i’ve got muscular legs. and it seems like the boot options are getting sexier for me every year, which i’m very excited about. now, depending on how large your muscles (or your non-muscles, no judgement!) are … a lot of over the knee boots are not doing the trick for you. cause they ain’t doin the trick for me. that’s why i like to hunt down, every season, the wide calf boots that i’m just JONESING to have in my life. have you found any boots that are killing you un-softly recently? here’s what i’ve found while getting my wardrobe ready for fall.

today is day 2 of the 12 days of christmas, and i couldn’t get very far into this without focusing on shoes. shocker, i know. seeing as i own countless pairs of them. i literally have 2 closets FULL of shoes at my house. i think this probably makes me a horrible person on some level, but then again, shoes almost always still fit.
up first, some affordable options from kmart.
the qupid women’s pamper sherpa short boot in black is not the most attractive looking shoe on kmart’s website, but i think that has something to do with how it’s been photographed. imagine this warm-looking boot on your foot with a pair of black jeggings tucked in and a chic tunic on top with a fantastic obi belt wrapped around your waist, some big chunky rings on your finger and a classic khaki trench on top to protect you from the snow. HELLO. and you can change up the laces to change up the look. these are $37.49. (and kmart has some great shipping offers as well as discount codes going on right now. just click through the photo to get to their site and take advantage.)
unnnnh yes. this is like the perfect foot punctuation for a party look. hell, i’d wear these around the house if i could get away with it. from the platform to the velvet, to the flower, to the mary jane look. this qupid women’s olwyn velvet flower mary jane in black from kmart is workin’ it for all it’s name is worth! it’s on sale for $29.99.
did you hear that asos is having a 40% off sale on shoes right now? that’s music to this girl’s ears because they have some of the HOTTEST options that i would put into the “affordable” price range. and you know they have free shipping to you and free returns, right? love that. these bad boys have pink, glitter, platforms, bows, and velvet. i can’t decide if these are too much are just right. so maybe i’ll just take advantage of that free shipping deal and order them and see …
now here’s a shoe that i’m totally, totally sure of. it’s green velvet. it’s an ankle boot. it just looks rich. end of. and i’m pretty into the high heeled loafer look that i’ve seen recently. these are from irregular choice, which is a brand that we’ve talked about before because i’m obsessed with how weird they are. anyway, there are on sale for $89.99, usually $179.99. come on ladies! almost $100 off! and while we’re on the subject of weird shoes and irregular choice … why not try out these tassled boots that also happen to be rocking some faux fur? i mean, again with the asos offers free shipping to and from their facility. can’t hurt to see how you feel in a pair of these, right?
ok, maybe you’re not ready → read more
this boot is so strange, but i’m also strangely attracted to it. what would you wear this with?
definitely something simple. totally a dress. they’re by irregular choice, too, one of my faves. i give you the Irregular Choice Big Moma Tassled Flat Boots With Faux Fur. got a name on them, too!

it’s that time ladies!! it’s time for boot season. i hope you’re as excited about the change in weather as i am. i’ve talked a few times about how much i hate upper lip sweat, and who like to sweat on subway seats? (be honest. it happens. i will not lie.) and now … it’s time to wrap a boot around your pretty little foot and STRUT!
the only problem is, if you’re like me, you’ve got a wide-calf. that means there are so many boots that just aren’t going to work out for you. i’m in the middle of discovering so many of my boots that i’ve been wearing for years just don’t fit right now (thanks weight gain and knee surgery for changing the shape of my legs!). that means, i’ve been on the HUNT for cute boots. so you can rest ASSURED, that i’ve found some really cute ones for you.
ok, so first up are these brogue boots from evans. they’re not wide-calf (i mean, they don’t need to be!), but they’re super cute and they’re from evans … so you know they’re gonna fit!
evans brogue boots in brown (they also come in black shawty’s!)
evans over the knee black boot - now, these, they’re over the knee. they come in EXTRA wide, and they’re totally chic.
evans brown riding boots - hot. riding boots. nuff said.
evans chunky black boots - another pair that just get the hot stamp.
torrid sally purple knee-high suede boot - i have a pair of purple over the knee velvet boots that EVERYONE always asks me about. now you can have your own, but even fancier because they’re SUEDE!
kara black lace-up heel boot - you know who will think these are hot? uh huh. yeah he (she) will.
so that’s my round up of my SUPER favey faves out there. you can always swing by the SHOE SHOP on xoxonettaP (did you forget that i have a shop?!) if you’d like to see what else i’ve found around the internet. have you found any sweet boots out there?

who am i? petey pab motha … oops @nettaP. southern with a side of city: hush puppies and leather jackets.
i love to talk, first of all. which is why i write the content on this blog. i process the world through words and laughter. my second love is probably technology because it brings laughter and discussion and connection. and my third love is the pursuit of becoming a stronger individual while respecting my strong need for justice.
i'm learning to be myself faithfully and to trust myself with confidence.
i write a lot about being fat and feelings. i also write a lot about food and fitness. and i also write about fashion because it can be hard to clothe yourself appropriately at every hour of your life.
