For some weeks now I have been obsessed with over the knee boots. I've spent countless hours scouring all my usually haunts in dark corners of the internet, tried on at least seven pairs and ploughed through my wardrobe planning future outfits. (This is not bad considering, in the past I confess I have sometimes made preliminary sketches, which I am aware is very geeky indeed.)
Finally, yesterday following the glorious day of pay, I ascended on the shops and purchased my very first pair of over the knee boots, observing the rules I had made for myself, as thigh high boots are a very risky business indeed. The over the knee boot errs on the side of trashy, at worst reminding everyone in the vicinity of Pretty Woman, and they won't be thinking of the glorious beauty of Julia Roberts, they'll just be thinking you look like a prostitute. Hence, the rules.
1. Thigh High Boots must be flat.
2. They must be a neutral colour.
3. They must not be shiny.
4. They must never be worn with a skirt. Over skinny jeans, 'neath shorts are the only acceptable pairings.
5. They must be the most extreme item of the outfit. (One doesn't want to resemble Kiss either.) Therefore I'm hoping my flat, pointed toed pale grey lovelies are more Puss In Boots than Pretty Woman.
