The brown Aquatalia boots are here. They absolutely INCREDIBLE. Impeccable quality, WEATHERPROOF, great fit, comfortable, FANTASTIC ankle tailoring, lightweight, and casually refined. Just what I wanted.
See pics - NOT styled. Threw them on with what I'm wearing now
DILEMMA:
They are darker than cognac (and the stock photo). Darker than ideal. I don't think I will wear them unless I have a topper and belt to match.
The belt is easy to get. The topper rundown is as follows.
There are 4 brown NAS toppers I'm considering:
1. RL Brown tweed coat is GORGEOUS. Ever so slightly itchy, so it might be bye-bye.
2. Bernardo Shearling Moto is GORGEOUS. Impeccable quality. Great texture. Darker in person, and a perfect brown match with the boots! A little big, and needs a slight alteration.
3. RL Shearling Bomber with cream trim (arrives Friday)
4. RL Cream Teddy with brown trim (arrives Friday)
SOOOOO, my plan is to wait for ALL the toppers, compare them, do an outfit creation session with them AND the boots, and assess how I feel in these darker brown items. And ask hubs Greg what he thinks.
I find this type of purchasing and style puzzling exhilarating!!! I'm bouncing off the walls!!! Wonder where I'll land
Stay tuned!
UPDATE: I'm keeping ONE brown topper as a wildcard experiment, and the brown boots are going back. More in a separate thread on WHY I came to that decision!
Can you guess which topper I'm keeping?
