I bought a pair of boots this past December which look almost like this, but to the knee:
I already had a pair of brown, mid-calf boots, like these without the stitching:
I put them together with a pair of modern fit, black brushed cotton (with a tiny bit of spandex- 3%) cropped pants with a three inch side vent, a cropped, long- sleeved, extended cuff, charcoal cowl-neck sweater for a look similar to this:
When I wore this to church, I could see the people glancing at the cropped pants and the boots, and I know they thought I was either just weird, or hadn't taken notice of the length of my pants before I put them on.
Sigh....southern UT- the haute couture hot-spot.
P.S. While looking for an image of my boots, I found these:
With a pair of worn 501's and a white t-shirt- perfect :D

When I arrived home, he had taken every pair of my shoes and neatly lined them up in the living room. It was soooo funny! I now try to give away a pair of shoes for every new pair that I purchase. I am weaning it down.
Awwww (kicking feet at mock dirt), thanks, Ann :D What size do you wear?
Posted by: Rae at February 13, 2005 10:07 PMWOW I love Boots!!! The second pair are my favorite I think.... The first ones are great too, but then again the last pair have that southern flare to them... UMMM okay they are all cute!!
Posted by: sally at February 14, 2005 12:13 PMI like your style, but I'm a northeasterner. I had just seen that boot-cropped-pant look in a magazine. It isn't a fashion faux-pas if the pants overlap the boots(said the article).
Posted by: Joyella at February 14, 2005 09:11 PMMy guess is that you have 10 pairs of boots that are similar, but just "different enough".
If my assumption is incorrect, will you marry me?
Posted by: Joe at February 15, 2005 05:15 AMThe pants were long enough to just overlap the top of the boots- so I had that covered. Funny, Joyella, "our friend's" cousin is a buyer for a major department store. I told him that I didn't quite like UGG boots and preferred my stilettos. He told me that Ugg's were hot like three years ago, and to stick with the stilettos. Not that I have to be high fashion; I just thought it was funny that he thought it would matter to me when I was just commenting on how I didn't like the cavegirl look (very prevalent here).
Hey, Joe! How are ya? Well, I have only four pair of boots (2 heeled and 2 not)- and if I had my way, the bottom pair would soon be added. However, I do wear them frequently. I don't like to buy something just to wear it once or twice, so your assumption is incorrect; however, I am already head-over-heels-in-love and married, but I know you were jesting :D

In the fall I may need your expertise in fashion again. I plan on being a size 10 or smaller and I'll need new clothes. May have to come to Vegas and spend a night or two....
So you're saying that when we meet in RL (I'm aiming for April BTW) I should dress for the occasion?
Posted by: Ith at February 15, 2005 01:48 PMRae- I wear a size 7. In the words of your mother, I am "very petite." Which just means, I'm short!
