Unless you have been living under a proverbial fashion nock, you've no doubt been smacked in the face repeatedly by this fall fashion trend: the thigh-high boot. To be honest, like most normal (read: non-fashionista) people, I'm a bit dubious about it and I'm pretty sure it's going to be rather short lived, and thus hardly worth the investment.
That said, these Dolce Vita Wilde boots caught my eye because of the cinnamon-bronze, supple leather and sleek profile. And the comfortably doable 3" heels. That was from the front. Then I looked at the backs and did a double-take at the weird cut-outs behind the knees. I felt instantly conflicted. On the one hand, the spirit of these boots perfectly captures my half-assed attitude towards thigh-high boots, like they can't decide what they want to be. On the other hand, they really are a little strange.
So I submit to you, dear readers--what do you think of them? Photos shamelessly stolen off of 80spurple.com.
