Just got feet, don't got SHOES

no, i can't afford them right now and i don't think i could really come up with an outfit where it wouldn't scream LOOK AT MY SHOES LOOK AT MY SHOES LOOK AT MY SHOES because everything i wear is so basic

i think those shoes are for like japanese dudes who are wearing like grey tie dye cargo shorts with a purple polo shirt, beaded necklace and bucket hat. that would be cute. but i don't dress like that.

who knows, maybe someday.

like come on, this looks dumb

Love!

i don't like the s-shaped stitch along the quarter - wouldn't mind if it wasn't a contrast stitch - but otherwise they look pretty good. the sole looks quality.

a handsome looking shoe!

Oh god want, COVET, these:

whoa

They're Fryes.

awesome

They're $300+. ;____;

oh Fryespaws

they break my heart every year with boots I would kill for that I can never afford

god they are bangin

Fuck yeah they are.

I have motorcycle boots with a low Cuban heel but they're a little too cash for some things. Then I have tight, high-heeled Italian booties that are for dress-up, but I can't wear them all day and walk around much. This new Frye pair are the perfect mid-point while also being BAD-ASS and I want them.

the leather looks really soft too

oh god yeah I covet

I just got some moccasins. I'm assuming I can make them work somehow but I'm a little nervous. Excited but unsure how to style them.

Ans: Don't.

what kind of skirt would work with those frye boots? I wear mostly pencil and other tight skirts (+ tights in winter) and I could never come up with a suitable (IMO) look to go with my similar height boots. I am a knee high or ankle low girl. as a result I only wear them under pants, which seems like a waste :( something about the way they weren't close against my leg made them feel weird with skirts & tights but I might just be neurotic about style (no I know I am: all my Grandma's rules still torment me, and even SHE is over them). I want to wear that type with a skirt! I just don't know what skirt it is.

I got these boots which are supposed to be above the knee but they only come up to just under my knee, heh. ah well.

not leather, but shoe shopping has been so hopeless lately I'm happy to just find a damn boot. the only wearable pair I owned had a kitten heel - not terrible, but I find all heels so uncomfortable lately /old lady

I plan on wearing them w really tapered jeans, normal length and also maybe my ankle ones. I don't have any other kind of jeans. Skirts would have to be pretty short on me to balance out an ankle boot so I would say, short stretchy ones with really heavy tights.

ah, this all makes sense. I don't really wear jeans but those are good options! I will wish a $300 frye's gift card* windfall on you!

*so that you cannot justify using the money to pay any bills/savings/etc!

Awww, haha. Thank you. I definitely don't have the money, but maybe I should actually file for my tax return....

wow, rude

I like the 'folding up narrow leg jeans to just above the boot' look... though the one time I did it I realized half way through the day that Bruce Springsteen did it and then I felt v conflicted lol. I mean, I love him...but I don't want to dress like him!

It's really only AGL on people with extremely thin legs but I tend to think that's true of tight/skinny jeans in general. They're just not flattering on most people.

Hm, I think there's a sweet spot for them and most people don't try enough styles to find their best length and taper, but maybe it just goes with my look/schtick.

most people don't try enough styles to find their best length and taper

That might be true. I definitely think they're one of the harder styles to wear so that getting a really good fit would be important and most people probably don't have the time/inclination to do that and just wind up with badly fitting jeans. I've definitely never found any that flatter me but I also get impatient and give up easily when it comes to trying on clothes.

My legs are so much thinner than my beer belly. I need Gap to come up with an alcoholic edition to their Lean & Long line. Le sigh.

I wear jeans all the time. I find that a slight bootleg is the most flattering for me because of my big ole booty, and a high waist gives me a good shape. I have to go with fairly fitted jeans though...anything too baggy and they just look kinda bad

i have moccassins and i love them! viva minnetonka! they're like little slippers. i wear them with casual clothes or when i am feeling like being very comfortable.

I almost bought a pair of purple Minnetonka moccasins from the Saks outlet last year...god they were lovely

Yeah I don't think much styling is needed? Just kinda casual! easy breezy beautiful moccasin girl

Yeah, they're Minnetonkas. Pretty excited about them tbh.

Just wear them with whatever! Mine are grey with little beaded bird.

what color did you get, enbb?

brown with little beaded bird but almost got grey

bearded birds!!

i need a pair of comfortable, YET GLAMOROUS high heels for my Vegas trip in November. Anyone got any ideas!?

I'm sure these are very comfortable, you should get them

Have you tried any of the Cole Haan heels, carl? Since he did that whole nike thing I've heard p good things from my heel-wearing friends about how comfortable they are

though they're pretty $$$

High-heeled boots and shoes with laces or straps are like 300% more wearable ime than pumps or open shoes.

yep, I have found the most comfortable heels i have are usually t-straps or mary janes

Holy whoa I scored the sweetest puppies from my thrift store for like $5

my coworker is wearing (something very similar to) these today

she can't walk in them
she can barely stand in them

from a distance it looks like she has cinderblocks tied to her feet

Someone needs to tell her it is too late in the year for that shit. Cork is out after Steptember, girl.
