i've been wanting a pair of over the knee boots for a while. i knew what i was looking for- slightly slouchy with a chunky heel but not too expensive. otk boots can quicklyu go pirate or "pretty woman". so i was willing to wait to find the pair i wanted. over the holidays, my oldest daughter showed up in the perfect pair! she wears a size 5 which was the only thing that stopped me from stealing them right off her tiny little feet! she got them at forever21 and they were $45. the price is expensive for f21 but inexpensive for boots. i looked at hers closely inside and out and i gotta say for cheap boots the quality was really good.

of course, i got hit with the flu which delayed my boot quest for a few weeks. this ended up working in my favor because by the time i made it into the store they were half off. so here are my $22 otk boots that i'm a tiny bit obsessed with!

i'm hoping the slightly distressed jeans and blouse dresses the boots down a little. i'm hoping this outfit looks casual and maybe a little bit glam rather than, um, street walker.

would you wear over the knee boots?
