says it all really, i just found myself drawn into Russell and Bromley and this pair of boots made me take them home! They are flat black thigh length and very very soft..

I have hidden them in the wardrobe to stop myself drooling over them

I so fancy a pair of thigh-highs to help alleviate fattish knees/calves (but good thighs iyswim). But also have shortish legs so just can't see it working it out, could it??

What are you going to wear yours with, PS? Short skirt?

FlightHattendant · 27/08/2009 18:35

LOL at PS

I like those ones actually, too old for the R&B ones tho sadly

But you xcan't see the FOOT shape in that pic?

FlightHattendant · 27/08/2009 18:37

am however in LOVE with my mols. Wore them to bed and everything. almost.

Heathcliffscathy · 27/08/2009 18:37

ahhhhhh sigh. winter boots cometh.

giddykipper · 27/08/2009 18:40

I always get depressed with my fat calves at this time of year

Lizzylou · 27/08/2009 18:41

I like Pity's ones better, may have to purchase.
Mabs, yours, though very lovely looking would do nothing for my thighs.

Is the quality OK squeaver? I always balk at the cost of duo boots, but I agree they are worth it if the quality is good and they last me for a few years.

noddyholder · 27/08/2009 19:19

Oh yes do!I want to see them.You have the right legs.Can't believe you got that comptoir trench! There is a short leather jacket in there that i love!

Duo is great, they really are sort of 'tailor made'

OP posts:
FlightHattendant · 27/08/2009 20:07

Nab they are very beautiful.

I like Duo but have found a pair of skinny boots from Fly so am sorted now. Seriously all the ones I've had for years have been like wellies on me, it is not a good look!

FabBakerGirlIsBack · 27/08/2009 20:09
