I don't mind the height with skinnies or a skirt, both work for me. Last year I purchased a pair of the Jane tall cuff in taupe, and I hard a very hard time creating outfits for them. The light color was very different from my other boots (gray and chestnut) but it was TOO different. I needed a darker color. I brought them to a YLF swap and this year picked up a pair of black boots to replace them. I learned I like a range of tall boots, but they all need to be on the darker side for my needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think/page/2#post-387206 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:22:45 +0000 krishnidoux 387206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>( and BTW I don't own that many pairs myself, despite living in Canada). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think/page/2#post-387205 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:21:56 +0000 krishnidoux 387205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They ARE different.</p> <p>One pair will match cool colors and the other warmer colors. That's a world of difference. If you are into knee high boots and live in a place where the weather justifies it, then I say absolutely keep both pair, as they will be very handy in Fall and Winter outfit building. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think/page/2#post-387203 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:20:46 +0000 Scarlet 387203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy nailed it. I am a boot lover and they are ALL different </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387195 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 19:13:12 +0000 sarah 387195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sveta, yes we need joint boot therapy sessions!</p> <p>@Jonesy, yes I think you hit the nail on the head. I didn't even wear boots until a year ago, and am trying to carefully build a diverse boot collection that will last for awhile. I don't think I have two pairs of Frye boots in my near future, so I'm leaning towards returning these, even though they're beautiful, and working on finding the perfect book-ending boot for fall and winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387187 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:55:14 +0000 Jonesy 387187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I was thinking...I think the "too similar" question is going to be answered very differently depending on your perspective. Someone with, say, 30 pairs of boots is more likely to think these two are not too similar. After all, they probably have a variety of tall brown boots, black boots, colorful boots, etc. etc. Someone with, say, 2 pairs of boots is more likely to think these are pretty similar :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387125 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:25:39 +0000 Scarlet 387125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FWIW, I think the boots on the right look a little sleeker and the ones on the left a little tougher. I don't think the ones on the right are too tall. I would keep them if budget is not an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387105 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:04:33 +0000 Sveta 387105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, it looks like you are going through the same pain as I do:-).<br /> From my perspective the color is not different enough to justify boots in a very similar style IF you are after a single pair a boots to create a very different look with. If you just want boots in this color they are great (I am not an expert on the lenght factor though).<br /> For me I would go for a more distinctively different pair if Iwanted to add just one pair of boots to my collection... either a different style in this color or the same style in more grey color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387093 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:38:55 +0000 Ginny 387093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both colors I think they are different enough. Do they feel too tall for you?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387047 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:44:11 +0000 jackie 387047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your place is valueble for me. Thanks!…<br /> Thanks for your Post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387046 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:42:57 +0000 MNsara 387046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, but it's a little gap. I was expecting more when the denim came off. What I can see looks pretty darn good.</p> <p>What about a back gap - that shows in profile? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387043 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:40:09 +0000 sarah 387043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm...@Sara - the Melissa does have a small gap at the top (you can see it on the very right side of the photo with the skirt if you look carefully) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387041 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:38:01 +0000 MNsara 387041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'll be! The taller boot does NOT gap at the top! Is it that nice from a side view too? If it is, then I'd keep it. . . ;:-)</p> <p>I actually think the taller boot makes your leg looks slimmer in the jeans and bare legs!! It seems to hide the extra knee fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387016 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:23:21 +0000 Luckygirl322 387016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but I actually prefer the Fryes (at least in the photos). I think the longer boot looks great on you. I guess I'm in the minority...not unusual for me, though!<br /> ^Edited to add: I prefer the Frye Melissas. I didn't make that clear in my post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-387010 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:18:01 +0000 Carole 387010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots, they don't look grey from where I'm sitting but love the versatile color. I didn't think they looked too tall but I'm not an expert. Did they have other colors to choose from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386995 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 15:08:05 +0000 Jonesy 386995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frye gray is usually not a true charcoal gray, in my experience :). I like the look of the new boots, but if you are only going to spring for one pair, and already have black and brown, I really like the idea of going for something lighter so you can go the bookending route. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386951 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:23:33 +0000 sarah 386951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now I'm thoroughly confused ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386946 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:17:29 +0000 nicoleb 386946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh man.

I'll return these, and start my search for the perfect honey-colored boot for fall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386890 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 13:19:29 +0000 Queen Mum 386890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of finding a lighter color boot instead of this one. I do think the color and shape are quite similar to your current pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386871 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:39:49 +0000 Freckles 386871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with them being a bit too similar in colour. I'm intersted to see what a lighter colour looks like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386850 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:28:44 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 386850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for quite similar in style and colour. They're fab though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386841 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 08:13:20 +0000 Louise 386841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the ones on the right are a bit too tall, for me they are also too close in style and colour x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386819 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 06:03:41 +0000 Marley 386819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both pairs of those boots, but I agree that it would be really cool to find a pair of lighter colored - butter-honey sort of, to bookend with your hair. That would be FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386817 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 05:51:35 +0000 Kate 386817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass on the new boots and look for a some that bookend your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386791 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:47:47 +0000 rae 386791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the new ones are a smidge too tall, and I love love love your idea of getting a pair to bookend your hair.

I'd try something in a fawn color, to bookend, and see how you like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386773 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 04:19:21 +0000 taylor 386773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are quite different.<br /> Are you looking for something a bit dressier? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/these-boots-are-just-too-similar-dont-you-think#post-386723 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 03:07:47 +0000 modgrl 386723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are different.
