They just pull up and liken Wendy said, the stretchy kind. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, though for reminding me that I need a new winter coat.

I too bought a stretchy pair without a zipper a couple of years ago, but the heel is so high that I hardly wear them because they are so uncomfortable! When I was in high school, my father told me that I had "football player calves". Yeah, dad, that's the kind of thing that a teenage girl needs to hear! I've never let him live it down either!Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751691511401439604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-17822513732500370692007-11-09T10:12:00.000-05:002007-11-09T10:12:00.000-05:00Alright, there is obviously a trend here.

They are shorter than normal so they don't get to the calf muscle!! ;-( But I also have trouble with pants legs. They catch on my calves and I have to try to discreetly pull them down!!

Tomorrow evening I will go out of my way to a strip club and ask around about tall leather boots. There might even be a boot-maker stripper from Yugoslavia dancing. Granted stripper boots are usually vinyl with high-high heels, but they might be able to lead me in the right direction. I fear I will not be able to ask about winter coats though, that may be a tad too much clothing.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056664842425233640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-29169597435289786312007-11-08T18:06:00.000-05:002007-11-08T18:06:00.000-05:00I totally feel your pain.

I would look at in my closest and try to make excuses to wear it, but windproof fleece has no place in FL. Anyway, I was excited to wear it for 10 days up in NY where it was cold enough. Sadly, that was about the highlight of my time in NY. (DC, different story, of course)<BR/><BR/>FL just feels right these days and the friggin' awesome weather makes it even better.wshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030953897283161914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-19912085213828066272007-11-08T17:42:00.000-05:002007-11-08T17:42:00.000-05:00Not having a set of boots to fit fat fore legged w...Not having a set of boots to fit fat fore legged women is just wrong, I tell ya!Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.com
