I broke down and bought a pair of over the knee boots in black.
At first I thought they were going to make my legs look even shorter than they are because these don’t really have much of a heel, but I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised.
The boots I originally wanted are these but I checked my numbers and I didn’t win the lottery.
Damn!
As much deserved compensation for not winning the lottery I went and bought myself these boots at TJ Maxx.
They’ve been getting lots of wear the last few days. They are perfect for all the rain we’ve been getting. It is like wearing fancy waders. No worries about puddle splashes when your boots come up to your thighs.
I just tried to look up some images of waders for you and some really twisted photos came up. Apparently they are a fetish thing. WT…?
And not just half naked women in waders folks.
Nope.
There is a much older man that has an entire website devoted to himself and his numerous pairs of coloured waders and ahem..cough, cough… paraphernalia. I am not going to subject you to those images. I alone will suffer the nightmares.
How do you get rid of images you’d rather not have seen? Someone needs to make a “clean-out-your-brain-from-images-you-stumbled-across-online-by-accident” app. It would be full of pure, sweet images…puppies, kittens, babies giggling.
Okay…I need to take a brief break to visually scrub my brain with some some baby pugs.
Whew…okay…I’m back.
Feeling better : )
Just me and my pug. No weirdness here.
Sorry about that internet freaks.
Oh you and your pug are a sight for sore eyes! The boots are gorgeous and so’s that coat. I love your hair when it’s curly, too.
There are some scary things on the internet, I’m trying not to Google “waders”, I can just imagine what you found. xxx
Oh, the baby pug is adorable!! I’m seriously envious of people who have pets… Well, the boots look great, even better with the pug in tow.
She makes everything better : )
Love your look!! <I have similar boots and I'm very happy with them. they paired with several things! Your dog is so cute!!
I succumbed also!! Mine are from Target (oops…sorry, you don’t have those anymore, do you?—but you can still order online, right?). I actually did order my online, so I don’t have them yet—you’ll see them soon!! You look great! jodie

Nope…no more Target in Canada. I don’t often shop online since the taxes, duty and shipping are often more pricey than the actual item.
I can’t wait to see if you like yours!
your outfit is a looker, but your pug is the best!! =D heheh
xo,

I know it and she knows it! ha ha
They look cute! Very stylish boots. I confess that when OTK boots first appeared on the fashion scene, I doubted they would catch on — I didn’t think they could shed their past association with garish prostitution-wear. But I was wrong. Now ordinary women wear them. As well as extraordinary women like you.
As you discovered, the Internet has taught me the incredible range of things people find erotic. Weird, crazy stuff. Like pictures/videos of women stepping on fruit. Or adult-baby stuff. Etc.
Okay…I learn something new every day. Women stepping on fruit. Wow. That just screams sexy! {wink}
Those over the knee boots are fantastic! TJ Maxx always has some great finds. Your best accessory, however, is your adorable pug! You guys both look great!
She is a little diva.
You know how someone says, don’t think about flowers, and then you think about flowers all day? Yes, well, now I’ll be thinking about waders all evening. Hahaha. But I’ll try not to picture you wading into a stream and fishing in these divine boots. That would be a nightmare because these are awesome boots!
You look like you belong in Europe, great look! I guess if people really lived where they look like, I’d be in trouble.
Yeah…I was worried I’d direct too many people to that freaky wader website by telling them not to visit. Curiosity killed the cat and also cause a few nightmares I think.
Now “waders” is on my Google no-list, along with “mature women” and thousands of others. These boots look fantastic, and they do highlight your pug’s natural cuteness as well. See you at Vis Mon, xox

What? Mature woman too? Crap! Is NOTHING sacred anymore?
Hey toi, in a day that is filled with sadness, reading your post gave me a smile and reminded me that there is normalcy still in the world. You look so cute in your outfit and your Pug could steal the show.
Glad I could put a little smile on your face : )
Ok, I didn’t believe you, and was going to make a joke about the kind of filters and settings you had on your computer, and I searched for ‘waders’ to prove my point… and was utterly flabbergasted!!! Proved wrong. Sorry. I now too have those images in my head….
Looking gorgeous in those boots! I can’t find any over the knee boots that actually get over my knees?!
xx
Ha! I hate to say “I told you so” BUT…
I am damn jealous of your extra long gams.
Pugs work wonders! As do all sorts of dogs, cats, tigers, lions…
I start my days with Cappuccino and Cuteness every day.
When in Tokyo I went and checked out the statue of Hachiko, the dog that waited 9 years for it’s owner (who passed away). Man, I cried my eyes out while watching the movie made about that real-life story.
Okay, not a good example of the healing powers of dogs. Cute story and sweet, but oh so sad…. I prefer cute, smiles and laughs really.
And I have been thinking about some over-the-knee boots myself, after seeing them a lot on the streets of Tokyo. Am not decided yet.
Great look on you!
Yep, you can find EVERYTHING on the internet, especially when you’re not looking for it. Too bad we don’t have one of those thingy’s that they used in the film Men in Black that flashed and made you forget what you had seen in the last 10 minutes.
I think the boots look great on you and definitely don’t make your legs look short, but I would say the key is to keep the same dark colour of tights to create one long line from thigh to foot. If you had a different colour of leggings or tights on, it would break up the line. I like the dark peach coat/dress thing you’re wearing.
I agree about creating one visual line and not breaking it.
I bought this jacket/vest thing from Anthropologie in NYC about 10 years ago and it is very high quality. It is actually a lovely rust colour.
WOWZA girl, you rock those boots and they make your legs look long! The secret is wearing the same colour tights or leggings. I love my OTK boots too!

Well you have all those extra long dancer legs and look good in everything.
You uncovered my trick with the tights : )
Who needs to win the lottery when you can find those boots, well and wear them like you do. They look absolutely wonderful. I was afraid of the same thing when I purchased my grey over-the-knee boots. Surprisingly our petite frames do ok with these. Now I just need a little pug to add to mine. He’s the best!
Zoe will forgive you for calling her a “he”. : ) She is the Queen of our house no doubt.
I think my legs are a bit too fat for those kind of boots but you rock em!
You don’t need these boots when you have those extra badass gold embroidered fairy of Nirvana boots from your aunt.
gorgeous in these boots

Thank you : )
My OTK boots are black too! I just went to WHBM and purchased a couple of items to wear with them. Wish me luck!
Darlene
Oooh…you are on a slippery slope there. Buying one thing and then needing to go out and buy something else to go with it?
Been there.
Done that.
A Million times.
Your pug is sooo cute ( I mean, the tiny, wet one is too but-)!
She was so funny because she actually looked at the tripod for the photo. She knows that normally if she is a good model that she gets a treat. We should all be so lucky : )
Waders? No, let’s not talk about waders or the men who love them, let’s focus on you looking fabulous in those boots, and gorgeous pugs. Yes, that’s much better! xxx
Agreed : )
The boots are fantastic. Perfect, actually. Hehe. Endless style possibilities! Also, I love that coat dress. It’s so unique!

Your boots are a fabulous piece, versatile and cool, and love how you’ve styled them!, they’re really flattering, and love your cute reddish dress!
(Some time ago, I had a similar experience when I was looking for some rubber wellies, ugh, never thought rubber was so… weird. Now I’m pretty cautious on my web searching!)

Pugs and OTK boots, pugs and OTK boots, pugs and OTK boots.
Nope, can’t decide which I like better.
It’s a draw. Both win equally on the scale of Truly Awesome. It’s a scientific scale like the Beaufort Scale but much more reliable.
Now, where can I get me a pug and some OTK boots.

I have a pair of OKB that I bought years ago and they really are comfy. I have mainly wore them with black leggings like you did here. I love how they look with mini skirts but don’t own any.

Your OTK boots of TJ Max look just as good as the ones you needed to win the lottery for. Perhaps even better. So nothing lost there. Cute outfit.
And you already discovered that the trick is one colour to elongate your legs.
The puppy pug picture (PPP) is adorable. As is Zoe of course.
I was tempted to look up waders but I didn’t. You never know what they are going to spam you with after a visit.
