Those riding boots are great. If you find a pair that fits athletic calves, please please please post about them! On my lust list this year are riding boots, and all the fabrics I own that I want to sew up. I work with many women who are wearing the booties and they look great. The taller thin women seem to be able to wear them with nude hose.debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07672937937132506545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-86136249358315052432009-11-02T15:00:43.569-05:002009-11-02T15:00:43.569-05:00Shannon, you are an enabler (and good for the US e...Shannon, you are an enabler (and good for the US economy!).

I don't like the looks of the all stretch ones and they're too binding anyway.

I've become more enamored of the bootie and skirt look too, although it took me a while also.<br /><br />I love the tights from We Love Colors, they hold up well, don't lose their elastic and come in gorgeous colors.

Took me awhile to get on board with the look, too, but I'm loving it now. I have a drawer full of tights (plain opaque and patterned) that I'm pairing with the boots/booties and all of the above is being worn with an ever increasing closet full of skirts and dresses.amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12029076436322883513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405339236965946425.post-37182523246872687052009-11-01T18:34:42.844-05:002009-11-01T18:34:42.844-05:00those tights are really cute!

Where do I start?...What a bonanza of a blog entry! Where do I start?? I am sure there are Canadian boot makers who make several calf width fittings. The winter just gone I bought a pair from an Australian maker (Wittner.com.au) which also came in a wider calf fitting. I love boots, too and own many pairs, despite living in the subtropics. I wasn't sold on the booties with dresses either, until I bought a pair (mine are black patent and regular leather combo). I like the pair on the left, but I love the lace up pair even more. I'd wear them both. I adore textured tights and still have, unopened, several pairs I bought in the 80s that I'm glad I stocked up on! If you need warm legs, you might just have to make a long overcoat. I'm off to look at the Lands End website because I want that green cardigan. It's my favourite colour this week and it would go with the dress I made last week. 3/4 cardigans are perfect in airconditioning in my office.

Your post about saggy tights made me laugh. My dd is 5'3 and she complains about the same thing.
