not a look you see much in Tucson for obvious reasons.

No, I would not imagine that would be so.
Is the OP going to SoCal or NorCal (is that a thing?)? I bet that would make a difference as to whether or not the boots with a skirt/boots with a dress look would be "normal."

dekeguy, I've shared this on the boards before: a valuable lesson my father taught me about "having to have the last word". Truly, you can let this go now. It's morphing into something much more than boots and dresses.
While I'm addressing you, dekeguy, thank you for your service in Iraq. It is deeply appreciated.
Now, back to fashion: NorCal, I've heard that, agzg. And here in AZ we fondly refer to everything south of Maricopa County as "Baja Arizona". I won't insult my friends in the northern part of the state, other than to say I pity the fools who have to live in Phoenix. It's stinking hot there.

Sheeeit, in the Pacific Northwest I wouldn't be surprised if they're wearing tights and boots with their dresses right now - I've heard it's been a rather chilly summer.

AzTheta-I have no idea what is with boots and dresses! It's just how we roll in CT I guess. I actually worked at a fashion store in a mall for a while and saw so many of the older girls wearing outfits similar to the one I posted to work that it grew on me! It's also common around here to wear leggings with no pants. Not my thing. When my old friends come visit me the always make fun of the style here!
We have two styles: extremely preppy (Vineyard Vines, Lacoste polos) and then the boots and leggings.
Guess I need to work on my wardrobe when I go to California (NorCal)

Ha, good on you for not liking leggings as pants. That one's always a headscratcher for me.

OK.
This is ridiculous, dekeguy. Step away from the keyboard. Seriously. Or my dad will rise up from his grave and everyone will regret it.
Now, everybody hold hands, sing kumbaya, and I'm toasting the marshmallows because it's obvious that some people might use the sticks as weapons. In other words:basta!
Back to greekdancer: girl, you better adjust your clothing and style. You in Big Trouble if you show up in those clothes in California. (i went and looked at the clothing styles you referenced. No, No...NO.).
Where the hell is ellebud? lucykkg? Come ON. This is annoying.
ETA: leggings with no pants? what?

Lilly? LILLY? Oh dear. I need to get some of my Arizona actives to give me suggestions for you. And again, for the fifteen millionth time: ellebud? lucykkg? For the love of Mike!

Inner or Outer? South of the Park, north of Sloat, and west of UC/Kezar or it doesn't count. If we or siblings went to school together I'm too through. I'll take it even further to Inner Sunset, Golden Gate Heights. You can buy some gear to represent here http://www.cafepress.com/outsidelands/3090475
I want some Polly Ann's ice cream & some pink popcorn.

I would have to say Outer Sunset: 22nd Ave & Irving is the closest . Just not quite close enough to be Inner. Otherwise I think I meet your criteria! Sadly, the home was sold some time ago. What I wouldn't give to still own that piece of real estate. Best memories are of what we called "Indian Summer" when the fog was gone. Wore summer clothes in Sept/October.
Kezar! Holy Cow! and what about Seal Stadium? Boy did you take me on a trip down memory lane...
Lowell High School?
Thanks for the URL, I see a little somethin' somethin' I might just desire
OK I promise to return this thread to its regularly scheduled programming, now that ellebud showed up.

OK>>>just saw the thread and my charge cards are screaming..
I don't know where you are going to school. October in SoCal can be very warm...or raining. But I am assuming that you're not here, so.....
The dress is sweet. The boots....not so much. Rather clunky and not the look you want.
I just found for my daughters some suede dove gray boots with high heels that would look wonderful with a sweater dress. But, depending again where you're going to school it could be too warm/cold or too sophisticated for an 18 year old. (As much as I would love to wear these it's too young a look for me.) Oh, and wear tights/stockings that match the dress to create a longer line.

I'm drooling. Could you adopt me, please? I think gray suede boots are adorable. Just haven't found myself a pair.
