I can't wait until F/W this year. It's going to be my best, wardrobe-wise! I like the Helen Mirren test Aziraphale, I will use that in future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1323146 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 19:03:56 +0000 unfrumped 1323146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rambling Ann said. <br />In favor (in general--of course it's all up to the individual!) is the&nbsp;wonderful gray suede leather, which I think goes a huge way toward making them look more relaxed and not Nancy Sinatra.<br />They do sort of require pretty specific outfit partners--above oufit looks great--so if you want to wear that and more of that, they would certainly make a great look.<br />So then it depends on if you have room to store them, if they're not worn that often.</p> <p>In going through some wardrobe review and editing,&nbsp;I've come across several&nbsp;fabness vs. versatility issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sometimes it annoys me too much , if something is great but I can seldom wear it.&nbsp;But&nbsp;contrasted with that is, who cares aout wearing something often if it doesn't look great? So there's a balance. I recently culled&nbsp;some versatile but meh items and kept&nbsp;instead an item&nbsp; that may only go with a couple of others, but&nbsp;makes a really great combination. I felt I&nbsp; had space to keep it for now. Ideally I want to replace&nbsp;said latter item with one that serves as well and is more versatile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1323110 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:05:49 +0000 Vicki 1323110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep, because YOU love them and BEAUTIFUL KITTY loves them. &nbsp;So, do I. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322618 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 00:50:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1322618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would hold on to them, and enjoy them. They look so good on you! Definitely not young, etc. They look sophisticated, the suede is gorgeous, and the color is very current. I noticed a lot of over the knee boots at NAS, though they were flat. Still, it seems OTK boots are going to be well represented this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322615 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 00:46:01 +0000 Laura 1322615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those look fantastic!!! If you ever want to stride out with a bold, confident, sexy look, that is the time to break these out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322608 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 00:31:30 +0000 Deborah 1322608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fabtastic!!&nbsp; And I think they suit your style.&nbsp; My only question is the heel height.&nbsp; Being comfortable and being able to walk fluidly contributes vastly to one looking stylish, if they tick the boxes, and clearly you love them, then it's a big KEEP from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322572 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 23:58:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1322572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another who says keep - they look fab on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322488 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:22:48 +0000 MsMary 1322488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keepity-keep-keep!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322480 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 22:10:39 +0000 LadyLilac 1322480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep! They look so fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322428 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:57:49 +0000 lyn* 1322428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322413 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:46:32 +0000 Gigi 1322413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others—they look great. I don't see an age issue here. And I think they work with your current style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322341 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 19:05:45 +0000 Janet 1322341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're very fab! If you still love them, I say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322339 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 19:03:58 +0000 Anonymous 1322339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My gut reaction before reading any comments were that they are fab and I think you should keep them. Seems I'm not alone in my opinion </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322311 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 18:20:20 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1322311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies for the feedback! No problem making outfits, as I have tons of skinny jeans, tights and riding jodhpurs to pair with all my fave tunic sweaters for F/W, including the jacket I'm wearing here. I have also worn them with knee length or longer dresses/skirts, which works bare legged or with hose/tights. They are definitely "desk" shoes though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322292 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:50:57 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1322292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are awesome. Don't get rid of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322289 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:47:19 +0000 Kari 1322289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally keep. And that cardigan (a NAS item, right?) is marvelous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322287 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:44:34 +0000 Aziraphale 1322287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of shoes that are ridiculously high and have multiple black ankle straps and that I wear very infrequently -- maybe once a year? But I love them and they still make me happy when I wear them. If you really love those boots, I say keep them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I read somewhere once that shoes/boots are one of the few items of apparel that don't necessarily have an "upper age limit" attached. A mature woman&nbsp;can rock a pair of super-high, sexy heels as long as the rest of the outfit is right (i.e. not hoochie). I tried to picture Helen Mirren wearing my shoes with a pair of rolled boyfriend jeans and a loose white button-front shirt, and was pleased with the mental image. It works. So maybe, try that!&nbsp;If you can picture Helen Mirren wearing your boots and not looking idiotic, I think you're good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322280 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:39:46 +0000 Neelie 1322280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are stunning, but if you have no occasions to wear them but find them comfortable why not have them shortened to below the knee? &nbsp;Maybe they will be more versatile that way? &nbsp;Age should not be an issue though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322279 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:39:22 +0000 Angie 1322279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP. More love from me. Great kitty bed too.&nbsp;xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322268 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:29:18 +0000 Vix 1322268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Dashielle --</p> <p>I think there's always a place for a special item that make one happy when brought out!&nbsp;</p> <p>While I can see these not working for every environment or occasion, I find&nbsp;the shape a classic one&nbsp;&nbsp;and they seem in step [so to speak!] with fall's emphasis on texture and&nbsp;greys.</p> <p>However, if you want to be more strict than I like Rambling Ann's challenge. She ain't messing around, ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322263 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:24:20 +0000 kkards 1322263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love them, keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322256 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:21:04 +0000 Rambling Ann 1322256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you have the panache to wear them, they rock.&nbsp;Can you&nbsp;make up a list of three outfits you can wear with them today with what's in your closet?&nbsp;Are willing to spend money to create three outfits if you don't have the pieces?&nbsp;Do you have places to wear those outfits in your real life? If so, I'd keep.&nbsp;If you need to buy new skinnies and those aren't in your future direction, dump. That's how I'd decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322253 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:17:35 +0000 annagybe 1322253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322237 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:04:04 +0000 ironkurtin 1322237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't feel too young, dated, or inappropriate in them, I say go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dont-hold-back-lemme-have-it#post-1322233 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 17:00:38 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1322233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been going through F/W items slowly to determine what still works for my updated style. I have these griege, suede, over the knee slouchy boots that I don't have many occasions to wear, but I love. Here's where you come in. For those of you who have come to know my style on the forum, and I understand that you've not yet seen me in F/W outfits, barring my NAS picks, do you think these are too young, outdated or otherwise not appropriate? I really can't see clearly because I love them :-(, but now is the time to consign if they have to go. They do apparently make a nice cat bed though! </p>
