I *need* some booties. OK well it's more of a really strong want, but still.

Currently my top two are the Greer Wedge boots

and the Bellamy leather
http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/booties/PRDOVR~48926/48926.jsp

Does anyone have experience with either? The Greers are 1/4" higher, but they're a wedge...the Bellamys are leather which would probably be more practical for me (will mainly be used in England) but the heel is a bit thin, and no platform, so for some reason I'm worried about comfort.

Last winter I got the Suede Flannerys http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/booties/PRDOVR~31028/31028.jsp and they tore up my feet. So I'm a little gunshy this time around.

Anyone?

Love my Tanos - I have a feeling the Flannery tore up many a people's feet! Hence the reason they are still available in just about every size.

I saw an SA with the wedges on today, they looked really cute on and she said they were pretty comfortable. I've got a pair of booties from a few seasons ago similar to the Bellamy and I still wear them - the leather is TDF. So, I believe you won't go wrong with either pair.

Thanks, girl. I was soo disappointed in the Flannery...I actually have scars from the blisters. Boo!

I'm leaning towards the Bellamys just bc I think leather would be simpler to deal with, and the wedges might look dated before I wanted to retire them...argh. Darn you J Crew!!

*sighs* My no 2 wool pencil skirt in jazzy purple has been waitlisted forever! I wonder if I'm ever going to get it :( It was supposed to ship middle of September when I first ordered, but a week after the status changed to "waitlisted". So disappointing.

Just got the No. 2 pencil skirt in spicy gold and it is to DIE for. J.Crew has always run a bit big for me, even the petite sizes but it fits me PERFECTLY. Thanks, DC for your SA's contact info. Megan, I was also waitlisted and did not expect mine to ship until the 19th but it shipped out on Tuesday and it's very worth the wait ;)

I just got confirmation that mine is shipping out too! Actually, I got an email saying my credit card was declined....I forgot that since I placed the order I've moved and still had my old billing address on file. I can't wait to get it! Although it may be a month or two before it's cold enough to wear.

HELP! I got some desert boot this weekend (went with the Clark's instead of J.Crew's MacAllister because the shape was better), but what to wear them with? I'm posting this here instead of in a new thread because my entire wardrobe is pretty much J.Crew.

I can't decide if I want to keep them. My brother said I look like a tomboy with them, but DH loves them. I think they are really cool but maybe not my style?

Sometimes our best fashion moments happen when we go outside our style.

1. Wear them with skinnies - although that one was obvious. Either have a slouchy sock showing at the top or roll your skinnies up a little. The boots would also be fun with the Waverly Chino rolled up.

2. Wear them with bootcut jeans - that will definitely be a tomboy look.

3. I would wear them with slouchy socks, leggings, and a big cardigan like the Infinity over it. That's a fun weekend look.

4. They might look really cool with a fuller skirt and sweatshirt look - like the look on J.Crew's homepage today.

That's all I've got - I defer to DC for real styling ideas - she's the Queen of J.Crew styling! :smile1:
