Argh ! I just want to try the tall ones and see. Thanks for letting me know about the short boots at NM. Will def see what I can figure out. Y'all know I will keep you posted.

My SA at nordies got the Paris Rome tights. They are beautiful. I would have been scared about the snag issue there too !

Seems like I am alone in this, but I prefer boots with no zippers as long as the leather is made to be pretty stretchy - you get a better fit that way and then when you cross your legs you don't have a zipper digging into your other knee. I like them over tights with skirts and dresses.

My ankles are scrawny (at least something is[emoji23]) and stretchy boots bunch at the ankles on me.

I don't remember how expensive the Paris Rome tights were. They were pretty but I am sure I would have snagged them on the first wear and been devastated.

I agree! I find stretchy leather/material fits my small calves better as it molds to the shape of my legs. A lot of the time when I wear boots with zippers the shaft is too wide, and I look like I'm walking around with my feet in buckets!

Still processing the concept of $725 for the sparkly tights. This brings me back to remembering what my mother always did when putting on her stockings/pantyhose. She made sure all here jewelry was off and she used a pristine pair of white cotton gloves.
She still does this. She is 81. She was brought up in that time when women always wore stockings. Even today, when wearing ballet flats she will never just slip them on with bare feet. She will not even consider knee highs- must be the full leg. I would probably snag these in the first wear!

I know. I am glad y'all are on my side on this one. I loved the tights. Maybe for 300 but 700?! Hmmm :)
If they were thin leggings I'd let it slide cos I have a pair of Celine leggings I love to pieces that I paid 600 for. I love the concept of wearing white gloves to put on stockings.

I'm just going to pull out my hunter boots and practice sticking my feet in them haha ! He said the top is wide. I don't know. I'm just imagining trying to put them on, glitter goes flying, etc etc.

Ailoveresale, no kids here. Sketchers, what's that LOL (kidding ;) )

This is always the YSL glitter boots ..........A little more slouchy and a twist on the look but still very cool.

My grandmother was like this! She was a proper southern lady until the day she died. She wore stockings under EVERYTHING, even trousers.
