It's not one of those boots that needs to be leg-hugging to look fab, IMHO.&nbsp;It will be interesting to see what the reaction is to these boots on me -- the fit is so different! I can't wait to get them back from the shoe repair guy (who is gently stretching the chap portion for me). Next week they will make their debut on me. :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-because-i-couldnt-post-before#post-1049268 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 19:52:14 +0000 rachylou 1049268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm faving this outfit, Una.

And the skirt is just perfect -now I want a grey wool skirt, which is something I've never thought about before. Damn, and I thought I was doing so well this season with the no-shopping... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-because-i-couldnt-post-before#post-1048962 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 13:03:16 +0000 Ornella 1048962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, this is&nbsp;fab! Fab, Una! Let's call you FabUna from now on and be done with that.</p> <p>Good decision to keep the boots, I love them on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Btw,&nbsp;can I see the skirt close-up?? It looks fantastic. And I may just have to do navy+grey asap, like even if only for the school run later today. I've been thinking of pairing the two&nbsp;together for a while but don't have much time to experiment, but now I no longer have to imagine what they look like... thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-because-i-couldnt-post-before#post-1048951 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:30:43 +0000 Jaime 1048951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You made all the right decisions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-because-i-couldnt-post-before#post-1048928 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:13:46 +0000 amiable 1048928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;yes - it's perfect! &nbsp;I too am thrilled that you kept them. &nbsp;Thank you for the eye candy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-because-i-couldnt-post-before#post-1048926 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:12:14 +0000 shedev 1048926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love tis Una, good decision to keep the Cortonas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-because-i-couldnt-post-before#post-1048918 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 11:59:11 +0000 Anonymous 1048918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You felt sassy, cool and tough in them?
