Desert Boots sound perfect! I'm excited to see your next purchase. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-493134 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 03:57:41 +0000 qfbrenda 493134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't care for them, sorry. It's as if you have weights on your ankles... or ski boots... or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-493129 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 03:50:11 +0000 cciele 493129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie -- I like your description of the boots bossing me around! Not to worry, I've moved on to the next boot. By making me think carefully about the boot, you've helped me avoid a spur-of-the-moment purchase. Instead, I realize I need something more in the style of a desert boot, and have ordered a few to see how they work out. </p> <p>I see what you mean by trying the outfits on with my Fryes -- in fact, I've worn the dress in #5 with heeled lace-up Fryes, and my beloved blue ones often go with the leans in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492950 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:31:03 +0000 Angie 492950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(*Spats*. That's the word I was looking for all morning. *slaps forehead*. Thanks for putting me out of my tip of the tongue misery). </p> <p>Cathy (and Rae), thanks for being a very gracious sport. You may have hit the nail on the head with why your grey spat boots are orphaned. I like the boots very much from the front. I am not convinced about the side view snapped, and the unsnapped side view is what I find most overwhelming. It's as if those boots are bossing you around - and YOU must be boss of your boots!</p> <p>If you have time Cathy, you should try these outfits with your more streamlined rugged Fryes - like the blue ones you love so much (I recall those are your favourites). The comparison might help you see what I am seeing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492778 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:55:44 +0000 rae 492778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand where you are coming from. And thank you for clarifying in your other thread that it's the combo of height, curves, and normally narrow ankles - this sounds a lot like me, so that gives Angie's ruling extra weight. I see from the comments that you have Fryes waiting in the wings, too - I think they'd also look great with any of these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492774 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:45:55 +0000 cciele 492774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rae! At this point, I'm leaning toward returning -- already spent a bunch of $ at Anthro and I can wait for the perfect pair of RATE boots to make an appearance </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492674 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:29:13 +0000 rae 492674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, I LOVE these outfits of yours, first of all! Esp #5! Whee!</p> <p>I can't comment on the boots; I'm too close to the issue and I, too, have to seriously mull over Angie's critique. Good luck in your deliberating. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492665 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:08:02 +0000 cciele 492665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una -- maybe! I'm considering Angie's comments :)</p> <p>Laura -- I'm waiting for the purple version to show up and make a decision! The orange is very nice though.</p> <p>Angie -- I like that you tell it as you see it! You know, when I was looking at the side views of the boot, it did occur to me that the wide ankles were a bit off-putting (probably why I don't wear a gray pair of boots with spats that I have). Will definitely be thinking on this. Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492615 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:20:59 +0000 Angie 492615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cathy, I find these boots a little overwhelming for your height and dainty ankles - and I don't know why that is because Una is shorter than you are. Perhaps it's the outfit combinations that they are paired with? </p> <p>You have many, many pairs of Fryes that are much more flattering to my eye - I think because they are less chunky and don't have the top flap that "un-folds" - nor that really WIDE portion at the ankle. </p> <p>Anyway, it sounds like you love these boots and I may have spoiled your fun - which makes me sad :(. But I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't say how I see it. </p> <p>Sorry, Cathy :(. Remember that this is a subjective opinion and you are free to go with what's in your heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492553 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:46:27 +0000 Laura 492553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great with your style. p.s. Off topic, but I've lost track of your thread. What was the conclusion to your Bailey 44 dress post? What size did you keep, and what color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492528 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:40:31 +0000 catgirl 492528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And a triplet is born. KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/una-and-raes-luxury-rebel-boots-in-brown#post-492525 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:37:29 +0000 cciele 492525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Luxury Rebel Brady boots came in today too! I threw together a few outfits with them, from conservative(ish), to casual (flaps of boots unbuttoned but not pulled out), to RATE (holes in fishnets, deconstructed dress, flaps pulled out).</p> <p>At first I thought they were a bit stiff and then I realized I didn't pull the cardboard out that was under the flaps, heh! They fit a bit differently in the toe box than my other boots, but not in an uncomfortable manner. The heel slips, but I'm used to that with my Frye boots. I don't think my feet are particularly wide, and they fit true to size for me in terms of length and width, with a thin sock.</p> <p>What do you think? </p> <p>P.S. The white shirt is a bit transparent -- usually I wear a cami under it but was too lazy here </p>
