12 Ways to Wear Over-the-Knee Boots
When it’s cold outside, one way to stay warm is by wearing over-the-knee boots. Besides covering your legs with short dresses and skirts, they also add a layer of warmth over leggings or skinny pants and even under maxi skirts and dresses. So age doesn’t matter. Any woman can enjoy them and keep her look up-to-date.
I have a pair of flat, tan, over-the-knee (OTK) boots like these:

These boots are casual and go well with skinny cords or destroyed skinny jeans or light-colored skinny jeans, as well as with plaid shirts. Other casual OTK boots are those that have flat or low heels and those that are made of suede.
Black and heeled OTK boots are more common. They tend to be considered sexy, but there are ways to wear them that make them perfectly acceptable.
No matter what kind you may have, OTK boots are great for covering your legs for warmth and modesty when wearing a short dress or skirt. They serve the same purpose over leggings or skinnies and an oversize top or tunic.

OTK boots go with: tea-length, 70’s inspired dresses; sweater dresses; short skirts or dresses; long skirts or dresses with a slit; culottes or cropped pants/jeans; skinnies and an over-sized chunky knit sweater, including open knits; leggings and a tunic or over-sized top; with a kimono jacket and skinnies/leggings; or even with shorts.
OTK boots are good for transitional weather in spring and fall as well. One example would be to wear a short dress or skirt with a slouchy cardigan or jacket with your OTK boots.

Snow Boots: Not just for shoveling snow
What a perfect day for an outfit with snow boots! It’s the first day that it really snowed here.
I bought my rubber toggle boots for shoveling snow. I chose a mid-height so that snow wouldn’t get inside my boots if the accumulation was high, as in recent years.
But the ones I found are so beautiful that I want to be able to wear them at other times as well. So here are some ways that you can wear them on weekends and around town. Continue Reading
