Should I Splurge For These Boots...
Permalink Closed

 


i think i want some black boots similar to the kors beaverton boots i have since i wear the beaverton's a ton. 


can i justify the $330 price tag since i wear live in chicago and i practically live in boots in the winter?  i love the height and the style.  recently even my bf commented that the boots were such a good investment for me. 


here's the boots i'm thinking about getting:



here's the boots on jolie (i think they're the same ones)...



 


here's another cute pic..and i'm not even Team Jolie :



to get an idea, here's a typical outfit for me:


style #1078319 available sizes: 4 6 8  Kooba Sienna in Cognac


 


 


 


so, i *think* i can make the coat work without the black boots (i've been wearing an outfit similar to this a lot...so maybe i have been a fashion victim this whole time )...but i think that given the wear that i've bestowed on the boots, i should get the black ones because who knows if i will find some i like next year....ya know?


what do you ladies think?  black boots?  i've tried to find less expensive alternatives, but i don't love any the way i loved the kors.  i need honest opinions...

i think they are splurge worthy for you; just because you live in chicago and it seems to snow there from october till may.

I think it looks very stylish, but is that suede on the toe-area? I bet that would get wrecked easily in the snow and show it because it's black.

I saw those pictures of Angelina last night and noticed the boots.  I like them!  I wonder how the suede will hold up though with snow, and salt?

I think you should. You live in Chicago and you need warm boots. You may as well look cute doing it, right?

You've convinced me.  And you sound like you really love them.  Plus, you already know you will wear them tons so...GO FOR IT!

As a fellow Chicago girl, I think you should get these- they're very cute, they seem warm, and with our weather, you'll probably be wearing them until May!

As your other fellow Chicagoan I say a definite Yes! You always need more than one snow boot here and those are really cute.

FashionPrincess has some that are similar, but cheaper.  They are super cute too!  I think she has them on in the pics under the travel section.

Yes get them, especially if you will wear them a lot. I usually spend more on things that will be used a lot. Also, that would be a cute outfit.

As yet another fellow Chicago girl - I say get them.  It's so cold and snowy here for so long, you'll get a lot of use out of them.  They are really cute and good quality, so they'll last you a while too.

I say definitely get them...I think they would go with your style and black goes with a brown coat...I also live in chicago and I wear boots all winter long...

thanks ladies.  i will have to wait to get them after christmas or for my birthday in january.   although since i have to be in chicago for christmas due to work...i have been known to order $300 boots on christmas eve before (that's when i ordered my kors ). 


i think for me they are a good investment, i was just worried about getting sick of wedge heel boots by next year, but i don't think i will.  i these boots.
