It just boils down to what works best with your skin tone and your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644791 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 04:27:22 +0000 ManidipaM 644791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for bronze, then! So much more in sync with your blues and teals, is bronze. (Which I can't believe it took me 36 years to learn, and YLF taught me --- I have a near-obsession with blues, greens and teals too, and have put myself on temporary ban for clothes in those colours!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644780 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 04:13:28 +0000 Diana 644780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I think I've switched my coveting to the bronze color. From what Angie says, I think the white is going to be too bright and white for me, plus I am worried about how they will age. The bronze is a much better bet for my wardrobe. </p> <p>Manidipa, I actually don't own any white jeans and don't think I will ever own any because the visible seaming on every single pair I've ever seen really bugs me. So that potential outfit is not on the table. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644714 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 02:42:51 +0000 ManidipaM 644714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure how well they'd gel with the rest of your wardrobe, Diana. Not yet seen you in very many white garments or light colours. I suspect for the darker-haired among us, white footwear is better in smaller doses (sandals, ballet flats) unless we wear white shirts/skirts/pants really often. It's not easy to bookend with our natural colouring pulling the other way. These *would* look fab with a pair of white jeans though, but at that price point you want something to go beyond one or two possible pairings, yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644657 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:49:23 +0000 Kari 644657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous boots. I like them, but the bronze shade REALLY took my breath away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644651 Wed, 13 Jun 2012 01:44:07 +0000 Angie 644651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen them! Today too, actually. I am a yay vote. Warning: they look quite bright on your feet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644407 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:50:16 +0000 Diana 644407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I was worried about the finish not aging well. Fryes need to last for years! I think that is a dealbreaker for me. Thanks for the input. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644406 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:50:03 +0000 rae 644406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is another pic of the white (on sale here, too, btw). I often find that Amazon pics are a bit washed out compared to real life.<br /> <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Frye-Veronica-Crackled-Leather-Boot-Boots/prod143940086/" rel="nofollow">http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/.....143940086/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644405 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:47:46 +0000 kellygirl 644405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, love the bronze. Those have been in my shopping cart forever! Not keen on the white--but that's coming from Mrs. Conservative </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644402 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:45:37 +0000 annagybe 644402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen them at Nordies. I'm not sure of the finish. I think they would start to look bad really fast and not age well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644394 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:31:08 +0000 Diana 644394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, you might be right. I think these are a little less stark white than plain white leather but it may still be too much white for me. </p> <p>The Carsons that I am going to sell (because they are uncomfortable) are a nude-for-me tan, so I know that tan works. The other (safe) option is just black, as my black DV moto boots are dying anyway and I need replace them. Not too good for summer though.</p> <p>I also just saw the bronze color, which is also cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644387 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:25:50 +0000 rae 644387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How strange! I wish I could just throw some boots in a creek or fish tank and get the same effect... </p> <p>I'm so totally drooling over the link you sent - I never saw these because I always sort by price. Sigh... for now I'm going to assume they won't work for my ankles. Just because it'll make me feel better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644381 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:20:58 +0000 modgrl 644381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like but this color could be tricky for you. You'd have to bookend with some majorly bright clothing and this doesn't seem to be part of your style personal. </p> <p>How about the "tan" as a low contrast neutral for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644375 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:16:59 +0000 Diana 644375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, they also come in the taller Veronica slouch style if you are interested.<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/FRYE-Womens-Veronica-Slouch-Knee-High/dp/B003TE68FA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1339525232&#038;sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/FRYE-Wom.....038;sr=8-3</a></p> <p>I have tried on the Veronica slouch in the stone wash, and they looked cool but were oddly dusty. As in, they left white dust all over my dark jeans. So I'm wondering if they actually did the distressing by washing with stones or sand or something? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644372 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:15:27 +0000 Meredith1953 644372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sadly a "Nay" from me! I prefer the stone, tan, or slate versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644370 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:14:48 +0000 Sheila 644370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I can't wear boots of this height, even as a gal who is sort of a "come-lately" to booths, somehow I think these are cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644367 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:12:32 +0000 rae 644367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the texture! This style of boot in general makes me look pretty stumpy, or I'd try them myself. I also like the "stonewashed" ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-cracked-white-frye-boots#post-644364 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 18:07:40 +0000 Diana 644364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am quite intrigued by these. I like the idea of white boots for summer but in practice find it to be rather too much white for me. The cracked texture of these makes them appear much less stark white, at least in photos. What do you think, yay or nay?<br /> Anyone seen them IRL, by the way?</p> <p>I can't really afford these right now, but was planning to sell my nude Frye Carsons and then replace them with a summery moto-style boot like this.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q9I6KW/ref=s9_simh_gw_p309_d0_g309_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=center-2&#038;pf_rd_r=0556YY5TNTDFV4ZT3TFX&#038;pf_rd_t=101&#038;pf_rd_p=470938631&#038;pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....d_i=507846</a> </p>
