I've been wanting to buy a pair of chelsea boots for ages, but I'm still not entirely confident I'm going to get it right. And I can't afford to spend loads on a pair which don't look right.
Basically they need to be:
- wearable with skirts and jeans
- no more than £100ish, happy to shop anywhere, including from abroad or 2nd hand on eBay (size 6 feet)
- black (better chance of going with dark tights/outfits)
- probably heeled (i've got chunky legs, and notice that the totally flat ones make short chunky legs look bad on models I've noticed)
- suitable for someone who's nearing 33
So far this week I've come up with the following options:
(1) Example 1... but they're sold out now.
(2) Example 2 but the auction has ended now.
(3) Example 3 but I'm not sure I like how rounded the toes are, and they're at the higher end of my budget.
(4) Option 4 but I fear they're getting too western style now.
Can anyone advise me on the chunky leg aspect, whether the examples I've given would work with skirts AND jeans, my age, etc?
To say I'm clueless about fashion would be an understatement, but I'm wanting to buy a pair of boots that I won't look like a right old bag in, rather than do as I normally do which is stick to ballet shoes all the time!
