Oh I'm so sorry to hear that! It's funny that things have become this way. Back in 2008 Coach was one of the friendliest subforums but I guess people do move around different brands and the vibe changes! I used to be a Coachie in 2008!
Frye is good. Pls stick around!
Thanks! And, oh yeah, I have already been looking at other styles...this could be dangerous to my pocketbook!
Awww....you are so sweet to say that! Thank you!!! As I said before, Now that I'm 56 it's hard to think of myself as being able to "rock" anything. LOL! You get to this age and you think, "I don't FEEL old, but my body sometimes reminds me that I am". I'm so drooling over your Carmens. That may be my next pair.

56 is not old! And as many in this thread will tell u, age is just a number, especially when we wear Frye!
Pls try the Carmens! They are awesome!
Im going to have to get those red carmen's too! They will be my Valentine's present Dang that dragonette! 
I have been naught and won 3 auctions on ebay this week
One Frye harness in Olive i have been trying to hunt down for 7 months in my size so yay!!! A Frye Campus in Bananna because, I dont have a pair of Campus and for the price it was too good to pass up a BNIB pair. The same with a Villager pair. I dont know how im going to sneak all these in

Congrats on your eBay victories!
The olive is so gorgeous on the Harness boots. Post pictures when you get them!
Looking fab as usual dragonette! And can I tell you how jealous I am that you went to a 49er game? I'm from the SF bay area and I haven't been to a game this season. Anyway, go Niners!
Thanks jailnurse93, dragonette and Collie5! I am so glad I posted pics here, now I see what you guys are saying. Glad that I get to enjoy a great quality boots by wearing them rather than keeping them in the closet. Thanks Matt for starting a great thread! dragonette love those burnt red boots you have, super hot!

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.
And above all! Whatever you wear - wear it with confidence and own it, and no one will question you!
Thanks In2themystik2 for such a thorough and great advise! I would love to see some of your pics sometime. Where have you seen people talking about dye jobs, is there a separate thread? I have FRYE billy pull on in clay, which I bought at the same time as this one on sale. Love that one and have been wearing it all the time. It is a cowboy boot, so I always wear it with girly dresses to reduce the masculinity. The look is cute etc but I can only do that look spring/fall that is only 2-3 times a season. Have been thinking about dyeing it to a darker color so that I can wear it with pants too.
Do you guys/gals think the Banana Campus Boot would look good with dark jeans (tucked in and not)? I mainly wear dark jeans. I have bought and returned these boots twice now because I thought maybe it just didn't look good. But now I am looking to you for opinions. I just love the color, reminds me of college when we all wore the Banana Campus Fryes! (MANY moons ago!) Of course, though, our jeans were tattered and bleached back then...
Sorry I don't have mod pics, but thought I would see if you could picture it.
