You are *clearly* a great comedienne.</p> <p>Rae, I'm firmly on the boot side now. I have always been there in spirit, but I feared becoming a true boot-hog. We have a very small house, and not a very big budget either. But I must own up to my true nature and be who I was meant to be, and that is a boot nut to rival even you. ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hooker-boots---short-n-stumpy-meets-long-n-leggy#post-803211 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 20:53:09 +0000 Caro in Oz 803211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun read.

Sorry but I think the word hooker, as currently used in modern culture is quite derrogatory. It's mainstream use in YLF is quite new and I'm cringing everytime I see it. Freedom of speech allows you to use it and me to complain about it:) Love this country!<br /> I'm sorry for being so blunt ....<br /> and I'm looking forward to see you joining team boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hooker-boots---short-n-stumpy-meets-long-n-leggy#post-803121 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 18:00:26 +0000 rae 803121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, poo! they look so cool on, I'm sorry they didn't work. But now you can cross over to the boot side! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hooker-boots---short-n-stumpy-meets-long-n-leggy#post-803119 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 17:56:25 +0000 Anonymous 803119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie you are so cute! What a great post to read with my coffee. Yes, I'm slow getting started today. I love you in that silhouette and how cool that some crazy cobalt hooker boots pointed you in a new style direction! Now, hie thee to thy boot shop at once! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hooker-boots---short-n-stumpy-meets-long-n-leggy#post-803116 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 17:54:33 +0000 Suz 803116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!! </p> <p>JulieJohn is joining the boot parade! </p> <p>You will look fabulous in your new boots. And if it took a pair of "hookers" to hook you in, I say it is all good. </p> <p>Can't wait to see the ones you end up buying! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hooker-boots---short-n-stumpy-meets-long-n-leggy#post-803114 Wed, 26 Dec 2012 17:51:52 +0000 JulieJohn 803114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, the "hooker" boots have arrived, but they are not for me. They don't fit right, they rub on my ankle bone, and so they have to go back. But I thought I'd post the photos for some humor, and also to illustrate an illuminating discovery...</p> <p>I like myself in boots!</p> <p>A bit of backstory: a friend runs a thrift store that carries used children's clothing. She got a huge donation of women's shoes and boots from an online shoe store, and obviously she can't use them in her thrift store.</p> <p>Now this friend doesn't know me well enough to know of my deep devotion for all things shoe and boot, and so we can perhaps forgive her for not calling me immediately to invite me to paw through this huge haul of footwear. In fact, she gave them all away to other friends and relatives. She saved several pairs for her daughter, who was coming home from college for Christmas, including one humble, unassuming little pair of cobalt, over-the-knee, faux-suede boots.</p> <p>When my friend saw me sporting a similarly colored blue faux-suede bag, she cried out, "The hooker boots! They would go great with that bag!" Well, needless to say, I wasted no time in hightailing it to her house to try them on. They don't fit, so back to the friend's daughter they will go.<br /> &lt;/backstory&gt;</p> <p>Now, to my photos: let's just say that this makes me feel very elfin, like Legolas, and in fact, I like the look! I thought my thighs would overpower such a silhouette, but I was pleased to note they don't. At least not to me, but I welcome your comments.</p> <p>My takeaway - I can buy some knee-high boots and jeggings and officially join the boot party, even if I am the latest one to arrive! I have shied away till now because I have such short, curvy legs, I thought I couldn't pull off the look. Now I feel like a doofus for waiting so long. This is a big deal for me, a perk to my body image.</p> <p>The moral of this anticlimactic and lengthy tale is that you owe it to yourself to look outside your comfort zone, yea, even unto the ends of Middle Earth. For you may find treasure in the most unlikely places! Thanks for reading! </p>
