I'm keeping them and I will post styling pictures in a few days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-844178 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 11:01:47 +0000 krishnidoux 844178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you will be very happy with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-844036 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 04:07:37 +0000 Sveta 844036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bordeaux and cognac are very different colors so I think these boots deserve a place in your closet. Especially that you did not have any ankle boots or booties. These new boots would be fabulous with all jeans styles and I am sure you will love the punch this red color gives to your outfits. I know I love mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843946 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 02:07:34 +0000 Aida 843946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the new boots look very different in style to the shoes you currently have. Definitely no redundancy with the cognac. The red boots look very casual, and are strongly boho. If you don't have any boho leanings they could be a fun casual change up/injection OR they could drive you crazy because your other pieces won't "go". I'd suggest experimenting with some casual outfits and snapping photos, even if you don't share them here, to see if you like the boho vibe these boots will add. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843901 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 01:29:29 +0000 saramir 843901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm happy that you all agree that they belong with me. </p> <p>I think they are different enough with regards to height from the ones I have, but my husband pointed out that under pants, they look an awful lot like the ones I already have. Which is true because they are the same boot with a different shaft. So, in the context of a fairly minimalist shoe wardrobe, if I am going to wear these under pants instead of over (so the cuteness of the shaft is not visible), do they still merit a place?</p> <p>And - with regards to my style goals, what do these booties say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843774 Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:13:55 +0000 amiable 843774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - they're not too similar to your collection - great purchase! I need some red booties..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843688 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 22:51:38 +0000 deb 843688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even theough the color os similar, the style is different. Great addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843476 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 19:09:54 +0000 Raisin 843476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the height of the boot is totally new to your collection. No redundancy at all! I just added booties to mine too. I had none! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843425 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:30:07 +0000 Emily 843425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're beautiful, and not redundant at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843423 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:29:58 +0000 Kristin L 843423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843395 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:01:59 +0000 Suz 843395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look terrific and I do not think they are redundant at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843391 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 17:57:14 +0000 Glory 843391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous purchase in my mind. Not like anything you have currently (which is also very very nice). I think you will love them for you casual wardrobe. Excited to see them styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-while-sad-please-help-my-shoe-collection#post-843367 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 17:34:16 +0000 saramir 843367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was sad so I ordered myself a pair of red boots. (happy now!) I think I love them but I need some outsider feedback about whether they a good fill for my shoe gap because even at 40% off, these are quite an investment for me. </p> <p>I need shoes that I can wear casually with jeans (straight, skinny and bootcut). The shoes in question are Frye Melissa Button Short/Ankle booties in Bordeaux.</p> <p>Here is what my current shoe collection looks like (I have some other gaps to fill, and I'm only recently getting on board with shoe infatuation!). As you can see, I already have Frye Melissa Button Tall boots in Cognac. I love them and I'm definitely a duplicate buyer for things that I find work for me.</p> <p>Questions:<br /> 1. Are the bordeaux and cognac too similar?<br /> 2. Is the redundancy of style too much?<br /> 2. Are these a good fit for my style goals? (For professional clothes, I lean toward modern classic, simple, ladylike skirts and dresses. I haven't quite figured out my casual style, except that I live in jeans and tops or sweaters.) </p>
