Thigh-high boots. It seems like you either love them or hate them. A couple of years ago, I thought they would only work with short skirts because I assumed they were too tight to wear with anything other than tights underneath them. It wasn't long before I saw them styled with leggings and skinny jeans and I realized that they were something I might be able to pull off. As much as I wanted a pair, I knew that the key to this look was to invest in a high quality pair. The higher the quality, the better the fit, and the less trashy they'd seem. I'm not talking about Stuart Weitzman quality (that's way out of my price range) but more in the Steve Madden range.

Living in a single income household with little kids, my big purchases only ever come at Christmas and my birthday. And since those both fall in winter, I always felt it was too late in the season to invest in boots. However, this year, I decided to go for it. I used my birthday money to buy a pair that was on sale for $50 off and I'm glad I did.

For date night, I styled mine with this cute, fluffy sweater from Shein. Thigh-high boots are overtly sexy, so I paired them with something a little more girly and less shape-hugging to soften the look.

Here are the best things about thigh-high boots:
1. They can spice up the most basic of outfits
2. They're leg lengthening
3. They're leg warming
4. They're sexy... yep, I already mentioned that but it deserved repeating

What do you think about thigh-high boots? Cool or do they come to close to Pretty Woman territory?
