...is always a good thing if it has anything to do with shoes! Can I get an Amen, girls? Oh yeah!
Last year I decided I would purchase my first pair of tall boots. Boy, am I glad I took the plunge because I wear them ALL the time in the Winter months. I love to wear them with tights and a dress. They are comfy and most importantly, keep my legs nice and toasty during these nasty, cold winters in the Texas Panhandle.
I really took my time and used a few criteria for my search:
1.) They had to be reasonably priced (if I can't get a good deal, then what's the point, really)
2.) I chose to buy black first because I have more I can wear them with
3.) I wanted a heal, but NOT stiletto or chunky...somewhere between the two
4.) I wanted a less pointy toe
5.) they had to be of decent quality so I wouldn't be buying a new pair to replace them the next year.

I searched and searched and found these, which I've LOVED.
They fit perfectly, are surprisingly comfortable, and I got them for LESS THAN $50!!! WOO HOO.
So, for the past year, I've really wanted to add a brown pair to my shoe repertoire. I went back to JCPenney.com, and guess what? They have the SAME boot I bought last year, in BROWN! So, of course, you know what I did. Yep. They're on their way to me.

Merry Christmas!
Love: Me
UPDATE: I found another pair of brown that are beautiful, so I just HAD to order them, too. They met all of my criteria and I will just return the ones I like the least.
What do you think? Which do you like better?
I think that your taste in boots is almost exactly like mine! I initially felt the same way about pointy toes, but after finding a great pair at a great price last year, I've accepted them. I admit that I'm not the dress type, but I love them under jeans (or slacks at work).
ReplyDeletehorray for tall boots!!! i hadn't bought new boots since 2004 until this fall! i love both of your pics---but in love with that last pair of browns! good choice!!! merry christmas to YOU, hot stuff! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I haven't been brave enough to sport any tall boots!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted about these boots. I have been looking for some new tall boots, and I am going to buy both colors tonight!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am in love with tall boots, and have now gotten a great pair to wear over my jeans that look a bit like the 2nd brown pair here (of which get my vote - i like the round toe on them).
ReplyDeleteI also got a pair of slouchy flat suede boots, that are so fun and casual!
Go boots!
I love the 2nd pair! The first is adorable in black, but the 2nd in brown are awesome...but you might have to try them on to be sure. I bought some slouchy, flat suede boots in black that I love (Will, not so much) but I can't find jeans to wear them with - I'm on the hunt for some straight leg, cute jeans that are NOT skinny jeans...might have to shop in Dallas!
ReplyDeleteI like the brown second pair but not 'pointier' than that.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for the second pair based on looks alone, but they look like they may have a little bit of a higher heal than the other pair, so I would check that our first. Can't wait to see y'all soon!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas

I like my wife's boots...
ReplyDeleteYou may have inspired me! I've been looking for a pair of brown but didn't want to pay a hundred buckaroos for them. Are the 2nd brown ones from JCP too?
