But I don't think you do skinnies much, right? I am not a fan of the flowerpot style on me as I can't style it - but Aida can! It took me a while to realize that no one bootie can do it all - though my patent Topshop ones come close. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1579156 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 01:26:27 +0000 Suz 1579156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am no help because I like them all and think you look fabulous!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1579067 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 19:56:14 +0000 ladyjules 1579067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 the most, then #2. I associate ankle booties with casual style, especially light ones, such as the pair you're wearing in #1. But to me, I get the impression that you feel the best in the 3rd outfit. It looks like something that suits you perfectly. :)<br />&nbsp;Also, I would have preferred to see some waist in the 1st outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1576263 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 12:40:25 +0000 Gail 1576263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the booties styled in 2 and 3. I like the taupe booties colorwise in 1 but as others have suggested I too think they would look better if they were narrower at the top to avoid the "flower pot issue". I have the same problem with a pair I have and can only wear them with skinnies tucked and even then they still look a little wide to me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1576257 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 12:29:32 +0000 dakotacheryl 1576257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, I also would prefer #1 with pants, either skinnies tucked in, or rolled cuffs to top of boot.</p> <p>The other two pairs work with pants and skirts (and I really like the skirt outfit you put together in #3) to my eye...nice bootie wardrobe!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1576249 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 10:47:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1576249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these outfits. I agree with FC that's the boots in no 1 would work well with pants. But I don't mind the flower pot effect either so I think they work as you have styled them. And I think you look great in no 2. Maybe it is just an eye adjustment issue - cos I think YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1576244 Sun, 25 Oct 2015 10:33:23 +0000 lyn67 1576244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>T his post was really helpful, including comments, I've learned a lot from others analysis on your &nbsp;booties! Personally, I think all of these look great, even the flower pot one, haha!:-)))) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1567080 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 21:50:07 +0000 Aida 1567080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah I am all about the flower pot for some styles of boots <i>for me -- y</i>ou don't have the same boho streak that I do though. So for you I prefer something more tailored, and agree with Sharon's thoughts about the taupe pair working nicely with pants (though I do like how they look with a skirt too; I particularly like to wear my flower-potted boots with shorts, but usually they're flatter). I vote your eye needs to adjust to #2, that whole boot+pant combo is fab particularly with the sliver of skin showing. Those boots work VERY well with pants. The boots in #3 should work well with both pants and skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1567028 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 19:24:30 +0000 kerlyn 1567028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable in all of these! &nbsp;I agree with Sharan about trying pants with the taupe ones. &nbsp;It took my eye awhile to adjust to ankle boots with pants or dresses, but now I love them. &nbsp;I actually got inspiration from Lucy Liu in the TV show Elementary. &nbsp;She wears ankle boots all the time, and she looks so cute in them! &nbsp;I don't think she's very tall, but she doesn't seem to worry about the leg-shortening effect at all. &nbsp;She just rocks it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1567024 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 19:14:13 +0000 Maneera 1567024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Sharan. That really helps! I'm definitely going to try the taupe boots with pants....and I'm glad to finally know what the 'flower pot' effect is! Lol! </p> <p>I agree about#2. My eye definitely needs to adjust to this look. And I'm sure it will, during the course of this winter. Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1567014 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 18:42:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1567014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, you wear the ankle boots well! I prefer the style in 1 with pants rather than a skirt, because the top of the bootie is wide. It gives a bit of the "flower pot effect," as people here on the forum refer to it. <br />I would wear those taupe boots with skinnies tucked in. <br />I think the booties with pants in 2 is dynamite. Maybe your eye needs to adjust. I like 3; the opening on this boot looks a little narrower, so there's not so much space between your leg and the boot opening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-to-style-booties#post-1566971 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 15:57:39 +0000 Maneera 1566971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ladies</p> <p>I promise - this will be my last post for the weekend!!! I've been kind of hogging the forum today.....I apologize. </p> <p>I had a little free time so I pulled out my 3 pairs of ankle boots. The taupe/grey pair is old - about 3 years, but rarely worn. I didn't know how to style it, and always preferred tall or mid-calf length boots in the past. The 2 black pairs are new. I'll like to wear my boots in October as we transition into winter. It's not cold yet; the weather is in late 20's C, but evenings are very cool and pleasant </p> <p>So, do you think these outfits work? Are the proportions working? I'll add some sort of lightweight topper as and when it cools a bit...</p> <p>I feel that ankle length boots DO NOT work for me with pants. I can't figure out why. They look better with skirts. Am I wrong? Or is it just about re-adjusting my eye, since I'm used to seeing my pants tucked into tall boots? </p> <p>I would really really appreciate your honest opinion/criticism. Thanks for looking. </p>
