Natalie suggested them to me, and I *think* the fabric is smooth enough. I need to get me to the mall!<br /> <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=68131&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=107774&#038;scid=107774002" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=107774002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496513 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:02:56 +0000 Angie 496513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! Definitely not petite. I have 5ft 2 clients, like Meredith who you met on the blog, who NEVER shop petites. It makes sense. </p> <p>I dare you to wear orange pants, Rae - they can be burnt orange </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496436 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 18:12:26 +0000 cciele 496436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock the orange for sure Rae! Sorry the boots didn't work out because they fit really well. I see what you mean about where it meets the midi hem -- not a good look Hope you find something that works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496338 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:35:15 +0000 rae 496338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I'm 5'4". So on the shorter side, but I never wear petites. </p> <p>I'm very excited for the orange invasion - I think I could definitely wear orange with my turquoise crossbody bag this summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496316 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 16:10:51 +0000 Angie 496316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, remind me of your height? </p> <p>I think we'll see lots of orange all over the globe in 2012. You can stay in LA :). I really like orange with turquoise and shocking pink. Too girly for you probably. But Queen Orange rocks orange any way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496230 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:57:12 +0000 Laura 496230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All hail, Queen Orange!<br /> Those boots are great, but how frustrating that they interfere with midi length </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496171 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 06:27:08 +0000 rae 496171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Refugee, I stayed far, far, away from orange until very recently - and now I can't get enough! I was totally put off by one top in the wrong shade of orange and missed out on years of orange-wearing fun. I think it is worth trying a couple different shades if you like the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496125 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:41:11 +0000 Refugee 496125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you make me believe that I may have been a bit harsh toward orange (I have none and always bypass it in favor of other colors). It is a gorgeous color on you. Perhaps when I am out shopping tomorrow, I'll look for something orange at least to try on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496111 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 03:18:21 +0000 rae 496111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly, Lyn! It's the Ikea beige of deep space. lol. </p> <p>Natalie, it's just my den, right next to the computer for easy photo uploads. Ooh, and you've reminded me that I want to wear one of my lime sweaters soon... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496094 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:56:03 +0000 lyn* 496094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ Lunar Taupe ... it reminds me of an off-white with a tinge of green ... or what people would paint their star ship walls :p </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496093 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:55:00 +0000 goldenpig 496093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I agree, you look so spectacular in orange! In fact, I'd love to dub you Queen Citrus, because you look so great in brights like orange, citron, lime, etc. And I love how you paired it with that cognac bag--so rich.</p> <p>Those boots are interesting! So they're designed to be worn unzipped like that? Nice find for skinny calves. If I didn't already have my cognac Timberland's I'd check it out! Love the coat too!</p> <p>Oh, and I love getting a glimpse of the wider view! Where is that in your house? I had always assumed you were taking pictures in your closet. Awesome that you have your necklaces as wall art! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496087 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:35:48 +0000 rae 496087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, Amazon has them in two shades of burgundy, black, and whatever "lunar taupe" means. Looks like a greenish brown?<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Naya-Womens-Quail-Knee-High-Taupe/dp/B0050AL45K/ref=sr_1_1?s=shoes&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1325126183&#038;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Naya-Wom.....038;sr=1-1</a></p> <p>Angie, imagine all the orange items I could score in Amsterdam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496082 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:22:44 +0000 Mo 496082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I didn't already have my cognac boots I'd be hot on the trail of these.<br /> Love that over coat on you - it was an awesome choice for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496081 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:18:34 +0000 Angie 496081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the boots, Rae! But do see what you mean :(. Onto the next pair. </p> <p>I hereby crown you Queen Orange! That means that you have to reside in Amsterdam for while. You can bring hubs and the kitties along for the ride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496076 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:11:13 +0000 lyn* 496076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are cute boots rae, I'm sorry they didn't work out for you! - I love your bag in 1/2 ... Love seeing those bright colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-boot-review-possibly-great-boots-for-skinny-calves#post-496063 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:00:43 +0000 rae 496063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not keeping these boots, but I thought I would share, because it turns out the back zipper is actually functional and can adjust the boot shaft down to 13"! They are the Naya Quail.<br /> <a href="http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=881777&#038;locale=en_US&#038;kwid=1&#038;sem=false&#038;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%3D%26esrc%3Ds%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D10%26ved%3D0CKABEBYwCQ%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.piperlime.com%252Fproducts%252Fnaya-quail-P881777.jsp%26ei%3DA8v7TreUH-qFiAKb8fSwDg%26usg%3DAFQjCNEDCIQm1A8kKDMLRbVjX8_MNnLFqQ" rel="nofollow">http://piperlime.gap.com/brows.....X8_MNnLFqQ</a></p> <p>They are really nice, but for whatever reason, they slouch in a very jagged way around the inner ankle. I don't know if this is because my ankles are so proportionately small compared to my calves or what... if you look at pic 5, you can see two distinct indentations instead of a normal drape/slouch. It wouldn't bother me all THAT much, but I really wanted something to wear with the midi in #4. Between the color being darker than I'd hoped, the non-sleek ankle, and the fact that the shaft ends *right* at the midi hem, I have to pass. If you have normal sized ankles and small calves, though, these could be the boots for you - very comfy and well-made. </p> <p>1-2 is just my WIW from today. $1 orange cowl, and a $10 gray cardi from Target, which has been on my shopping list to pair with brights. </p>
