Can anyone recommend any at a lower price? The max I could spend on a pair of boots is around $150-$200 but I really have been wanting a pair of knee highs.

After reading this 4 times over to convince myself to splurge on Jil Sander mid calf boots, can you please share any tweaks you would make to your styling advice as I didnt go to for the taller option. Hoping they will encourage me to wear a lot more midi dresses which I usually avoid.

New Cereal Aisle-er over here! πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Loving these reads and inspo! This is in NO way related to boots, but my investment piece of choice as of late has been silk scarves. Came across one of yours that I loved but is sold out! It was the fish scarf and it is just too good. Will those ever restock or should I give up all hope? Thank you for all your inspiration, tips and stories (which are SO relatable) from VA! 🀍

Love your looks ! Knee high boots look so so nice under long dresses πŸ‘’πŸ‘—

I own a pair a Tammy boots from Aeyde (https://bit.ly/3SbvVM3) and I love everything about them : they’re nicely roomy, the outsole is so cool and practical. And now I wonder πŸ’­ : do these Tammy have a straight or a curved shaft ?

As usual: brilliant outfits and great narrative. I only have eyes for those toteme. 😏

Question about the intro: if at one point one gets to be well versed at shopping in that balance - that every garment that comes in revigorates your wardrobe - how one makes the downward of this? Sometimes I get (not exactly attached) high beliefs for some things that I dont know how to get rid read of them: how do you do this? Reverse the strategy? My issue is if somehow a few years ahead they make sense again?

Any conversation about knee-high boots makes my heart sing. I love the merino sweater over the sundress. Along with boots, it’s a perfect solution for a San Diego winter.

As I drool over that first dress and your Khaite Jean jacket, I am inspired by the pairing with shorts, both long and the short ones with tights. Knee high boots are always a staple for me so it's fun to see your interpretations. xx

I'm a really tall Amazon woman and tall boots don't always fit me as designed, so I've got a couple of fit questions:

1. How high up the leg do you want this style to go? I'm guessing just below the knee cap?

2. Is there supposed to be some extra room at the top of the boot? Like, it's not supposed to be snug on your calf, right?

I have some wellies that I *think* are supposed to be shaped a bit like these boots, but they go about half way up my thigh and the top of the boot is the same circumference as that part of my thigh. I want taller boots, right?
