Purple patchwork boots?

annagybe

Well I guess they are more mulberry on my screen?
I tend to stick to neutrals in my footwear. But I keep visiting these ankle boots.

I really like the purple patchwork ones. Yes, you stick to neutrals, so a few pairs in colors would be something unique. And the purple is more of a muted deep rich purple than bright purple.

I am having a hard time remembering what these would go with in your closet. Can you find at least three outfits they would match?

My only other concern is the heel height. These are pretty high heeled, but you may be just fine in heels of that height.

I like the purple. I see it as more in keeping with the direction you've been going in. I can see them with things I know you have.

The patchwork shows up so much better on the purple than the black - at least on my screen.

I have total sugar eye for this shade of purple, especially in leather. I think it goes with everything.

I think the color and style are great but wonder about heel height for versatility; though the chunky style may help there and some boots are just comfortable anyway. How does the height work for your occasions? I would want to wear these a lot , as a rich color that works well with all sorts of neutrals-jeans, skirts- so would not want to have to keep only for special occasions

The purple are soooooooooo cool. IMO they fit your image and it isn't a bad idea adding a bit of color to your footwear collection. However.... is the heel too high? I know you have been going with a lower heel lately.

OMG how do you find these things? They are INCREDIBLE. I like the purple ones better, just because the patchwork shows up better, and that's their major feature.

I like these ones a lot better than your blue denim ones. I like both the black and the purple, but I think the purple is more a standout and more special.

These are really cool, but I wonder if you've already got the patchwork thing covered with your blue denim ones. I actually like these better than the denim ones, but they do have such a similar vibe, I can't help but play a little devil's advocate.

I thought the same as Janet. Although the gold studded ones in the thumbnails drew my eye...

I should point out I own Isabel Marant Dickers in smooth black leather and taupe suede and also Isabel Marant wedge sneakers in gold and black. So clearly I have no issue duplicating footwear.
But maybe I should save my footwear $$$ for these
