I have been wanting one, and I think they are coming back. I love the outfits, especially the boots with pleated skirt.</p> <p>I would wear the hell out of those boots, but I would probably show off the whole boot--tight jeans, leather leggings, etc. It is hard to say about the scrunching. I might wear them fully exposed, with leggings or whatever, and ask a friend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405799 Sat, 07 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000 MsMary 2405799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, yes! My skirt was from Ann Taylor and I did indeed buy it at Seattle Shoptember Ingefest lo, these many years ago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405596 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 23:11:50 +0000 AJ 2405596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JAileen and Kellygirl</p> <p>Jaime - I'm glad to hear that bunching is gaining popularity!&nbsp; Maybe I will go outside my comfort zone and try the boots with a knee length skirt/dress.</p> <p>MsMary - I remember your skirt! I think I was there to witness you buying it at the last Seatlle meet-up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Debbie - Thanks!&nbsp; Did you get through the freeze fine?&nbsp; So grateful that we lost power for only 30 min!</p> <p>Star - I don't enjoy wearing skinnies anymore, but maybe I should try the boots with a pair of slim straights...hmmm.</p> <p>Angie - Boots are killer?!!&nbsp; Thanks!!!! Curious...when an outfit has energy, I always think of bold patterns or bright colors.&nbsp; What makes this dark neutral outfit have energy?</p> <p>Lisa - My grey boots have warm undertones.&nbsp; Should undertones match when putting together a column of color?</p> <p>Ummlila - That was my concern.&nbsp; I'll have to venture another outfit where the boots are displayed in all their glory and get another forum consensus.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Jonesy - I miss your WIW's!!</p> <p>Avicennia - Here's the blog post where Angie mentions that it is not easy.&nbsp; See "4. Slated Blue."</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405506 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:36:34 +0000 avicennia 2405506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grays are hard to match? I wear a column of gray often—it never occurred to me that that was hard to pull off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405491 Tue, 03 Feb 2026 22:59:22 +0000 Jonesy 2405491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto everything Angie just said :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405430 Tue, 03 Feb 2026 02:20:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2405430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color and shape mix in the first look. I think the boots look great from the front but over large from the other angles you’ve shown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405409 Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:34:15 +0000 Lisa 2405409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the slouch vibe of the boots. And also the pairing of brown and greys in #1. I see more and more often a mix of similar but not identical tones in outfits lately. Very sharp! I say try a mix of greys outfit sometime too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405369 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 18:09:53 +0000 Angie 2405369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boots are KILLER awesome, and you've styled them beautifully here, <b>AJ</b>! Wear the boots with a happy heart :)</p> <p>#1 is fashion forward, and you look absolutely smashing! I see verve and energy. Please carry on.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405301 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 04:36:26 +0000 Star (Lise) 2405301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not weird, love the boot slouch. Cool purple jacket too. YLF! </p> <p>I would try those boots over slim jeans too, but I know that is not everyone 's cup of tea. I think the slouch is particularly good with dresses and skirts with a bit of volume like the one you are wearing, but maybe they will also work with a slimmer silhouette. All in all I really like them and have some boot envy :). They are a fab grey too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405300 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 04:34:46 +0000 kellygirl 2405300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit. I think the boots look slouchy in a cool way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405290 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 02:41:27 +0000 Debbie 2405290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. The boots look great to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405282 Mon, 02 Feb 2026 00:15:45 +0000 MsMary 2405282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's all great! I had a skirt like that and wore it until it literally disintegrated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405278 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 23:56:59 +0000 Jaime 2405278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit! I know what you mean by your boot question. I often have/find pieces that have details that I wouldn't choose in isolation but because they work well in their role I let it go. The bunching and zipper do not bother me and I have seen a lot of boots with bunching on the internet this year. This is a case where the whole is greater than the parts and the outfit as a whole is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405273 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 23:15:40 +0000 JAileen 2405273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;Just fabulous. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-squared-elements#post-2405264 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:23:48 +0000 AJ 2405264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wore to church.<br /> Double brown: sweatshirt &amp; faux leather skirt<br /> Double grey: necklace &amp; boots<br /> Double slouch: sweatshirt &amp; boots<br /> White crew neck t-shirt<br /> Purple trench with brown tortoise shell buttons<br /> I wanted to wear these boots and originally started with an all grey outfit, but then I remembered that Angie once mentioned that greys were hard to match. Sure enough, all my grey pieces did not play nice together. So I pivoted to this outfit. I like the subtle school uniform vibe. </p> <p>Question: How do we feel about the boots? I Thrifted them many years ago because I thought the zippers all the way to the top looked cool and provides a better fit for my narrow calves. However, I only wear them with midi skirts or wide leg/boot cut bottoms. Does the extra bunching in the back look weird? </p>
