THANK YOU SO MUCH!
And BTW no more silly talk of you being a Thread Killer!
Or you leaving this Forum!
And Yes I think you found a Home here in this Thread!
And yes I will always wear my FRYE's Proudly everyday!
But Once Again!
THANK YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!

Well, on any other thread but this one I am a thread killer or just ignored completely. The. Coach threads are the worst. Glad I found a thread I can call "home".

Here are my new Frye Campus 14G's. I have more dressy tall riding style boots, but I needed a nice casual pair of boots to wear both under straight leg or boot cut jeans, and also to wear skinny jeans tucked into the boot. These are perfect...I LOVE them!

Those look great on you Collie5!
I am also glad you have decided to stay and make this thread your home. It is a good thread and everyone is friendly.

Hi everyone! FRYE new bee here. I bought these frye OTK campus boots in clay and they fit perfect. For sure they are exceptional quality with full grain leather. But when I wear it, I look down and can't ignore that they are quite chunky, so they have been sitting in my closet for a while. I really want them to work so bad but at the same time afraid that they will make me look even more bigger. Totally confused about weather to keep them or part with them. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Those look great, not at all chunky. I know I feel the same way about my Frye's when I look down but looking straight on they look really good. Just like yours.

Thanks greengables, you are right! they look less chunkier straight on than looking down. Matt you are so right about pairing light color boots with light color tops, you should be a designer! I tried bunch of different outfits with these boots today and finally wore the boots out. I did get couple of glances at my boots, don't know if they were good or bad.
Sorry for posting so many pics, let me which one works the best.

Hi Gubbakka!

ALL I CAN SAY IS YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!​

That is exactly what I was Talking about!
I Think you are now seeing what I was saying about pairing those boots with other than dark Clothes!
And You didi it Perfectly!
Trust me people were Glancing because they liked what they saw and it was a VERY GOOD THING INDEED!
Now as far as what Look I like Best I like them all!
But what I want you to try is the same things but with The cuffs up or OTK what this will do for you is help elongate your legs and give you a totally different look!
But My Favorite if I have to pick one is between the jean skirt and purple dress!
But Like I say I would like to see all of these withe the cuffs up!
Personally I think taking Pictures is the best way to see what looks good and what doesnt.
What it does that a mirror doesnt it lets you sit down and look over what you are seeing and look at everything to see what you like and not and also to be able to change the lighting and compare them (with or without FLASH) this way you get different views all at the same time.
And in todays Day and Age Pictures are very cheap to take!
As far as posting here in this thread I personally dont think any one here minds and Im sure they all will help you as to what looks best!
That is one of the reasons I made this thread so people could get honest opinions of what worked good with their FRYE BOOTS!
After all I just wanted a place here where we could get opinions other than what we read in the reviews from the stores.
So I totally encourage everyone here to do this a help each other!
BTW You Flatter me saying I should be a Designer!
I just Enjoy trying to help you all out!

Thanks Matt! the boot is not looking that great on me in the cuffs up position. I think I need to stretch it out a little to fit my upper calf little better. Have you ever tried stretching them a little on your own? I like the boots with the skirt and the dress too, but those are really not practical to wear here in NJ in winter at least for my age (35). They look good with the light colored jeans and stand out a lot with dark color jeans, but all my jeans are dark color except one or two.All in all I still love the boots for FRYE quality (so comfy) but honestly feel I should have bought it in a different color for it to be my go to winter boot.

I completely agree! I love all the looks but my fav is also with the jeans skirt...WONDERFUL look! I can't tell you how much I love those boots... As far as the cold weather, what about wearing some winter tights with the boots and skirt?

Does anyone own the Missy tall boots? I have been admiring them for some time now and I'm really thinking of ordering them. I don't have the opportunity to try them on first. I typically wear Loeffler Randall boots and I have what I think are normal size calves. I would really appreciate some advice on them. Thank you!

I have other replies for other people later, but just had a minute and wanted to add my two cents on your posting. I didn't get a chance to respond last night, but was going to say the same thing as Matt about balancing with lighter colors on top. I like the first three the best - I love boots with skirts and dresses and wear various combinations like that more often than pants!

I agree with the tights suggestion for winterizing looks as well, AND, that might help them slide on better with the cuffs up until they stretch a bit or if you decide to have them stretched. It's always more snug over jeans, and sometimes the interior sticks on skin a bit if you are bare legged, depending on the lining of the boot.

I think you could also still try these with darker wash jeans/denim, but maybe balance it out with lighter colors on top instead of all dark and except for the light boots. Your first look posted yesterday would look good with a saddle brown boot, or maybe something a little darker than saddle brown.

I have some lighter taupe colored boots that I wear with darker skinny jeans, but it all kind of depends on how I balance them out on the top, usually something in a lighter color scheme. Someday when I have time, I'll have to try the tripod idea or get a better mirror up and take pics like you did!

Also, if you ultimately feel that the color just isn't going to work for you, I know people here have talked about having great dye jobs done on boots. OR, if they just aren't what you want in the end, you could always try to sell on and try some other pairs. ... Or, like I do, just buy more pairs...

And above all! Whatever you wear - wear it with confidence and own it, and no one will question you! and if they do... Ignore 'em, you should be dressing for you! Have fun with it, because life is too short to not strive to be fabulous every day!

Oooh..LIKE LIKE LIKE!!! I came to this thread tonight hoping you'd have a pic of your Campus' boot posted! Thank you! Before long you will be stalking another pair of pair of Frye's! I think the favorite of all of my pairs if my Harness 12r in dark brown. They are so comfy and wrinkly and I love the color.

Triple strap Carmens!!! mmm LOVE!!

You are rocking them as usual sista!

 

[dragonette]

Thank you!
Here is a full length shot my husband took as we were walking out the door to go to lunch. Love these boots, even on an old fat lady like me.

Geez, I hate having my picture taken! (I HATE my hair ...I'm trying to be patient while I'm growing it out from a short cut that I didn't like as much as I thought I would, and I'm getting over an eye injury to my left eye which is why I have a slightly black eye. I'm a wreck! So, just focus on the nice boots... LOL!) I should have held my new Kooba Jonnie bag in front of me to hide my hips...

You are so not a wreck... You look wonderful! Seriously cannot tell you have a black eye at all and you are rocking those boots!

 

[dragonette]

THOSE LK AWESME!

Once Again Collie!!

YOU TOTALLY ROCK THOSE FRYE BOOTS!:urock:AND YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!

There is a reason I have not done any full pictures of me in this thread...I have been fighting Diabetes for the last 3 years and was making tremendous gains on it and then lost my fight with my weight again....
UGH..
I was down to 250 from 340 and now Im back up 320 but I am loosing weight again!
The FRYE Boots That I Have Bought Have been Total Motivators for me to keep walking 1 mile every evening at the Mall and beating this...
Some Day I hope to be able to post some Wonderful Pictures like you all can!
But you all totally keep me motivated to keep walking and to keep trying!

Looking fwd to "seeing" u one day Matt!
