I can already style them with casual skirts. I just turn up the fold and wear them like all-black chunky hiking boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591310 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 15:00:47 +0000 approprio 1591310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is exactly why YLF is such a brilliant community - 24/7 style advice from well-dressed buddies on other continents. It's really fun to see the styling process. As an unrepentant wearer of chunky, comfortable shoes (indispensable in a rainy city paved with cobble stones) I can fully sympathise. Those boots are made for walking.&nbsp;Now go style them with a skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591293 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 13:33:01 +0000 Maneera 1591293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann! I'm feeling a lot better about these boots after this exercise. I think my eye needed time to adjust, plus I really needed to figure out combinations. </p> <p>Thanks a ton for your detailed feedback :)</p> <p>Thanks Jaime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591284 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 12:23:12 +0000 Beth Ann 1591284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm completely "off" of my tall boots this year, and am wearing all ankle and midcalf versions. &nbsp;This is working out well, since the winter has, so far, been more Mumbai than Indianapolis, and I'm finding my combinations affected by the switch, too.</p> <p>I actually love #1 --- the crisp energy of the argyle, and the texture of the quilted jacket. &nbsp;The proportions seem fine to me, although I could indeed see this combo with a sleek pair of tall riding boots. &nbsp;I also love #2, and suspect that you could layer the scarf in #2 over the simple stripe in #3. &nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm glad your parka has been resurrected to see the light of day again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591149 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 02:30:39 +0000 Jaime 1591149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane is wonderful! Your positivity trumps all the other accessories but I really like #2 too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591148 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 02:28:50 +0000 Maneera 1591148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha! Ok that cracked me up L'Abeille! I really needed it too!!! </p> <p>Hilarious! So thank you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591144 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 02:26:32 +0000 L'Abeille 1591144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this tells you more about me than about your sleek aesthetic, but when I squinted at your heading with bleary eyes this morning, I thought I read "lace-up boots, Firefly styled", so I immediately had to check it out.</p> <p>Not Firefly styled at all, but looking fan, Manny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591136 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 02:17:25 +0000 Maneera 1591136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I can see that #2 is the clear winner here (it's my favourite too). </p> <p>Good to see you Jenn! I've missed you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591052 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 23:45:20 +0000 Jenn 1591052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you've totally GOT IT now. I'm especially fond of the look with the plaid scarf in #2. So cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591024 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 20:50:05 +0000 Nicky 1591024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591019 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 20:07:39 +0000 Anonymous 1591019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job. &nbsp;I am thoroughly impressed with the end results. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1591009 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 19:40:22 +0000 JAileen 1591009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 2 best. 2 is a nice general outfit, while 1 looks a bit like snow bunny at the lodge. Both are very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1590971 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 17:06:35 +0000 Maneera 1590971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara. Yes, the boots can be folded up so the fur tucks in and the whole look is just black. I usually wear the boots folded up - easier to wear with anything &amp; everything </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1590960 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 15:53:00 +0000 Sara L. 1590960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them with the scarf outfit in #2 as well.&nbsp; I like the jacket with the bit of fur to match the boots.&nbsp; Can the folded part of the boots be worn up as well?&nbsp; I've seen boots where they can be worn up or folded down and was wondering if your's were like that or only worked down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1590936 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 15:02:50 +0000 Maneera 1590936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, Angie. That's exactly what Diane said too!!! And I really like them too. That's exactly what I'll be wearing because I agree myself. The little white on top really makes the look more 'deliberate' and cohesive. </p> <p>The jacket I love in 7/8 is the final topper </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1590919 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 14:35:46 +0000 Angie 1590919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute. I like the versions where you pick up a bit of the cream up top best - like #2 with the scarf, and #3 with the stripe. But #4 and #5 are fab too. Well done. Your new furry boots are adorable - just like you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1590916 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 14:27:09 +0000 Anonymous 1590916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab boots for a cold day. They look like they would keep toes toasty warm. My favorite styling is 2 with the scarf, perfect with these boots, followed by 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lace-up-boots-finally-styled#post-1590875 Mon, 07 Dec 2015 10:45:31 +0000 Maneera 1590875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers,</p> <p>I bought these lace-up boots a while back because they offer great support to my bothersome feet. But I've really really been struggling to style them. Every Time I have put them on with an outfit in the past, I quickly changed them for other boots because I simply didn't like the look. At all! I'm just too used to tall boots with jeans. Yet everytime I did wear them, my feet were infinitely happier than in any other boots. So I really needed to train my eye and find a way to wear these. </p> <p>Today I was determined to figure out how to wear them. I showered, and I sought the help of the one person who never ever let's me down - Diane G. Btw Diane is a rockstar and she is amazingly patient. I try clothes, I click photos and send them to her, and she immediately gives me advice on how to tweak the outfit to get what I want. She really understands my style and my aesthetic sense and never fails to nudge me in the right direction when I'm feeling frustrated that something doesn't work for my body. </p> <p>Today, with her very valuable help, I have finally nailed these buggers! The first outfit made it clear I needed a more fluid, relaxed fit in sweater and also needed a longer sweater to compensate for the short length of these boots. </p> <p>Here, I want to show our process. Diane kept suggesting styles &amp; lengths and I dug into my closet. You'll see that by photo #6 I've figured it out. And #7 is my favourite - my fur boots have found a furry friend in my old and trusty black parka! It's more than 8 years old and badly abused, but I think it's the perfect match for these boots! (Far better than the shorter black jacket in #1). </p> <p>Thank you Diane! You're irreplaceable and priceless I wouldn't know what to do about you! And thank you Angie - it's because of you that my eye is more trained in proportions. </p> <p>I have wet floppy I combed hair and didn't even bother to moisturize my face before I started this exercise ....pls excuse my unkempt state. But my happiness factor is really high by the end!!! I think - that's what really counts, right?! </p> <p>Thanks for looking! Your suggestions are all very welcome. </p>
