Tall and Short

Girls in Asia sacrifice a lot for fashion. I went to Japan last winter and remember seeing tons of girls wearing over the knee boots with shorts or mini skirts in 40 degree weather. Sure, they had tights on, but while I sat there bundled up in my North Face down jacket, jeans, and boots, they casually walked the streets wearing nothing but skirts and heels. I love the idea of tall boots and shorts, but hate that it’s too hot for summer, too cold for winter, and has to be the right balance in order to be appropriate for work. For this outfit, I wanted to stay pretty conservative on top since the tall boots with shorts can draw a lot of attention to the legs.
