Comments on: New trend: Thigh High Boots http://www.fabulousafter40.com/new-trend-thigh-high-boots/ Fashion and Beauty advice to help you Tweak Your Chic™ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:27:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Heartly http://www.fabulousafter40.com/new-trend-thigh-high-boots/comment-page-1/#comment-23548 Heartly Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:27:14 +0000 http://www.fabulousafter40.com/?p=10500#comment-23548 I would just like to say, my mother is 52 and has 5 younger daughters that keep her in style. She manages to pull off new trends in a classy and age appropriate way, and I feel that a lot of women over 40 wanting to follow the trends, can, as long as you keep it age appropriate. I dont have an issue with older women wearing uggs, they are just like any other boots out there, and arent just for younger kids. I like to see older women that DO follow new trends because it seems like they really care about their image.

Simply. No, they aren't appropriate unless you are out trolling for the night or have no common sense whatsoever of age-appropriate dress. What looks good on Madonna DOES NOT translate to real women. And if you have to use the word "Cougar" or "rock it" to justify wearing that's probably a sign you shouldn't be wearing it either. As for UGG's, my neices and nephews laugh hysterically at women over mid-20's wearing them. They laughingly call them FUGGLY! for a good reason. If it's a "trend" you see teens and college girls buying, you should NOT be lining up behind them in Nordies to buy the same thing. Whatever happened to women in their 40+'s plus having dignity and style in their dress and decorum? It seems like everyone wants to try to dress like the "Real Housewives of the OC" now and instead they just look like pathetic old Cougars. Sad. And remember ladies just because you are turning heads, it's not always because you look good, sometimes they are just turning their heads in shock and to get a second look and say to their friend "Oh my god, I can't believe she's wearing THAT at her age! What? She doesn't have a mirror?"

So be forewarned if you are thinking of buying a pair...make sure to walk around the store a few times and see if they fit properly! Hi Lourdes,

Just yesterday I wore my light shaded grey velvet thigh high boots, which I matched with my woolen violet dress that is a bit short and sexy. I wore a black wool coat with a fur cap and my hair was tidy and wore fair makeup. The dermatologist that was interviewing my daughter on her visit commented that I looked too young for a mother of an 18 year old. But I must say that I do a lot of exercise, walk a lot, prefer the stairs to the elevator, don't eat junk food and don't smoke. All of these things help a great deal.

It's the middle of summer here (Australia) & I think I can just about get away with them with opaque tights & a 'not short' skirt. I'll be 45 in May. Understand that nobody wants to look like a hooker or a try-hard but I think if the rest of the outfit is stylist as opposed to slutty it should be ok. Thanks so much I love this site.
