Chic After Fifty

I might have already told you, but I love ankle boots. It took me a while to appreciate them. At first I thought they were strange, they look good only on women with very long and thin legs, etc. Not that this is not true. They are difficult to wear. They look better on women with long and thin legs.

But I have come to love them. And since I am small and don’t have long and thin legs, I have tried to find a way to wear them without displeasing myself (or others, for that matter). Did I succeed?

You tell me!

Here are my suggestions: choose the ankle boots with a large heel. The stiletto type are much more difficult not only to walk in, but also to look good into. Choose them a size more than your usual one, so that they are large on your ankle. Wear them wiht thick tights of more or less the same color: black on black, blue on blue, blue on black. But more than everything, wear them with a smile!

Today for instance for my #selfieinthekitchen and for my Monday at work I am wearing a denim skirt (Banana Republic) with a stripy T-shirt and a blue sweater (Martino Midali but a very old one), dark blue thick tights and the suede blue ankle boots. What do you think?

I am looking forward to your comments, and in the meantime: have a nice day!
