Please help a useless soul

[WideMutha]

I've finally found some boots I like, that fit me yay me

but I've realised I have no idea how to wear them. Until now I have always worn slight bootkick jeans to balance out my incredibly wide hips but what do I wear with kneehigh boots?
I've never worn skinnyfit/jeggings (whats the difference)/ leggings because though I am reasonably thin (seen side on) I am so so wide of hip and am worried I would look like an a tall spinning top

Help
dress me

What would suit my shape?

So - you're tall and pear-shaped, yep?

Skinny jeans might work if you wore a fairly fitted top with perhaps a longer cardigan worn open over it, to skim across your hips and bum.

Do you like skirts or dresses? How about a just above the knee fairly straight cord skirt? A denim skirt?

Are the boots brown or black, as I think that makes a diffference. Black knee high boots with denim can be a bit PC Plod or a bit Communist-era imho.

I guess pear shaped?
My waist to hip ration is stupid

skinny jeans idea sounds ok

I dont mind dresses and skirts though finding ones that fir is harder because of the waist/hip thing again. Would I find a straight skirt that fitted both?

They're brown

ration how apt
ratio obviously

thank you btw

What kind of skirts/dresses do you normally go for? And have you got a link to the boots?

I really need some new brown knee high boots and I can't find just what I want ANYWHERE!

I haven't actually bought them yet as they're very expensive (for me and a lot of people) so I had second thoughts because I wanted to make sure they got used, hence the thread. Will try and find a link

Skirts that fit tend to have a wide waistband flared and come to just below knee. The best fitting ones have come from next similar to this

I can't find the favourites (designer is called else something, mind blank) but the other ones I quite liked are these

Just below knee straight skirts and knee boots are very in at the moment.

Remus, hit me up. What are you after?

I want a pair exactly the same as my current ones, which are falling to pieces! They are slightly darker than tan but not 'brown' leather and are knee length, kind of a mixture of biker and cowboy, with a slightly Vivienne-pirate-boot-esque-strap around the ankle. I can't find anything even close.

In the meantime though, how about trying to find me a cute sort of dark not too bright red mini (but not too mini) skirt, to be worn in an Annie Hall kind of way with opaques, a blazer and a big scarf? :) I bet that would go nicely with Mutha's boots too!

Tether would a small waisted wide hipped person fit straight skirts? Can you show me the kind of thing you mean please

This sort of thing any good?

Is it wrong to quite like this?

Oooh, those sound lovely. If I see anything similar I will let you know.

Skirts:

Oasis

Too red?

Too flippy?

Lurex

Pleat front

espirit

Jaeger

Monsoon

Now if you can just find me a red maternity pencil skirt...

Sorry for hijack, WideMutha.

WHAT? Really?

WM, it's hard to say without seeing the actual boots, but narrow waist and wide hips can look great in a skirt like this

Remus- Yes. Can't find one anywhere

Oh I didn't know that,
Congratulations

Really, really? Massive congrats to you, my lovely S&B pal! :)

And your 1st red skirt link is exactly the same as my link!

red maternity skirts came up with instructions to make one

Haha! Great minds

Thanks for congrats. Early days but bump is already MASSIVE. I am reaching epic proportions. Will need lots of wardrobe help over the coming months

here you don't ask for much do you

I've just seen that too, Mutha. :)

Nope it seems like red is the colour for harlots and not for sweet pregnant people

Oooh, close WM... but I want actual red. You are right. Tis for harlots.

Oh I am deffo a harlot.

Tethers - amazingly, that Monsoon one looks absolutely perfect. Thank you.

Would you settle for black or grey with a red top? Isabella Oliver have a couple of gorgeous looking ones.
