Also there are some patents which seem more flexible than others from the start. So if you sized up and they feel good that should be okay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551617 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:47:06 +0000 viva 1551617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>oldchic</b>! So glad to hear about the comfort of your booties. I hope you find replacements.</p> <p>And <b>Janet</b>, I can picture you in this dress. I will try to channel your going-out-fabness every time I wear it!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551604 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:37:06 +0000 old chic 1551604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them on you! Definitely KEEP. I bought a pair of black patent booties (extreme pointed toes, 1 1/2" heels, same price as yours) from Topshop last fall and wore the heck out of them. And, they were comfortable for hours of trekking in NYC from day one. I wish they'd have the same style again this year, and check "what's new" every day to try to replace them. (Yours look great, but I think the heel may be a little too high for what I want.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551600 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:32:55 +0000 Janet 1551600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great, and all of those stylings are terrific. </p> <p>I'm glad you kept that dress, even if you returned the Vince. I was actually tempted to try it myself, and then I realized that the dropped waist will very likely not work on my body. I'll enjoy it vicariously on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551595 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:30:02 +0000 viva 1551595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lisa. I do love my shoe shelf! It's a pretty basic system from Home Depot that we put up a few years back. Did it ourselves and I LOVE it. If we ever sell this house, it will be one of the features I miss.<br />The boots are a true rust -- hard to capture in pictures. Really a gorgeous color, unusual, but I think they will go with a lot.<br />Thanks for your thoughts on the HH dress. I tried on both and just had to keep this one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551589 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 16:21:08 +0000 Anonymous 1551589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are great - they look fantastic with everything you've styled them with. And had I known how fantastic that HH dress looks on you , I never would have suggested keeping the Vince over this one. &nbsp;That print is spectacular. I subscribe to your theory of buy one, wear it to death, then replace. &nbsp;I also very much want a simple shelf like yours where I can have my boots in front of me like this and not in a tangled pile. You'd think it would be simple but apparently not for moi. &nbsp;Great decision on the dress - I'm still swooning ! &nbsp; btw - Are the boots burgundy, rust or red? I can't quite tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551563 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:39:51 +0000 viva 1551563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those too, Una. Just saw them in the other post. I'm not sure platform is right for my style but I do like how those look.</p> <p>I returned the Vince dress! I know, sacrilege. But I decided I really truly only needed one going-out dress and I personally loved the Haute Hippie one more. It may date more quickly but I decided that's okay. If I wear and love it for only one season, it will have done its job. Then next season I will find one more fabulous dress to replace it. There is just something about the shape, collar, and print of the HH dress I cannot resist. I have learned that much as I adore the mod 60s, I can't resist certain 70s vibes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/topshop-mary-patent-bootie-kr#post-1551562 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:39:12 +0000 Angie 1551562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE.

(Note to self: size up with TopShop shoes); they are comfortable (maybe not for extreme long wear, but I could wear them right now and for several hours, I'm pretty sure); great looking; not expensive ($140); new shape and new color and new material for my bootie collection; on trend color that works so well with all of my navy/ink (see Angie's blog post of today).</p> <p><b>Cons: </b>Probably hot due to patent? And how long will they be current? On the other hand, all of my booties are newish -- none are more than 2 years old, with the single exception of my suede heeled Cole Haans which may be 3 or 4, but I wear them rarely. So longevity with booties, which I wear a lot in the fall/winter, may not be a big issue.I wear them hard and then replace them.</p> <p>I've styled the Marys here rather quickly with what was on hand -- meaning not a lot of true fall/winter things (it's hot and humid today). (Note: personally, I love how they look with the Haute Hippie dress -- I actually decided to return the Vince lemming dress.) Sorry to cut off my head -- just came in from working out. No one needs to see that.</p> <p>And finally, my bootie capsule. I could still be lured by a well-priced pair of black chelseas but the capsule feels pretty complete. (Note the black heeled suede are out getting "refreshed" for the season.) If I keep these, I won't buy dressy black leather booties ... I will alternate between these patents and the suede to fill that hole, and I think that will work.</p> <p>So ... keep?</p> <p> </p>
