Thanks Mindi, but oh my! I just looked back and the picture is *huge*! I posted on my phone last night and didn't realize how *large* the picture was - I can't get why my phone does that for some pictures. It did not look so huge on my iPhone. Sorry if that was the first thing you guys saw this morning.
 
Hi guys I'm back with another episode of my boot report. A friend who looks fabulous in her ankle boots suggested that her secret is to find something that is cut as low to the ankle bone as possible. I think this style helps to show more of the curve of the leg without having to wear a shorter skirt. These are Manolo Blatnik. I like the look but the heel is a bit high for me. It was described as 3.5 inches on line but it's really 3.8 inches. Im not sure I would wear them much at this height so they are probably going back, but this low cut style might be something to keep in mind fir the future.

You seem to have very slender ankles, PbP. I have rather thick ankles, IMO, and for me the low-cut bootie rule is helpful. I think the key is cutting the ankle at its narrowest point OR BELOW.
But, I hate my legs in general, so the number of times I permit actual ankle/shin exposure is, er, never.
For what it's worth, I think the height of the boots pictured above is flattering on you.
 
I also liked the tan for being the most comfy and versatile, with the denim ones coming a close second. The platforms were comfy and looked nice, but even though I thought they were sexy, DBF thought they were too clunky when I showed him the picture. The heel was too heavy to be practical for me.

He also thinks I don't need more shoes as I already have too many pairs.

Did I mention I'm throwing out 1 pair of worn out boots and 2 pairs of ratty sandals? In addition to the two pairs I had rattling about my office desk? That's kinda a big deal for a pack rat like me.
Congrats. I know how that goes. Getting rid of that footwear entitles you to at least 1 if not 2 pr. of new shoes.

This is exactly my moto as well. I like my ankle boots to be as close to the ankle as possible

Also, this is totally random but I always think of you as the young version of Susan Sarandon

That's a lovely compliment. Thank you.

There are so many options for boots. I'm trying to be clear on my goals:
1. Update my look a bit by having an alternative to pumps to wear with skirts
2. Have a comfortable (walkable, warm) shoe alternative to wear with pants and skirts for winter so I don't reach for jeans as often.

Thank you for understanding.

PbP, I would try the ankle boot with dark hose - otherwise it's too choppy and clunky at the bottom. Also, have you considered a lighter shade of boot - grey or nude? That would update the look.
