just throwing it out there
I appreciate your opinion and help zekeguy. Based on your strong and dramatic response, I am definitely not wearing boots. Other than that, I would love if the arguments on this thread ended.

Best.Newbie.Comment. greekdancer, I hope you have a fabulous recruitment!!!
Question: What's with boots and dresses? I'm thinking of back in the day when the style was those lace up granny boots and print dresses that made the wearer look like Little House on the Prairie. I'll search for a photo and post if I find one.
Can someone show me a successful boots and dress combo? I bet the boots you like would work with something!
ps dekeguy, take a deep breath. This is not the hill you want to die on.

Obviously, some are more successful than others. I also feel like attitude comes into play - like the last example.

I like dresses with boots. It's a really "young" look right now (late teens, early 20s) but I haven't seen many women my age or older pull it of with any degree of success. It usually looks better with heavier clothes, sweater dresses, etc.
I do wear boots and skirts quite often, with tights. Depends on the type of skirt. But that's the style up here in the winter (when it's -40,000 degrees).

This is kindof the aesthetic I go for.

Second the motion on your kind and encouraging comment to the PNM.
Interesting choice of metaphor about that hill. Back when I was forward deployed in Iraq I came close to doing just that. Caught one in the leg and some frag across my back. I have been shot at by experts with real bullets so being shot at with e-bullets has little effect. Mostly a bit surprised and a bit of mild amusement tinged with very mild annoyance at being attacked for what was intended as a helpful thought. Ah well...

Wow, I didn't think the comments could get more eyeroll worthy.

That would be great by me. I'm sorry that this caused so much chaos. It was not intended to do so. But, I would like to offer you my best wishes for good luck in finding the perfect fit into what I expect will be a great and positive experience for you.
