I've seen other people mention so I'll have to go search the forum for enlightenment. </p> <p>Viva - I can't collect because I'm at home in my ipad but here's a link.<br /> <a href="http://www.drmartens.com/us/Womens/Womens-Boots/PASCAL/p/15672651" rel="nofollow">http://www.drmartens.com/us/Wo.....p/15672651</a></p> <p>Aida - those a great examples! I have looked on Pinterest but I was searching dr martens. Maybe I should search lace up boots instead because I didn't find any of those looks. Thank you!</p> <p>Dianthus - thank you for saying that. I'm definitely going to play around with skirt look and length. I'm realizing I'm such a pants girl....I've got to find my groove on dresses and skirts.</p> <p>You ladies rock. Thanks for the feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-day-help-styling-docs#post-1353345 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:49:13 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1353345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't look sausage-like at all. &nbsp;Those skinnies look great on you.</p> <p>I think the trick to putting booties or ankle boots with skirts/dresses is to keep the skirt fairly sleek and at the knee or an bit above to show a bit of leg. &nbsp;It can work if you get the proportions right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-day-help-styling-docs#post-1353313 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 23:05:38 +0000 Aida 1353313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit looks great! Good suggestions already, wanted to add that a pencil skirt could be a fun juxtaposition with the boots. You could also try longer skinnies tucked in and then pulled out a bit for a rougher look; I'd don a sleek top half with this (like a silk button-up shirt).</p> <p>Other ideas:<br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/550142910704686039/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/428123508300951292/</a><br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/428123508300951299/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/428123508300951299/</a><br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/428123508300951300/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/428123508300951300/</a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-day-help-styling-docs#post-1353233 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:42:45 +0000 viva 1353233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots! Can you provide a link or Find for them? I'd love to see them up close.</p> <p>What about wearing them with a VC tube skirt (knee-length) and drapey or diagonal hem sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-day-help-styling-docs#post-1353230 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 21:31:40 +0000 rabbit 1353230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great outfit! &nbsp; Well skinnies are a slam dunk, some drapey pants might work too (track pant type?), &nbsp;simple dresses (fit and flare might be too teenage, but hi-low and waist surrendering styles are worth a shot). &nbsp;They probably look better with shorter skirts because of the lace-up&nbsp;height and flat heel, so then it's a matter of finding shorter skirts that read more sophisticated than teen? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-day-help-styling-docs#post-1353176 Thu, 11 Sep 2014 20:03:17 +0000 Angie_T 1353176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am truly madly deeply in love with these boots and can get a lot of wear out of them when I'm working outdoors. But I'm struggling with how to style them in other settings and they are so comfy that I want to wear them more!</p> <p>It's rainy here today so I paired them with coated Vigoss jeans, a drapey white top from Anthro and a scarf.&nbsp; I promise the jeans don't look as sausagey in real life, I think it's the combination of camera flash and the coating.&nbsp; </p> <p>It kinda makes me happy to be a 50 year old woman wearing the same shoes my college kids girlfriends are wearing.&nbsp; But I don't want to be a Mutton either. </p> <p>What do ya'll think? </p> <p>I'd love suggestions on other ways to wear these boots.&nbsp; I've seen<br /> Shannon combine beautifully with skirts, but as I mentioned in my post<br /> yesterday, I'm challenged to find the right hem length with ankle<br /> boots.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p>
