oh i’m a sad person. i saw those and imediately thought FUN! and then i read your disapproval and started DESPERATELY trying to come up with outfit ideas that would make them work. and then it hit me, god, i really am my mother.
The Annalucia has been trying to imagine a situation in which these boots would be appropriate. So far the closest she can come is “pole dancer performing at NASCAR meet.”
They would work at a Texas Bluegrass Festival or Rodeo, other than that??? Plant geraniums in them and they become yard art in the trailer park.
Oh! FYI, unless you want shoes or accessories or you are an XXL with a waist under 30″ and hips under 40″ YOOX has nothing for you. Where did they get their sizing system?
Well, you can buy shoes and handbags–the normal fare for the big girl. I admit these are ugly, but…I kind of like them anyway. I think it’s because there are a lot of drab dressers where I work that anything with color makes me go “Golly! Color” no matter how heinous in reality.
I had a nightmare about those boots last night. I can’t remember what specifically happened, but the villain de nuit was wearing them… it was often the only thing I saw of him/her.
As I am in a costume making spree here lately (upcoming ren faires and conventions) these would be awesome for a Cowgirl Wonder Woman kind of thing. Big black cowboy hat, red beater with the WW logo, dirty wash jeans and those boots and a lasso! In actual life though yeah…no.

I’m not making that up, I promise.
