He said he doesn't mind if I keep them or not, but I feel that that's about on par with Angie's not-a-10 rating. For the price, I really want them to be a 10. </p> <p>Sorry to have created such a long thread only to decide to return. :T While I do love these boots in their own right, they aren't 100% perfect for my body. Thank you all for your time and thoughtful responses - they were still super helpful in the decision process! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492970 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:46:36 +0000 Angie 492970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae (and Cathy), thanks for being ever so gracious and a good sport. THAT means a lot to me. I was *just* going to suggest that you ask hubs what he thinks :). Please keep us posted on his opinion. </p> <p>I am absolutely the minority opinion here, which once again demonstrates how subjective our fashion and style judgements are. What we all have to do in these types of situations is filter the responses. Absorb the ones that hold the most weight and block out the rest. Sometimes my opinion holds a little more weight, and in other cases the opinions of others hold more clout. It all depends on whose judgement bodes best with you at the time, and over time. I hope that makes sense!</p> <p>Rae, once again, I want to reiterate that I do like you in those boots. I just don't think that they are a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492833 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:58:12 +0000 Vicki 492833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am SO LATE to this boot party, but I just had to say KEEP, Rae. They are so you and look great with every photo shown. I'm glad you found them. Enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492767 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:33:52 +0000 cciele 492767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a hard decision, for sure Rae! The boots totally fit your style, but I get what you mean about Angie :)</p> <p>I'm leaning toward sending mine back -- just spent a ton on the Anthro Bailey 44 dress and more at the Anthro sale, so it works out. Waiting for the perfect RATE boot to come along... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492763 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:30:55 +0000 ironkurtin 492763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'm going to second Angie. I like them but don't love them. I would reserve "love" for a boot that was slimmer overall on the ankle. Also, snapping and unsnapping on their own would make me nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492760 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:26:50 +0000 catgirl 492760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I'm thinking after seeing my photos that these boots add a "bootcut" shape to the feet, and I normally dislike that on me, and think it looks great on others. Shouldn't that work well for gals with hips and booty? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492756 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:23:16 +0000 rae 492756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, yes, I mean the outer layer. Hm, if yours stay closed, then maybe it doesn't matter. I thought it might flap open after I walk in them more, but it seems you've worn yours enough to prove me wrong. </p> <p>Claire, I do like them a lot folded down. My favorites are the versions with the denim dress and the black polka dot dress. But yes, not to offend the rest of the Yay voters, but Angie is the pro, and her word carries more weight. </p> <p>I think I will have to show them to Hubs and let his opinion tilt the scales... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492720 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:29:49 +0000 Anonymous 492720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think they say "Rae" like nothing else I've seen since the black shearling jacket. (don't worry, they say "Una" too!). I think the style trumps the 'big at the ankle' issue. But it would be hard for me to keep something Angie wasn't wild about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492695 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:55:57 +0000 catgirl 492695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By spats, do you mean the inner or outer layer? My outer layer stays closed but unsnaps when in "regular" boot mode, which I think is a flaw, but it doesn't bother me because the integrity of the look is still there AND it makes it easier to walk.</p> <p>Re: the side clunkiness, that is absolutely part of the charm for me as an IT. I feel that grounds/balances me and is so much a part of my style. I'm going to post more photos this morning so Angie can compare... I can't imagine how they'd work for me and not for you, as our styles and coloring are somewhat similar. If anything, you're younger and cooler! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492676 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:39:22 +0000 rae 492676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for chiming in, everyone! </p> <p>Angie, I especially appreciate you giving your honest opinion in the midst of resounding keep votes. It definitely gives me great pause that they are not K-worthy in your eyes. I have been really trying to up my standards.</p> <p>Also, for anyone else eyeing these, the spats did come unsnapped once as I zipped around the apartment, putting them through comfort tests. I can't yet say for sure if I had snapped them sloppily or if it was really the boot's fault. But I for one liked them for two look options, and that goes out the window if "spat mode" is disabled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492625 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:30:33 +0000 Angie 492625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them Rae, but I do not *love* them. Your executions are flawless and it's not your styling. It's that side boot view that's wreaking havoc with my eyes. They are VERY wide at the ankle, and I can't help but feel that they are slightly overwhelming. (You might like to read my comment on Cceile's thread). FWIW, that's what I see. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s-in-brown</a></p> <p>(I know the boots well as they were on the NAS this year. I have seen them on many body types and heights). </p> <p>But I do think that you get away with it, and if you love them, by all means keep them. Sorry to be a mare. I wish I could say that they were killer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492622 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:28:59 +0000 bj1111 492622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>firstly--they are so fab i'm plotzing</p> <p>secondly--totally work approp with #1 and #4 from the second set of photos</p> <p>thirdly--why are you still perseverating...wear them out already and shock the world with your fabulosity </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492617 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:23:52 +0000 Beth 492617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there a question here? Keepity keep!</p> <p>I like the shaft height very much and they work perfectly in all the versions you've posted. Folded up, even I'd wear them to work:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492572 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:57:49 +0000 Isis 492572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great boots; I love them! If they are comfortable, keep!!!!</p> <p>I think they'll work for Friday's and the weekend, and night! (Not all night; I'm NOT advocating wearing them to bed!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492557 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:26:53 +0000 Suz 492557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look fantastic on you, Rae, and I'm sure they fit with your style. Love them with the plaid shirt! I am with Anna that they work better with slightly more casual looks (vs. the red dress) but basically, that just means they work for Fridays at work and all weekends, so you are set! What a terrific boot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492526 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:38:06 +0000 catgirl 492526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, baby. You knew I would love them on you, as long as they fit! I don't even need to see the outfits (my computer is slow right now so I can only see the thumbnails). I've worn them to work twice already. With the whole thing folded up to look like a normal boot, they are pretty conservative. Relatively speaking, of course.</p> <p>High five, boot twin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492515 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:04:13 +0000 goldenpig 492515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 looks perfect for work! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492512 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:35:29 +0000 Makrame 492512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful on you and seem to suit your style perfectly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today/page/2#post-492510 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:18:49 +0000 MsMary 492510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally wear those boots to work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492507 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:10:01 +0000 rae 492507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Refugee, I'd second-guessed #4 because I do really value Rita's opinion above that they are not for work. Since you and Elizabeth did not seem to hesitate any, though, I do feel a little better about it. A clean load of laundry just yielded a gray tunic sweater that just might show up with the boots and my black tweed blazer... </p> <p>I do like that they can be worn into warmer weather, and they are much more comfortable than my old combat boots. The heels slip a bit, but I've others that do that, and I've never thought much of it until people started mentioning it here. </p> <p>Still, more opinions are VERY welcome - these are kinda spendy for me, so I want to be extra sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492505 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:09:00 +0000 Gaye 492505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh def they are keepers! You look brilliant </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492500 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:05:58 +0000 Amy 492500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really, Rae, they just scream your name. They look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492491 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:46:15 +0000 Refugee 492491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously? You would return these? There will be none of that. Any reason look #4 would not be office appropriate? So my opinion is obviously keep and yes, wear them everywhere including the office. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492487 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:38:24 +0000 Diana 492487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely KEEP!!!! I love all the outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492486 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:36:29 +0000 Aziraphale 492486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Golly, yes, you can certainly wear them on Fridays if you can get away with wearing blue jeans! Excellent. I'm so happy for you. I'm in love with those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492484 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:34:50 +0000 rae 492484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I work at a bank, but our department is more relaxed than most banks. Here are some recent Friday outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492483 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:34:28 +0000 cciele 492483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I'll be wearing mine to work ... I'll try to come up with a work appropriate outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492480 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:28:48 +0000 Aziraphale 492480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drool some more...</p> <p>Yes, those are fab. I think that height shaft works on you, and they're edgy and sexy and practical all at the same time.</p> <p>ETA: As for whether you can wear them to work -- I dunno, where do you work? If you work somewhere that smart casual is acceptable, then I think they'll be dandy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-pair-of-unas-luxury-rebel-boots-will-arrive-today#post-492479 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:25:51 +0000 rae 492479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does anyone think they CAN go to work on Fridays? Maybe with the flaps up, skinnies, a button-up shirt, and blazer? </p>
