These (knee high) Boots were made for walking

January 24, 2010 Paris B 22 Comments

These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do
one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
~ Nancy Sinatra “These Boots Were Made for Walking”

Want fulfilled!

I’ve finally thrown caution and good rational sense out the window; and decided to go with my heart. I got my first pair of knee high boots in Hong Kong recently! 😀

  • Save

Previously, I’d found 3 pairs of very affordable leather boots by Anne Klein, Cole Haan and Esprit respectively but each time, I ran up against the voice of reason : “Where will you wear it to? How can you wear it in hot tropical Malaysia?”

This time, I decided that it was now or never and hunted down a pair in Hong Kong. Fortunately it was winter in Hong Kong so knee high boots abound in varying prices. Honestly, if you are looking for a good pair of knee high boots or any boots for that matter in any height or material, Hong Kong is an awesome place to look. Prices vary depending on quality and make and you can get them quite affordably priced.

Mine came from Le Saunda – a local Hong Kong shoe chain I believe. There is a 2 inch broad heel and the boots come up to just under my knees without looking too baggy – another problem I used to run into. The top part of the boot is of soft leather and slightly slouchy and ruched so its easy to walk in without looking or feeling stiff-legged. Despite the height, I tramped all over Hong Kong for a full day in it and my legs did not die on me! Score!

I wore it with a dress and tights (as in the pic above) and with skinny jeans tucked in the next day – fun! 😀

Here’s a tip when buying boots

If you will be wearing them in cold weather, size up half a size or 1 size so you can wear them with socks. It makes it more comfortable to walk in if you are walking far and it also keeps your feet warmer. You will also find it easier to tuck your jeans in the top if you size up.

My boots cost something like HKD1,200 on sale. Expensive even by my standards but once I put them on, I couldn’t take them off so I just had to have it 😀 Like I said, you can easily get cheaper options but I went for the one I liked that fit me and made me look good 🙂

Now I need to start holidaying in cooler climates so I can pull out my lovely knee high boots again! I’d melt into nothing here in Malaysia though … unless regular trips to Cameron Highlands or Genting Highlands is an excuse 😉 What say you?

      Actually, boots of any sort are hell in our climate LOL… but if you work in an airconditioned office its easier to pull it off 😉

    If I have short leg, am I suitable to wear boots as well?

      Why not? If you wear them with pants or jeans they are tucked under your pant leg so it doesn’t show and it can elongate your legs too. 🙂

      Try the next time you’re in HK? I saw loads of girls wearing them so I guess its easier to find it there where there’s a demand 🙂

    FINALLY!!! I finally get to see ’em in action! They are fantastic! And I don’t think they’re too high at all. I love boots. As Tine has said, come by in fall and we’ll go gallivanting in our boots. Yep, skinny jeans tucked in boots, my favourite casual-chic look 🙂

      Incidentally I found skinny jeans that a) did not make me look fat and b) fit me so well without turning me blue in the face and c) were cheap. Damn I should have bought more!

    Those boots really do look gorgeous and I always think its worth spending a few pennies on a good pair of good quality boots. Those ones look really comfy too.

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
