I wouldn’t know how to blend them into my style, but I’m selfishly nudging you to keep them so I can see what you come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2298097 Sun, 25 Dec 2022 13:46:14 +0000 April 2298097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Too-Quick to Donate chiming in, trying to mend my ways.&nbsp; So instead of saying "out they go", I'm saying "what Angie said."&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2298043 Sat, 24 Dec 2022 18:41:47 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2298043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep them for a future pirate costume, because I own a capsule of mix-and-match pirate gear. Yeah, I know, it’s weird. &nbsp;I blame it on The Goonies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297623 Wed, 21 Dec 2022 13:32:09 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2297623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have burgundy OTK boots as well, but lower heel and without the opening at the top (that must be to make them easier to sit in). I like these with shorter skirts and dresses, but sometimes they do tangle.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297614 Wed, 21 Dec 2022 12:14:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2297614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe <b>RL&nbsp;</b>You sound quite like me :)&nbsp; Super slow editor here, but improving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297590 Wed, 21 Dec 2022 04:35:22 +0000 rachylou 2297590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a hoarder… so I’d keep for ten years after the final decision I’m done with them… YMMV. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297294 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 23:29:44 +0000 Jessikams 2297294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I should dig them out and try them on as a first step. It’s tempting to hear from Lisa and others that this look may be current again! </p> <p>I do tend to forget how useful a thick leather boot can be in winter. These are definitely thick and warm. I live in a place without winters right now, but will be moving back to 4 seasons soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297218 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 18:01:58 +0000 Angie 2297218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can handle the heel height, and they are comfy - keep.</p> <p>If they are in any way uncomfortable - pass on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297203 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 16:29:47 +0000 Dee 2297203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I feel too that you’ve answered your own question on these boots, they are too limited. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297200 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 16:06:43 +0000 LJP 2297200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celine showed this very same boot - not quite OTK though - with slim/slinny jeans in their recent show. &nbsp;Worn with an oversized shearling jacket and silky blouse. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297192 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 15:50:01 +0000 Janet 2297192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it sounds like they’re too hard to style for your current preferences (I know this issue quite well!). The combination of the flappy top and the high heels reminds me a bit too much of Pretty Woman, but maybe that’s just me. These are so limited in their styling that I vote pass along. I bet you’d prefer a lower heeled version if you were to go for a new pair at some point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297176 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 13:50:37 +0000 gryffin 2297176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look very devil wears prada to me.&nbsp; Skinny jeans and a cropped fitted blazer or oversized blazer would be awesome.&nbsp; Yes to leggings and I'm also partial to mini skirts with OTK boots.&nbsp; I do personally prefer OTK boots fitted with lower heels.&nbsp; I have several pairs of the SW 50/50 which are workhorses.&nbsp; But I can't wear heels.&nbsp; I think this is a super elegant look but you have to like it.&nbsp; I do like a relaxed fit top for over jeans, just easier to work with.&nbsp; But you need to like it, that's all that's important, if not....next.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297156 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 12:33:39 +0000 Anonymous 2297156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The flap would bug me too! Having tall boots to go over leggings is very practical for deep winter, so maybe look for a pair that's below the knee instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297144 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 11:13:08 +0000 Zaeobi 2297144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be inclined to donate - don't you already have a similarly shaped flat pair in black (more of a 'wellies' look, with a straight fit in the leg) instead? </p> <p>Or am I imagining things? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297136 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 09:01:44 +0000 Star (Lise) 2297136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hhhmm, if you not into over and you cannot wear them under clearly donate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297132 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 07:09:02 +0000 Sal 2297132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I can see you in tall or OTK boots but maybe lower heeled.&nbsp; And I don't know that I will wear a mini again although I do like mini dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297131 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 06:59:56 +0000 Suz 2297131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donate! If you need/ want OTK boots you will find a style without the bothersome feature.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297123 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 05:21:17 +0000 Jessikams 2297123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly Sal I don’t think I own a single mini skirt right now…. Hmm.<br /> Kelly how do you control the flap under a skirt? I feel like it looks really odd moving around…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297122 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 05:20:24 +0000 Bijou 2297122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celine are doing skinny jeans tucked into moto boots, so the boots into jeans look is likely coming back…. That said, this time around, I will be wearing flatter boots, so if it were me, I would donate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297114 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 04:05:22 +0000 Sal 2297114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote donate for you Jessikams.&nbsp; Cool boots though.&nbsp; Unless you are wanting to wear more short skirts or skinnies/tights? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297113 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 04:01:09 +0000 kellygirl 2297113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still have mine and have worn them with a midi dress. Would you wear them with tights in lieu of skinnies?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/otk-boots-keep-or-donate#post-2297096 Mon, 19 Dec 2022 02:34:13 +0000 Jessikams 2297096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Closet cleanout continues!  On the chopping block today, burgundy over the knee boots from the times when those were worn over leggings for "long over lean" looks.  They are still in good condition but they have a flappy bit at the top which means they cannot be used under skirts or pants, only OVER things.  This really limits their usefulness.</p> <p>I’ve thought about cutting off the flap but I don’t think the result would look nice. It also can’t be folded down, it’s too thick. I think I’m answering my own question here…..</p> <p>What say you, group?  I don't have a photo of the actual item but I'm attaching a similar thing. </p>
