RE: Which pair of boots should I keep? (with IRL pics)

bliss · Dooney & Bourke

The first pair without a second thought. They look great.

If you can only keep one pair, definitely #2 - they are hot! And they look better to me w/the pants tucked in. But, if you can keep both, definitely keep both. The J.Crew ones would look great w/skirts.

gypsyfreak · Coach

I think the J. Crew boots are classic and look good with almost everything. Plus, you can't beat the quality. The Bebe boots look really cute with the jeans tucked in, but if the quality is questionable I would pass on them. Therefore, my pick would be the J. Crew boots.

Lilykind · Hermes

I work in an office where the dress code is best described as "creative business casual". I could wear both shoes to work and no one would bat an eye. I really really wish I could keep both. I know that they're really very different styles. But my good girl side is thinkging that I have nearly $400 worth of boots in my possession right now and that I should really stick to my original budget for Fall, which was around $500. I can afford to keep both, but I just feel really guilty about spending money on boots when I still have some debt hanging over my head. My BF said I shouldn't keep the J. Crew ones because they're not different enough from my black Kenneth Cole kitten heeled ones. LOL

nicoley013: My jeans are by Mavi, and I bought them in the Nordstrom's BP Dept. last year for around $50. Mavi generally makes slim bootcuts and lots of straight leg styles every year. They're great jeans and hold their own against my high-end jeans wardrobe (Seven, AG, True Religon, Yanuk...etc.)

shopgirl82: Yep...totally a Stylethread tee. I wore it because it was brown and I couldn't find another t-shirt that wouldn't completely clash with the boots.

Oh God...watch me end up keeping both. I just them both so much!

wicked · Coach

I like the J.Crew ones better, I think they're more flattering.

BargainQueen · Marc Jacobs

I like pair #2

highheels · BCBG

Number 2# i like the higher heel for sure.

Lilykind · Hermes

I tried them on again tonight...the Bebe boots really don't go with most of my skirts and while I do like the stuffing my jeans into boots look, I really only have one pair of jeans where it works. So they go back...ehhh they were the more expensive pair anyway.

Again, thanks girls for all your help!

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I think both are great, but I think they have different purposes.

I always prefer pointy toe, but I think jeans tucked into boots look better with round toes.

So, #1 for skirts, #2 for jeans tucked in.

Good luck with your choice, it's a tough one!

FashionFreak · Kenneth Cole

I would keep both, the round toed ones look good with tucked in boots like others have said and the jcrew ones look good with everything else. But if you must choose get the jcrew ones.

Claudia · Gucci

Good choice. they're classic and I'm sure you'll get tons of wear out of them.
