I know I want flats (because I know I will wear them a lot!) I just am not sure the black in #2 is black enough. Should I just order both and then decide??? Should price play much of a role here?

Which boots?
Last night we had so much fun playing fear factor, it was a riot! Lately I have had a bee in my bonnet, I MUST get some black flat boots! I found some (and ordered them) at Anthro but am having second thoughts. So, I need your help... which boots do you like better?

I voted to order both. Here's why:
ReplyDeleteI love the button detailing on the first boots, but the patent leather is awfully shiny and could be a bit much on a full knee boot. I'd really like to see those in person before I decided.
The Anthro ones are totally cute too (ruffle on a boot? Hello, brilliant!), but I imagine much pricier. If I liked the first ones in person, I'd keep those, but if I didn't I'd want to have tne Anthro ones in case they started running low in my size. Or if they have plenty in your size, order the first ones, save the Anthro shipping money unless you absolutely need to spend it, and then decide if you like the first ones.
I like the style of both of them but when I saw the Anthro ones in person, they weren't black enough for me. The ruffle is so cute though!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for flat black boots, too, because mine are falling apart, and my search so far has been fruitless! I really love the Anthropologie ones with the cute ruffle, but my friend bought them and had to return them because the calf part was just too large - they fit everywhere else, but she was just drowning in the calf section and it looked weird. I guess it just depends how they fit you. I think they are so cute that they are worth a try. I do think the second one is a bit shiny, but it depends what you want to wear with it. For a more casual look, I'd check out the ones at DSW - they have a pretty big selection and good prices.
ReplyDeleteI own #2, and they are much grayer in person. So if you wanted black, I would go for #1. I initially wanted #2 to be my black boot, was slightly disappointed they were more gray, but overall I love them, and use them as my Black boot. You can see them on me in a few shots on my blog, to gauge the color--squarepegforanthro.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI like #2 better and voted for those. But now I'm thinking you should order both and decide since things always look so different in person.
ReplyDeleteHi Doll...I love #2...I voted for 2:)

hands down #2 - I've been drooling over them ever since they came out!!! Love!
ReplyDeleteHands down #1. LOL Enjoy them! (whichever you end up with!)
ReplyDeleteI remember last year when I was looking for black boots, I ordered four pairs off websites with free shipping and sent back the three I didn't want. I would honestly just buy both and return the one you don't like....otherwise you will always be wondering about the other pair :) Personally, from the pictures I prefer the second, but like I said, I would want to see both in person before coming to a decision.

I personally love #2, but think you could easily rock either! What outfits do you have in mind for the black boots - are you on Polyvore? YOu could always play around that way, too!
ReplyDeleteI voted for #2. Mostly because the first pair are a bit "too" victorian like for my taste. I think you may get over that style at some point. The little ruffley ones are ADORABLE!!! I love those. I totally see you wearing them.
ReplyDeleteI love your style and I should mention I recently purchased the Miz Mooz Solis after seeing how great they looked on you and how many outfits they would go with. I'm with everyone else on order both and return whichever you don't like or both for that matter. On another note since I too am on a hunt for gorgeous flat boots (though I need both a black and brown pair) I spotted some gorgeous ones on the LOFT website- haven't seen them in person but I may be placing an order soon though I wanted the camel color that's now sold out- they are the Perry D ring riding boots- thought they were darling with the metal hardware done the side.
ReplyDeleteI voted for the second pair -- those ruffles are just impossible to resist and they felt like "Tricia" shoes to me. Although the price difference is significant, if you're going to wear them frequently, the difference might even out over time.
ReplyDeleteI've tried the "order both" experiment on a few items...but I have to stop doing that, because I almost always end up keeping both!
If you really want a true black boot, then I say go for number 1, but of course I like number 2 better :)
