A-MAZ-ING first WIW! I hope you post often. I love this. Very sleek and streamlined but still textured and interesting. Congratulations on a Killer first--that's a pretty coveted honor!

Bravo, bravo!

LOVE those boots! You look terrific.

Love how you've styled the boots you look great

You have great style!!! Awesome shoes

Angela k - you look absolutely, divinely stunning!! OMG those booties are amazing. I love how you styled the whole outfit. I love the texture, the scarf, the play on black and white - almost harlequin chic for lack of a better term - interesting, rich and complex. Every element is perfect. Just fabulous!! Major kudos!!

(Applause) Love it! Welcome!

fantastic, can I ask how tall you are - you have managed to get all the proportions of each item just right. Love your hair and of course the booties are great.

OH my! Great boots and it looks like great style for you! I'm excited to see more of you!

Hello gorgeous, where have you been all my life?

You look great! I think you're styling the boots just right, and I like the way the black heel leaves your legs looking long in the black tights. I'm pretty sure Angie and a few other forum members have white boots also, so if you're looking for more styling ideas, you might try searching the archives.

Thanks again for all the compliments. You all are very kind to a newbie! I have been really enjoying everyone's posts and took my inspiration for the outfit from Angie and all of you stylish ladies. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. I look forward to posting more WIW but fear this one was beginners luck!

@Helenedith I'm around 5' 7.5 inches tall. (That half inch is important LOL!)

Your boots are awesome! I want to steal them! Love black and white with your great haircut and please continue to post away!

Wow, I love your style!

Those boots are amazing! Actually the whole outfit is awesome and love your hair!

Wowzers! Awesome outfit, and yay on your first post. A killer no less. Any chance you can direct me/us to those booties? I'm a total lemming :). Actually, lighter booties are on my list, esp as my hair heads towards your fab colour.

Found them! Can you say anything about fit?

ElizabethP I have a high arch so I had to size up to get my foot in the boot. The shaft has a zipper but it doesn't open really wide at the top. The next size up was still a little tough to get on but once I did there was plenty of room in the toe box. I ordered two sizes so I got the free shipping and then took the pair that didn't fit back to my local store. Easy peasy! I hope you love them as much as I do. I'm looking forward to seeing how you style them and stealing some of your tips!!

WOW!!! Just WOW!!

Wow, you weren't kidding about the awesome boots. And way to knock it out of the park on your first at-bat! I don't think I ranked a "killer" until I'd been here for a year or so. You look great and I can't wait to see more of your style.

Thanks for the info Angela. I looked into it, ordering to Canada is not that cheap, nor are returns that easy... so not worth the gamble to me. :(. But I do appreciate your help!

ElizabethP I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm sure you will be able to find some other awesome boots. I can't wait to see what you do with them.

BTW. I don't really understand about the ordering and shipping for Canada. Seems to be at both ends of the extreme. Either super fast ( as with BR and Suz and Sveta with the cream jeans. Everyone ordered them Tuesday and I'm still waiting on mine. I think they got theirs in Friday. Go figure!)

Angela, your disclaimer about potential perceived clutter and pose experimentation reminded me of some videos that might put things in perspective for you.

Better are the various spoofs, such as:

So mod and cute. I love it. Excellent first WIW. I love that you broke up the black and white graphic contrast with the organic print in the scarf. Lovely!

Stunningly spectacular WIW. I especially love the boots and your haircut. I look forward to many more!

You look fabulous! And you're right, those are some seriously awesome boots I used to be a regular VS shopper for streetwear and shoes. Time to re-visit the site!

AmyK ROFLOL! Too funny. I don't feel quite so bad now. But it does make one wonder, just what was she thinking?

Congrats on your first WIW, which by the way looks amazing. I would suggest searching Angie's outfits for her white footwear.

Looking forward to your future WIW's...psst it can be quite addictive. : )

Awesome! I love those booties!
