The Blondo Pasadena boots I linked to over the weekend arrived! They are available at Nordies and on sale at Amazon.

I've attached some close-ups (pics1-3) and a full shot of me (pic 4)--giggling as my dear husband contorted his body to take the shot!

I'd love everyone's opinions: are these a good fit for a dress boot?

For others who might want to try them, I took a couple pics (5-6) with measurements. The boots fit snugly along my 13-13.5" calves, though there's a bit of a gap at the top...too much? Is the shaft is a good height for me? I wasn't quite sure how to measure the height...hope the picture (#6) is decent.

Edited to add: I bought them in a size 7, and they are TTS.

Finally, pics 7-9 are what I wore today. Do you prefer the look without the black woven belt (#7) or with (#8)? The last pic is a close up of my Spanx tights and Born heeled oxfords.
