I've been trying them on every time I see a pair but haven't found the right pair for my feet yet. I love the modern way they look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168945 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 03:48:07 +0000 Deborah 1168945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Denise. &nbsp;You always have good insights so I was interested to know what you were thinking. &nbsp;The gold hardware is a bit maximal for me:) &nbsp;And I am a silver girl really.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168908 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 02:26:57 +0000 CocoLion 1168908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debs I thought the booties would work when you wear your more tailored pieces. &nbsp;Skinny jeans sounds right, with maybe a structured long blazer. &nbsp;It's just I don't see you in this look as often as when you joined the forum. &nbsp;Lately I see more draping from you. &nbsp;But if you wore a very minimal outfit (like a sack dress) the boots might serve as an interesting juxtaposition. &nbsp;The other thing about the boots is that the gold hardware did seem more maximal, less minimal. &nbsp;But again I think they could look really cool with a strict skinny jeans suit type of outfit.</p> <p>Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168905 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 02:24:49 +0000 Sveta 1168905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both and can't wait to see them in actions.<br />The gold accents of the booties are especially lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168899 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 02:20:29 +0000 Deborah 1168899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jj my flats have a high vamp and the heel fits firmly so there is no chance of these slipping off. &nbsp;I found that they feel just like a ballet flat in terms of how secure they feel on my foot and how I walk in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168835 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:42:45 +0000 Jjsloane 1168835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both choices for you. I am definitely adding d'orsay flats to my wardrobe this spring/summer. If they have a high enough vamp (the toe part) and fit properly they will stay on. This is one trend I tried first time around and loved and am back for more. If I recall you do need to learn to walk in them (like clogs or flipflops) but once mastered it's easy as long as they don't rub on the heel (where there is the most friction)<br />THe booties are amazing, I do see quite a gap at the back but am only concerned how they fit not how they look. You are the best judge of that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168830 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:36:45 +0000 Mochi 1168830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed--both pairs are great and the booties are so tuff and full of attitude. But I really love the flats. I was browsing through my most current Nordstrom catalog and it looks like they're featuring a ton of D'Orsay flats. I have no idea how much support they'd be for my feet, but I love the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168823 Mon, 17 Feb 2014 00:31:55 +0000 karymk 1168823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are very good indeed for your wardrobe! Love the boots, what is the flower pot effect? If you can rock those boot, so can I so I will look for a pair. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168742 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 22:25:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 1168742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flats. Not sure about the booties - they look a little heavy but I'd love to see them styled </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168545 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:55:45 +0000 catgirl 1168545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! My feet fall out of those kind of flats but still... Makes me happy to see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168520 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 18:28:04 +0000 Hil 1168520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear/page/2#post-1168289 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 08:37:40 +0000 Deborah 1168289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Denise. Do you think they are too "trendy"? That was probably my concern. I picture wearing them mostly with skinny jeans and leggings:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168284 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 08:13:45 +0000 CocoLion 1168284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flats for you. &nbsp;I tried on some D'Orsay flats myself today, but alas it was not my day for them, they don't stay on my feet. &nbsp;For the boots, I'm having a bit more trouble imagining them with your wardrobe and style, but maybe I just need some pictures to help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168279 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 07:48:23 +0000 Deborah 1168279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input. I had thought today to try an insert for the boots so I will give that go. It might just do the trick but I am not that concerned about he gap at the back. I have small feet and small ankles and I note that some of my other boots do this too yet they are a perfect fit:)</p> <p>I wore the D'Orsay flats today - have to admit that despite reading about them here I had misunderstood and thought D'Orsay was a brand duh! Did my research last night and now I understand:)</p> <p>This is the first pair I have noted in our stores and I may just want to replace my ballet flats with this style flat:) </p> <p>On first wearing the were very comfortable and I do love how they look. I wore them with skinny pants and suspect I may end up preferring them with pants rather than skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168178 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 03:00:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1168178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both and the gap doesn't bother me at all in the booties. Nice finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168156 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 02:44:28 +0000 Jaime 1168156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love them both of course! Try putting an black insert of half insert in the sandals - might just fill up the gap. It doesn't bother me as is though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168119 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 02:03:59 +0000 Jenava 1168119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pairs are so fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168097 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 01:22:02 +0000 Elizabeth P 1168097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those flats!&nbsp; Both pairs :).&nbsp; I have to admit I'm not a fan of the gap at the back of the booties, even though I love the booties.&nbsp; They just look too big.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1168086 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 01:15:29 +0000 Donna 1168086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both pairs are great! I also really like the tartan pair and think they would suit you well.</p> <p>I also find I am not wearing my ballet flats as much anymore. I only like them with boyfriend jeans which I mostly wear cuffed but at&nbsp;full length (I order tall sizes so this works for me) and slouchy trousers. They feel too sweet with skinnies or boot cuts. For my style&nbsp;I think the slouchiness gives me enough edge to balance the sweetness. Of course YMWV.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167825 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 18:02:28 +0000 Raisin 1167825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both. &nbsp;I want to see the flats on, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167776 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:33:27 +0000 VenusCow 1167776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do love your shoe boots Deborah, haven't I seen you in a pair like these before? hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167753 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:08:37 +0000 Angie 1167753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A hundred thumbs up. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167748 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:05:31 +0000 gryffin 1167748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - I like them both very much!!&nbsp; I am not usually a flat girl but those pointy toe are really pretty.&nbsp; Love the booties.&nbsp; I am on a major jag on cut out booties since that's my version of summer sandals.&nbsp; Very pretty and if you dont' mind the heel being a bit high, then they are totally awesome!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167745 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 16:01:21 +0000 Anonymous 1167745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both for your style. I don't need straps to keep my feet from slipping out of flats either. I don't see round toed ballet flats fitting your style these days, so if you have those in your closet, it may be time to let them go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167741 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:50:58 +0000 christy 1167741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pairs. The flats are fabulous and I love them as a closed-toe alternative to a ballet flat.&nbsp;I think the booties are amazing, and I personally don't see the "flower pot" effect because they fit so perfectly on the front of the foot. The gap at the back doesn't bother me visually at all, as long as they fit well enough to be comfortable to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've found that my ballet flats are languishing unworn as well. I think the shape feels too "sweet" to me and maybe the too-classic, lack of "edge" shape might be why they aren't feeling quite right for you as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167694 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 14:34:37 +0000 Parsley 1167694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of them look fantastic to me and should be perfect with your wardrobe.

And am firmly convinced i need to start doing my shopping Down Under. If both are comfortable id vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-footwear#post-1167643 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:42:11 +0000 Thistle 1167643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both, but especially the flats! I can see them both working inn your style.</p> <p>Can you wear the booties around a bit? I find that extra bit of space causes rubbing and blisters on me. May not be an issue with these, but shoes that cause pain tend not to get worn no matter how cute. </p>
