(A quick pass under a lighter's flame will keep the ends from ravelling). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46881 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 04:57:26 +0000 Antje 46881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome April! The boots look awesome. I'd be inclined to let the laces hang down. But it would be good to see both alternatives in a visual, with your outfit. (And it might be outfit dependent, e.g. letting the laces hang down might look too "busy" with some outfits but not others. It's hard to make a general rule, I think.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46856 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 02:27:44 +0000 Eva 46856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the outfit. Do they flop around? I like the idea of them untucked with jeans, but not if they flop around. I would tuck them in on anything but a plain skirt. (Hm, I'm not helping your stats.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46805 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:57:44 +0000 tarzy 46805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April - welcome! Those are nice boots. I'd love to see a picture of them in an outfit! I'm 5'4" with shortish legs and I have to keep everything pretty simple in order not to look squat. I like the idea of tucking the laces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46792 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:10:28 +0000 April 46792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, ladies -- hmm, the votes on tucking in the laces are running 50-50. I was hoping for a landslide so I wouldn't have to decide for myself. :)</p> <p>Love, love, love the Docs that I have seen everyone sporting on YLF. I don't think I can pull them off the way I see you all doing it, though. I had a pair years ago and on me (at 5'2") the effect was, shall we say, not svelte. Kind of along these lines: <a href="http://www.farmgoodsforkids.com/p-14325-modern-doll-family.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.farmgoodsforkids.co.....amily.html</a></p> <p>Still, seeing everyone else looking so great in them makes me tempted to try again... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46791 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 19:54:09 +0000 Maya 46791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them and Natural Comfort is a great brand. As for the laces, I don't think I'd be inclined to tuck them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46787 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 19:13:56 +0000 Anonymous 46787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very beautiful boots, I love the style for skirts and skinny jeans. Angie advices others to tuck the laces in on their Docs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-boots-are-here#post-46786 Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:51:50 +0000 April 46786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(This is my first post -- you don't know me, but I feel I know all of you! I have been following the forum conversations and Angie's writings on the site for a couple of months now and have finally decided to participate. You all have been such an inspiration.)</p> <p>Anyway, my doorbell just rang -- we in the Northeast are having a Snow Day -- and the UPS man brought my new boots from 6pm: <a href="http://www.6pm.com/n/p/p/7374645/c/72.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/n/p/p/7374645/c/72.html</a><br /> I think I originally found these by following a link someone posted here, and fell in love with them. I got the black ones. The plum leather ones seemed delicious, but I needed black boots and practicality won out.</p> <p>I do have a question, though -- see how the laces are very long, to allow a droopy bow to hang down the front? Would you let them hang, or tuck them in for a neater look? My inclination is to tuck the laces in if I'm wearing the boots with a skirt, but leave them drooping if I'm wearing jeans. What are your thoughts? </p>
