30.12 over knee

Hello, how are we all doing? Going mad in the sales? I'm still yet to venture in to them, though have been browsing online, sadly Christmas has depleted my funds even further than usual so I've not bought anything, but half the fun is the looking and dreaming.

Debuting my over-knee boots today, from Asos, they were a present from my parents.
It's quite strange to be wearing something so high on the leg, and I'm sure they are meant to be higher, but being tall kind of ruins the effect somewhat.

Still working on those new year resolutions, without much luck! As of today the house is a little bit quieter as brother has gone back to uni to celebrate the arrival of 2010 (scary!) with his friends.

Victoria Hart said...

I love your new boots - I have a bit of a boot fetish actually, I'm always in a pair (except for when I'm venturing out at night, then heels are necessary!).

I'm avoiding the sales, I can bear shops when they put all the clothes together so all the colours combine etc, it drives me crazy especially as they usually remove all of the really nice new season things for a few weeks to make space for the sale. Pet peeve.

such a cute outfit! I actually really like the boots with the dress. Any shorter and it might seem a little springy. The boots definitely make the ensemble seasonally appropriate.
Also I hope you have an amazing new year's!

Dream Sequins said...

Your legs are crazy thing-- I don't think the boots were meant to be so baggy ;) And being tall is a problem I wish I had!

Jade "Purple" Brown said...

i love those knee high boots!

Cafe Fashionista said...

Those boots look amazing on your legs - and I'm loving the way you've styled them! I agree, the agrrival of 2010 is a frightening thing, Laura; yet exciting all the same!! :)

Kel said...

LOVE those boots!!
Great outfit (as always!) love the print on the dress.
I haven't done any sale shopping, I was driving through Milton Keynes and saw the traffic going in...no thanks. Might have a sneaky look online though. :)
If I don't comment before Happy New Year to you.

I love your over-the-knee boots. I like how they're wide at the top, something you don't usually see.
Have a great New Years!

Cute outfit, the boots look great. I know what you mean though about being tall. Stuff always hits me in weird places and my skirts are always shorter than they're meant to be. That's why I had to learn to sew! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
