I'm glad you like them though. I wondered if anyone here actually already had them.</p> <p>I really wanted a little height as some of my outfits look better with a heel. But these are only 2.5" and very comfortable for me. Looks like I will be reporting in with a K/R soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-863196 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:32:04 +0000 sarah 863196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe they kept you that long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-863085 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 12:05:30 +0000 Vildy 863085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not my style but if it were my style these would be the ones. :D<br /> I think for an IT these would be a nice balancing item on the bottom half.<br /> Love the idea of wearing them with grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-863006 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 06:41:45 +0000 rae 863006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear god, Una, why did you show me these???? :0</p> <p>Off to gnaw off my hands so I don't order them. No way would I last all day in that heel height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862958 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 05:05:20 +0000 DonnaF 862958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I had to PAY $6 (parking) to sit through two days of voir dire. I kept hoping I'd be called to the jury box because I knew I'd be dismissed immediately since I knew/know Plaintiff's counsel socially. I think juror's here get paid $7 which doesn't cover out of pocket costs.</p> <p>Nice boots! Leather lining, too. Will be better for your Gidigios(sp?) if you let them rest every other day, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862934 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 04:24:34 +0000 Tina.b 862934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am in a black boot rut, ugh. These are fantastic and will solve that problem perfectly. I think they will pair especially well with skirts and shorts in summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862924 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 04:12:24 +0000 lynne 862924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They have your style written all over them! It's just written in brown instead of black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862900 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:47:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 862900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these for you Una - I like that they're more cognac and not brown. They've got a great "beat up" vibe to them. I agree with Mochi just to treat them as a neutral and take it from there. The tone will probably be great against your bare legs for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862890 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:40:45 +0000 catgirl 862890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I actually served 7 days not including 2 days of voir dire - got "randomly" booted with another alternate after closing arguments. Hard earned $!</p> <p>Denise, I think so. Do you mean under BFs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862848 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:14:09 +0000 CocoLion 862848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they will look great with lighter colored skinny jeans and bare-legged! Is the boot opening narrow enough to work with bf jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862840 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:08:27 +0000 Suz 862840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are a great neutral colour that you can wear a lot more easily than you might expect. </p> <p>Almost spit my tea out about Mochi's comment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862836 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:07:06 +0000 sarah 862836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I got $10 for jury duty. Gotta love that North Slope oil, eh? Oh, and how shocking that the lawyer got booted!</p> <p>I love the boots for you - and the idea of wearing them with white jeans and emerald or citron on top has me swooning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862830 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 03:04:01 +0000 Tanya 862830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are stunning boots Una and I love the rich color. I would personally not worry too much about bookending, I don't think we have to do it all the time. Sometimes lighter shoes can serve as a pop against darker outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862808 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:49:30 +0000 Aida 862808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so! I don't have true cognac boots (srs hole *sniffle*) but if I did I'd wear them the way you describe. Plenty of white or dove gray in the summer and plenty of black or charcoal for winter, along with a bright color here and there. Any of your brights should work as an optical bookend. And hey they'd look good with all black, too! No stretching needed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862802 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:44:23 +0000 catgirl 862802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I WILL be looking to you for inspiration. I'm thinking with colors on top (emerald, citron) and jeans, these should not need bookending, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862801 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:43:54 +0000 Mochi 862801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would consider them a neutral and not overthink it! Plus they could be worn into spring, but also in winter too IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862800 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:43:01 +0000 Jaime 862800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really these boots are you! And I love what Nancy said - boots for being booted, how can you resist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862799 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:42:53 +0000 Aida 862799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my non-black boots more than my black boots, but I have also been working at wearing even less black anyway. I think if you forced yourself to style these a few times you'd get the hang of it pretty quickly. Not sure non-black boots + wearing white all at once will be the best idea, though hey I'm all for diving right in the deep end At the very least, these will be a nice outfit lightener! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862797 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:42:20 +0000 catgirl 862797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blahahaha! I can tell people, "Yeah, I got the boot on jury duty!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862795 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:41:20 +0000 Mochi 862795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what you get for getting booted as a juror! </p> <p>I love these...the RATE cognac ones. They are soooooo tempting at that price (though I already have pricey cognac-ish Frye boots, so will be passing on these). But they have your name written all over them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862792 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:40:32 +0000 catgirl 862792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara, yes, I had to go a whole size up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862790 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:40:02 +0000 catgirl 862790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm pondering that, Aida. I think they could help me with wearing white, and in summer. I really feel like I'm getting in a rut with black boots. But wondering if will struggle. Need to go through current wardrobe and see what might work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862789 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:39:53 +0000 MNsara 862789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure you can make them work. Bookend? probably somewhere in your outfit or person with something that depth of color/warmth. </p> <p>So, you know your IRL size from the store, right? because the zappos review complained about running small.</p> <p>I think the style has a lot of potential for you, sort of a polished RATE </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862785 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:38:13 +0000 Aida 862785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No bookending necessary, the red bits in your hair could be enough. Fun boot, but would you wear them in non-black? I think the color is pretty fantastic, especially if it's a richer cognac like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-stopped-by-the-shoe-boutique#post-862775 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 02:32:37 +0000 catgirl 862775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the way back from meeting with a client, I walked by our fancy shoe store and these boots were so fab, I had to try them on:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/bedstu-maya-tan-rustic-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/bedstu-m.....ic-leather</a></p> <p>They are a little less beat-up and a little less brown IRL, and they were full price at the boutique. I held off but came home to read reviews and found them on sale at Zappos. The heel is a great height for me and the calf actually fits.</p> <p>I got a check for $150 for my jury duty - didn't need or expect it since I didn't fill out the paperwork, but the state sent it to me anyway. So these would be my civil service boots. </p> <p>So whaddya think? I am not an expert at non-black boots, but I can't wear the same boots all the time, right? Can I make these work? Do I have to bookend? </p>
