Help needed with boots

Glory

For me one of the biggest learnings from Angie and YLF has been in the footwear department. I have found it to make a huge difference to whether I feel frumpy in my casual outfits.

I am gearing up for fall and wondering if I should replace any of these or add. I am wondering if 3 and 4 are outdated?

I wear jeans: boyfriend, skinny and bootcut. I also have black ponte pants.

I have
Black Tall Frye Veronicas (no picture)
1. Ankle Joseph Seibel - black
2. Navy ankle
3. black short boots - keep or toss?
4. black ankle - keep or toss?

Do you wear much in the lighter end of the spectrum? I found a pair of fawn-coloured flat boots to be a workhorse last winter, and I loved how they bookended my lighter sweater choices, keeping me from feeling SO heavy all the time. The visual weight of all dark shoes sometimes wears on me a bit during the dreary winter months.

I agree that cognac/camel is nice as well as something in the taupe/gray family. I recently added the latter and I'm getting a lot of wear from them.

What AnnieMouse said. With your light hair I would think a taupe or tan bootie or even white, cream, or grey would be a great addition.

thanks. Sona, AnnieMouse, Textsyle and Suz - do you think 3 and 4 are still current?

Hoping someone will have some guidance on boot 3 and 4 and whether they are current.
I have been pondering this one for awhile as an addition.

I see nothing particularly dating about 3 or 4. 3 has the popular narrower toe box, and I like the leather scrunching effect. 4 is maybe not as current but I still like. 1 is my favorite in style but has the highest heel so might not be your first choice for everything. You have a variety of heel heights here. If you like and wear the variety and feel no particular need to purge I see no reason to toss. More trendy minded eyes might disagree, but I would be happy with any of them myself if not for heel height (fussy feet).

I don't think 3 or 4 looks particularly dated. I've a bit of poison eye for pre-scrunched leather, so they wouldn't be my personal picks, but if you like them and find them comfy, I see no reason to pitch them.

I like the tan you posted above, Glory. Those would be very flexible!

Since you tend toward booties, another option might be the Seychelle Lucky Penny, if you wanted something a bit off the path, as it were. I recieved the Pewter today, and am quite enamoured - just enough warmth in the metallic tone to keep them versatile, just enough RATE to make my rocker-self happy, and just enough glitz to make me feel very special all around. They're also very comfy. ^_^

Another vote for a lighter pair. I have a taupe suede midheight book that I love, even with my darker hair. 3&4 are still fine, I think. I wouldn't rush to replace them.

I'm not in love with 3 whether they are current or not. I like #1 - they seem arty. Agree a lighter color would be fab with your coloring!
