The Exception to the No-Fringe Rule?

I know we have a policy on fringe. But something about these boots is calling my name.



Ridiculously named fringe boots, $42.

They'd look pretty fine for Sunday brunch with the ladies (which I am SO looking forward to, by the way) with tucked-in jeans and this "blazer" hoodie (stop fooling yourself—it's a sweatshirt):



Element hoodie, $62.

What say you, friends, Romans, co-bloggers? Can we make an exception for these? I hope you say yes because I just bought them, scoring 15% off with coupon code LULUSROCKS. Which it does quite ably. Seize the night after three glasses of wine, I always say.
