For some reason #2 strikes me as half-dressy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756616 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 22:51:53 +0000 Raisin 756616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1, it just seems right in every way. Love the zipper, the heel, the stitching....and I'm on the hunt for booties myself, and I like it so much I'm going to check it out online! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756516 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 20:35:37 +0000 nancylee 756516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for #1, Diana. #2 still reads a bit casual to my eye, and #3 is a little too dressy....you might not want those ruffles and bows for every occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756467 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:53:05 +0000 missvee 756467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they don't work out, have you tried Tsubo? They have great cushioning and comfort. The Tsubo Cusus looks nice to me, but I can't get a link to work </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756428 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:12:01 +0000 Diana 756428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, I ordered them from Planet Shoes, which I know is legit and has free returns. The sizes are very limited though. </p> <p><a href="http://www.planetshoes.com/item/everybody-galla/15552" rel="nofollow">http://www.planetshoes.com/ite.....alla/15552</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756418 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:02:16 +0000 shedev 756418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756382 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:25:36 +0000 Angie 756382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all for your style, Diana!

It's the one that most catches my eye, too. While I love #3, I can't see those boots going with as many outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756348 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:51:10 +0000 DonnaF 756348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For your purposes, I like #1; I think the bow in #3 takes it OTT and it would be fighting with the details of your clothing, but maybe the clothing I have in mind is not what you would wear with them. That being said, I liked #1 enough to investigate the booties for myself -- and found a price too good to be true on shoesworld.com. Before I pulled the trigger, I did a little investigating and it appears to be a scam site. Too good to be true isn't. I didn't complete my financial info, but I suppose they now how my email address. For some reason, I don't envision you in #2, and the narrowness of the bootie has me worried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756325 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:26:00 +0000 rachylou 756325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're all fab, but I would pick #1 for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756304 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 17:06:22 +0000 Diana 756304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, gah, just realized that #3 is not available in my size in black. I think I am going to go ahead and order the other two. I have a lot of Girl Math Money anyway. (Just returned two wedding dresses and a pair of shoes.)</p> <p>ETA: ordered #1 and #2. I got the last size 38 in #1. Hope it runs true to size. I have narrow/low insteps so I got both in my normal size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756293 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:57:00 +0000 krishnidoux 756293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756290 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:54:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 756290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is actually a tough choice Diana because I like them all and can see them all working with your style. Personally, I am swooning over #3 - I think they'd look amazing with skirts/dresses. But I'm not sure they'd work with trousers because of the ruffle &amp; tie on the front - I can picture the front of your hem getting caught in that when walking.</p> <p>The sleekness of #2 really catches my eye. That would work with EVERYTHING in my opinion.</p> <p>But I love the interesting details of #1.</p> <p>Oh poop...I realize I probably haven't helped at all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756289 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:53:48 +0000 Anonymous 756289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2 also, but Angie's comment about them being narrow makes me sad. I shall admire them on whoever buys them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756288 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:52:34 +0000 catgirl 756288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dying at #2. Jonesy posted a great dressy ankle boot thread for me a while back - I'll see if I can find it for you. A lot of her finds were on yoox, which intimidates me as a site but since she linked to them it was easy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756279 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 16:44:29 +0000 amiable 756279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite, but I'm not sure why, and I'm certainly no expert - so listen to the other voices more than mine. Just wanted to chime in that I really like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756231 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:56:57 +0000 Scarlet 756231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think for skirts/dresses I would go with number 3, but number 2 wins in terms of sheer awesomeness. I do agree though I think it would work better with trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dressy-bootie-options#post-756229 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:52:36 +0000 Diana 756229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, when Angie posted about the minimal boot capsule a couple of weeks ago, I realized that I currently have NO dressy boots or booties at the moment. I would prefer a bootie to a tall boot as they can be worn under trousers as well as with skirts/dresses. They must be black and have a heel under 2.5", and not be too gappy at the ankle. Oh, and have some interesting detail - I find the plain black, sleek dressy boots so boring.<br /> Anyway, I have found a few options and was wondering what you thought of them. Or, if you have other suggestions, I am all ears.</p> <p>1: Everybody Galla - I like the asymmetric zippers and pleating design, and I like that there is a little dip in the front. The heel is nice and low but still looks like a heel.</p> <p>2: Melin boots that Angie posted about yesterday - I like these but wonder if they are dressy enough especially with skirts. Do the elastic and the block heel make them appear too casual?</p> <p>3: Everybody Gamma - Love the deep cutout front, but are the ruffles and bows too much?</p> <p>ETA: There is also the option of getting one of the Everybody styles in black, and the Melin in red to replace my shoddy Portlandia burgundy booties. </p>
