I haven't thought of wearing a jacket over this dress as it is pretty loose, but I will try that! Looks like there are some differences of opinion re: boot height. I chose not to go with black because it would be an all black outfit. </p> <p>Would love any visuals of similar outfits with better colors and proportions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868132 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:38:38 +0000 kellygirl 868132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think proportions are perfect. I've been finding that I reach for midcalf more than anything these days. I love them with this dress. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868130 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:37:12 +0000 cciele 868130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this helps, here's Angie about hemlines and slouchy boots that hit mid-calf. I think similar principles apply (e.g., hemline above the knee):<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/09/29/wearing-dresses-with-slouch-boots/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/09/.....uch-boots/</a></p> <p>And also,<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/10/01/how-to-wear-calf-length-boots/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/10/.....gth-boots/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868119 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:29:54 +0000 DonnaF 868119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMHO, this looks great, esp. with the design elements of your dress. It would be more difficult to pull off with a longer hem or a top and skirt. I think Angie has an article on mid-calf boots, but maybe it only addressed slouchy ones. I am envious that mid-calf boots flatter you. [My calves are way at the other end of the spectrum, so I am fortunate that I don't live in boot wearing country.] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868112 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:24:34 +0000 cciele 868112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ratio you have there -- that's how I would wear my midcalf boots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868110 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:23:17 +0000 shedev 868110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868104 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:19:08 +0000 Suz 868104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good. If it bugs you, you could match tights to the boots and dress. Then there is no worry. And that is MY FFB strategy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868066 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:35:46 +0000 Diana 868066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me. This is my preferred boot height for dresses of this length as it shows a nice amount of leg. I only like tall boots with shorter skirts than this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868065 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:33:55 +0000 deb 868065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add a moto jacket and I think it will work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868045 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:23:41 +0000 Sara L. 868045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit and don't see anything wrong with the proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868043 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:22:39 +0000 Anonymous 868043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the issue, if any, is the tights, not the boots vs. dress. I have never been able to figure out color tights and / or successfully winterize a knit dress of that shape so I'm of zero help.</p> <p>I still think you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868040 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:21:18 +0000 ironkurtin 868040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great to me. Don't touch it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868035 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:18:22 +0000 Anonymous 868035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there a shorter layer you can toss on top to break things up? Or is that too warm? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868031 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:14:59 +0000 Tina.b 868031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is great, looks comfortable and cozy, and it plays to your style. I am no expert on proper boot height, but I think this looks fantastic. I do think mid calf boots are the most versatile invention ever. I may have to try this myself. Sometimes when I wear booties with a bare leg or a lighter pair of tights, I find the contrast too jarring with the large expanse of calf and I think this height of boot solves the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868024 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:12:42 +0000 Kalli 868024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress, and I love the booties. However, you are right., my eyes say this seems a little off ratio. </p> <p>I guess a taller boot? Or different color stockings. My preference is to extend the line of the leg. Or wear a shorter boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-with-h-d-boots-and-ratio-question#post-868020 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:09:36 +0000 catgirl 868020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FFBO - this Eileen Fisher dress. Worn with the Harley-Davidson booties. I think I need a tutorial on correct boot to skirt length proportions, along the lines of PPL for various types of pants. Is this an acceptable ratio? </p> <p>All feedback welcome! </p>
