Look Sharp, Sconnie - Midwestern Fashion Nerd, Chronic Over-thinker

Knees Undercover.

As afore-promised here:
My take on OTKs. 

I know, I know. Black tights, straightened hair, and an undoubtedly inappropriate-lengthed skirt. . .

GABRIELLE. 

What are you thinking?
And to that I say...
Grey. Brown. Baggy. Unflatteringly-silhouetted shapes and specs that swallow the face.

Believe you me, I did not get hit on while wearing this outfit. 
I did, however, garner the attention of a particularly disgruntled old woman who insisted at glaring incessantly at my not-exposed leg. 
So to you, Debbie Downarina, I devote this post. 

You have single-handedly inspired me to continue wearing age-non-appropriate ensembles until the day I die. 

Now - the meat of the matter: 
You may have noticed that my knees are covered. 

By boots. 

My legs by tights, my tush by faux-suede, and my awkwardly long torso by Everlane - a brand I have not been solicited to endorse but that I gladly would. 

So meaty. 



Cheers.

PS: I HATE tights, but these things are the best. most. amazing. ones. ever.

    curious how tall you are? it's so hard for me to find OTKs.
    these are far from trashy since they dont have that stileto heel most stripper boots have they are a nice. for me i love a bit of tacky so i think i'd go sci-fi gogo girl in patent white haha.

    love this look, especially the colors! those boots are amazing and i can't believe that they're jessica simpson! apparently she's the best at shoe design, who knew? i bit the bullet and bought a caramel suede vintage pair a couple of years back but they don't stay up and make me look like some kind of pirate hooker from eyesore island. but apparently there's some boot surgery that will remedy that, which i need to look into. and i totally feel you on the hatred of tights front. i'm dreading getting back to new york winter and 100 den tights. kill me now!

      AHH teach me that boot surgery! I have two pairs that need it badly. And get it done ASAP b.c I need to see them on you. You need to be more narcissistic and put pics up on your blog! Every time I stop by I drool with envy.

      And I know. Who knew J. simps could get her act together on the shoe front?
