Visible Monday: My Russian Boots

(A silly, frozen smile – due to a not-relaxed-at-all-posture in front of the webcam, waiting for it to "click")

Hello,

and again it's time for another Visible Monday. In case you want to play, too, click here and visit the Visible Monday gallery: http://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com

Only 1 item of my wardrobe is visible today, the rest is urban-camouflage in marine-blue and navy. I call these boots my Russian Boots, because of the bling-bling. And they have embroderies. And the lining is red and white with flowers. The crystals are by Swarovski Crystallized and the boots are HÖGL (a smallish Austrian Company).
The upper part of the boots is made out of anthracite-grey loden, the lower part is black leather.

The only reason, why I did choose these boots today was that my comfy brown suede boots with silent rubber soles needed to go to the shoe-doctor, the zip broke.

Not only are my black Russian Boots sparkling, no, they also make quite an appearance, they are loud! The heels make "clong clog clong clog" all the way down the corridor at the office. Plus, they add 2 extra inches to my 5'10''. I would say they absolutely qualify for a visible monday!

cheers,
Paula

    1. Indeed, I enjoy the Visible Monday, too. Though I don't dress up on purpose. But in the long term ideas like this help me improve the coices I make every morning, when standing in front of my closet.

    Oh you and Adrienne are lucky tall people, I would have loved to have been given the gift of height.

    1. Please, just in case - don't dare to trade in your cheekbones. And neither your waist!!

    1. Sometimes it takes some time to realize visible can be fun. Because visible can also be exhausting, drawing the attention to oneself for a whole day ... As part of a group I enjoy being visible more than before!

  8. Love the boots (they definitely add the right touch of attitude to the classic jeans with black top) and instantly wish, I was a little taller myself. Don't be afraid to make yourself "visible" - you look great! :-) xox, Macs
