I also dig the style - a cross between moto and riding boots...<br /> Can I wait until they go on sale? Can somebody talk sense into me that I do not need them - I own 5 pairs of boots already! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-416717 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 21:12:40 +0000 Marley 416717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some nude booties that I bought last year (pre-SYC) and I wore them mainly with knee-length skirts/dresses or light colored jeans - and I really loved them! I have lusted over the Frye Rory's in Sand for over a year now (I have a pair of the black ones already) - someday the sand pair will be mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-416710 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 20:51:17 +0000 Jjsloane 416710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this photo in a magazine and thought of this post<br /> <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/fashion/so-wrong-its-right-20110903-1jqvg.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyl.....1jqvg.html</a></p> <p>I totally want nude boots now too. Oh and her legs to go with them. I do have some khaki leggings that are basically nude for me. Might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-414049 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:17:43 +0000 Aida 414049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe they could work with gray jeans instead of dark jeans? I've worn my nude booties with my light gray jeans and it doesn't break the leg line too much (ex. below), but certainly less than with nude heels+skin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413762 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:27:35 +0000 modgrl 413762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MaryK, I think that would totally work for you and I think it would be gorgeous!</p> <p>I have to be careful with this look because of my black hair. I can't have too much "white" at my feet. It works with delicate nude heels but I'm not sure about all the leather in tall boots. </p> <p>Angie, I completely get that it wouldn't work with dark wash skinny's or leggings. </p> <p>I'm not in a big hurry for this because I think I am otherwise set for boots for winter, but if I find the perfect pair, I will play around with them and post some possibilities here. I am still not completely understanding why this look works for nude heels and dark clothes, but not nude boots and dark skirts (see today's WIW with black skirt and neutral shoes: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-yellow-belt" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ellow-belt</a>). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413759 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:21:01 +0000 MsMary 413759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me personally, I wasn't thinking of my nude boots as lengthening my legs so much as to bookend my blond hair! That should work, right?</p> <p>Uh, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413754 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:16:13 +0000 Angie 413754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Imogen says, makes sense. We are on the same wavelength about showing skin in order for them to work the way you want they too, Rita. </p> <p>If you want to wear them over dark jeans - nude boots will create precisely the opposite effect. </p> <p>The concept to understand here is "low contrast". How can the nude boots create a low contrast in your outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413693 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 11:21:28 +0000 modgrl 413693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm... I don't know if I have enough real estate on my short legs to pull that off. If I find the perfect boots at a normal price, I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for chiming in Imogen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413608 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:26:11 +0000 ImogenL 413608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The nude boots would be great with lighter coloured skirts (so stone, taupe, camel) rather than dark winter skirts (black etc) or would work if the skirt is more on the mini-length rather than knee length.</p> <p>Thanks for the link too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413052 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 03:03:16 +0000 modgrl 413052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, Do you think it wouldn't work with a knee length pencil skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-413026 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 02:38:09 +0000 Angie 413026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be a spanner. How do you want to wear the nude boots, Rita? They will not achieve the same "nude-shoe effect" unless you can see lots of leg skin with the boots. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412975 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:11:43 +0000 Kari 412975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I also have the Frye Rory boots in sand that MaryK mentioned. My calf size is much larger than hers, so like Angie with her cognac Rorys (though obviously Angie is on the narrow calf side of the spectrum), I wear them scrunched. Most of the time I wear them with Oroblu microfishnet hose in nude and a dress, or over skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412942 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:57:39 +0000 sarah 412942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! I'm looking for some, too, that aren't redundant with my Frye Carson shorties. In winter I was thinking that I'd only be able to wear them with blue jeans, since I can't figure out what color tights might work. What do you think? Inge had some very fab ones on in the Scotland meet-up pics. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fab-day-in-london-with-fiona-vanessa-and-jean" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....a-and-jean</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412910 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:31:36 +0000 catgirl 412910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great article - I was just going to mention the Rorys that MaryK beat me to posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412842 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:40:24 +0000 Anonymous 412842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The SA in the shoe dept. at Nordstroms was just telling me that she thought we would be seeing lots of these because nude shoes were so popular this summer. She said it was early yet and boots were still coming in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412835 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:30:59 +0000 MsMary 412835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! I found a great deal on the very last pair of Frye Rory's in "sand" this summer and can't wait for it to be cool enough to wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412827 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:01:15 +0000 Scarlet 412827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super-duper yay from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412824 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:52:35 +0000 Ginny 412824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like these and have been thinking of this color for a boot too, I think they would be a workhorse for you no doubt!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412812 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:27:35 +0000 Auburn 412812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella--I bought those LFs in Taupe almost 2 years ago and they have been the best purchase ever! Just took them in for a full resole because I had worn them down so badly. An expensive boot (although I found them at Neimans for 1/2 off after Christmas) but definitely worth the money! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412806 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:08:29 +0000 Zoe 412806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Miz-Mooz-Womens-Flynn-Knee-High/dp/B004V76LAG/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1314644952&#038;sr=8-11" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Miz-Mooz.....38;sr=8-11</a><br /> just perfect.

They'd be a nice for fall transition, and especially great for spring when those dark colors are looking heavy and feeling wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412697 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:29:30 +0000 bella 412697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! If I had the budget, I would be buying these right this minute:<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035WTU4M/ref=asc_df_B0035WTU4M1673784?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;tag=wwwshopstylec-20&#038;linkCode=asn&#038;creative=395093&#038;creativeASIN=B0035WTU4M&#038;ascSubTag=359372101" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035.....=359372101</a></p> <p>Check out shopstyle. you can search by color and price. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412688 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:22:02 +0000 Mo 412688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been active searching for nude booties for a week or two now - Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412683 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:20:16 +0000 rute 412683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY, of course, perfect pair of boots!!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nude-boot-question#post-412675 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:17:06 +0000 modgrl 412675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wearing nude or neutral shoes all summer and I'm trying to think of ways to transition this look into fall. I'm considering light colored boots like the ones from Inside Out Style from last week's link love blog post: </p> <p><a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2011/08/how-to-look-taller.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......aller.html</a></p> <p>They are on the top right of the post. I am not looking at these specific Chloe boots, they are over $1000! I would be looking for something similar in a tan or taupe color. The key would be something sleek and polished, not a distressed RATE look... I'm a little scared to venture into this territory without looking too made up and contrived. </p> <p>YAY) Worth a try. Dive.<br /> NAY) Too trendy/risky. Dip only, if at all. </p>
