Period. 941011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't read the original post, so I didn't realize until I first started reading the comments that there was so little love for these originally. &nbsp;I looked over your outfits and I think they look perfect!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the booties are&nbsp;adorable on you. Honestly, to me,&nbsp;&nbsp;their roundness seems in perfect harmony with your gorgeously curvy self. On someone who was more angular or tall and thin, I don't think&nbsp;the shape would work as well. &nbsp;You and the booties bookend each other, if that makes sense. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940947 Fri, 24 May 2013 19:06:47 +0000 Diana 940947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!&nbsp; I am pretty sure I'm keeping them.</p> <p>Aziraphale, I think you're absolutely right about the front cutout.&nbsp; My dressy black booties have it too, and in fact that was one of my requirements for them (since I wanted to wear them with LBDs and stuff).&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't have dark wash blue straight legs right now, but I do have black ones that will probably be great with these.&nbsp; Thanks for the suggestion.&nbsp; They may actually also work with my slouchy black pants, assuming I can get the hem over the boots. </p> <p>ETA: You'd think I'd have learned by now that styling matters on K/R posts.... but no, I never learn.&nbsp; =P</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940929 Fri, 24 May 2013 18:15:58 +0000 cciele 940929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and funky!

I was thinking that I like them much better styled but was wondering if you still apreciated the style or was just one of those items that you dream forever to buy and when you actually do they are not your thing anymore.<br />If you still love them definitely keep because they rock with those outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940859 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:01:37 +0000 catgirl 940859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEP!&nbsp; Seeing them styled has converted my eye, and&nbsp;I am 100% with Aziraphale for the same reasons she stated so eloquently.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have these in black velvet, as I mentioned on your other thread, and I think the toe is part of the Fluevog appeal.&nbsp; I also have these in the red Mary Jane, though they are no longer worn as my style has evolved.&nbsp; </p> <p>They are perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940846 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:53:36 +0000 rae 940846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They do look much better styled. I still like the original booties better on you, though. From here they now look like a normal, rounded toe, and I think the toe was a major sticking point for me - don't know how that translates IRL. Do you love them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940834 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:31:09 +0000 Diana 940834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I think enough people have responded that I can tell you what I think.</p> <p>I like them <i>so much better</i> now that they're styled. I don't love them with the skinnies, but then again I don't really like any booties with skinnies, and these are actually better than most w/skinnies.&nbsp; Yesterday when I tried them on I had on the skinny straights I was wearing during the day, and they were also rolled up so I could see the boots.&nbsp; That did not work at all.</p> <p>Shannon, I love the cutout ankle shape on booties (my black dressy ones have that too).&nbsp; My current red booties (that I'd be replacing with these) have a very straight and slightly gappy ankle so I don't think they look good with skirts.&nbsp; These are much better.</p> <p>DJ, the toe shape doesn't bother me looking down.&nbsp; I think as long as my face is not five inches away from it it's fine.&nbsp; So looking from a normal position (sitting or standing) it looks proportional, especially with non-skinny pants.&nbsp; <br />Oh, and I did not move the camera, so I don't know why I appear taller.&nbsp; Maybe it's the silly blogger pigeon-toe pose (which is actually useful to see both the front and side of the shoe at once).&nbsp; =P&nbsp; But if I look taller, I should do it all the time!</p> <p>Aziraphale, I was hoping you'd chime in!&nbsp; You are so right that they are super comfy.&nbsp; So yesterday J. said that the shape of the shoes was "ducky."&nbsp; He saw them in the box, not on my feet.&nbsp; That was kind of a weird description, but, thinking about it, it makes sense because my feet are actually pretty duck-like - flat, skinny in back, wider/splayed in front, skinny ankles.&nbsp; So these shoes fit pretty much perfectly.&nbsp; My toes are not cramped but the rest of my foot is not flapping around either.&nbsp; In that respect, they are much more comfortable than, for example, my Docs, which are so roomy on me (width- and depth-wise) it's ridiculous.&nbsp; <br />I agree about the necessity for red shoes!&nbsp; I am down to one pair (the Docs) from three (am ditching the other dead burgundy booties, and have demoted the red dansko mary janes to lab shoes) and definitely feel the need for at least one other pair. </p> <p>ETA: Not really worried about datedness.&nbsp; I think they're pretty instantly recognizable as fluevogs, so kind of outside of any considerations of mainstream datedness or not.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940820 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:08:23 +0000 Sona 940820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>look fab styled. they are very you- your style is like no one else's: very personalized and these will fit that Diana-esque sartorial leanings very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940815 Fri, 24 May 2013 15:02:17 +0000 Jjsloane 940815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a fan of the toe portion - too clown costume for me. &nbsp;I am sensitive to that because I have big feet, but you do not and it stands out (albeit in photos) with these.&nbsp;Although it is most evident&nbsp;in the side view (and you would not be standing that way very often I assume)... I prefere them with bare legs and the bootlegs. The hourglass created with the skinnies enhances the bulbous toe for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said - I have heeled Docs that do this and I still love them (although only wore them once this year). Comfy fun shoes are not easy to come by so if they really tug at your heart keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940810 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:52:46 +0000 Aziraphale 940810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to disagree with everyone else. &nbsp;Those booties are fabulous. &nbsp;I know this not only because they look adorable on you in all five of the above pictures, but&nbsp;because I own them too&nbsp;-- same colour and everything! -- and they are the most versatile, most-worn shoes in my closet. &nbsp;I've been wearing them for four years and they STILL get compliments from strangers. &nbsp;The stubby toe is a little asymmetrical and is charming. &nbsp;It makes your feet look really cute. &nbsp;Also, as you pointed out, they don't gape at the top like other booties tend to do, which makes them sleeker and more wearable with skirts. &nbsp;And the heel is chunky enough that it looks good under bootcut jeans as well -- not just straight legs or skinnies. &nbsp;I can wear those booties with just about everything I own -- all shapes of skirts and pants.</p> <p>Also, just so you know, I have never found a more comfortable pair of heels. &nbsp;It is the perfect heel height for me, and the rubber soles make them feel like sneakers. &nbsp;I can walk in them all day.</p> <p>And nothing looks cuter than red shoes with a neutral outfit. &nbsp;I vote keep, unless the fact that people have said they're dated has spoiled your enthusiasm for them. &nbsp;(Because when you buy a new pair of Fluevogs, you have to be really <i>excited</i> about them. &nbsp;Otherwise it takes the fun out of it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940800 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:31:44 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 940800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them in all combinations, but from this perspective, one doesn't quite see the toe. What does it look like to your eye, when you're looking down?</p> <p>They are very nice color, have fun detailing, and fit so nicely around the ankle. I also love how they elongate the legline thanks to that v-shape cutout in the front. Tough call! What matters most is how you feel about them.</p> <p>By the way, did you move your camera lower than before? You seem taller in these pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940799 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:29:32 +0000 Anonymous 940799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are great styled. I don't think they will date, as they have the Fleuvog style warp to them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940798 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:28:37 +0000 Anonymous 940798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I changed my mind. I think they jive with you. They do not look as overwhelming as in the first set of photos. Keep them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940791 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:21:35 +0000 Janet 940791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them better here than I did in your original post. Styling makes a big difference. I absolutely love the color and the height and shape of the vamp and ankle on you.</p> <p>That toe shape is not my favorite, i admit. I have a pair of Vogs from about 5-6 years ago that have a less extreme version of that shape, and I like them. These verge on too wide in the toe for my taste, but the rest of the boot helps offset that. </p> <p>How do you feel in them with these stylings? I think that's the important thing. Do they live up to your expectations? It seems like you admired them for so long, I would want you to enjoy them thoroughly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940785 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:18:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 940785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for taking the time to do take these styled pics Diana - to me, seeing the entire outfit makes for a much more informed assessment.</p> <p>I absolutely LOVE them for you! I like the fit around the ankle in particular. The way the front opens really elongates your beautiful legs. I also like them equally with dresses/skirts and with pants. I don't mind the toe shape at all and I adore the button detailing. The comfort level counts for a lot too IMO. My vote is keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940781 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:16:13 +0000 Adelfa 940781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, these are not cute enough for you! To me they do not fit your adorable, feminine, slightly quirky style. Such a shame because they are a great color and so comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-fluevogs-styled-5-ways-kr-again#post-940775 Fri, 24 May 2013 14:12:16 +0000 Diana 940775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, tried the Fluevog Giulia with five different types of outfits.&nbsp; Same plain black top in all of them except for the dress.&nbsp; I'm not worried about what colors to pair them with, just the overall silhouette.&nbsp; </p> <p>1: with mod dress<br />2: with a slim skirt<br />3: skinnies<br />4: bootcuts<br />5: rolled-up BF jeans</p> <p>What do you think now?&nbsp; </p>
