Why not get both? Haha jk! </p> <p>Mushroom does work as low contrast over your bare legs. But I could see the dark brown working over tights &amp; other looks too (like jeans) - like Donna says, it bookends too.</p> <p>PS - I'm sorry about the parental situation. It's difficult to know what to do but at this stage I'm sure they appreciate you being a sounding board for their pain, even if you can't outright fix their medical issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please/page/2#post-2347443 Fri, 15 Dec 2023 16:12:07 +0000 DonnaF 2347443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you’re maintaining your equilibrium. IMHO espresso/chocolate brown bookends your hair better than black and provides more energy. Maybe your eye color? I love, love, love that color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please/page/2#post-2347432 Fri, 15 Dec 2023 13:59:33 +0000 kellygirl 2347432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your replies! It's so helpful and a nice break from the mundane!&nbsp;<br />@Jonesy: That's interesting! I was wondering if dark brown could work as a neutral or not. I just really wanted to get away from black and was afraid that it was too much the same. I'm going to ponder this some more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please/page/2#post-2347370 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 23:18:27 +0000 Lee 2347370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive and chocolate are my votes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please/page/2#post-2347366 Thu, 14 Dec 2023 23:12:33 +0000 Jonesy 2347366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very late here but wanted to chime in: I am so sorry to hear about your parents--what a difficult, stressful situation, for them and for you!</p> <p>Re. the boots, I'm going to be a spanner (as Angie would say :): I would go with your first instinct and get the chocolate brown! I think they would be splendid with your black print dresses and all of your gorgeous denim. Not sure why, but the mushroom doesn't seem like you, for some reason (can't quite articulate why). I do love the black boots on you too, I think because the bookending with your hair is so effective and visually cohesive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please/page/2#post-2347140 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:34:23 +0000 Nina Ros 2347140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the dark brown ones are the most universal. In case you're in doubt whether it will go well with the dress I can recommend jointrendy.online - it's an extension where you can upload a picture of you in the dress and then virtually try on the shoes and see whether they look good together. It's in beta still but I got lucky to get in, and may I tell you - it is something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please/page/2#post-2347135 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:23:09 +0000 Janet 2347135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you have your decision sorted out, but I just want to send good vibes to you as you deal with the situation with your mom. I know how scary and stressful it can be. Hugs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2347133 Wed, 13 Dec 2023 13:19:08 +0000 Helena 2347133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mushroom looks great!

I was immediately drawn to the mushroom also. I still have my slouchy Frye boots that Angie inspired the first time I ever saw a photo of her!</p> <p>Totally empathize on the parental front. We're going crazy and they're feeling bad all the time, while seeing dozens of doctors. It's not great.&nbsp;</p> <p>But, you look FAB!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346930 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 16:10:03 +0000 Val MN 2346930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team mushroom also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346920 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 15:25:26 +0000 Angie 2346920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Mushroom, <b>Kelly</b>!

I have a similar pair, and I will never get rid of them. What you're going through with your parents is very tough and you have my sympathy. My mother lived with me for the last five years of her life. It is easier in many ways, but definitely not easy, if you know what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346911 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 13:24:36 +0000 RobinF 2346911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't sure at first but I definitely like the mushroom with the dresses you showed us.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry about the stress with your parents.

I would always choose the lowest contrast to your&nbsp; legs (if bare or dressed in&nbsp; tan sheers)=mushroom. Dark choc or black if wearing black sheers/opaques. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346897 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 09:12:51 +0000 Star (Lise) 2346897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, as I thought the mushroom color works perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346893 Mon, 11 Dec 2023 06:29:16 +0000 slim cat 2346893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mushroom boots are so nice on your fab legs!

Nice pick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346861 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 22:26:36 +0000 Irina 2346861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I think any boots would look great on you - you have beautiful legs! Seeing it with dresses, I stick to my choice of mushroom color.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346860 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 22:14:59 +0000 Kate 2346860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the mushroom color, and think it's a great neutral, and an excellent companion for black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346854 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 21:11:29 +0000 LAR101 2346854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice! Love the mushroom with the dresses. I think your analysis is spot on. Nice work! Go reward yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346847 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 20:18:58 +0000 kellygirl 2346847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! We're home. Her issues remain but going to ER seemed to have reduced her anxiety a bit. I just don't know what to do with either of my parents anymore--so many doctors appointments and to still feel crappy is pretty depressing... Contractor started last week to make my mom's bathroom more accessible and we're adding a room to the house for my dad - @93 he won't be living on his own for much longer. DH is going to split time between here and AZ so he doesn't lose his mind.  Anywho, on to the boots.<br /> Thanks for the replies--it's so helpful to hear your analyses.  I'll tell you mine--I was drawn to the dark brown and still am. After looking at the cool toned patterns on my black dresses, I thought that the mushroom/taupe color would work better. It skews a little purple in certain light. It also would also sort of bookend my face and sort of work as a nude. At least I think so. I did a quick try on the other day and thought it worked...but maybe I'll post some pics before I cut the tags, so to speak. As for the other colors, the olive looks a little muddy to me - all though, that could be a good thing. I certainly don't need them but I'm considering them a mental health gift to myself. Thanks for letting me ramble!!</p> <p>@Irina - Haha. thanks for your honesty! I haven't seen much of this style around lately. Last time I had a slouchy pair like this was in the 90s? I am fond of this look though!<br /> ETA: just back from ER so quick photo—heavy black boots (Frye,) is what I’m trying to get away from. Do you think mushroom works here? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346845 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 20:11:37 +0000 Irina 2346845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like mushroom color but honestly, I find the design looking a bit heavy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/humor-me-with-your-opinion-please#post-2346844 Sun, 10 Dec 2023 20:10:31 +0000 Bonnie 2346844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and 3 are my choices. I've been wondering if I need olive boots. This style looks great. </p>
