Sky high

After waiting for what felt like years, my new shoes finally arrived in Bianco. And the boots end up nowhere lower than 15cm above my knee. Overall loose black suede and a 10 cm heel. :) 

The boots are as sky high as they can get this fall. Yes they were getting there last A/W but this year they will be everywhere, if not on the streets (the Finnish are a bit slow to warm up to trends) at least on the pages of Vogue.

Just one tricky thing. My ex-boyfriend called my last fall's thigh-high boots blow job boots before he saw them on my feet. After dressing them up with a chunky long knit he approved of me wearing them somewhere else than only in my apartment. So please!! If you'll pick up the trend, do not wear the boots with anything too skimpy, bad quality nor too much make up. No mini skirts (yes to hems ending up high though) nor tight shorts accompanied with a tight skimming top. You know the look I'm after so please avoid it! By all means. Instead pair the tight boots (like my last years low heeled boots) with eg the chunky knit I was talking about or a big loose t-shirt or a cardigan. A loose enough tunic looks nice, preferably with long sleeves.  Think Missoni. As long as you think casual you'll do fine. Just leave out everything that yells "cheap". Leggings are a good choice to put underneath because they're not too thick to make your legs look big as the vertical line on the thigh makes them already look a bit bigger. Oh yeah and about the hemline, it needs to be above your knee. The coolest it will look if it is above the ending point of the boot if the top balances it out. So still no miniskirts.

Wow I think I have mentioned about the cheap look now enough many times and I truly do hope that I won't see any of that this season. So no one will be mistaken for something they're not, with no intention to diss any occupation.
