Just wear the white boots!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877575 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 04:51:30 +0000 Ginger 1877575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>! I was hoping you'd weigh in! I'm really on a campaign to accumulate winter pastels. The contrast with all of the darks makes me so happy. (Weirdly, I like brighter colors in the summer; pastels feel faded.) Will definitely do nude hose. I wish I could bookend, but in the right outfit it should still work.</p> <p>It's great to hear from you, <b>Column</b>. I've been watching 60s and 70s TV and really enjoying how much white is mixed in. I do want to try out some of my lighter colored hosiery, too, just to see.</p> <p><b>Zaeobi</b>, white accessories I think will be a big help. And I like the idea of metallics, too. I have a white scarf with rose gold leaves that might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877573 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 04:45:14 +0000 Ginger 1877573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very encouraging, <b>Diana</b>! You're right, I don't often deal with too much muck. I don't have culottes, but yes, the full skirts are covered. I'm sure you could get away with bare legs here, but I'm a hot-house flower and have about 4 degrees of comfort. Still, there's plenty of days I could wear nude tights. Colored opaques are definitely tricky; I have some very light gray with a woven pattern that might work.<br /><b><br />karen13</b>, thanks for the link! I will definitely explore white in accessories.</p> <p>Love these ideas,&nbsp;<b>The Cat</b>! I know these will look terrific with the puffer. I have a vintage triple strand of big pearls - practically a bib necklace - which would do a lot of bookending.</p> <p><b>Zibbets</b>, fit will be a big part of this! They are definitely returnable. I had to order two sizes because of the pointy toe, which can be tricky for me.I know a snug boot is much better than wide ones for wearing with a skirt, but it's possible to be too tight.</p> <p><b>Irina</b>, I LOVE these ideas. (Reminds me of Princess Charlotte's first day of nursery school outfit this week!) I have several burgundy/dark red dresses and a variety of gray and navy accessories.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877571 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 04:34:09 +0000 Ginger 1877571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>La Ped</b>, I'm going to try it! I don't do denim much, but I think you're right that some of the richer colors and patterns might work.</p> <p>I think you're right,&nbsp;<b>organza</b>. And part of it is getting used to the look. Even my puffer took some getting used to.</p> <p><b>Liz A.</b>, light color booties do make sense. I scored some true gray booties last winter that have helped lighten up winter styles for me.</p> <p><b>lisa p</b>, I know. But the heel height and price are good, so I wanted to try.</p> <p><b>Barbara Diane</b>, I think you're right: tying the white in with some other element will help a lot. I can't bookend like Angie, with her light hair, but I have a white scarf with rose gold leaves on it. And I do wear pearls.</p> <p>I hope they do work out,&nbsp;<b>Christina F</b>. Though I do get that pesky dark spot on the back of my right heel from driving!</p> <p><b>kkards</b>, I like the throwback effect! There was a lot more color then, it seems like. I don't do much denim, but they sure would look great that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877513 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 00:53:43 +0000 Zaeobi 1877513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it already but have you considered white accessories? A white belt, scarf or necklace could look nice with those jewel toned dresses, though you might want to add gold or silver as a bridging piece for that Or have you considered a scarf with a white print? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877509 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 00:36:55 +0000 Column 1877509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Former white go-go boot wearer as a teen here. We wore ours with mini skirts and nude hose, and Angie always knows best. But I would be curious to see how sheer or opaque hose or tights in the same base color of your skirt or dress would look, elongating the line until the dainty boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877484 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 23:12:49 +0000 Angie 1877484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nude hosiery.&nbsp;</p> <p>My blonde hair does a good job of bookending white boots. I see nothing wrong with white boots being a stand alone item though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877483 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 23:08:18 +0000 Angie 1877483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GO TEAM WHITE BOOTS. They are a wardrobe essential for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love what you're putting together here, <b>Ginger</b>. Pastels are gorgeous in Winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877472 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 22:53:03 +0000 Irina 1877472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like to see if a red or burgundy dress works with the white boots. I imagine a red dress, nude hosiery, white coat and boots, grey patterned scarf and grey purse. Or with the navy bag/scarf combo. High contrast, modern and not too matchy-match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877464 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 22:06:52 +0000 Zibbets 1877464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think white boots could work with your dresses, but I'm cautious because they call it a "sock boot" and say it fits like a sock. They might be too thin and tight to be not covered with a pant leg. They might be great! Give it a shot if you can return! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877450 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 21:23:38 +0000 The Cat 1877450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely think you can wear white boots if you love them. Try bookending them with your white puffer or other white items on your top half. (White hat, white glasses, white scarf and white jewellery are just a few of many possibilities, and so are items that just contain some white.) Hosiery could be offwhite knitted qualities, or opaque or sheer in the colour of your dress. Sheer nudes is another possibility and will make the outfit look light and springy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877441 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 20:58:47 +0000 karen13 1877441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would a white purse, belt or statement earrings be enough to tie the white in?

I am biased against them though as they always look very "little girl" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877385 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 17:39:47 +0000 kkards 1877385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>white boots always take me back to the gogo boots of the 1970s...</p> <p>do you wear white denim? these would totally make an outfit with white denim pop! </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877383 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 17:29:53 +0000 Christina F. 1877383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd destroy white boots on the city sidewalks, but more power to those who can wear them.

I’m finding it easier for me. I have a pair of bright blue ankle pants that I’m eager to wear together. I have noticed some looks when I’ve worn them out but I’m okay with it. It was the same when ankle boots were first paired with dresses. Now we think nothing of it. Watching the sales now for red or burgundy booties. Have fun and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877308 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:19:46 +0000 Ginger 1877308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi&nbsp;<b>Liz A&nbsp;</b>- no, I haven't, but I know some people do. That's why I'm asking!</p> <p><b>Toban</b>, I know they'll look great with the puffer. You're right, I will probably just have to try outfits.</p> <p><b>UmmLila</b>, I think that's the challenge for me. The skirts have white, so they tie in very well. I'm not sure how to incorporate white with the other dresses, or what hosiery to use in the gap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877307 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:17:17 +0000 LaPed 1877307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can absolutely see you wearing these. Would be quite a Snow Queen look with that glorious puffer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Me, on the other hand, I'd never be able to pull that off (and they'd be grey by the end of the day). </p> <p>ETA: They might not work with dark denim, but what about with grey or coloured jeans (red/burgundy, printed, etc)?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877303 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 15:07:56 +0000 Liz A. 1877303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just can't with white boots personally.&nbsp; Have you had success with white footwear in winter before? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877289 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:40:30 +0000 Toban 1877289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots look promising with your wardrobe. And it sounds like a gap given your jacket. I think you should order them, see if your feet like them, and try the outfit combinations in real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877288 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:39:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1877288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white also for these boots in winter looks, assuming other light spots in the outfit as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-boots-since-we-wear-them-how-about-white-in-winter-with-dresses#post-1877287 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 14:34:15 +0000 Ginger 1877287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Lisa's thread I followed a link and find these white boots. Not expensive, but I love the very dainty styling and low heel. And the white! I am desperate for pastels in the winter. This winter, my absolute favorite item is the gorgeous white puffer.</p> <p>But I have a very small capsule of light-colored and pastel items.&nbsp; I'm particularly short of those Essentials that "glue" the pieces together.&nbsp; These boots may be an essential... but they may also end up as orphans.&nbsp; I <b>must </b>have at least three outfits I am confident I can wear them with.</p> <p>In boot weather, my outfit formulas are:</p> <p>* dress or skirt &amp; top &amp; hosiery<br />* short dress &amp; (dark) leggings or jeggings<br />* top &amp; jeans</p> <p>I prefer more casual footwear with my jeans, and I'm skeptical that dark leggings will look or fit right with these boots. So that leaves #1.</p> <p>I have several skirts with white backgrounds that I know will work, like the skirt in the Find. &nbsp;There's no black in it, mostly a purpley taupe. I usually pair it with the pink Uniqlo sweater. It's a very pastel look and I expect the white boots will be perfect. Another skirt has a more vivid print, and works with black or red footwear; I think it would play nicely with white, too.</p> <p>But most of my dresses and skirts are dark colors, with a few jewel tones. These always work in winter with black, nude, or patterned tights and black footwear. But will white boots look strange? What hosiery is recommended?&nbsp;</p> <p>And this may all be a moot point, since they may not like my feet!</p> <p> </p>
