Show Me Your Closet

Tis the season for boots. Short ones, booties, ankle-length ones, and extra tall ones! The extra talls (as I call them) are the over-the-knees type that I have been seeing for several seasons now but not brave enough to wear one.  I have never owned one, and as a fashion blogger I have never tried one on.   Bell Thigh High Boots as seen on Keep However, after reading the Keep article and seeing all the fabulous photos of some gorgeous choices of these tall legends, I'm nodding my head and saying, "Yes"  because I need an over the knees boots!
