I love boots thread!

[arivecchi]

SK, you kill me with your uber cool outfits! Love all of them!

Goldenpig, I only wear knee high boots with dressier short skirts and dresses. The proportions seem off to me otherwise. With your outfits, I also like the knee high black boot because it makes the outfit seem classier and more pulled together.

I do have a pair of calf-length tan Marc Jacobs boots that look awesome over dark tights so I do wear those to work sometimes with a drak grey or black outfit and they look nice. So I would perhps wear the shorter red boots with black tights and a black outfit so the boots really pop without clashing with the rest of the outfit.

thanks twinfoxes and arivecchi!

a, can you repost your boots? i totally missed that thread.

goldenpig, i love short boots with dresses and skirts and wear that look often, but i think with this particular outfit it looks more pulled together with the tall boots. very classy!

I clearly need more boots.


Here I am in one of my few pairs (Frye Dorado)

And scriptkitten, I love your cool outfits too.

I have severe boot-envy due to ginormous calves.

I've seen many a tall boot that simply will NOT zip up my calf, typically resulting in a LOT of tears and cussing.

And an increased longing for a decent boot.

I am currently envying the following from DUO:

Unfortunately, I don't have the $$ to spend on them right now. (The 1st pair is $300 plus $20 shipping; the 2nd pair is $235 before shipping. )

I love boots too. I have some tall black born ones (motorcycle style...kind of), black Costco ugg knockoffs, brown baretrapp ellery, and some brown cowboy-ish ones from target (the ones eveyone was talking about last year.). Love everyone's fashion sense. I totally need a style makeover.

Love the Frye boots, elektra. Love all your outfits too, arivecchi. And scriptkitten, love the funky combos, you make it look so hip and effortless. Where did you get that frilly top that you wore with the Sam Edelman booties? And are you wearing it with jeans or leggings?

Unfortunately I think the Aquatalia boots are going back to Amazon. I think I much prefer knee high boots to ankle boots (I think you guys are right, the ankle boots look funny on me), so I may look into getting the Vavooms instead (but do you think they are too slutty looking though?).

I clearly have a lot of work to do on my wardrobe! I just went through my closet and I have zero scarves and zero belts (I used to have one, but had to donate it because it won't fit around my waist anymore ) And I need to get some skinny jeans and leggings so I can wear my boots over my pants because it just looks better that way (you rock that look, arivecchi!). The last time I wore leggings was when they were popular in the 80's and they had elastic waists, tapered legs and stirrups so I am in dire need of fashion help. Where should I look for skinny jeans and leggings (any particular stores/brands?), and what things should I look for when buying them?

A, omg I want those riding boots!!!!!!!! Who makes those???

Goldenpig, that top is h&m! I love it. I'm also wearing j brand jeans that are so tight I can only tolerate them on date nights!

I've got a lot of boots/booties too. I love boots, but I'm also cheap, so I don't usually buy uber expensive ones...just cute ones.

-tan uggs
-pink uggs
-black and grey rainboots
-brown flat riding boots-frye
-black suede flat knee high boots-I think Aerosoles or something like that
-Tan high heeled knee high boots-Nine West

I feel like I'm missing some. I need to go upstairs and look but I'm too lazy. I'm going off memory.

I'm really jonesing for a pair of black leather knee high riding boots under $200. Any suggestions?
