I say yes to a burgundy bag…..maybe the trendy oxblood color would work for you. &nbsp;A-hem…. If you don’t love winter boots, I gently suggest that you haven’t found the right pair. &nbsp;When replacing your favorite black boots, it might be fun to go with a different color. I’m thinking gray or olive would be good choices. Just sharing my 2 cents! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection/page/2#post-2280652 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 03:49:54 +0000 Sal 2280652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely collection Helena!&nbsp; It sounds like Blondo replacements will be in order.</p> <p>In terms of a bag I really like bags with two colours eg black and beige - they are so so versatile!!</p> <p>I don't wear my shoes out that fast - I think because I usually wear my Asics running shoes for walking, and my other shoes are mostly for work.&nbsp; When I did the walking school bus or commuted on foot it was very different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection/page/2#post-2280645 Fri, 09 Sep 2022 02:20:49 +0000 Zaeobi 2280645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another enabler for another pair of boots! Even if you don't wear them straight away, it would be safer to keep a backup pair in case something happens to the current ones (I imagine it would be no fun to be left with NO snow boots, 'ugly' or not, in deep winter!) Not in black though, to expand your options.</p> <p>As for the bag, a washed black sounds like a good idea given your current collection. But I think a burgundy might read as a 'colour' with the rest of your clothes - if that's what you want though then go for it! But I imagine it might be a little less versatile for someone who generally prefers to dress in neutrals? </p> <p>How about a bag in a cool beige or tan instead? Cognac could potentially work with your hair too - make sure you bring one of your workhorse coats/ puffers with you when you shop for the bag though, to check whether the colours 'go' but also to ensure the strap extends long enough to be worn over your coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection/page/2#post-2280565 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 16:55:28 +0000 Jules 2280565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also only have one pair of actual snow boots and get your reasoning - no fun to buy, not practical for indoor wear. I have other styles like riding boots, Hunters, combat boots/Timberlands, and booties instead. In fact my Merrel snowboots are from 2018 and doing fine - the sheepskin trim looks a little tired, and they have some subtle salt stains, but functionally they are fine and I haven’t seen anything cuter so I’ll probably give them another year since I have overbought in other categories. I actually do a lot of my winter walking in Timberlands, which are also wearing remarkably well. </p> <p>Anyway! Enough about me! I am in your climate, I think we have similar lifestyles, and I don’t think you need more snowboots :)</p> <p>Your footwear collection looks great. I think your choices are generally in the ‘current classics’ vein so they aren’t likely to look dated anytime soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection/page/2#post-2280535 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 12:27:41 +0000 RobinF 2280535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think a burgundy bag would go with your winter coats nicely and also with the burgundy boots. Love the boots you linked, they could be an excellent replacement for the old ones. </p> <p>Somehow I picture you with a cognac or golden brown winter capsule - boots and bag - to bookend your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280530 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 11:55:33 +0000 Anonymous 2280530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the burgundy boots especially and big yes to a burgundy bag! Mine is getting a lot of use now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280522 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 09:28:25 +0000 Bijou 2280522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would buy a burgundy bag as I think it will be a nice pop of colour and it goes beautifully with most of your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280515 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 01:03:22 +0000 Jaime 2280515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shoe collection is excellent Helena. I do not see one pair that reads the least bit dated, you have all your bases covered, and have some very nice looking shoes. I would keep both of your question marks and replace the blondos. I love burgundy myself fwiw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280512 Thu, 08 Sep 2022 00:31:23 +0000 Janet 2280512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a great classic collection that fits your style and has enough versatility to work for you! I agree, though, that you need more winter boots! Just call me enabler.</p> <p>Burgundy for a bag sounds nice. Especially if you opt for burgundy boots or shoes… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280507 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 23:36:14 +0000 Style Fan 2280507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the looks of the Blondo boots that you have linked. I don't find snowboots great for walking. I have four pairs of winter boots, but I walk several hours daily.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />A burgundy bag sounds excellent, but black is always practical.</p> <p>These are my winter boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280504 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 21:42:42 +0000 Indigoprint 2280504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Angie, especially regarding a winter footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280500 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 21:31:06 +0000 Carla 2280500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every self respecting Canadian owns a pair of winter boots like your black ones! &nbsp;(See my Cougars below.)&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280495 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 20:46:09 +0000 JAileen 2280495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For someone who practically lives at the North Pole, I would have expected you to have more warm boots. &nbsp;Blondos are nice because they’re walkable, yet waterproof. &nbsp;I&nbsp;really like the ones with the tasseled ties. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280492 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 20:08:32 +0000 Helena 2280492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kinda love these? Sort of somewhere between gear snowboot and dressy bootie?&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://blondo.ca/collections/view-all/products/deltas?variant=40076953452609">https://blondo.ca/collections/.....6953452609</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280490 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 20:06:06 +0000 Helena 2280490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, thanks everyone!!!</p> <p>Black blondo replacements are on the list! Toying with the idea of a non-black replacement ... gray perhaps, or brown, but black will do the job just fine if I'm having trouble. Might get that sorted before worrying about the purse - would rather buy the purse around the boots rather than the reverse.&nbsp;</p> <p>kkards, my dressy winter coat is light blue/gray, and my puffer is charcoal. I probably need a second puffer and am contemplating a cool-toned beige while these are in good supply.</p> <p>Rachy, I totally get what you mean by a black that's not too black. This is actually my best shade of black I think of it as black that's gone through the wash a few times, but not as sloppy - if that makes sense!&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I am my father's daughter and wear shoes WAY past their prime, basically until they are falling apart - it's a bit ridiculous, truly. Although Dad's record is a pair of sandals that lasted more than 20 years (he wore them daily in summer months) - so I'm not QUITE that bad! But my comfy Blondos actually were killing my feet by the end of last season - definitely wore them at least a season too long.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280482 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 19:19:59 +0000 Angie 2280482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! A wardrobe essential that needs replacing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280475 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 18:42:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2280475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything dated here, either, and I'm impressed with your tidy collection. (I'm guessing mine is at least twice this size, but I'm averse to counting--haha!) It seems you do have the bases covered, with style. I think a burgundy bag could be a good choice, since you mention that you are wanting to wear your burgundy booties more. If you have a matching (or coordinating) bag, you might feel more put together even if the booties don't match your clothing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280471 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 18:18:44 +0000 Suz 2280471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely another pair of those are in your future -- if you wear them instead of snow boots in particular!&nbsp;</p> <p>Wow, I'm kind of amazed you manage on so few pairs of winter footwear. I know I'm notoriously hard on shoes and walk like a demon so it probably stands to reason I need more options so they don't wear out in a single season, but even <b>with</b> multiple options, the ones I use for daily walks do wear out in a season!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280468 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 18:10:52 +0000 Helena 2280468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I didn't post them because they are a mess and ready for the garbage!

I’m guessing black…so definitely so for a color </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280462 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 17:43:44 +0000 rachylou 2280462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The idea of a dark grey captures my attention. Or even somehow a less black black - oh you know what I mean, all blacks are not created equal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280461 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 17:36:24 +0000 Angie 2280461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Helena,</b> I can't see your black Blondos?&nbsp;</p> <p>YES to a burgundy cold weather bag!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280460 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 17:14:22 +0000 Helena 2280460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, just refreshed while that posted and saw I had missed a bunch of comments!! Ok, I'l hearing that another pair of winter boots would make sense ... noted!! I'll keep my eye out Thanks so much all!</p> <p>Rachy interesting thoughts about the purse colour ... now you've got me thinking ... maybe dark gray to just be that touch lighter than black? What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280459 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 17:12:02 +0000 Helena 2280459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie!</p> <p>Re: snow boots - for walks, trekking to get the mail, etc. yes they are my one and only, but for errands, etc. no - when the snow is clear my black blondos were fine and more comfortable to have on indoors. I also have inserts for my Hunters that winterize them for sloppy days.</p> <p>I really hate snow boots, even the cool-looking ones, so I'd rather just hate the one pair haha!! However, maybe I do need to be open to needing another pair of Blondo-ish boots ...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280456 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 15:54:36 +0000 Suz 2280456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing looks dates to me and all of it looks consistent with your preferences -- yay! I would add some more boots, though. Heavens!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280451 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 15:10:07 +0000 rachylou 2280451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say, I think this is a completely complete shoe collection. I’m not sure why you’d need anything else (which calls into question my thousand pairs of shoes, hehe).</p> <p>I’m not sure about a burgundy purse. On the one hand, I don’t readily imagine you with a black one for some reason - seems heavy. On the other, I wonder if burgundy is polished enough. I suppose it would depend on the shape a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280449 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 15:04:20 +0000 RobinF 2280449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I guess I have a lot of shoes!&nbsp;</p> <p>Looks like a good variety here. I agree with Lisa, maybe another pair of winter boots. I was thinking black or white combat or chelsea boots but color would be fun too. If you really wanted loafers I could see them being worn instead of sneakers with some outfits. But you do have a nice selection of sneakers so it would be more to shake things up than a need.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280447 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 14:39:41 +0000 LJP 2280447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DO NOT pass on the cognac sandals. Those are elegant classics. &nbsp;This all looks good to me : the bases are covered, with a few trends to make it fun. &nbsp;Maybe pick up another pair of every day winter boots in a new colour? &nbsp;I can see you in a white or off-white puffer with similar-toned winter boots.......for example. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280445 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 14:35:00 +0000 Mirjana 2280445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Sisi I am very close to that. I don't have pictures, but I would try to count them. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-footwear-collection#post-2280443 Wed, 07 Sep 2022 14:09:17 +0000 Sisi 2280443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice shoes Helena!&nbsp; I particularly like the burgundy booties, the tan booties and the cognac sandals. As per the purse I think burgundy could be a good alternative.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Mirjana</b>, shall we call you Imelda Marcos? (I would be curious to see your collection!).&nbsp; </p>
