Would this be stupid?

Hermes

I have had this dilemma myself... Most of the time I try to find a different style, but sometime things are so perfect in what you're looking for no other style in the different color will measure up. I did buy two colors in one style of boots twice this summer (also becuase they we marked down to $30/pair) the two lips boots I bought in black and brown, and the M.O.D. boots in brown and purple... I say go for it.

M.O.D. boots

two lips boots

I say go for it as well-- They are so cute!

Detroit-

Are the two lips boots comfortable? How high up do they come on the leg? Thanks =)

I think they're really comfortable. they are a little loose in the leg, but that doesn't bother me because they look great and aren't too gapy (?) and for the $30 I spent they are definitely worth it (they aren't $30 any more - this was during the summer boot markdowns) I think I have extra long calves because no matter what knee boots I buy they are all mid-calf on me. The site says they have an 11" shaft - I'm guessing that's measured from the back of the heel and up (the foot heel not the shoe heel).

No, I don't think it would be stupid at all. If you love them, there's no harm in getting both, especially since the 2 colors aren't similar at all.

Of course, this is coming from the queen of "I can't make up my mind which color to get, so I will get both (or all 3...)"

rlutz · Chanel

I say get both colors...those ar esuch cute shoes

Tati · Chanel

not stupid, get them! and can you please let us know how you end up liking them? im really interested in them too

small fry · Chanel

i saw get them and they are beautiful but of course that is me-

if i find a style i like i end up getting it in many colors

hotcocoa · Kate Spade

whenever i have bought the same thing in multiple colors i always kick myself later. one always gets worn as anticipated and the other maybe once or twice, if at all.

if it were me, i'd get the brown pair. wait. and then decide if you cannot live without the other color.

bumblebee · Coach

i like the gray/silver more than the brown, but both are really cute. i've been loving those shoes and thinking of ordering, too. i don't think it's stupid to get two colors of something you love. if you're going to be able to get a lot of wear out of them, i say go for it.

i agree- for me, it sometimes kills the "specialness" of something if i have backups or other colors. i have back-ups of some basic tees and tanks, but thats about it. i think you should buy one, see how comfy and how much you love/wear them, before buying another pair.

kenzie · Chanel

Thanks, girls. I think I'll order the brown ones and if I like them, I'll get the grey, too. Grey is just so hard to find and I really, really like this pair, so I'll probably end up with both!
