Aida, you can I posted at the same time. I'm glad you noticed my question. That does help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427397 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:23:44 +0000 Aida 427397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Is is possible to find boots/booties that work with boot cuts, skinnies, and skirts/dresses?"</p> <p>Yes! Part of it will depend on the hem opening/length of your skinnies; if the hem is very narrow you can tuck into the boots, but not wear the boots under; if the hem is wider you may be able to tuck but likely have to wear over the boots. So you'll want to keep in mind the width of the top of the boot and how it will play with your skinnies. Under bootcuts that shouldn't matter As for skirts/dresses you may have to experiment a bit; when you're shorter you have to be more mindful about where short boots hit on your leg and the length of your skirt.</p> <p>EDIT: We posted at the same time ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427396 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 22:23:42 +0000 qfbrenda 427396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bumping hoping Aida might see this I would love other input as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427245 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:44:52 +0000 qfbrenda 427245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's ok! LOL I actually knew the info you posted, but someone else might not have. It was a good reminder for all of us. I'm having to buy more knee high boots because now that my calves are thinner, my boots work with skinnies and look silly with skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427243 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:42:53 +0000 bella 427243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oopps, I just realized that you were asking about short boots and that I didn't respond to your question at all. Sorry Brenda! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427239 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:36:04 +0000 qfbrenda 427239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope to get a pair of lace-up boots at some point, maybe even Docs. Thanks for the info about knee high boots. </p> <p>Mary and Airin, thanks! I'm thinking if it's cold enough for boots at all, I'd rather wear knee high boots with skirts. So I will wear low boots with jeans most of the time. I'm glad to know those would work with either type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427219 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:55:20 +0000 bella 427219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knee high boots can be worn with both dresses and skinnies. Most of the time, the problem is fit. If the boots fit your calves well with dresses, they will be too tight to wear over jeans, or alternatively, if they look ok with skinnies, when worn with dresses, there will be noticeable gap, which is not flattering. The trick is finding the right type of boots. Particularly two types of boots lend themselves well to being worn with boots and skinnies: Slouchy boots and adjustable lace-up boots. </p> <p>You can see Angie wearing her slouchy boots here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/09/29/wearing-dresses-with-slouch-boots/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/09/.....uch-boots/</a><br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/01/20/frye-comfortable-casual-boots-are-forever-fab/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/01/.....rever-fab/</a></p> <p>I also know that a lot of forum members have the tall Dr.Martens that they wear with both skinnies and dresses.<br /> See Angie here:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/02/01/how-to-wear-a-tunic-shirt-casual-dress-code/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/02/.....ress-code/</a><br /> I couldn't find a picture of her wearing her docs with skirts but I am sure she approves. </p> <p>I have a pair of boots very similar to these that can be worn with either:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/STEVEN-Steve-Madden-Womens-Intyce/dp/B000W950EU" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/STEVEN-S.....B000W950EU</a></p> <p>Very sleek, form fitting tall boots can usually only be worn with either dresses or skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427209 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:35:56 +0000 MsMary 427209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do either of these with skinnies, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427207 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:30:24 +0000 Irene 427207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Type Z, but don't know your style. Both would work ON ME with skinnies &amp; dresses, but I don't know what your body type is.</p> <p>PS: I checked your outfits and I think you could definitely pull any of the looks you name off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boot-questions-skinnies-with-short-boots#post-427191 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:06:02 +0000 qfbrenda 427191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to narrow down what to buy this fall. It's looking like I can manage to get a few pairs by Christmas. But since I'm building my fall/winter shoe collection almost from scratch, I really want to get versatile ones if possible.</p> <p>Is is possible to find boots/booties that work with boot cuts, skinnies, and skirts/dresses? Or is it like knee high boots that only work with either skirts OR skinnies? Will I end up needing boots for boot cuts, different ones for skinnies, and still different ones for skirts?</p> <p>What about a mid-calf boot like this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/type-z-kimberly-brown" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/type-z-kimberly-brown</a></p> <p>Would that work with skinnies tucked in? I know it would work with bootcuts. What about skirts? Or is it just an awkward height?</p> <p>Or maybe something like this: <a href="http://www.zappos.com/clarks-dream-belle-black-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/clarks-d.....ck-leather</a></p> <p>I have knee high boots for skinnies in black and cognac, so maybe I should stick with those and just get short boots. </p>
