I have a few pairs that I left at my Mum's to wear when I go home but by the time I do that I probably won't like them anymore! I suppose we should be grateful of the good weather! lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-question#post-105001 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:29:30 +0000 anne 105001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a warmer climate, and while I second those suggestions, I think wearing boots on a day that warm ( I had to convert it to celcius!) is going to be too warm.</p> <p>A few degrees cooler and you'd be fine though, bare legged and a couple more cooler degrees and boots with skinnies/boots with hose would be ok.</p> <p>Obviously it depends a lot on how your body works and if it runs hot etc, but through our Australian winter I wore black heeled knee highs once a week and brown knee high riding boots about twice a week with average maximums of about 60-70. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-question#post-105000 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:45:51 +0000 Angie 105000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice one, Louise. Good suggestions from Sandy and Khris too.</p> <p>Slouch boots are less warm because they ventilate a little better – less insulation. I would suggest those. </p> <p>But we really need our TX crew to chime in: Ana, Patience &amp; Sarah.Yooohooo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-question#post-104962 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:08:54 +0000 Louise 104962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could boots without hose work for you?

Do you like the looks of flat riding boots? Do you like the shorter slouchy boots, or the shooties that you can wear with pants or dresses and hose? Do you want the boots to be super comfy, more than dressy?<br /> I think for your first pair of boots maybe you should look through websites and see what appeals to you, and think about what you might wear them with in your wardrobe, and what kind of heel is realistic in your daily life.<br /> When I first started buying boots it was very overwhelming because I knew I needed more than one pair to cover all of the bases. I started with one pair of flat riding boots because I knew I was going to want to tuck in skinny jeans. After that I bought another pair of riding boots in a different color because I went shopping with my daughter and the shoes I had on where not working.<br /> Then I bought another pair of boots because I wanted the kind that hit lower on the calf and are slouchy. So as you can see the collection just evolved. Deciding what you are really attracted to might be a good place to start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-question#post-104926 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:33:27 +0000 chewyspaghetti 104926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could look for shorter boots- mid calf or ankle boots, rather than a full knee boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boot-question#post-104924 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:12:39 +0000 Debbie 104924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in a warmer climate and want boots. How do you make them work for you. For example it was 56 this morning but will be at least 78 this afternoon. I want some for dresses and then some for pants. </p>
