Update: Help me pick a gray belt!

Some of you might remember me whining about a sweater dress I bought that didn't fit right.  I got a wide belt, and now I like it - though this picture is pretty unflattering since I had to use the self-timer and the camera is kind of pointing upward, plus there's darkness behind me so I look waist-less.  But regardless, I think it looks good and that's not what my question is.  Which boots do you think look better, the black or the gray?  I was thinking the gray kind of broke up the all-black look a little, and I like that they're taller.  The strappy detail on the black makes them a little more casual, but they might 'go' better with the outfit, IDK.

I also have some off-white tights I could wear instead.  So help me out!

Re: Update: Help me pick a gray belt!

  • I like the gray boots, but I think if you want to wear them, the black tights are a little too much black to go with the gray.  I'd have to see the outfit with off-white to be sure, but in my head it looks good.

  • I can only see a picture of you with the black boots : /

    I really like the dress. Very cute! And belt does a great job of sinching in the waist. The strappy boots may be a bit overwhelming though.

  • I'm wearing both boots in the picture :)

    Ok, when I get home, I'm going to take more pics - all black, all gray, in both pairs of tights.  I know it's kind of hard to tell without the full look, but I had the damndest time figuring out Jeff's camera (mine doesn't have a timer...that I know of) and I kept not being in the shot.  I'll just have him take the pictures!

    Edit: I'm wearing this to a date night with Jeff this weekend, I think.

  • i like the outfit as is with the gray boots
  • I like the grey boots, but I think you need a grey belt to tie them in a bit better.  Your belt looks black???   Also, did you try solid black tights?  I can't see the poll options while I'm typing this.

    I know...I'm no use.

    No white tights.  I think make EVERYONE'S legs look heavier and lumpy.

    I like the black on black, but that's probably because I can see it right in front of me. Love those gray boots, I just feel like the grayscale needs to be tied into the outfit somewhere.

  • I like that one - I came here to post this one:

    What do you think?  I think the gray on the one you posted is a smidge darker/more brownish than my boots.  If that matters?

    Also, on this computer tinypic is always in a foreign language, it's really freaky.

  • I like that last belt too Laura.  It's not as funky as the others but it's probably more versatile.
