I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
Re: s/o poll : boots with dresses
Cowboy boots with cotton sundresses, yes.
Tall boots with sweater dresses (or their ilk), yes.
Black hoof-looking booties with skintight dresses, no.
Agreed.
Ditto this.
There's a woman at work who wears skin-tight poly blend dresses and black hoof booties every.single.day. Regardless of season. She looks ridiculous.

I bought a pair of bronze-colored booties at Ross last year. They were $15. I've worn them twice - both times with pants.
I really don't know what I was thinking.
I hear you, I bought grey suede booties YEARS ago and I've worn them once or twice with skinny jeans. Every time I put on an outfit and think "maybe the booties", I end up realizing some other pair of shoes is eminently more appropriate. Yet I refuse to get rid of them.
There are specific boots that go with specific dresses.
Booties are awful and no one should ever wear them with a dress.
I like wearing boots with dresses or skirts because I'm a particular dead fish shade of pale and nylons are a PITA.
OK you guys, now I'm scared. I wear boots and dresses all the time.
These boots:
And a wrap dress like this:
Is this terrible?

Only if by terrible you mean adorable. Because that's adorable.
Right. It's all about which dress, which boot, and how they're styled.
THIS x1000.
If anyone cares MY opinion on cowboy boots and dresses:
I am born and raised "Texan". I go to plenty of events that are western/country... I wear my cowboy boots at least 4 days a week but I do not will not wear them with a dress.
First of - to me it just looks trashy. Maybe I just think the girls who do that are trashy. The only time it doesn't bother me is when a couple of particular older woman I know from the desert wear them with long broom style skirts.
Secondly and MOST importantly. If its warm enough for me to be wearing a sundress - you can bet your a$$ I'm in flip flops or sandals because its too damn hot to be wearing socks and leather calf high shoes.
o and 3rd. If you do wear footie type socks or push down the tube socks so they don't peek out of your boot - you run a pretty good risk of having your boot rub your calf raw.
I'm not a fan.
I don't like bootie boots or even bootie-heel type things. My preference is as much leg as possible, for a longer/leaner look. With fany dresses I wear strappy heals. With work clothes/dresses I wear peep-toe or other pumps, and with summery dresses I wear sandals or wedges.
I actually don't wear boots too often. Although, if I were thinner, I'd totally wear the boots over skinny jeans look.
