Thanks again, ladies! You are my saviors and the voice of wisdom as always.
I HAVE those Fluevogs! But in black velvet, so can only wear in wintery temps (or could I wear them year round?). Do not have the Marcies though I really wanted them. I thought they were redundant with the quilted booties, but when those die, the Marcies will hopefully still be available somewhere....
Zap, I agree - wore the burgundy boots today and felt great! I haven't worn them with dresses before but now I have seen the light!
