I bought shoes kind of like this at DSW today, but not this exact style. Mine are black with offwhite stitching, and the heel is shaped differently.

They're more chunky/substantial than most shoes I get but I wanted some low-heel ones I could wear to work with skirts and black tights in the winter. And these are soooo comfy

Got these today and they are really cute! I am considering trying out the controversial boots over jeans look. All men seem to hate this look for some reason, and I don't know if I just don't have the right jeans but I can't decide if they look right or not.

LOVE the boots. Men do seem confused by it. Oh well, we dress for other women anyway!

and some stuff for the new apt that I'm too lazy to post pics of: organic cotton sheets, stand-up cheese grater, garlic press, silverware, folding collander, ramekins, knives, shower curtain and garbage pail.

DC Shopper- Love those boots. I practically live in the boots over skinny jeans look all winter. the key is to get fitted jeans that don't bunch too badly at the knees.

Xtina- What is the brand of those boots? I'm thinking of trying the whole over the knee boot thing, but anything with a heel just feels too Pretty Woman for me. Those flat ones may be just what I'm looking for.

And because my old one decided to die two days ago....

My BF hates this look too, and I don't understand why!

DC, I am soooo jealous right now doh !!!

I love those boots but my calves are a bit voluptuous for them.

fairywings · Dooney & Bourke

Xtina- where are those boots from?

gingembre1 · Kate Spade

I live in the boots over skinny jeans look pretty much all winter too. Totally agree about the jeans fitting right, it just doesn't look right if they are all bunchy. I'm surprised at how many of y'alls significant others don't like the look. It's pretty hot in my opinion and the guys down here think likewise. Oh well, who cares whether they like it or not! smile

They're Chinese Laundry. I'd read tons about how great they were and stalked them for months. I got a $20 GC and Amazon has a $20 promotion for them so they came to about $50 for me.

I am not going to wear them over the knee (not a look for me) but fold them down at knee length or let them slouch downward.

That's a great deal! I'll have to check them out. I'm only 5'4 so I'm a little afraid of them overwhelming my frame. I like the idea of having a choice to make them them slouchy though.

I have yet to meet a guy who likes the boots over jeans look! I have a pair of straight leg jeans that I thought would be skinny enough for the boots, but they bunch a bit at the knee - not too bad, but enough to make me unsure if they look right. I'm just afraid to buy skinny jeans because I'm not a stick and I'm afraid I'd look like an ice cream cone in them. Luckily the boots look cute under jeans, too, so I'll wear them that way until I get up the nerve to rock the over the jeans look.
