I think their styles rock. Totally different look than the rose gold Kors, which I also love. I like the boots in the first photo, but am less drawn to the slouchiness seen in the second. Bear in mind, though, this is my personal bias against slouch. I like their distinctiveness, though. LOVE the watch.

Not KILLER. I love the big black watch with the delicious gold trim! If anyone can pull that off - YOU can. ironkurtin on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495168 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:10:10 +0000 ironkurtin 495168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that watch. My only concern is that it sticks out a little bit past your wrist and up a bit, which means it may get banged. If you're more coordinated than I am, then go for it! Iffy on the boots. I like F-Bs but those aren't the sleekest. Do they make you feel like a rock star? If not, pass. If yes, keep. rute on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495165 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:29:01 +0000 rute 495165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also prefer the MK watch you already have! So pretty! teri on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495161 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:20:03 +0000 teri 495161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like your current MK rose gold watch.

I love the watch!! Your rose gold watch is also stunning but the Nixon watch is such a statement piece. I find it very attractive and given you seem to streamlining your style a little I think this could work in your wardrobe. san on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495117 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 06:56:47 +0000 san 495117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the large black watch is interesting but I like the Mk that you have better. The boots aren't as nice as other boots you already have. Now for the bummer part. IMO the silk and leather dress, I don't like the design of it. I don't think the large sleeves are attractive. CocoLion on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495116 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 06:54:55 +0000 CocoLion 495116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Am I the only one who thinks the nixon watch is KILLER, a 10?? Yes it's big but that is the point and the way it sits so perfectly on your wrist makes it work. Also the black is recessive so takes away from the size. And since there's no glare like on the MK watch, that also makes it not so clunky to my eye. Boots are a little redundant. So I'm on the fence, also I can't really tell without seeing them styled in an outfit.

However, your question was 'are they different enough?' I would pose a counter question. Can you put together an outfit that these boots would change the vibe of the overall ensemble? If you can then, yes. If not then, no. rae on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495090 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 05:09:03 +0000 rae 495090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love me some woven boots, and I know you're trying to get more flat boots in the game because of your hip. I like these best pulled up; not sure about scrunched. It seems like scrunching possibly makes the strips look messy instead of intricate. Are your other black boots heeled? cciele on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495070 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 03:31:21 +0000 cciele 495070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yeah, I think for the Nixon watch it has more to do with the color than the size. The combo of both is overpowering, but you can definitely pull off the size. I love F&B boots in general, and those are awesome! But I'd only get them if they are substantially different from others in your boot wardrobe, since you have a lot of awesome boots. annagybe on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495056 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:58:43 +0000 annagybe 495056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok after trying on the watch again I agree it's just too big. Funny thing, there was an article in Sunday's New York Times had article about massive watches. Still debating the boots. My sales person in Via C tried to get in this dress. <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/alexander-wang-utility-leather-trim-shirtdress/3246530?origin=category&resultback=528" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/al.....ltback=528</a> MNsara on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495042 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:42:44 +0000 MNsara 495042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the watch itself, but not how it dwarfs your delicate wrist! I would have been saying 'keep' for the boots if you hadn't just gotten those killer leopard boots! In that you say you already have black boots, then I vote return and wait for some other killer boots. . .

The new watch is so big and so dark I don't think it looks killer. Maybe if it were big or dark not both. Does it come in a lighter color too? The boots are cool but I agree with Isis, they are no contest compared to the animal moto boot which are killer. Isabel on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495038 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:36:32 +0000 Isabel 495038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anna, I LOVE big watches but I agree with the others that it seems to over power you. I think that it is the type of watch that is THE piece in an outfit. I could see someone in a t shirt and jeans and boots and nothing else but the watch. This is not your style, you like print and great accessories. So I say let it go. The boots are an absolute 10 !

Your old watch is much nicer than the new one in my eyes - do not downgrade! The boots are very cool, but again I think you have better pieces (the leopard print moto ones!) that fulfill the same function. I say return both. You're fab and can do better. Amy on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495016 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:11:43 +0000 Amy 495016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your rose gold watch. In general, I like the vibe of the black and gold watch, but agree with the others that it's on the big side. The boots are cool. How do they measure up to your other boots? Isis on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495014 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:04:25 +0000 Isis 495014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your current watch; the Nixon seems overpowering, IMHO. I do like your new boots, but I'm not familiar enough with your current boot collection to say whether they fill a hole.....like Ana, though, I think these are not the same killer, amazing vibe as your animal moto boots.... Emily on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495012 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:03:47 +0000 Emily 495012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that the black watch is too big, but LOVE the boots! Ana on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-495009 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 01:59:50 +0000 Ana 495009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm...I like big watches, but I prefer to keep the case smaller than my wrist, if that makes sense. So no part of the case actually obscures the sides my wrist. So to my eye, the black watch seems humongous. But I think if anyone can pull it off, it's you. Sorry, I know that's not a lot of help. The boots are nice, but not killer to me. I prefer your animal print moto boots (I LOVE those). citygirldc on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-494995 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 01:35:09 +0000 citygirldc 494995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I guess big watches are a trend now. I like your first watch but #2 seems so heavy and bulky. That's just me though. annagybe on "Keep or return watch and boots" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-watch-and-boots#post-494985 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 01:15:55 +0000 annagybe 494985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So the watch was on sale and I had a gift card which paid for part of it. I like big watches, but I'm wondering if it's too big. For reference #1 is my current rose gold Michael Kors watch. #2-#3 is the Nixon watch <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/nixon-the-51-30-chrono-watch/3175705?origin=category&resultback=6898" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ni.....tback=6898</a> #4-#5 are Fiorentini and Baker boots from Barneys, they were also on sale. <a href="http://www.barneys.com/Egon/501049803,default,pd.html?cgid=SHOES10" rel="nofollow">http://www.barneys.com/Egon/50.....id=SHOES10</a> #4 is pulled up, and #5 is scrunched down. I have two other boots from this brand and they are comfortable. But I also have lots of black boots. Are the strips different enough to make it different. Only want to keep if they are killers.
