A month or two ago, Aerosoles sent me some boots to review. These boots. They are amazingly comfortable, exactly what I expected from the brand, known for its comfort. I love wearing them.

The boots are also on the trendy side. I, as we know, am no fashionista. But, I do like to dress in the current decade when possible. So, I look forward to updating my wardrobe whenever I can.

These boots are also tall. I knew they were sending me tall boots, but I was a little surprised that they were sooooooo tall. They are, indeed, knee boots. Apparently, in my old age, I’m not reading things as carefully as I should.

To be honest, I feel a little piratey. Would that it be Elizabeth Swan I resembled. Or perhaps a little super hero-esque? Mrs. Incredible, maybe?

However, I’ve been observing other women out and about. At least here in Southern California it’s not uncommon to see knee boots. Usually, though, I’m seeing them on much younger women than I. This year I turn 39 (for the second time) and while I’m not ready to relegate myself to “old lady clothes,” neither do I want to dress beyond my age.

According to some of my younger and/or hipper friends, Shaina and Jenn, both claim that these are totally appropriate for someone in my stage of life. As long as I wear something longish to cover my rear and balance the ensemble.

But, never one to be satisfied with a simple yes, I turn to you. What do you think?

Can this old lady wear trendy boots?

Disclosure: I was sent a review pair of boots by Aerosoles. All opinions are my own.

  1. I turned 60 this year and am about to be remarried on New Year’s Day. I actually just purchased a pair of snakeskin print booties from Aerosoles which I will be wearing with a turtleneck sweater dress and a faux snakeskin moto jacket to my civil ceremony. I am excited to rock this look with my transitioning salt and pepper pixie haircut. I’ve waited my whole life to feel free from the opinions of others… I say do whatever make you happy 😌❤️

    1. Rock on ! Kudos on being yourself and not giving in to the fashion police.
