Skinnies and chelsea boots

Not as easy as you'd think. Was ready to do at weekend with baxters and they didn't Enc right at the bottom. Scoured frigging Pinterest and I need jeans skinnier so they finish just above either by design or rolling. Plus socks.

Anyone else found this?

I have never seen anyone look like a golf club Grin

Wonder why Bodenham was my auto correct?Smile
have to say their skinnies are flattering.
I hate the gap between some narrow ankle jeans and boots.
I feel like I'm auditioning for a part in Snow White.

We drive though it often.
Bodenham is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England, situated on a bend in the River Lugg, about seven miles south of Leominster. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 1,024.

GeorginaWorsley · 14/10/2014 07:28

Bloody hell..
I read that as Hertfordshire..SmileBlush
Atlas of Britain out in a moment definitely.
I actually know Herefordshire as wellBlush
All this on a boots thread too!

AmberNectarine · 14/10/2014 07:29

Oh, to have legs slender enough to worry about golf club connotations....

andsmile · 14/10/2014 07:35

Ive kinda got min hooked up and in at the back, then crinkled around the front so enough of the boot is shown.

I never even knew you had to roll up

Well if in doubt I wear my Blowfish chunky biker boots as everything tucks into them and they are not leather (but look great IMO) so sont spoil in wet weather.

GeorginaWorsley · 14/10/2014 07:40

To return to original premise of thread...I think it's the straight top of Chelsea type boots that make it difficult.
boots with a dip like Ash (Jalouse?)
possibly easier, not sure.

HoneyDragonMumshnet · 14/10/2014 07:50

Are turn ups compulsory?

I turn up my looser skinnies but I tuck my Gap ones in and they look fine. Makes my legs look longer and looks smarter.

noddyholder · 14/10/2014 08:06

I think they have to be tight to look stylish on me anyway. Even a bit of flappy jeans in ankle boots looks a bit frumpy if boots are flat For those that like really tight bershka push up leggings are like trousers and really flattering with a big jumper

andsmile · 14/10/2014 08:20

Are leggings inside celsea boots a no no then?

Sorry dont know what bershka is/are.

PrincessOfChina · 14/10/2014 08:25

Mine fit into my boots just fine. And I also wear leggings. And today I'm wearing with a dress and tights.

noddyholder · 14/10/2014 09:06

www.thebudgetbabe.com/uploads/2013/201311/chelseabootsobsession.jpg I like to see the boots like these ones

andsmile · 14/10/2014 10:20

I do like poshs combo tbh

leedy · 14/10/2014 10:37

I find jeans inside chelsea boots makes my little stumpy legs look even shorter, though that may be just my particular little stumpy legs.

noddyholder · 14/10/2014 10:41

So do I andsmile love the coat and the rolled up trousers.

RonaldMcDonald · 14/10/2014 12:54

I'm wearing dm chelseas - my feet are a full size 8
my legs and arms are a bit preying mantis

golf clubs

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 14/10/2014 19:37

Posh looks fab.

AtlanticDrift · 14/10/2014 19:59

My legs are too skinny for this look I think. I look like I'm going out to work the fields in chelsea boots

pebblestack · 14/10/2014 20:01

Ah, the Ham of Boden, know it well. Pretty. Country folk in hotchpotch.

Anyhoo, DD has Chelsea boots, they are super comfy. Will pinch them and see whether I look like Posh or a hockey stick

cheapskatemum · 15/10/2014 16:28

Envy AtlanticD legs too skinny for this look? I was thinking the slebs had swapped their pins for matchsticks in those photos. I might be able to carry the look off with a big coat, but the cost of that + chelsea boots = more than DH & I have earned this year.

BettyMoody · 16/10/2014 12:33

I got legs like sticks and tiny ankles too. Look
you just not found the right boots
