Indeed, those are AWESOME! I have long wanted a wonderful pair of tall boots and some knee-length skirts to go with them--the Mr has given me some weird looks for professing such a want, but I really do need to go try on some pairs of tall boots.
That is nice, and she's right, you know. Just because you haven't had these kinds of clothes, doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't. It's amazing what a boost this kind of thing can be.
So what if you were a casual dresser before? Kiddo, you gotta start somewhere! Take it from someone who knows -- I used to be a very casual dresser (I lived in a city on the West Coast where wearing lipstick was considered overly fancy), but when I moved away, I thought "What the hell!"
ETA: I just recently bought these ones. (http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/In+a+Snap+Boots) ()
Catwoman boots! I've always wanted to dress with long skirts and high boots. Short women aren't supposed to wear long skirts but who cares? Unfortunately I was born with mildly deformed feet and have trouble finding comfortable footware, and find sexy heels impossible to wear.
This short woman wears long skirts, and by "long" I mean down to the ankle. I can't do that weird in-between thing. It's either got to be at or just above the knee, or full-length. None of that mid-calf foolishness.
I've never worn boots like that, so I don't know if they'd fit me. But I've been inspired by you and others on my f-list to go to the mall and find out.

Date: 2010-02-28 04:16 pm (UTC)I love them. Sadly, I seem to have much thicker than average calf muscles: I can never get boots like these to zip up. :-(
