Were you perhaps thinking of the satorialist shot that floated around this forum a few weeks ago? It was of a very young Asian lass with HECTIC short docs and a pretty dress.</p> <p>Julia, I'm sure your outfit worked. You were wearing jeans and those boots work with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-boot-question-with-pix#post-41801 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:52:16 +0000 Laura 41801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, I have nothing of substance to add except to say that you are looking absolutely stunning. Congrats on the weight loss - 8-9 pounds is a lot, you shouldn't minimize your accomplishment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-boot-question-with-pix#post-41795 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:12:04 +0000 Julia 41795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, I was wondering the same thing. I have a pair of short boots similar to yours but have laces like the ones in the following picture. I paired them with flowy tunic, skinny belt and skinny jeans. I wonder if that would work?</p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=5665474" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=5665474</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-boot-question-with-pix#post-41791 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:56:00 +0000 Kyle 41791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: I do not disagree...I know something is off about this. Trouble is, I have a vision of wearing a short, "tough" boot,without much heel, with a more feminine skirt. What's the best way to make that work...or can it work? I know people wear Doc Martens with skirts, and those can be short and "tough." What's the secret, dear Angie?<br /> (I've only lost 8 or 9 pounds). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-boot-question-with-pix#post-41775 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 00:37:48 +0000 Angie 41775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have lost a lot of weight, Kyle! You are disappearing. Wow. Impressive. AND you’re blonde again. Nice! </p> <p>*spanner* I do not prefer the look of these particular ankle boots with a short skirt and tights. I feel that this look needs a heeled ankle boot/bootie and a pointier toe. As long as your leg line is, it’s not flattering. Black hose will help and so will a longer skirt, but I doubt the look to be ideal. Does that make sense, or do you disagree? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-boot-question-with-pix#post-41755 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:31:16 +0000 greenglove 41755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that they look adorable with the plaid, II don't think they would work with a plain skirt. Somehow the plaid adds something funky to the outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-boot-question-with-pix#post-41738 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:27:02 +0000 Kyle 41738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of short, comfortable motorcycle-ish boots and like the idea of pairing them with tights and a skirt. However, the boots are not fitted at the ankle, they obviously have room in that regard. I tried them with a skirt and was not sure. Would appreciate your collective wisdom about this concept. </p> <p>With a skirt:<br /> <a href="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/KKDD_2008/shortboots.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i302.photobucket.com/al.....tboots.jpg</a></p> <p>Closeup:<br /> <a href="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/KKDD_2008/bootdetail-2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i302.photobucket.com/al.....tail-2.jpg</a> </p>
