Coveting the PC skirt, along with everyone else.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know this sounds like a cliche, but my entire wardrobe cycle&nbsp;is one of perennial re/discovery. Every season I find new ways of putting things together. Now more than ever, it seems.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282344 Thu, 22 Sep 2022 12:29:35 +0000 Janet 2282344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, I love that PC skirt. I wore it a bunch and then decided I would like it shorter, but also didn’t love how the waist and hip fit me, so I actually had it shortened from the top, rather than cutting off at the hem! Now it’s more wearable and less overwhelming and I love it even more. It goes with everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282342 Thu, 22 Sep 2022 12:21:09 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2282342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Do you have any closet treasures you've rediscovered lately?<br /></i>Yes, many.

I just bought a pair of Aquatalia booties, they have a slightly higher shaft which I thought would be easy to style but I seem to be struggling. Perhaps I'll also try with skirts and tights as they're the only pair I have that don't have the flower pot look to them.<br />I culled 2 pairs last week and I'm talking myself in to making it 3. <br />&nbsp;I have nice pair of Blondo OTK boots that I cannot find ( that's a definite indication that you have too many pairs right ?).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282263 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 23:58:10 +0000 Jessikams 2282263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I’ll take a cue from you and pay more attention to them this year!</p> <p>Echo, that skirt is a favorite, and it goes with so much! I had to have a little alteration on it, and it wasn’t cheap, but I’ll wear it forever. It dresses up or down and spans the seasons. </p> <p>I ordered the crossbody bag! Now I’ll have a natural complement for those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282156 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 06:11:13 +0000 Carla 2282156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <i>beautiful&nbsp;</i>boots! &nbsp;Can’t wait to see what outfits you put together. &nbsp;Please do post some outfits. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Hmmm. &nbsp;I’ve ‘rediscovered’ an ‘old’ Uniqlo lace tank top from 2018. &nbsp;It’s a solid fixture in my dressy capsule, but&nbsp;<i>that&nbsp;</i>collection of clothes hasn’t seen a lot of wear these past few years. &nbsp;It somehow became the perfect thing to pair with casual bottoms and a jean jacket, and then got a few rounds when some dressy occasions&nbsp;<i>did&nbsp;</i>pop up. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282148 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 03:34:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2282148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those outfit ideas are great.

Nice bag you spotted to go with them, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282129 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:59:41 +0000 Jaime 2282129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see your looks. I have one pair of otk boots and I see them as the solution for my slightly shorter than I prefer dresses that I still like. I don't have pictures because these are holiday outfits for me generally but maybe I will be inspired by you to try during the week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282126 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:46:26 +0000 SarahD8 2282126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love this discovery and a hearty heck yeah to bringing new life to old pieces! Looking forward to your WIWs (and will be taking notes for, I hope, my own skirt experiments). I really like the idea of the tan bag too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282117 Wed, 21 Sep 2022 00:15:27 +0000 Bijou 2282117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots and bag combination, it is great that you get a new look from rediscovering these boots. This winter I have worn my leather jacket a lot. It had been getting occasional wears, but I have found it in constant rotation this winter. It has been nice to rediscover this item and wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282116 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 23:53:38 +0000 Echo 2282116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love wearing OTK boots with skirts or dresses that cover their tops, and these boots look amazingly versatile. I also adore teh butterfly skirt you linked and I am sad it is sold out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282107 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 23:19:08 +0000 Jonesy 2282107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure these will look fab with your skirts, and I love the idea of a coordinating cross-body! I love the idea of challenging yourself to wear certain things, or certain outfits.</p> <p>I moved into a new house earlier this summer and am just now unpacking all of my fall/winter clothes and footwear, so I am discovering all sorts of things :). I cannot wait for it to cool off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282104 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 22:34:34 +0000 Angie 2282104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Btw, these wide leg corduroy pants in your colour!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282101 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 21:39:47 +0000 rachylou 2282101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love OTK with skirts. I have a pair I hang on to for whenever an occasion may arise!</p> <p>I’m wearing a pair of black heeled oxfords. Have had them forever. I insisted to myself on wearing real shoes today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282094 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 20:42:24 +0000 LJP 2282094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent - perfect bag ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282093 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 20:29:17 +0000 Sal 2282093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look forward to the WIW shots. Perfect for transitional weather. The bag is great too - an excellent complement.</p> <p>I have one pair of brown tall boots. I wear with skirts and dresses - not so much this year - the wettest year ever- because they are suede.</p> <p>This year my rediscovery has been my black ankle boots. I was right off them the last two years but this year I have really enjoyed their simple lines and sleek shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282089 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:54:12 +0000 Janet 2282089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just took a tea break from work and scanned the Rack website. Some nice small casual tan bags there! I think this is my favorite. Lucky Brand, reasonably priced, on sale. Just the right vibe to dress down skirts. Thanks for the idea, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282085 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:36:05 +0000 Janet 2282085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! YES, I pulled out the cowboy boots too, and played with them a bit. I don't like how they look with jeans tucked into them, but I do like them under bootcut jeans, and I'm going to give some skirt+cowboy boot pairings a try too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cat2, yes, the last couple years really saw me just putting on easy-to-slip-on styles, and I wasn't dressing to be seen, LOL.</p> <p>Suz, I have ONE winter dress that isn't occasion wear. OK, two, really. So I know what you mean. I'd love to see you do a boot/skirt/dress challenge too!</p> <p>Lisa, I hope to see you play with the black suede boots too! I don't have a tan bag, but that sure would make for a cohesive outfit, wouldn't it? I did notice that my light denim jacket and a white tee make most things work with these boots, but perhaps a bag would make it easier for me to wear those boots more. I wouldn't invest a lot in one, but it's worth a thought!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282084 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:28:24 +0000 LJP 2282084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the idea of tall boots worn this way - rather than over jeans or leggings . Do you have a tan coloured bag to tie it together ?</p> <p>I now own only one pair of tall ( not OTK ) boots . They are black suede with a sort- of refined pointy toe and a mod height heel and I love them with a skirt or dress . Indoor boots only tho because of the suede . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282082 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:23:08 +0000 Suz 2282082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see you play with the boots! I think that will be a fun change.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have tall boots I haven't worn in years, too. I might haul them out if the weather cooperates, to wear with skirts/ dresses. Having said that -- I'm very low on winter skirts and dresses!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282081 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:05:58 +0000 cat2 2282081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look. I am looking forward to wearing all my booties; I didn’t wear them much in the last couple of years because I was just heading out for errands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282080 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 18:04:05 +0000 Angie 2282080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! How fun to rediscover boots in your closet. Budget-friendly too :)</p> <p>These are going to be delicious with your skirts and dresses. Nice and covered, and very comfortable. Fresh, <b>Janet</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I want to see these skirts and dresses with your cowboy boots too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rediscovering-boots#post-2282079 Tue, 20 Sep 2022 17:07:39 +0000 Janet 2282079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been doing a little closet editing in between work and home projects, and put away most of my sandals for the season. I pulled out the tall boots (the only thing that gets packed away for the summer, as I'm slowly getting my shoe collection down to where it can nearly all be stored out, year-round, with only minimal reshuffling). I have five pairs of tall/knee-high boots, and they have been thoroughly ignored for the past couple of winters. They are not super trendy -- more classic, at least for me -- and they are all comfortable, so I'm not feeling like any of them need to go away.&nbsp;</p> <p>This pair of OTK boots was an impulse buy years ago. The color is a little out of my usual palette, and they're suede, so not for bad weather, but they are super comfortable and fit well, and they are actually OVER the knee, not just halfway up my kneecap or just below it, like many supposed OTK boots are.&nbsp;</p> <p>I pulled them out and thought, how the heck do I style these? They're just a bit snug on the calf to tuck jeans into them, and I'm not really into that look anyway. I don't do leggings either. So, I turned to my skirts to see how they might style with the boots for upcoming cooler weather. To my surprise, they go really well with nearly every season-spanning skirt I own! It just so happens there is enough of that slightly cool tan color in each of these prints that the boots work with them.&nbsp;</p> <p>So I'll be setting a challenge for myself as the temps cool, to put together some casual outfits with these comfy boots and midi skirts, plus tees and denim jackets, in the weeks to come. I'm actually kind of excited about this, even though I've also been excited to wear jeans again. It's nice to have a little variety, and get more mileage out of my skirts, which are primarily worn in summer.</p> <p>Do you have any closet treasures you've rediscovered lately?&nbsp; </p>
