Or is it OTKs in general?&nbsp;</p> <p>I could see you looking amazing in these&nbsp;$945 LD Tuttles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375485 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 07:42:14 +0000 Neel 1375485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chuckling over the stranger and coworker reaction! I think you look stunning with those OTK boots. OTK boots should be renamed OTT boots .. In a good way .... . They are a statement for sure and I think you did really well by keeping the rest of the outfit simple :). Please keep the boots!</p> <p>The caramel boots are a beautiful color on you. Great dye job! And outfit 1 is my absolute favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375483 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 07:22:03 +0000 Jeanie 1375483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great and pulled together very well in all of these. &nbsp;I am loving your hair cut lately. &nbsp;I am familiar with that once over up and down look. &nbsp;I think it happens when you push the conventional fashion boundaries. &nbsp;The OTK boots look great but if you don't love them then maybe you can find some that come just to the knee. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375388 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 03:04:56 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1375388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to everyone for the lovely comments. &nbsp;I am still on the fence about the OTK boots but will hang onto them. &nbsp;I work in a tourist area and went to the market to pick up a snack the day I wore the boots. &nbsp;I walked past&nbsp;a woman who appeared to be in her late 50s and she gave me the most clear signal that she thought my boots were inappropriate. &nbsp;I got the head to toe and back look. &nbsp;It made me smile actually. &nbsp;Then I went to speak to a co-worker who is actually a very spiritual and conservative person and she said she loved the boots and even tried one on. &nbsp;It was really funny.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375309 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 23:52:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1375309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic outfits! I have to say the tall boots and plaid shirt outfit took my breath away. Then I read that you are thinking of sending the tall boots away?! Well, they look ultra super great on you. But if they don't feel like your style, I guess I can understand that. I'm sure all of us have a lot of things we <i>could</i> wear but don't necessarily want to. Maybe you could hang on to them for this season and see if you wear them again? I saw so many of them in the store this season, I think they're very current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375303 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 23:25:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1375303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. The plaid shirt is a terrific color on you, and the over the knee jeans are so current.</p> <p>I've never tried a purse organizer but use a phone wallet and another little clutch that I transfer around inside other bags. And I have a large supply of gum and sunglasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375274 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:38:30 +0000 Anonymous 1375274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - so great to see you in casual clothes ! &nbsp;I love the OTK boots with that shirt - what a stunning colour on you. &nbsp;I also love the casual sweater and jeans look in #1 - simple but nicely put together. You look really good with the half-tuck front.</p> <p>I change bags often throughout the week too - and it means that I'm usually forgetting some key thing like kleenex, mints, a pen, etc and by week's end, every lipstick and gloss I own is all over the place .&nbsp; Never quite mastered the art of organization . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375187 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 20:03:26 +0000 Sara L. 1375187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a great shoe collection!&nbsp; All your outfits look so polished and I think your shoes are a big part of it.&nbsp; I love the plaid shirt and OTK boots, but I can understand them not feeling like quite your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375107 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:39:46 +0000 Diana 1375107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The "new" cognac boots look great!&nbsp; I really like all of these outfits but have to give a special shout out to #3 - those OTK boots look amazing on you.&nbsp; You look so chic and leggy.&nbsp; Please please please keep them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1375025 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:23:25 +0000 Elly 1375025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cognac color with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374951 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:14:05 +0000 Anonymous 1374951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, you are one of those women who looks just smashing in jeans and a white shirt! I'm so jealous. There's a freshness about you that looks really, really good in uber-casual clothes. That's not to say that your dressier looks aren't amazing as well! Your booties turned out great, and the color is in a good range for bookending, though it's not an exact match for your hair. Very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374946 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:09:12 +0000 Angie 1374946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All outfits look terrific. I especially like #3. Killer combination with the OTK boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374913 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:58:17 +0000 Jaime 1374913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The booties and everything else about #1 looks terrific! Great plaid shirt and the blues in #4 are gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374912 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:56:36 +0000 lyn67 1374912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It cannot be done better than that, all! Enough said, big LOVE for ALL&nbsp;your pants outfits! Not Angie, but a k2k from me!:-)</p> <p>I also find changing bags a pain, even with a purse organiser. I guess, I'm&nbsp;a lazy, and always rushing person, 2 seconds it's still too much for a change:-). But I can recommend the chameleon purse organizers.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYQQgu5a3o" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYQQgu5a3o</a></p> <p>I have the XL, and these are much more quality than others, IMO.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374893 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:09:10 +0000 Staysfit 1374893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, I change bags daily also. Here's an idea for you if you don't do this already. Have you used an organizer insert? I use one. I pull it out of one bag and drop it into the next. It's fast and easy! I can quickly find everything inside my bag. My bags interior stays cleaner than it used to. My counters stay clear.</p> <p>You can do an online search. They are worth the investment. They come in different sizes. (If you accumulate junk during the week, I can't help you there!)</p> <p>Your booties look great. I saw your original post when you were considering the color change. You look great in everything you are wearing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374889 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:55:26 +0000 Jenny H 1374889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait, shoe repair places can change the color of shoes or boots? I think you just changed my life, LOL!</p> <p>I think these outfits are all great. I especially like #1 and #2. I really like the slouchy skinny jeans-- a slouchy look without having to cuff the jeans up high which is my least favorite part of my boyfriend jeans. Did you just get a bigger size for that look? Or was this pair just cut not as skinny?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374886 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:51:35 +0000 Lynne 1374886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!&nbsp; The dyed shoes came out really well and the colour is great, to my eye.&nbsp; I'm loving all of these on you, but my favourite are the fitted, cropped jacket and longer plaid shirt; there's something about these two proportions&nbsp;that really appeal to my eye.&nbsp; The OTK boots look great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374853 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:01:17 +0000 tulle 1374853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so photogenic--and so well turned out!&nbsp; Each look has something great:&nbsp; the casual jeans, the jacket with grommets, the gorgeous plaid shirt, the pretty scarf. And nice handbag pairings </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374817 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 04:27:28 +0000 catgirl 1374817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, our shirt looks incredible on you! And 1 is so flattering. The second outfit looks so grown up sophisticated to me - way out of my league for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---dyed-booties-and-other-work-stuff#post-1374812 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 04:21:36 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1374812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted last week about having the Tsubo Cusus that I have in red dyed brown. &nbsp;I took them to a shoe repair store and got them back on Thursday. &nbsp;The shoe has a layered effect and he had to lift each layer to dye it and treat it. &nbsp;I find they don't lay as flat as they did before. &nbsp;The color came out a deep caramel which isn't bad and I don't have.</p> <p>I have been making an effort to change bags most days. &nbsp;By the end of the week, the dining room table looked a bit like a purse changing station.</p> <p>#1 old not so skinny jeans with Jcrew linen top and the dyed tsubo booties. &nbsp;I wore this to go to Tony's place for Thanksgiving dinner. &nbsp;We are a very casual family and I knew the house would be warm after having the oven on all afternoon.</p> <p>#2 &nbsp;Jones new york wideleg pants<br />Faux leather jacket<br />Black/brown bag<br />Green Earth booties</p> <p>#3 &nbsp;Una plaid shirt (urban outfitters)<br />black ponte pants<br />Miz Mooz OTK boots.<br />I put on these boots and the SE knee high and preferred the knee high but wore these to help decide if I should keep or donate them. &nbsp;I am still on the fence but am leaning towards giving them up. &nbsp;I don't think they fit my style.</p> <p>#4 &nbsp;Straight leg black pants,<br />Blue surplice sweater<br />new scarf (can't remember where it is from)<br />Red Liz Claiborne bag<br />Splendid red oxfords</p> <p>I am loving these shoes and have worn them three times since i got them.</p> <p>Suggestions and comments welcome.</p> <p> </p>
