Um. From a boy perspective: YES. Your proposed outfit sounds hot, and I have a sneaking suspicion that you'll pull it off just fine.
apparently ginormous calves I have known girls who had what I thought were very small calves who had the infamous boot-calf problem. Heard many a person complain about it online, too. It ain't you. It's the fashion industry. I have no idea how they sell anything.
it is a damn cute outfit and I like that it shows off my creativity a bit, since pretty much everything has been altered by my scissors.
I have no idea how they sell anything. i know, right? from a financial bottom line, if nothing else, they totally screw themselves right out of a market. just like they realized that gays have money, too, someday they'll realize that big girls also have money. or maybe they'll realize that not everyone has 14" calves. cuz i know some folks who aren't big girls by any stretch of the imagination but are athletes...which equals burly muscular calves. i wish it were as easy to make one's own boots as it is to alter/make clothing.
"i wish it were as easy to make one's own boots as it is to alter/make clothing."
Oh, holy horses, yes! My favorite boots have been resoled by the guys at the shoe repair place in the old Broadway Market a whole bunch of times. The last time I went, they said that my boots were beyond repair, which I KNOW can't be right. I really wish I knew how to do it myself, but every time I have tried, it has been either a total failure or a temporary fix. I learned some new tricks at Burning Man this year, but still nothing permanent.
I should just set aside time (...HA!) to learn how. All it would take is some research and practice, dammit.
It's all the rage in Williamsburg, the stateside version of the streets of Japan in terms of ragin' fashion. :) You're hot. Your legs are hot. Your legs in just past ankle-high boots and knee-high socks = oh so hot! Enjoy yr date. xo
A punk-ish girlfriend had this problem and took the boots she bought when they still fit her, cut slits in them, (they were black), safety pinned the resulting gap together and backed the gap with plaid punky looking red fabric.
I dunno if the safety pins would fly for ya, but you could probably use laces, or just buy lace ups, which is what I do due to accomodate my not only huge calves but man-like ankles. That's it, I'm going cyber boot hunting.
