I'm sending my taupe back. Had I not owned cognac, this color would be perfect...but, it's too close to cognac. From a short distance they look identical.
The khaki are cute, but I think the camel would work better in my wardrobe.

Cognac left, taupe right. Taupe is gorgeous!

Well, my son just took my package containing taupe dickers to fed-ex drop off. They are scheduled for Dec 27 delivery, so anyone looking for a size 37 taupe- keep checking La Garconne's website.;)
I ordered camel and paid for overnight shipping.... I hope they get here before Christmas, they are one of my presents this year. :D

WOOHOO! I just received shipping notice for my camel!!!:yahoo:

I just got the dickers in taupe and anthracite! I was underwhelmed by anthra (was really expecting to love it). I think if they were a shade lighter I would keep them. I really love the taupe though. It's a great great color!

Hi Ladies,
I've been following this thread for a while now and do love all your amazing IM shoes. I finally got my first pair of Dicker Boots in October (cognac). They're my favourite shoes so I couldn't resist getting another pair in anthracite. They just arrived and I think the colour is amazing ;-)...
Please let me share my new and old Dickers...

boxermomof2 ~ Cannot wait to see your Camel!! I had a Dicker in Taupe and Dixie in Chocolate (both FW 11)... and waiting for my anthra... so I wonder if Cemel will be a easy color for pairing.


hipnycmom ~ Taupe is a MUST color IMO... I had so much fun with Taupe as it goes so well with majority of my outfits.....

I am expecting the same mileages from anthra... as I have way too many grey / black outfits!!

The taupe is GORGEOUS!
Had I not already owned cognac I would have kept taupe. The photo I posted makes the color difference look farther apart, but side by side IRL the new taupe is very close to last season's cognac. They are both brown with different undertones....but the brown is the same.
I wish they would have kept the taupe lighter like past seasons....Now I'll have to find that color in another boot.

I asked my husband and son for help choosing khaki vs camel, and they both thought the camel looked like my Ugg chesnut. That is my all time favorite color boot. :D
It's funny, I said the dickers would replace my Uggs because they look better and are equally comfortable.:smile1:

They do - I'm packing for a trip but will try to get pics. Yours will probably be here before I can do it though. I love them.

OMG, thank you! I'm so excited!!!:happydance:
I was second guessing my decision this morning. I was worried I should have chosen khaki. I did order Jenny in khaki though.;)
I will get a lot of use from camel! My everyday look is pretty much the pics above. :D

In my opinion the dickers look best in a colour that gives the suede some different shades in similar colours, so not one solid colour, if you know what i mean.

For example previous season's anthracite was lighter and had lots of different shades that made it so versatile. This season's anthracite is too dark and looks more like only one solid colour, this make it harder to match and style in my opinion. (I wonder if this made hipnycmom disappointed about hers?)

From the pictures, this season’s taupe seems to have lots of shades in the suede which is a plus, however compared to previous season’s taupe is seem to only have one colour in the shading (brown).

Owning a pair of taupe from previous season you learnt how easy the boot is to match with any colour due to the different shades in the boot (khaki, beige, grey), however given that this season’s taupe still have lots of shades I believe that the colour still will look gorgeous and be easy to match.

Based on the shading in the suede and different colour that comes up in the suede I would recommend the Camel (if similar colour to previous season Miel; shading beige, camel, brown) and the Taupe from this season.

I would not recommend the khaki nor anthracite, however this is just my opinion.

Hope everyone get happy with their buys.

Now just waiting to see the Camel. (in the mean time uploaded some more miel coloured boots)
