Heavy black boots with all sorts of looks -- especially wide leg pants and dress -- was all the rage in NZ and is what I'm seeing in Europe as well. I'd guess that these will only look better and better over the coming years, and they are totally you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2302076 Sat, 14 Jan 2023 16:53:31 +0000 CarolS 2302076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>suntiger</b>!</p> <p><b>Donna</b> -- you are the queen of awesome but comfy footwear. May I say I kind of worship at your feet?!</p> <p><b>Lesley</b> --&nbsp; Making a note to check out the Watcher or at least the style from the show. Sounds like some good inspiration!</p> <p><b>Sharan</b> -- yes, it's just lovely with Bijou's style!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301879 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 20:23:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2301879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, Carol! No Gucci belt in my future, either! We can admire Bijou's!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301873 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:46:21 +0000 Lesley 2301873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh ooh, inspiration food for thought, too: Currently watching The Watcher on Netflix. It's a pretty silly show, and maybe thriller/horror isn't your thing, but Naomi Watts's wardrobe is pretty darn cool. Lots of tans, creams, and whites from the ankle up, then capped off with black stompy boots. It totally works. I would be curious to try them out that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301872 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:46:07 +0000 Echo 2301872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote KEEP and I love them. Then again, I am more on the side of too much is never enough as far as embellishment goes. But I particularly love pearl details on boots, as they can lean punky/stompy or dressier. Add in the comfort factor and your happiness wearing them, and they're a win. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301869 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:42:44 +0000 Lesley 2301869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're pretty fun, a modern way to do a punk look, but the thing that really gets me is your grin in these photos--I want to have that much fun in all my outfits! If I have a pair of inexpensive, comfy boots that makes me smile that much, you had better believe I would buy them first and ask style questions later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301866 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:32:54 +0000 DonnaF 2301866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only YOU can figure out if you would actually wear the boots; we at YLF are a bunch of enablers, lol. I bought a similar pair of boots at a similar price last year but ultimately decided they were too chunky for short me, and silver but not pearls are more in my wheelhouse. That being said, I just bought the uber chunky silver boots below but have yet to wear them. My Michael Kors boots are way sparklier and chunkier than they look in the photo so I have to be mindful of what I pair with them.</p> <p>Btw, I have super fussy feet and have learned it is easier to get a comfy fit with combat style boots. Don't ask me how many pairs I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301824 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:32:09 +0000 Anonymous 2301824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're very cool- I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301818 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 16:22:06 +0000 CarolS 2301818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I just say how much I am enjoying this thread? I love the diversity of opinions and appreciate that you're not all just "being nice". (I mean you are not being unkind, but I think you're being HONEST, which is just so much more interesting and informative!)</p> <p><b>Lyn, anchie, star, kkards, missvee&nbsp;</b>-- thanks! I guess bottom line is that I have room to play. Yes to adding white OR keeping an outfit all black, to playing the boot up and playing it down.&nbsp;<b></p> <p>Jessikams&nbsp; </b>--&nbsp; that's it -- tongue in cheek fancy. While I struggle to find legit fancy, some cheeky fancy won't hurt my cause. (And gives me some fun options to play around with.) A blazer would be fab.&nbsp;<b></p> <p>Robin</b> -- yes, I think a bit of white somewhere would be effective! I've been on the lookout for the right white shirt forever. Maybe this will be the year....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301791 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 13:38:52 +0000 RobinF 2301791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're fun! I'd love to see them with white in the top someplace to kind of tone down the brightness of the pearls. But the price is good and they are comfy - keep.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots/page/2#post-2301788 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 13:20:01 +0000 Jessikams 2301788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowwwwww keeeeeeeepp or send them to me (just kidding wrong size)</p> <p>I adore shoes like this: sort of tongue-in-cheek “fancy.” Would be fab with a really sharp blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301784 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 13:03:19 +0000 missvee 2301784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep! &nbsp;I love them with the jeans in #4. &nbsp;Keep the outfit simple (white shirt or dark pullover) and let these boots do all the talking. &nbsp;I don’t think you need to add more pearls (sorry Angie). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301774 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:59:42 +0000 Star (Lise) 2301774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just to clarify, I do love them with 3 strands, but was commenting would prefer style with pearl stud earrings rather thank a necklace.&nbsp; I also really like them with slimmer pants.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301773 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:52:00 +0000 kkards 2301773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg keep! &nbsp;<div>And I respectfully disagree with Angie, lyn67, &amp; Star, I love #4 &amp; #1 with the slimmer pants and the 3 strands! &nbsp; And easy way to add interest and bling to an everyday outfit. &nbsp;Please you like the way they fit! &nbsp; And I was just reading yesterday that embellished footwear is a trend for spring. &nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301769 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 10:54:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2301769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep!&nbsp; Agee with LJP re styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301757 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:22:49 +0000 anchie 2301757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If they make you smile - keep them! I would style them with something simple, like all black, and let them be that star of the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301755 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 08:17:51 +0000 lyn67 2301755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, came back to say a big wow&nbsp; for <b>Jenni</b>'s true punky boots either! Think in that pictie she styled them really great (with no other focal point-and that is what I would suggest for <b>You</b>, too -so I would style them rather how <b>Lisa</b> said).&nbsp;<br />And yes&nbsp;<b>Carol&nbsp; and everybody&nbsp;</b>we cannot asset a new item's right value (for you) without the exact personal styling. And even including that our opinions are always very subjective-love that you are aware of that, <b>Carol</b>:-) -that's why we ask- to see us through others peoples eyes...isn't it? <br />So, if they fit so well, and you can make them work for your life-you scored, girl!!!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301749 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 05:28:45 +0000 CarolS 2301749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose I could fish out a pair of white jeans to try with them, Stag. - and white would probably work well with the mix of pearl and silver. I don't have any bright coloured pants (a linen pair, but wrong season) . </p> <p>And now I've just had this flash of dreaming these boots were white with pearl and silver trim.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301747 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 05:16:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2301747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why are you only showing them with dark bottoms? I want to see them with brights, or maybe white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301745 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 04:56:11 +0000 CarolS 2301745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha -- thanks, <b>Sharan</b>. I think there is no Gucci belt in my future --&nbsp; I have neither the budget nor the waist for it! But I expect they will attract some other blingy companion at some point.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301743 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 04:53:13 +0000 CarolS 2301743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Jaime</b> -- I do seem to keep talking myself INTO them rather than out....&nbsp;</p> <p>LOL, <b>Irina </b>-- thank goodness we all have different styles, or the world and this forum would be very dull! I have to say these are a leap for me, but one I might be ready to take since I don't have a lot to lose on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301742 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 04:46:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2301742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you can have fun with them. I LOVE them with the pinstripe pants. Since they are not expensive, If you get tired of them after a season, you can donate them without guilt. After reading <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-whiteout">Bijou's white-out post</a>, I am thinking a nice pearl-embellished Gucci belt would be fun to pair with them. That would make for a more expensive wild card wardrobe addition, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301741 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 04:43:38 +0000 CarolS 2301741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such interesting and diverse feedback! Thanks, everyone. This is really helping me think about how I would actually fit these into my wardrobe.</p> <p><b>Jonesy</b> -- they are a bit outside of the usual for me, so it might take a bit of adjusting to the bling. But sometimes I feel I need that bit of interest, and it's not always easy for me to come by.</p> <p><b>Style Fan</b> -- I think you get the challenges of tricky feet!</p> <p><b>Lisa</b> - why am I not surprised that you had these! I know they have to be a few seasons old and heaven only knows how they turned up in Marshall's... but, as Angie and others have pointed out, shoes with interest aren't the easiest thing for me to find, and I might be ready for a dash of OTT... Whether to keep something otherwise simple and conservative from being a snooze or, heaven forbid, to someday go full throttle bling... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301735 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 03:51:56 +0000 Irina 2301735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Horses for courses and all that but that would be a no from me. Maybe they can be worn as a part of an evening outfit.&nbsp;<div>But because our styles are so different, maybe a no from me means you should keep it :)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301730 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 03:46:00 +0000 Jaime 2301730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! I especially like them with the coated jeans. Of course I am a terrible enabler because I keep a lot of fun shoes gotten for little money! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301683 Fri, 13 Jan 2023 00:20:25 +0000 LJP 2301683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had these same boots a few years ago and ended up passing them on after a season . They were fun enough but in the end I felt they were a little too over the top for how I wanted to dress .Zara footwear also doesn’t fit me well ( I’m exactly in between sizes ) and that didn’t help . Contrary to what others suggested , I wouldn’t wear a pearl necklace with these . I could see some very classic pearl stud earrings at most or maybe a bracelet with a pearl inset . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301668 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 23:29:57 +0000 Style Fan 2301668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them. I think you could have fun styling them. I have problems finding footwear, so if cute boots came along that worked for my feet, I would grab them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301627 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:54:20 +0000 Jonesy 2301627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me?! KEEP! I love them the most with the cuffed bf jeans and the culottes :). Show these babies off, I say! Your hair is a mix of dark and light, so to my eye, you already have a built-in bookending thing happening. And they are a cool mix of that practical, Blundstone-esque shape paired with the pearl bling--I think they are a great addition to your style. </p> <p>How do you feel in them? Would you be self-conscious wearing them out and about during the day, because of the bling? I had a pair of silver booties a while back that I felt self-conscious about wearing to work initially, but once I wore them a few times, they seemed totally normal and not too flashy at all, lol.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301622 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:28:03 +0000 CarolS 2301622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz </b>-- I have to agree that the amount of embellishment feels like a lot to me, too. But, in the spirit of leaving no stone unturned, decided to give a try. You make an <b>excellent</b> point about the merits of styling to help people visualize -- much as home staging helps buyers imagine themselves in a house... Forehead slap. I need to play with that a bit more for my own evaluative purposes, too..... Thanks for that clarity!</p> <p>ETA - and I do quite will with European sizing. These are a 39, which is what I wear in Ecco. But they fit larger than my Eccos do.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---thoughts-on-these-boots#post-2301618 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 19:19:12 +0000 CarolS 2301618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool boots, <b>Jenni</b>!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Angie</b>! I can only remove one of the strands, but I CAN hide them under longer pants. And yes, need something else light in the outfit!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for your candour, <b>Dee</b> -- I have to be pretty creative with my definition of dressy until I can find something that meets the more 'traditional' standard, but I know what you mean. I think I could punk them up (per Jenni's suggestion) when the situation calls for it, or use them to add edge to a conservative look.&nbsp; </p>
