The Budget Fashionista

Ok so I know its a huge trend this season…but I’m just not sure that living in the midwest that I can get away with wearing over the knee boots without people thinking of the Pretty Woman movie.  Any advice or suggestions to make them a bit more wearable?

I totally agree with you!  I just don’t know how, or even if I should, try to pull this trend off.  I think it looks great on a lot of women, but I don’t know if it is a trend that suits all body types…aka, short legs…

I can’t imagine wearing them myself. They remind too much of “ladies of the evening.” I think they could work under a longer dress or skirt, but I’m wondering just how comfortable and wearable they really are. I think I’ll stick with my knee-high boots.

haha!  I kinda thought the same thing too!  But I have seen some women pull it off without looking like “ladies of the evening”.

I actually just bought the Lucky Gwen boot (love them by the way) and at first was a little leery of the look myself, but it’s fun and different and I figure they will go great with my new James denim leggings.  I’m only 5’2 but I think the look can be pulled off with all sorts of body types….just take a peak in some of the newest gossip mags and you’ll see all diff types of stars wearing them.

I often see celebrities (short or tall) wearing knee high boots. I saw Rachel Bilson wear it once (on a magazine) with a short black leather skirt and a plain top. Lisa Kudrow also wears them on FRIENDS, with a skirt and tube top and jacket combo.
