Reader Advice Time- Fall Boots Addition

My big shoe purchase this fall is going to be a pair of riding boots.  My budget is $200 or under, and I want a classic pair which I can wear with brown.  Here are the front runners-




Number Two



So which one?  I am currently leaning towards Number One, so I can wear them with black as well- can't wait for skinny jeans, a crisp white button up, and blazer (maybe one of those corduroy ones I showed y'all yesterday from L.L. Bean?), and my new riding boots.

Okay, so I do get a little excited about fall.  However, by the time it actually gets cold, I wear my new duds a couple of times, and can't be on the lake, I will be grumpy about fall and the chill.

  1. Both cute picks! I like the short heel on #2 better, and I think it's a light enough brown to wear with a casual black outfit! :)

  2. I've been shopping for boots too! I've ordered 2 pairs and both were darker than pictured, which means they don't work with black. So frustrating!

    I love #2. They're soo pretty.

  3. I think #2 are gorgeous! Beautiful color and a great low heel so they're probably comfy. And, if you wanted to, I think you could pair them with a black blazer. I think the old "rule" about mixing black and brown no longer applies. At least that's what I decided when I saw Angelina Jolie in black carrying her brown LV bag. :)

  4. My pair are dark brown and I am now looking for a lighter pair because I think they will go with more!

  5. oooh, I love them both. I'm partial to the second ones because for the past week, I can't think about anything other than BOOTS. SWEATERS. MAPLE LEAVES. PUMPKINS. BOOTS.

  6. Ohh, they are both gorgeous! I'm going to break with the crowd here and say that I like the first pair--they are just kind of different and unique.

    I feel the same way about fall! It's all well and good until I can't do anything fun and it's cold. Humph. Even if I am melting in this out of control hot summer we're having this year!

  7. While that second pair is gorgeous, the black & brown duo would work with more outfits. Can't wait until fall!
