Do you know that the three years I was in the UK, a year in Japan, that would be about 5 winters I experienced, yet I have never bought myself a pair of boots? Well, okay to be fair, I did have a pair of short boots (came to just above the ankles) in the UK, but never a pair which covered the calves. So, not counted :p Since I’m pretty much here for good, I thought it was high time I got myself a good pair of boots.
Now it was not easy searching for a pair which could fit me. I have what you’d call MAN calves. I used to sprint a little when I was in secondary school, and for that reason, I built a lot of muscle in the calves. I couldn’t find a pair which could zip all the way to the calves. Gah, what a pain.
I was at Brandsmart when I finally found a pair which I could actually wear without it cutting my circulation off. This was from Wittner.
I decided to get a pair with a slight heel so that it would be comfortable walking in them. If I’m going to fork out a lot of money on a good pair of boots, they’d better BE good.
I simply love the marbled black and brown combination of colours.
Oh, and yeah, that would also be my very first pair of skinny jeans. Not because I’m skinny (puh-leease, I am so far from it), but because I finally found one which could fit the arse without it being baggy at the bottom. So yeah, even though I’m seasons and years behind on this look, I’m going to pull it off simply because I finally, FINALLY can.
So if you see me, hush about my bum, and see the boots, yeah? 😉
*whimper* I’m in lust! 😛 I’ve been wanting a pair of calf boots for EVER! Can’t find one because they all gape at the calf if they fit at the foot 🙁 I don’t care about the fact I’ll probably sweat into a puddle here or have lots of strange looks cast my way, as you can probably tell 😛
OMG!!!!!! Your boots! I love hit. Its GORGEOUS! I love the colour!
I have boots too, but those are ankle boots and not as glorious as yours. WOW!
What’s with the “baby” eh?? 😀 The boots are just SO…*speechless*…I want, but there’s no way they’d survive in the hot weather here (or me wearing them, for that matter!)
PS: Somehow the term “shagadelic” keeps popping to mind..heehee…
Do you know how absolutely SKINNY you look in that pic with the jeans tucked into the boots? WHAT man calves?!
Those are GORGEOUS. Funky enough to wear out and yet good enough to wear for work. Love the buckle detail.
Paris:
At least they gape at the calf when fitted at the foot. Before this pair, I tried on many which were 2 sizes bigger, but still couldn’t manage to zip all the way up. And this is sans jeans tucked in! It really is a pity it’s far too hot in Malaysia to wear this though. So hot :p
Constant Drama:
Thanks! I’m so digging the colour too. Actually, the husband chose the colour; I was originally looking at a plain black (just to match everything, y’know?). In the end, I’m so glad I got this instead.
Beetrice:
Tee hee hee, I don’t know. You know when people gamble at the craps table, and then they go “come on, baby needs a new pair of boots!”? Something like that 😉
Nah, these boots are shagadelic. I’ve seen those. And boy oh boy oh boy. Skinny jeans don’t cut it. Gotta be leather pants :p
Geekchic:
AWW thanks babes. Methinks I need to wait till next summer to show you what I mean by man calves. Haha, I love the buckle details too. That adds the edge to the boots. I didn’t want a “girly” pair :p
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!! I so want your boots! hahhaa I’ve owned one, the one that’s not too high 🙁 now i want the same one you have….and your calves are perfectly fine! love love love the look
Those are seriously hot looking boots! The buckle detail and the colour is absolutely gorgeous! I’m full of envy now! hehe…One more thing, you look real good in them. 🙂
Lovely! Reminds me of my first calf boots from Taiwan which one of my brothers got me when I was a teen. I actually wore them around in our hot weather here cos I wanted to show them off…hahaha…
Askmewhats:
Hehe, thankoo thankoo thankoo!
Indulgent Diva:
Aww thanks for the compliments. You haven’t seen how the jeans hug my big bum though. You might not think the look’s all the great after all.
“Lordy Lord, who’s the girl with the huge arse? Fashion faux pas!”
:p
Sesame:
Hahaha, I actually have a pair of boots which is higher than the ankles, but lower than the calves. But it was so uncomfortable I hardly wore it. I DID wear it once just to show it off though. Tee hee :p
