I can't help it. I just find tall leather boots really pretentious. Maybe since you're in Canada, you can get a way with it more. I grew up in the tundra as well, and we wore boots TO KEEP OUR FEET DRY AND WARM.

Well, now I live in California and they are all over the place. We're talking hottie totties wearing thigh high boots in LOS ANGELES!!!

OK I know they're a fashion statement. But when fashion value moves that far away from use value, it strikes me as ridiculous.

I mean, Bjork can wear a swan around her neck because she's an artist. But thigh high boots in L.A.?

Tall boots are huge here in the fall/winter.

I have some vertical striped thigh high stockings which always give me a thrill to wear.

I don't know why the boots bug me so much.

I think it's the hottie totties that actually bug you.

I really want the high socks...but they haven't come into stores yet....its too early.

LOL that's just a name I made up

I don't know, it feels like they're trying too hard, and conformist. VANITY! Just not my style, I guess. Take the money you spent on those outrageously expensive boots and give it to charity!

JustErin said:

I really want a leopard print scarf:

Over the knee socks:

Thigh high boots:

wedge booties:

And so much more....

What are your fall must haves?

I love all these outfits

I think it's the expense that irritates me. Seems extravagant. I just shop at thrift stores.

I'll stop ranting now.

I understand that. Just because I love these outfits doesn't mean I am willing to spend much money on them.

heartbeatocean said:

It's ok.

The only time I will spend a lot of money on an item is if I can't find a cheaper version or it doesn't go on sale. I'm actually an amazing bargain hunter. I bought my last pair of designer shoes at 80% off.

If I see something that is trendy and I like it, I'll buy it - I don't care that it's trendy just as if it's 2 or 3 or 20 seasons behind, I don't give a fuck, I'll wear it now...I just like what I like.

What is pretentious to me is people who have to have what is in this second, oh and it must be high end designer and they wouldn't be caught dead wearing anything that was from last season.

Those are the fashion idiots to me.

So I love these boots. Gucci spring 2010, retail $1,550:

So instead of buying those, I found these, for $169:

Yeah, that's the same kind of vibe that irritates me too. Expense in order to conform to some mindless style purveyed by some multi-national corporation. Usually it ends up looking super boring too.

Now those are more my style. Although I'd probably be blushing if I were wearing them.

When I finally get the results I want from working out, I will (my face is too full )

Boots are sexy, but my current obsession is for clogs

I'm looking forward to wearing boots again.

Boots and sweaters and jackets.

And scarves.

I've got over the knee socks, but my legs are too leggy to wear anything short enough to show them off.

Isn't that projecting a bit much? Who's to say that with outrageously expensive boots and the people who buy them, that they don't already donate money to the charities or causes of their choice? Seems like an unfair presumption, on top of the idea that every fashion piece is not for everybody, and people should be free to wear what makes them happy.

screwed up new org edit

Ya Ya fuckin great.

This fall I will be sporting:

Old lady bras for my triple E's.

Jogging pants.

T shirts.

and Flip Flops.

Oh, and a ratty pony tail.

Holla!

Yes!

I have bought these so far:

I found a Tahari brown tweed suit with asymmetrical buttons that I really, really, want.

I was with my sister in the mall yesterday and dropped MAJOR birthday hints...
