Mossimo Faux Leather Knee-High Boots, $35

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 14:00:00 +0000

This Mossimo Faux Leather Knee-High boots is a good example of how I like my Fall boots. Rounded Toe and stacked heels. I feel much comfortable walking trading the Fall weather with a chunky heel like these. I guess it’s because it was the stylish kind of boots that I was able to rock in the snow. Having lived 8 years in NY, where it snows every winter, I wanted to wear something stylish yet comfortable.

Stiletto heeled boots on 4 inches of snow just would not work, no matter how much TV shows or celebrities our there would like you to believe. Ironically, I could actually wear the stiletto heeled boots here in NC but I’m too chicken to try, heh. Anyhoooo, I might check my local Target store for this pair of boots sometime soon. Really need to get my gear in preparing my self for cold weather. Time to retire my old boots .

$34.99 from Target.

This Shoeholic’s Evolution on Fall Footwear, Part 1

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 13:31:34 +0000

In my early 20’s my family(hubby and son) lived in Upstate New York where when it’s cold, it is cold and when it snows, it’s a freaking blizzard. I said early 20’s, Yes we got married early. I’m going to be 31 this December and we’ve been married for 10 years so do the math . Anyhooo, during my errr, younger years, I loved chunky heels on boots. I had a couple of knee-high chunky boots for skirts and dresses but mostly I had mid-calf boots that I wore with jeans. Not only were they rockin’ cool, they were sturdy to keep me up from the damn blizzard waiting for me outside come Winter time.

Those are the boots I wore. In my early 20’s. During Fall and Winter in Upstate NY. I never wore UGGS, heh. For knee-high boots, I had these 2 pair.

I loved each pair. But as my age added up every year, my choices on Fall/Winter footwear has evolved. I’ve donated these boots to Salvation Army, 3 years ago. I hope some young woman who’s feeling rock and roll can take advantage of them.

When I hit 28, I found myself associated more on the knee-high boots category. And the heels have changed as well. To find out more, come back tomorrow

Top 5 Reasons You Should Say NO To UGGS

Dexie Wharton — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 13:28:08 +0000

It’ll be Fall soon. A little breeze will be felt if you live in US States where the weather drops down when season changes. Then comes Winter. I just feel the need to “educate” my fellow stylish fashionistas to SAY NO TO UGGS. Oh please please please. Here are top 5 reasons why you should say NO to UGGS.

You live in Sunny California.
You’re not an infant baby girl. They look cute on babies but not so much on grown women.
You’ll look like you’re trying too hard to be trendy. Not all trends should be followed.
There’s no snow in the ground. Or where you live. EVER. Like the Sunny California.
It’s pure and simple, UGGS ARE FUGLY!

PS : We lived in Upstate New York for 8 years. It snowed like hell during Winter. Never once did I wear UGGS.

But if you feel you really must, eh, whatever.
