And so do you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas/page/2#post-738891 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:32:46 +0000 christy 738891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the additional comments. I'm going to play around in my closet this weekend and put some outfits together and see what comes together. I do know that I don't need to repeat the color elsewhere in the outfit - red is a neutral after all!</p> <p>Thanks Jenava for the additional photo. And I was wondering about pairing them with the midi skirts, so I'm glad to hear that worked for you. </p> <p>I'm still hoping that other owners add pics as they put outfits together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas/page/2#post-738875 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:17:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 738875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely adore the Pliner's on you Christy - so much so, that I kind of regret not ordering them myself. I think they have a unique style to them that sets them apart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas/page/2#post-738871 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:13:42 +0000 MNsara 738871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto, what Sveta and Zap said. Those are the same thoughts I had as I looked at pics and wondered . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas/page/2#post-738842 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:36:11 +0000 Janet 738842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I've just revisited this and looked through the alternate choices again, and I can see why some of the others would be easier to style, but I still like the Pliners best. </p> <p>I know I'm going to have to do some experimenting with these as well. The cuffed style is a little more challenging and less straightforward than a style that hugs the ankle and fits nicely under the hem of jeans, etc., but that's also part of the appeal of them -- they're a little different and will call some attention to themselves. I'm taking notes from Jenava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738831 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:15:06 +0000 Anonymous 738831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the boots look great on you. With that said, I am very cerebral when it comes to returning an item, when I run into a situation like this. I'd rather have the regret of returning something prematurely, than having an orphan in my closet. I think you will have an easier time styling these if you don't try to repeat the color elsewhere, as others indicated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738819 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:46:12 +0000 Sveta 738819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, these Pliner boots look very good on you - why do you have second thoughts? I know you said you don't know how to style them but is it a usual issue for you when you get some new style to play with or is this just these particular boots? What I want to say that if you usually find it not easy to get a new style incorporated into your wardrobe it may be just an adjustnment factor. On the other hand it may be that this particular style - does not matter how great, trendy and interesting - does not work for your style.<br /> I think they should work for all wasy of wear you described - under bootcuts, with skinnies, I would also try them with shorter modern dresses - and you can wear them uncuffed under the skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738722 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 05:35:02 +0000 Kate 738722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Pliners on you, Christy, both cuffed and uncuffed. However, if they aren't wowing you, then return 'em and choose something that does. You've picked out some great substitutes. I hadn't heard of Planet Shoes either—thanks Una!—and one of your choices, the Wolky Tyler, was my top pick after I paged through all the booties earlier. I also really like #3 and #6. Right now, I'm trying to talk myself down from buying that boot. Guess I'll have to go read up on the planet's return policy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738719 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 05:29:39 +0000 RunningSue 738719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will add my 2 cents. I bought those boots in that color and brought them back. They are funky, trendy, comfortable and great quality, just not for me. I have found that when I start second guessing I need to bring the item back. It usually means something about it is not working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738701 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:49:46 +0000 Jenava 738701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, FWIW, I try not to think about matching the color. I don't mind mixing this color with lots of colors that "go" but don't match. I don't feel I need to have the color repeated elsewhere in my outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738700 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:48:03 +0000 Jenava 738700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie - these boots are more stylish and probably better or as good quality as the others you posted - and I think they're the most modern.</p> <p>I adore mine. They're so soft and comfy and the color is good. I tend to wear mine with skinny jeans rolled up and the cuffs down, but you could also wear the cuffs up under bootcuts. I've also worn mine with the vince camuto midi tube skirt. (sorry no piccie of that one).</p> <p>Here's another outfit with white denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738686 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:18:14 +0000 Angie 738686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy, I hear you. The cuff is harder to style than an uncuffed style - although you can uncuff them. Have you tried them with your BF jeans? White jeans? Try them with a casual dress too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738684 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:15:30 +0000 christy 738684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And yes, you are absolutely right about "cool" being overused. I want a modern vibe that's a little "risky" for me, a little "out there". I'm having trouble coming up with the words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738682 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:13:24 +0000 christy 738682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in Angie - I agree that they are cool and funky and I love them in Jenava's posts! I'm just having trouble styling them for myself for some reason. I'll keep playing around with them. Do you think they can work with skirts on me? Cuffed or uncuffed? And obviously they work with skinnies tucked into them. I'll keep working on it! I have my homework! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738679 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:08:37 +0000 Angie 738679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't get what is not "cool, modern and funky" about the Pliners. To my eye, they are a cut above all the other styles you posted.</p> <p>We've also got to get away from using the word cool all the time. It seems so over used - don't you think? Topic for another day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738677 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:05:51 +0000 christy 738677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone - sounds like overall the recommendation is to keep the Pliners. I'll keep playing around with them and see how they work.</p> <p>Thistle - thanks for the Wolky info<br /> Anna - thank you for pointing out Jenava's outfits<br /> Parlsey - I hope you'll post your outfits. They sound great!<br /> Rita - I'm wondering if a straight-up ankle-high bootie would be better?<br /> Deborah - I will absolutely consider these a neutral. I just through them on with this shirt because I liked the reds together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738655 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 03:24:31 +0000 Jaime 738655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. I love these on you, but maybe just try on #3? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738654 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 03:24:16 +0000 Deborah 738654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Christy I have a preferenced for the boots in #1 un cuffed, but both work. I also Love the boots in 6/7/8 ... sorry I am not much help. I would keep #1. </p> <p>Have you thought to treat these boots (being red or burgundy) as a neutral and not worry too much about "matching" them. I think they look great on your leg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738652 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 03:22:14 +0000 modgrl 738652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color and I think they look cool with this outfit. Honestly I find this mid-calf length hard to wear. I like some of the other booties better. I think they would be more versatile with skirts, dresses, jeans etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738648 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 03:19:00 +0000 rae 738648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them worn both up and down. Anna's got you covered pointing you to Jenava's pics. </p> <p>I DO really like the looks of the Fluevogs, though... and I am not usually a Vogger. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738635 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 03:05:52 +0000 Susie 738635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 2,3,4 and 7. BUT I love the Pliners on you, very much. I think you can wear them either way, though i prefer them cuffed in that picture. But they don't look weird uncuffed! I think they fit very well with your style goal. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738619 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 02:43:41 +0000 Anonymous 738619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them on you! Maybe wait for the weather to cool? I think they totally meet your goals for your casual style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738599 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 02:25:18 +0000 Parsley 738599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I vote KEEP! They look great on you! The other pictures you've posted look nice, but I don't like any of them as well as the Pliners.</p> <p>I have the Pliner boots and love them! I hadn't worn them until the last week or so because it's been hot here, but now that it's getting cooler I'm wanting to wear them all the time! I think the heel height is perfect- just low enough that they're totally comfortable to walk in, but not flat. I love the color, too- a beautifully complex shade of red that is not too bright, but still definitely red.<br /> So far I've worn mine uncuffed with skinny jeans tucked into them, and I really like how they look. I'm sure I'll try them cuffed, too, just for variety.</p> <p>I'll try to post an outfit picture soon. This past Sunday I wore them to breakfast at our local coffee shop with skinny jeans and an over-sized chambray shirt partially unbuttoned over a black tank. Totally simple, but I felt like the boots made the outfit so much more interesting. I wore them again today with black skinnies, a black tee, and a big slouchy black, gray and white patterned cardigan. Once again they made me feel fab as can be.</p> <p>All that said, if you don't really love them then you should return them. But before you do, play around with some outfits. I really liked how they looked on you with that striped shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738579 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 02:02:23 +0000 Glory 738579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love every one of these, but the ones you have on totally rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738576 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:56:54 +0000 JAileen 738576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 3, 6, and 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738539 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:13:46 +0000 annagybe 738539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah it's mainly the weather. I even considered returning them but they're the only flat burgundy boot that I really like. Plus I got fashion side tracked by my Isabel Marant wedge sneakers. I have the perfect outfit for the DJP's, just waiting till it gets cooler.</p> <p>ETA Jenava has worn them a bunch, scroll through her outfits.<br /> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ABR9ZxzKBPg/UDWaSbsIaCI/AAAAAAAAIKA/EnVjYpcPcMc/s1600/_IGP6751.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ABR9.....GP6751.JPG</a><br /> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w5BBBsZ8aUU/UCaxzCI4h7I/AAAAAAAAIF4/O0_q2oeuvEk/s1600/_IGP6702.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w5BB.....GP6702.JPG</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---donald-pliner-boots-from-nas#post-738537 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 01:12:56 +0000 Janet 738537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't worn mine yet either but I've been waiting for cooler weather.
