The boots look great on you; I'm glad you are keeping them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-721437 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:27:38 +0000 Nadya 721437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great investment, Rae. I bought my first pair of Frye boots last year and love them deeply. My Frye oxfords, alas, aren't quite as comfortable, but they're fine for work and casual outtings. Looking forward to seeing your $20 laceup score! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719874 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:29:37 +0000 CocoLion 719874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them with the skinny jeans/jeggings and red coat as well as the dress. I like the way they look with the bf's also, but maybe with a longer, fuller topper. Like a stadium or fuller moto jacket or longer blazer, something more manly than the cropped suede scuba jacket. The top underneath could be very fitted however, to show off your waist. The reason I think you can pull of very masculine outfits is your long, long hair and your hourglass figure. And let's add your beautiful smile and flawless skin to that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719868 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:12:04 +0000 fern 719868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the heel on those. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719850 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 06:12:32 +0000 Marley 719850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719788 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:58:50 +0000 rae 719788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alrighty, these lovelies have migrated from their box into my closet! Now I just need a chance to wear them. Thanks so much for taking the time to check them out and evaluate the look with the BF jeans. </p> <p>Nadya, these weren't from the swap meet - though I have to share with the forum a lace up pair I got for $20 (!), I hardly ever see Frye's at the swap meet. Just a testament to the fact that they last forever and retain their resale value as well. These were actually a rare investment piece for me. I am realllly trying to take care of my feet this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719779 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:45:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 719779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719772 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 03:35:43 +0000 Nadya 719772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh.

The jeans look is new for me, so I'm really stoked that it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719678 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:23:43 +0000 Angie 719678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. </p> <p>Keep. I like them best with the baggy jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719677 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:22:59 +0000 Jaime 719677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boots are so you they almost seem like an organic extension of your body. Well, something like that. I love the blue color in the first sweater and dress on you also. Great with the jeans too obviously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719669 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:19:11 +0000 Sara L. 719669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always look at these and wonder how to style them - I have a mental block against mid-calf boots. I have a pair of suede green ones that stymied me all last winter. Anyway...great styling and I'm going to try to remember this post when it gets cooler and I pull those green boots out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719653 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:00:29 +0000 Carole 719653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a big fat 10 from me.

I think they work for the BF because the slouchiness is sort of equal all round, you know? It's a very forgiving relationship. And they are SO your style. It was worth spending the money on these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719605 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:23:43 +0000 KathyL 719605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the boots on you! The tucked in bf's are great. I thought they were straight legs before I read the description ... Not too baggy and not too fitted. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719577 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:00:19 +0000 Thistle 719577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are fab boots and so perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719571 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:57:13 +0000 kellygirl 719571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*swoon* OMG, you must keep.

What a great ab workout, wow! And very fun. </p> <p>Claire, I missed that about the creases in jeans - and here I thought Angie was dead set against creases. I could definitely see ironing some in for a strict, military vibe. I'm so laughing at the image of you paddling about on a boogie board... hehe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719563 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:51:17 +0000 Anonymous 719563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I instantly thought of Ceit in hers too. And Angie mentioned something in passing about loving jeans with ironed creases tucked into boots lately! What do you think of that? So anyway, I love these a lot if the comfort is there for you.</p> <p>BTW, I LOVE paddle boarding! We tried it in Hawaii and I was hooked. I wonder if I could buy a little boogie board and go around in circles in my pool? So much fun, but I'd probably get dizzy. : / </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719560 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:47:32 +0000 san 719560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These boots are perfect on you and I love how you've styled them. You are so cute with your beach hair. It sounds like fun to paddle board. I'm pretty jealous about that, I want to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719551 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:43:40 +0000 Anonymous 719551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the slightly higher heel on the Vera compared to the normal Frye 12R engineer!</p> <p>And tuck all the way....maybe we can convert others </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719544 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:38:31 +0000 rae 719544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, I'd hoped you would chime in, as you were the inspiration for tucked BFs in the first place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719543 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:37:25 +0000 Anonymous 719543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know I love the tucked in BF look.

I'm adjusting to the tucked in BF look, but this seems right - not excessively tight but not slopping around either. Sweet score for you! These will look even better as you wear them out and about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/frye-vera-short-engineer-boot#post-719522 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:17:28 +0000 rae 719522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My boots are here! Please excuse the bikini top and beach hair and quick outfits cobbled from what I could grab fastest - we'd just been upright paddle boarding, but these boots would wait for no showers/grooming/proper styling. o_0</p> <p>I'm already kind of in love with these, but I thought I'd run them past you guys. How are they with the BF jeans? I was hoping to use these to make the BFs winter ready. Also, the distressing is pretty streaky on one boot... I don't really think I car, but I could just use some shoe polish on everything and make 'em regular black if it begins to bug me later.</p> <p>If anyone else is considering these, I usually have to size down 1/2 to a whole size in Frye, but I'm SO glad I also ordered my regular 8.5 in these, as they are TTS for me. VERY comfy, perfect heel height, enough room for foot swelling on vacation or on a plane, yet not falling off. Shaft slim enough that I'm not standing in big black buckets. </p>
