Over-the-knee boots: High Heels


High-heeled OTK boots can add instant sex appeal to your look.  My favorite high-heeled look from Bill Cunningham's feature this week is to the left.  I really like that she is wearing these boots over solid black tights, and  that there is not much room between the top of the boot and the bottom of her trench.  Not promiscuous sexy, but spy-girl sexy.  You can also pair these with jeans, lacy tights, or back-seam pantyhose.








I found a few gorgeous options for this style after the jump...




These Kimchi Blue boots are a close dupe for the ones above.  Not bad for $98! They are suede and have a 3.5 inch almost-chunky stacked heel.  This style also comes in black and taupe. 












This pair is from Deena & Ozzy, and is currently on back order on Urban Outfitters.  It has your classic sexy 5 inch stiletto pump shape at the bottom and a cuff that you can fold down or up.  It comes in grey and black for $148. 











Well, hello! This strappy pair is from Dolce Vita.  It retails for $365, but is currently on sale for $300 on DV's site.  The platform is 1.25 inches, and the upper part is a mix of suede and smooth leather. 






Of course Christian Louboutain has a hot pair out now, a style named Contente that comes in black and navy.  A 26 inch shaft all yours for about $2,000. 
Costume National has a really cool swashbuckling style.  The leather is distressed and slouchy, the circumference is 18 inches, and the heel has a interesting detail.  Currently on sale at saks for just over $1,000, and on the CN e-store for $875.  



Unfortunately, I don't see any thigh-high boots in my near future.  If I do fold, it may be for a grey pair from Urban Outfitters, or a flat pair made of smooth black leather.
