Sharan, I think you're right. Heeled boots don't replace flats. I think I'll keep both since they're both in good condition and I don't want to purge too soon and then have to buy the same thing again. </p> <p>Thank you again, everyone. Your collective wisdom always always makes so much sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1547251 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 04:51:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1547251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, I like the looks of the tall ones. And I don't see heeled boots as a duplication of flat ones. <br />You may find yourself wanting the mid-calf option sometimes, too, once boot weather arrives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1547108 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 01:09:14 +0000 Roxanna 1547108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first ones too as they seem to fit you better and to my eyes the higher shaft is more flattering, but to echo everyone - wait it out (from a fellow purged, I know how hard this can be!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546844 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 18:18:53 +0000 Anonymous 1546844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea to figure out where you want your style direction to go this winter before making decisions!<br /> You'll need to know what's in stores for fall to decide, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546666 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:50:52 +0000 Maneera 1546666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks a lot, Angie. You're the expert! If you think they're worth holding onto, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind Thanks again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546661 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:43:13 +0000 Angie 1546661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(There is a difference between modern classic and dated items).&nbsp;</p> <p>Hold onto the boots till colder weather. They don't look dated to me either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546641 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:14:27 +0000 Maneera 1546641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies. I agree... It is too early to make any decisions. </p> <p>I'm not very concerned about looking dated, honestly. I wear classic styles with ease, coz they go well with the rest of my wardrobe. However, I do already have the same length tall flat black boots....I also have two pairs of calf length black boots that are flats. I think this may be a problem of plenty! </p> <p>Fact is that I don't end up wearing heels very often, so I thought just one pair should be enough. But then, I have no idea how my winter style will shape up this year. So I think I'll do a post with all the black boots I have once it's time to wear them, and then ask for your advice on which ones to let go. After all, there are only so many days in our winter (lasts no more than 4 months) and I can't possibly do justice to so many pairs of black boots. </p> <p>Thanks for your inputs again, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546629 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:01:35 +0000 Alassë 1546629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-2 fit you perfectly, so waiting to purge sounds like a good idea. They're classic, not dated, to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546625 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:56:48 +0000 unfrumped 1546625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no help because I think both look useful unless you have identified other styles you know you want and so find "making room" helpful in making that shift.<br />The second pair might work well with the trending "taller low boot".<br />I'm struggling with my feelings about wedges also so if I were buying new, I'd get flat or stacked heel, but these might be placeholders for styling, plus wedges are often so comfortable.</p> <p>I hear you on getting ahead of oneself on wardrobe editing when season is not yet here. I've been trying to find time to do more "tidying" and of course one recommended approach is to go through entire wardrobe, and I've done that before. Plus, it's hard to do NAS without a good review of&nbsp;F/W wardrobe. &nbsp;And, despite temps still hitting 90's, I can feel that touch of fall in the light now. But I am learning that I'll probably make better decisions closer to the season when it feels better to try on sweaters and tights and such. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546615 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:48:08 +0000 Anonymous 1546615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the taller ones better, for the same reason Astrid mentioned. Just a little more streamlined.<br />We are all so conscious of being dated! I don't think they look dated. Just a classic boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546587 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 13:06:23 +0000 celia 1546587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would hold on until the time you actually have to wear them. As you say the summer clothing and light sometimes doesn't let us see things in context. Fwiw I would keep both because they are sufficiently different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546581 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 12:50:50 +0000 Word Lily 1546581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think waiting to make the decision is smart. You've talked about wearing all day as part of your test for purging/keeping, and waiting would allow you to do that. I think the second pair might be more on-trend (the shaft height, plus the wedge heel?) but I like streamlined, too. In any case, wait until the weather cools off to decide. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546476 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:40:35 +0000 Astrid 1546476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea to wait then. I think purging out of season is never a good idea. When it's warm I just can't imagine wanting to wear some winter things and vice versa... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546475 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:37:41 +0000 Maneera 1546475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like a good plan, Astrid! I'll donate one in any case.....but I can wait to make that decision when winter arrives. All the 'boots' talk on YLF got me excited to make some decisions about mine But honestly, I won't be wearing any until December... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546474 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:26:12 +0000 Astrid 1546474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you hold on to both pairs until it's colder then? Maybe see which ones out of the two you're reaching for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546473 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:23:55 +0000 Maneera 1546473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Astrid. I think I didn't wear them for the exact same reason you mentioned. I like things streamlined too. I like a crisp look that's classic feminine....the wedge heeled boots 'felt' too chunky. And I was into wearing only tall boots last winter.....I didn't wear any calf length ones - not even flats. I don't know how I'll feel this winter though..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546471 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:18:43 +0000 Astrid 1546471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally prefer everything streamlined, so I like the first pair better. But if you're gut tells you to keep the second pair, listen to it. Why exactly didn't you wear them so far, what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-of-these-boots-should-go#post-1546465 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 08:05:00 +0000 Maneera 1546465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have too many pairs of black boots for winter. I mostly wear flat boots...and I have 3 pairs for that. But I also have two pairs with heel...and I would ideally like to keep only one. I do want to add one pair of heeled ankle length booties this year, so don't need both these boots. </p> <p>I can't decide which of these should go. I don't love either very much....but will keep 1. </p> <p>I think #1-2 have a very dated look. I already have flat black knee length boots I prefer to wear more often. </p> <p>#3-4 have a wedge heel but are calf length. I've had these boots all of last year but just not worn them. However, I think I like them just a smidge more....though I'm not sure. #5 is a full length photo. </p> <p>Which boots look less ridiculous? Do my proportions look better in one as opposed to the other? </p> <p>I understand it's hard to imagine them in an outfit when I'm wearing summer clothes. That's probably the reason I can't choose which are less hideous either! But I wore the tights just to give a general idea.....I'll wear both boots in a similar fashion ---pulled over ponte leggings/pants and skinny jeans. </p> <p>I apologize in advance for the horrid photos and messy room. I was pulling the boots out of the under-the-bed storage and didn't have any natural light today to make the photos clear. I hope you can make out 'something'. </p>
