Boots are all about fashion these days and have been for several years. Reminds me of that Nancy Sinatra song of a few moons ago called 'These Boots Are Made For Walking,' I think. It is interesting to watch how fashion recycles/repeats itself. I am assuming that song came about when boots were the trend last time.
Boots looks very nice on some people and with some dress items. But why oh why do people abuse the use of an item just because it is available. Or at least that seems to be the reason -- the most logical one. This season ankle boots seem to be the most readily available item that I see so this must be the newest trend. So...soon to be either "rocked" or abused is the the shortest/shorter boot. Abused as in women not realizing that a short boot cuts the profile of the leg and makes it seem heavier if you are inclined to have curvy or to put it bluntly heavier legs. If one thinks they make you look like a "fashion plate,' forget that thought. It just doesn't do a thing for your chubby little leg.
Don't get me wrong. I like boots when they are worn with the correct clothing items! I wore out a bunch of majorette boots with high school band in my day. Realize that I am a thousand years old and there was a time when they were used extensively in that role. We wore those little short little band uniform skirts, too!! Cowboy boots are great with jeans and maybe with those little shorty cow girl skirts! My little nieces have some cutey pink cow girl boots they have worn as they grew and wore short little dresses with them. On little girls they are often cute.
On adult women taller boots are trickier when they are worn for style and not to plow through the snow. Plowing through the snow is a totally (altogether) different assignment for boots with which I have no argument. Bring on the boots for snow and ice!! Now those tall boots look great with longer skirts, riding skirts and or with opaque stockings and shorter skirts. However....there are some looks (with boots)...that just leave me shaking my head!! Of course, I will be the first to admit I am no boot authority --- but they do look a little strange! Anybody else have any opinions on this "boot thang!"
