Dress: Primark. Top: Primark. Boots: Asos. Handbag: Sainsburys. Earrings: New Look.

I can’t decide if I like this look. I love the idea of over the knee boots – they look fashionable and slick on other bloggers and have inspired many of my recent Pinterest style board pins. However, there is an undoubted risk of looking like I’m from Pretty Woman and I do feel rather self-conscious. These Asos boots are lovely thanks to their suede material but they have a higher heel than I was expecting, which means that they aren’t as easy to casually wear as I had hoped. It’s all in the attitude, I’m sure!

I decided the secret to wearing these over the knee boots was to add some sixties styling. I chose this shift dress from Primark, which I layered with a long sleeved striped top underneath for added warmth (although the benefit of over the knee boots is that you can also wear comfy warm socks underneath!) Since the shift dress isn’t too fitted, I think it balances it out the boots. Finally, I added this handbag from Sainsbury’s of all places. It’s got plenty of pockets and fits my camera in nicely and the long strap makes it easy to throw on and go about my day.

What do you think of the trend for over the knee boots? What are your tips to make this look more versatile?
