I´ve expressed my love for over the knee boots before, where the below collage is from. Even though they might not be that big a thing anymore, it´s one of those things I´ve wanted for years, and that I knew I had to get my hands on sometime. They´re the most dramatic boots I can imagine. I saw a girl wearing a black pair a few weeks ago. The outfit was super simple, but the boots made it a head turner. I´ve looked for these kind of boots secondhand, but they are often flats something that just don´t work for me. Flat boots always make me feel like I have the most enormous feet. I wanted them to have heels, but not too high, or else they´d immediately have a more slutty look to them that would have to be played down.

I gave up finding them secondhand, but as so often, eBay became the solution and I got the dark grey Kurt Geiger boots below. It was kind of scary to leave that much money behind online, cause even though they were cheap, leather boots cost a bit. And when you don´t get to try them on, it can easily end up being a big mistake. I knew I had good shoe carma today though as I had delivered three pairs of shoes to to the local shoe repairman that I picked up just before picking up the OTK boots. Fixing old shoes, or getting rid of shoes you don´t wear, is the best way to get new great shoes in your life. Believe me.

I can´t wait for the leather to soften up a bit and they´ll be even better.
