you could certainly do leo and leo but I like the idea of a leopard belt with the red shoes. Or maybe a shiny silver/gold belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352509 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:39:54 +0000 Angie_T 1352509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So are y'all saying leopard belt OR leopard pumps? I get it about the belt being rugged. Just not sure what color belt. </p> <p>Aida - I was actually been going back through your posts last night because I'm looking for a flat or low heeled bootie in taupe and as an admirer of your style I thought I might find something you have worn that is still available. Your outfits also inform about skirt length with booties. There seems to be a sweet spot on the amount of leg to show depending on the height of the boot. I need to experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352503 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:31:23 +0000 catgirl 1352503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!&nbsp; IIt's like elegant grunge.&nbsp; Elegrunge?&nbsp; Anyway, I think the half-tuck and shoes keep it off kilter and make it super cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352499 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 00:28:21 +0000 Aida 1352499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seeing the same as Anna, a dressier belt OR less dressy pumps would be just the ticket here. Great textural mix and moody colors.</p> <p>Can't access all of my older files right now, but here are a few pencil skirt + booties outfits of mine I have posted up here over the years [<a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0902-old-and-new-wardrobe-mullings" rel="nofollow">1</a> | <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0205-08-ylf-challenges-1-scarf-and-3-dresses" rel="nofollow">2</a> | <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-1022-26-a-week-inspired-by-pinterest" rel="nofollow">3</a> | <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0922-28-slouchy-transitional" rel="nofollow">4</a> | <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0123-27-adjacent-colors-week" rel="nofollow">5</a>].

I want to see either a more refined belt or some sort of necklace to tie in. Even if the pumps weren't patent it'd be more cohesive. Like even a leopard hair calf would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352259 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 19:20:02 +0000 Deb 1352259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the fit, textures and colours make this outfit work so well. The individual pieces compliment each other and the silhouette is feminine and flattering. I agree, shoes or long boots do look better than booties with pencil skirts and since you are tall, the skirt length works really well. This is modern and classy and I like it very much! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352257 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 19:18:31 +0000 Reneeb 1352257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see matchy matchy. Looks very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352194 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 18:09:01 +0000 Niki Lea 1352194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I'll try to do one at home tonight.

It might help me build up my own courage! lol<br />Dixie - those pics are a great example.&nbsp; I think you're right about skirt length being key.&nbsp; I am going to play around with that. </p> <p>And how funny that Angie came up first in the search results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352126 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:43:23 +0000 Dixie 1352126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great shoe color, I want them. The length is really flattering on you. I would suggest a shorter length if you went with botties, like slightly above the knee.</p> <p>This is hilarious, I looked for "skirt booties" on google and the first picture that appeared was Angie.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/files/2011/09/Seated1.jpg">http://youlookfab.com/files/2011/09/Seated1.jpg</a></p> <p>LOL. </p> <p>Maybe I'm too classical in skirt lengths but compare this:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://lamodellamafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/la-modella-mafia-Vogue-Australia-fashion-editor-Christine-Centenera-2013-street-style-Balmain-jacket-Dion-Lee-skirt-Alaia-boots-Celine-sunglasses.jpg">http://lamodellamafia.com/wp-c.....ion-editor</a></p> <p>To this:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://images3.chictopia.com/photos/pandaphilia/2855480668/silver-suede-ankle-boots-olive-green-shirt-beige-lace-skirt-tan-belt_400.jpg">http://images3.chictopia.com/p.....green-shir</a></p> <p>I guess it depends also on the boot cut and body shape.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352120 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:26:25 +0000 Niki Lea 1352120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! The shape of the skirt is amazing. I need to update my denim pencil skirt - it's getting a bit long in the tooth.</p> <p>I'm wearing my denim pencil skirt with black booties today. Last year that combo freaked me out, but this year I'm going for it. Took me a while to build up enough bravery.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352116 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 16:20:20 +0000 Tanya 1352116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do not think it is too matchy at all, especially with different textures.&nbsp; Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352099 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 15:58:49 +0000 Jules 1352099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I don't see matchy-matchy because the bag is suede and the shoes are patent. If anything, to me there is a bit of juxtaposition going on because most of the outfit is casual, in soft fabrics,&nbsp;vs the shiny smooth&nbsp;patent &nbsp;which I read&nbsp;as 'dressy' (which may be entirely my own thing, I am not sure). I think this type of contrast is on-trend as are all of your individual elements, so I see a winning outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-skirt-wplaid-too-matchy#post-1352088 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 15:51:36 +0000 Angie_T 1352088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In spite of the dour expression on my face in these photos, I <i>think</i> I like this.&nbsp; </p> <p>I tried to wear the skirt with booties, but I just can't seem to adjust to a pencil skirt with booties for some reason.&nbsp; Anyone else have that issue? </p> <p>I<br /> also am wearing my new Liebeskind bag of whose color I was unsure when I<br /> ordered. Of course, different light makes the color change, but I think<br /> this is going to work nicely for fall. I love a large bag!</p> <p>I<br /> feel unsure of myself with patterns, and at the same time don't want to<br /> be matchy matchy with the bag and shoes.&nbsp; Do you guys think the shoes and bag work? <br />And one more question - is the skirt length right? I could probably go up or down a smidge by adjusting the waist. </p> <p>I am open to constructive feedback. </p> <p>And if anyone cares to share photos of pencil skirts working with booties, I would love a study guide featuring real people and not models!! </p>
