Help...more purses and perhaps some boots

Glory

Or slap me silly for going back to Winners. First boots- these are "vegan" are the brand Baretraps, comfy, good price. But what do you think on looks, and is it better to stick with or hold out for leather. Now the purses...how does this indecision happen. They had new purses there today. So up for decision we have the Red fossil from yesterdays post, pattern fossil which is the same purse different pattern, and now a brown tone hobo purse and although it looks like leather it is also "vegan".
K/R on the Boots?
Which purse if any should I keep?

Gosh, you are having a Winners field day, aren't you?

I am hesitant about the boots, but that may simply be a style preference (and not a reflection on the boots' fabness or lack thereof.) They do seem to fit you well with the jeans and that is a huge consideration. They're also a nice colour. So if they fit your needs and you like the sort of slouchy style, then sure!

As for the bags, I can't comment too well because bags are such a personal preference. These two are a bit more boho than my own taste so I would not be drawn to them. But if they work for your taste, then my only concern would be that bucket bags can become very tiresome; it is tough to find anything in them without compartments.

Suz thanks. Yikes on the Winners...I did see your gold moto there, and Rae's new suit. Agreed on the bucket bag - is probably too big for me as I am only 5'4". Yeah I do fall hard for the boho look - I cannot decide between the 2 fossil purses. So with the boots - is it the vegan or overall style?

If you like a boho look then the boots are terrific!

I have a sort of poison eye for vegan leather, or maybe it is a poison hand. I just don't like how it feels. Which is awful, because I also hate what we do to animals. So I am a big hypocrite on that score.

Anyway, that is just my personal thing and should not influence you whatsoever! If they fill your wardrobe hole and will work with your clothes and the price is right and you like the look, then go for it!

I like the style of the boots. But I am reluctant to buy fake leathers. They don't stretch to accommodate your foot, although I suppose if they fit really nicely that's not an issue. How well do fake leathers last though?

Purses are such an individual taste. I personally dislike carrying anything that doesn't have several compartments, no matter how good it looks.

For the purse choices, I guess you have to ask yourself which one fits more with your wardrobe and creates a versatile addition. Which do you see yourself getting more use out of? Do you already own a lot of prints and could use the other one? Do you have only a few prints and need more? Hope this helps...

You can't go wrong with either choice as they are both great!

I like the red bag better than the patterned wool. The boots are cute, but I also try and avoid fake leather. The hobo bag looks a little big. I still think the red one is nicer.

I like the style of the boots but have to admit I'm out to lunch on the quality of "vegan" leather. They are really cute with your skinny jeans and the bow on the side is a nice detail. So I would say that if the quality of the leather is okay for you then you should go for them.

I prefer the red Fossil bag but agree with the comments about how it's a little big for you. I think you can do better - you're having great luck with Winners, I vote to keep your eyes open and snap something up that's perfect for you!

I prefer real leather myself but that may be because the only pair I tried that were not leather weren't as supple as the leather pair. I do think the color and fit on the leg is fab. I agree with Suz that bags are such a personal thing but I really like the patterned one but the bucket style bag does work really well with the boots.

I am no help at all. I like all of it.
