Fashion Advice
Okay girls... so I'm not the most fashionable girl in the world. I know this, I accept this. I don't always necessarily look terrible but have been thinking I could use a few key pick me ups to my wardrobe... one being boots (now that it's winter). I hate this kinda stuff but know you guys love it. I'm looking for a pair of boots that I could wear over leggings, but not the really tall kind. I don't think I could wear anything past my mid-calf (I have wider calves and those dont usually fit me). Anyway, I also doin't want to spend more than $30 or 40... any ideas, suggestions? I'm thinking black/grey b/c I usually wear black leggings under black/denim skirts.
Re: Fashion Advice
When we were down in the States my MIL took me shopping for Christmas and I picked these out

I have to say that I am ridiculously envious of JC Penny. I love them so much!
Happy shopping!
JC Penney is my store!! I love it!
I looove those... I like the crinkliness to it (I'm sure there's some sort of fashion word for it but you know what I mean?). I like the LOOK of the taller ones more but dont know if they'd zip up all the way up my calves... I don't get it. I know women heavier than me wear tall boots, not sure how they do it...
I may just order those shorter ones... $25 aint bad!!
Thanks C!

I've never had boots before and that was pretty high on my Christmas wish list this year. So I'm getting these for christmas
http://www.dsw.com/shoe/white+mountain+pinwheel+boot?prodId=226036&category=dsw10cat70017
I'm 5'3" and they hit right below my knee. I remember thinking they were the perfect height to be able to wear a dress/skirt and some patterned tights. They also had just enough give that I could fold my boot cut jeans comfortably into them.
I also tried on http://www.dsw.com/shoe/sm+women%27s+lakke+boot?prodId=226027&category=dsw10cat70017 and http://www.dsw.com/shoe/sam+.and.+libby+pristine+boot?prodId=228712&category=dsw10cat70017 and http://www.dsw.com/shoe/kelly+.and.+katie+fannie+riding+boot?prodId=229053&category=dsw10cat70017
Edited to clickify
I have these and they are wide calf. I wear them mostly with leggings with skirts/dresses. They are super comfy. I know they are a bit more than you want to spend, but you may be able to find them even cheaper.

What are you looking at?
I love me some JCP too. I have asked for these for Christmas: http://www.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=1ba81fe&DeptID=70731&CatID=81534&SO=0&SelDim=14%7e&PCatID=70731&x5view=1&NOffset=0&Ne=4294957900+3+14+8+1031+18+904+833+949&CatTyp=RLE&Dep=WOMENS+SHOES&N=4294933767+529&Pcat=WOMENS+SHOES&Cat=boots&Nao=0&PSO=0&bcCat=3&CmCatId=77583|81534
I can't wear heels anymore and these are a cute alternative.
In terms of width, I think many brands are different, so just try a few. I have the problem that i have really big feet (size 10), so when I buy boots in that big of size they are always too big for me in the calf.
You could also ask on the Fashion & Beauty board. They get tons of boot posts over there
