However, the jeans DO look great on you! Maybe I need to rethink this for me.

I see no saddlebags, but I see some gorgeous curves! (I have very few curves, so I am jealous of those who have them!)</p> <p>About the boots you found...I too fear that the flap at the top would further shorten your legs. As for the shaft height, if there is a way to get the exact shaft height in your size, I would do so. If you are ordering direct from a boot maker, you could e-mail them and ask for the exact info. It's so much work to order stuff and then have to return it when it doesn't work. And it is an emotional downer too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-1086698 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 00:35:03 +0000 emma3333 1086698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-469715 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 07:12:16 +0000 DragonflyJane 469715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the jeans info, I don't know why but I rarely shop at Dotty P's. 2 pairs for £25 is a bargain &amp; they really look great on you so I'll be giving them a try. Love your new boots choice, I say order them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-469193 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:18:48 +0000 tonib 469193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What does everyone think of this pair of mid calf boots? Would the turn over shorten my legs? One of the reviews for these says that these were like knee high boots on her and she was my height so although it doesn't state the shaft height I'm going to assume they would sit nicely just under my knees rather than any lower or higher.</p> <p>Shall I order them....? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-469190 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:17:50 +0000 lynne 469190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the jeans, they look great! I can empathize with your dilemma. I have short legs, too, and have yet to find the right boots to go with skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-469188 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:14:16 +0000 tonib 469188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are from Dorothy Perkins- 2 pairs for £25! I bought the blue pair shown in the photos and the same style in black, which I actually prefer.</p> <p>I had a quick look at Clarks website and I know they are really good quality but they are all a little out of my price range just before christmas! </p> <p>I'd like an interim pair that are slightly cheaper to wear while I save some money towards a really nice pair! With all the advice I have received here I know I can find a killer pair to invest in once I have the money saved </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-469176 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:01:54 +0000 nancylee 469176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in this style. The jeans are great...but I agree that the boots are a bit big around the top. It's a hassle, but finding the right fit is key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-469169 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:55:24 +0000 DragonflyJane 469169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - your jeans are a fantastic fit. Where are they from? I'm in the UK too &amp; I find Clarks boots really fab - comfy &amp; loads of different styles. If you shop online &amp; subscribe to their newsletter there's quite often a discount offer on - I think it's 25% off at the moment and their delivery/returns service is second to none. I bought a knee length black pair a few years ago and I wear them virtually every day for work from Autumn onwards &amp; they still look brand new with the occasional polish from the husband </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468770 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 02:02:21 +0000 Aida 468770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the others that you can definitely wear this look and that the jeans fit great! I also think the boots are a bit tall in the shaft, which makes them wider across the opening. Finding the perfect shaft+opening is a bit of work but is totally worth it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468754 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:32:26 +0000 tarzy 468754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the jeans! </p> <p>I've had great luck with Clarks for my large calves. I have shorter legs too, and I look for boots that are around 14" high. For us ladies with shorter legs, it's all about the proportions - but when you get it right, you'll live in this look for the cool weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468749 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 01:26:41 +0000 Fruitful 468749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look wonderful on you.</p> <p>I agree the boots are nice but not perfect for you. My calves are similar dimensions and I find boots tagged "midcalf" seem to hit nicely on me, the way tall boots are supposed to.</p> <p>Duo is great. A lot of their boots are too tall but they give measurements so you can check.</p> <p>I have actual saddlebags and a 40cm seat/hip measurement, plus short legs, and although I do wear boots with skinnies, I get the best legline by pairing them with shoes with the highest heel I'm comfortable with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468725 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:42:46 +0000 amyreh 468725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeously curvy, those jeans look amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468675 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:44:57 +0000 Angie 468675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are a wonderful fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468657 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:24:51 +0000 catgirl 468657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you checked Duo on your side of things? They sent some fab boots to me and go by calf measurement. </p> <p>No saddlebags - once you get the hang of skinnies it will become an easy go-to outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468647 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:16:32 +0000 Anonymous 468647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look on you! You can certainly rock this so keep up the boot hunt. You are lucky that the first pair of skinnies you posted got approved by the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468642 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:11:46 +0000 Ornella 468642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>toni, check this thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/attn-uk-ladies-great-offer-at-clarkes-outlet-stores" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....let-stores</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468635 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:51:48 +0000 Suz 468635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You will find your perfect pair of boots, never fear! Hoping some of the UK members will chime in here. </p> <p>FWIW, my legs are on the short side also and my calves are wider than average. I have found good luck with some of the Clarks styles and I know you can get those in the UK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468632 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:48:02 +0000 tonib 468632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Length= 13.5" and circ= 14" - if anyone could direct me that would be great! I'm looking at the zappos website now (thanks) - what an easy to use site for boots! </p> <p>I'm in the UK though so not sure I could get them shipped without costing a fortune! Plus they are all out of my price range </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468621 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:32:37 +0000 Queen Mum 468621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no, keep the jeans.. they are great. You'll find boots. Not sure what your price point is for boots, but zappos carries a ton, and you can narrow your search results based on shaft height and circumference to help weed out the ones that won't work.</p> <p>FWIW, shopping for boots is never quick and easy. It takes time to find the right ones. Don't give up.<br /> What is your measurements around your calf at the widest point, as well as the length of your calf from the floor to about an inch under your knee? Maybe someone here can point you in the right direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468615 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:26:42 +0000 tonib 468615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are new as well. I do like them but tend to agree that they are a bit too long and a bit too wide around the top. I do have short legs and have never found boots that look right.</p> <p>I can;t imagine wearing the skinny jeans without boots though so maybe I should return them as well until I find the perfect boots?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468609 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:16:17 +0000 Queen Mum 468609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in these jeans.<br /> Are the boots new? If so, I'm inclined to encourage you to keep looking. They seem a bit tall and wide in the shaft. If they are your old faithfuls, then they certainly work... don't get rid of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468608 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:15:17 +0000 Suz 468608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> <p>And by the way, I do not see "saddlebags." I see strong thighs. Be proud of them! </p> <p>Re the boots height: it looks okay, maybe on the slightly tall side. How tall are you and how long are your legs? If you are on the shorter side, you can look for boots that have a shorter shaft in future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468597 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:59:36 +0000 Ornella 468597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! A lot.</p> <p>With the jacket and scarf (you too want to be a lemming, right?), your pretty pear shape will be balanced by the top part of the outfit... but who cares anyway. I say <strong><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pearfect-outfit-it-surely-was-fun-thanks-aida-angie">Love your curves!</a></strong></p> <p>Well done for stepping out of your comfort zone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motg-first-attempt-at-skinny-jeans-and-tall-boots-keep-or-return#post-468591 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:55:20 +0000 tonib 468591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>This is the first time I have tried this combo which I have always been scared off previously. What do people think? Does it show off my saddlebags too much?</p> <p>Does the fit look right? I'm not sure the boots are the right length- when I've tried this out at home before I always think my knees look odd with the jeans tucked in- I'm just not sure my legs are long enough or the right shape for this look?</p> <p>Opinions please as I just can't give an objective opinion on myself in clothes- although hubby loves the look on me!</p> <p>(Excuse the waste bin in the background!?) </p>
