stompy boots vs brogues and skirts

I have been sitting around in this lockdown in either my pjs or yoga clothes (I do my zoom meetings in my yoga clothes so I can do yoga in between or go for walks) and haven't been inspired. When I saw Angie's blog today, I was inspired to try my boots on with my skirts/dresses. I also tried them on with my oxfords as I have discovered I can wear them with just tiny stocking socks (happy dance ) and I do like that look. I also tried tying my oversized shirts and also used a hair tie to see the effect. How did I do? I do feel a pair of lug boots would be a good addition to my wardrobe.
pic one - pleat skirt with oxfords and tied shirt (betty basics)
pic 2 - pleat skirt (thrifted- country road), navy top and red jacket ( jacqui e)
pic 3 - new midi dress with oxfords
pic 4 - midi dress with cardigan (my mum was throwing out) and boots
pic 5 - tube skirt (betty basics ) with orange shirt tied, oxfords.
pic 6 - tube skirt, orange shirt and boots
pic 7 - added the moto jacket
pic 8 - tunic dress with oxfords -
ran out of steam after that.

Absolutely love 1,2,3 and 4.
Nothing wrong with the rest, I think my color preferences are influencing my choice of favorites haha

Love the whole vibe here. Well done with knotting your tee. Yes stompy boots are in your future!

chewyspaghetti

I love all the looks with your boots. I just prefer that to the others.

I love the tube skirt with the stompy boots the best. They are all lovely looks though. YLF.

Brooklyn

Yes! I like the first skirt with the stompy boots the best. I prefer the tube skirt with the brogues. The floral skirt I like with both.

CarolS

Good looks! I especially like 2, 3 and 5,6 and 7.

rachylou

These are great! I think boots would especially be nice for #2.

slim cat

Great outfits - fav #4, 6-7, 8 but all are good !

The Cat

My favourites are #2 (I suggest a lighter top, though), #4 (best of all) and #6.

Thank you everyone for your ideas and preferences. Its great to get the feedback. I think there is a preference for stompy boots for most outfits. I must keep a look out for another pair. I like the lace up ones but think for me practically pull ons like these would be better.

All are great. I love boots especially for # 2 and #6. Knitted tee are also very nice.

Star

Pics 2,4,5,7 & 8 are my favourites. I guess some are better with boots and some with brogues. (To my eye and taste obviously.) You look lovely in orange btw.

Gail

Wow they all look great . I never wear this look as I just can't seem to pull it off not sure why but love it on others! Love #7

kkards

Yes, it does seem it takes some extra inspiration to get “dressed” when your going nowhere. But you’ve done a great job here. My favorites, are #1 &2, love that pleated skirt, and #7, that tube skirt and moto combo is fab

citygirldc

I'm loving #3 (print and colors are divine) and #7. Where did you find the #3 dress?

Bijou

These are all great and I am sure you would enjoy wearing stompy boots. As a Dr Marten lover, they make for very comfy and classic stompy boots that go the distance.

Every rendition looks good! Well done

#8 is my fave!

My favorite is the first outfit! I think I'd like the boots more if the soles were black.

Thank you everyone for your feedback and kind words.
@star I never thought I could wear orange. I suppose we need to try things to see what suits.
@ citygirldc. - the dress was from a catalogue we have here in NZ//Australia. It is mainly for buying clothes online. http://www.ezibuy.co.nz

Usually I prefer tall boots with skirts, but I like these boots. I like the oxfords, too. Really, all of them look good!

I would call this "Stompy, My Way", and you totally nailed the aesthetic, IMO. Your midi dress is fabulous! My very favorites are #6-7, because of the way the striped soles of the shoes pick up the stripes in the skirt. And the zipper contrast on the jacket is another kind of stripe, which completely satisfies a vaguely OCD part of my brain that adores symmetry.

Firecracker (Sharan)

I like them all, and I think both the brogues and the boots echo the bold, kind of chunky style of your glasses. They seem to bookend nicely.

I have a slight preference for the brogues with a little more leg showing, as in 5 and 8. Maybe it's just that I'm more used to seeing to booties with different lengths of skirts and dresses.

Tanya

All of these work well to my eye, though I have slight preference for boots, probably because I have sugar eye for them. The dress in #8 is very pretty.
