I am generally not shy about asking someone to tell me about something they are wearing that I admire. Not an outright, “Where did those boots come from and how much did they cost?” but something more like, “Great boots! Can I ask what brand they are?”
Sometimes, though, the situation really doesn’t lend itself to that and I am left going home and driving myself crazy with Google and vague search terms. It occurs to me that there must be a better way to do these searches, but sometimes the issue is that I’m not familiar with specific terms that would be helpful. Are there sites or methods that I should try?
An example is, not surprisingly, a pair of boots that I saw someone wearing the other day. I know what I’m looking for, but I don’t know how to describe it to Google, and typing in “brown suede ankle boots” only gets me so far. I need to know things like, is there a term for the uneven front and back shaft shown here as opposed to the all-one-height shaft shown here? Where could I get such information?
How do the fashionistas do their online searches?
