Shoe booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893199 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 14:21:42 +0000 LaPed 1893199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate the distinction between boot and bootie. Boot implies utility, whereas a bootie, to me, sounds delicate. This is also making me realize that I'm an unrepentant Boot Person. I'm attracted to the aesthetic of lug soles and thick leather. I have a hard time adding the more refined styles; a pair of "occasion booties" is a long-time HEWI that I've written about several times now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893197 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 14:16:05 +0000 Elizabeth P 1893197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should bring up boots vs booties Suz.&nbsp; I was recently trying to&nbsp; label a find, and didn't even see "boots" in the categories I had to choose from.&nbsp; There were mid calf boots, and high boots, but no ankle boots, which was what these were.&nbsp; I also differentiate between the two, and think of booties being more of a dress/refined/less tough boot.&nbsp; Boots are boots, maybe with a more utilitarian function?&nbsp; </p> <p>Hmm, thinking something like a Doc Marten.... no way would I think of those as a bootie.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyhoo.............. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893189 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 13:45:42 +0000 Suz 1893189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan,</b> it's not a distinction that matters too much to you. It's about my weather and lifestyle vs. my style preferences.&nbsp;</p> <p>Technically, perhaps all short boots are "booties."&nbsp;</p> <p>But for my non-stop walking lifestyle in a city where slush, ice, snow, and a mixture of those with salt and grit are a fact of life for at least 5 months a year, and where casual dress is the environmental norm, the pretty booties (relatively thin soled, delicate leather or suede) that would work wonderfully, even in this city, if I drove to work and had an office job, languish in my closet without a single wear. Whereas a more rugged boot will be worn and worn often.&nbsp;</p> <p>My style preference is for more refined footwear, but my life dictates otherwise.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893112 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 05:28:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1893112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are awesome, Suz. Glad you're keeping them. I agree with Dianna, they look so much more beautiful in all your photos than in the stock photo. I'm with Janet--you've made me covet them, even though another pair of boots is the last thing I need. (And I'm not sure I get your distinction between boots and booties; guess I missed that thread. . . . off to look!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893106 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 04:26:54 +0000 Dianna 1893106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, those boots are fantastic, I am glad you are keeping them because they look better on you than on the stock photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893094 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 02:59:48 +0000 Marilyn 1893094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input on the Dres, <b>Suz</b> and <b>Elizabeth</b>.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893084 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 02:23:55 +0000 Suz 1893084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!&nbsp;</p> <p>My Dres are my normal size, too. They vary, though, in fabrication. So some fit looser than others. These ones used to be looser on me (ahem) &nbsp;and my burgundy ones are still on the loose but not baggy side. The cut is magical for my body. Apparently some are higher rise now, too -- I'm going to be looking out for those. It's the shape of the leg I love.&nbsp;</p> <p>Some Fabbers tried and loathed them. Pocket placement/ size is an issue for some people. I think they tend to work well if your hips are relatively slim and your thighs are less slim (or slim).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893080 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 02:16:50 +0000 rachylou 1893080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/3#post-1893063 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 01:11:43 +0000 Vanessa 1893063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1893060 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:59:19 +0000 Elizabeth P 1893060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marilyn, my Dre's are my normal size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1893058 Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:48:28 +0000 Marilyn 1893058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent!&nbsp; I actually really like the darker pewter colour.&nbsp; You keep posting all these cool boots and now I feel like I need boots! LOL&nbsp; I'm thinking about ordering the Taos Crave boots in indigo but haven't pulled the trigger yet.&nbsp; I should stop procrastinating because the only size left is 36.&nbsp; Now I think I need pewter boots too. :)</p> <p>Fantastic outfit, Suz.&nbsp; I noticed that you're wearing Dre jeans.&nbsp; Did you size down in those?&nbsp; I've wanted to try a pair but Nordstrom is always out of small sizes when I'm there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1893054 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 23:55:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1893054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!&nbsp; Sometimes it takes a while to get ones head around something that isn't exactly as anticiapted... but I like this colour a lot.&nbsp; It looks very silver in the natural daylight photos.&nbsp; I'm glad you've decided to keep them, and that they passed the test drive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1893035 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:58:20 +0000 Suz 1893035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Test drove them...they did well! No blisters.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've always had a little punk shadow style, Rachy. Urban Prince and all that. Here's punk lite -- plaid, safety-pin-inspired earrings, BF jeans, and stompy boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1893027 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 22:36:54 +0000 rachylou 1893027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey man.

I have a pair in almost exact same color, and I find them very versatile. They make every outfit little bit more special. They are not light enough to bookend our hair, but a lighter and more interesting then black boots that I usually default to in the winter. But we both maybe need another pair of lighter silver boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892984 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 20:30:33 +0000 Roxanna 1892984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol @smittie I'm doing the same thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892979 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 20:13:16 +0000 Janet 1892979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I actually LIKE that they are chameleon like! I have a few items like that, and they seem to pick up the tones in whatever I wear with them, making them especially versatile. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892978 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 20:12:08 +0000 Anonymous 1892978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are crazy chameleon boots!<br /> They looks fab. I am so excited for you about these.</p> <p>I super want them, lol!</p> <p>But I must stay focussed and stick to the plan of a black bootie.</p> <p>Black bootie black bootie black bootie</p> <p>Not silver not silver not silver </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892950 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 18:57:58 +0000 Christina F. 1892950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pewter for the win! YAY! I'm so happy for you. I think they look better in your pics than in the stock pics, as well. Strongly tempted to lemming, but I've fit my monthly budget due to my trench coat quest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892944 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 18:53:37 +0000 Jenni NZ 1892944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You wouldn't believe that 1, 4 and 6 were the same boots! Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892940 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 18:44:19 +0000 Suz 1892940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>The verdict: pewter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are some daylight shots. Or daylight, so to speak. It's really cloudy and grey again. And seriously difficult to get decent light.&nbsp;</p> <p>But..on an off-white bedspread, at the window, at the window with the coppery-bronzey-brassy toned window pull, next to blue grey lounge pants and silver watch on a white background, and then, to show how chameleon they really are, against black.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for going for the ride with me on these! I will keep and wear.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892931 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 17:36:30 +0000 Karie 1892931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say whatever the color, keep and wear!

The fact that the colour seems to change according to light and surroundings is especially intriguing. I have a pair of bronze metallic booties and they go with everything because of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892893 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 16:28:14 +0000 karen13 1892893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look gorgeous on you! No matter what the color. I don’t own any Chelseas and now I’m wondering why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-boots-elodie-summit-review/page/2#post-1892887 Thu, 22 Feb 2018 15:59:30 +0000 Sara L. 1892887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They sound perfect except for the confusion over the color.&nbsp; I have a pair of pewter sandals that seem to change color like this - sometimes they look silver, sometimes gold.&nbsp; I finally learned to ignore the color thing and just wear them. </p>
