When it comes to style, this is as edgy as I get haha! It’s not very often that you’ll see me sporting a head-to-toe black outfit but this one has definitely become a fall favorite. Today, I’m chatting about how to wear over the knee boots with a midi dress!
How to Wear Over the Knee Boots with a Midi Dress

Being the petite lady that I am, “over the knee” anything tends to be a recipe for disaster. While most look amazing with boots just grazing the top of their knee, “over the knee” to someone under five foot really means full leg haha (not even kidding). For this reason, I’ve steered clear of the trend because a.) I thought I could never pull them off, b.) my thighs were usually too big for them and c.) the ones I tried on ALWAYS ended up stretching to my upper thigh…. if I could even get it that high lol.
You know those days when you can’t get your jeans on so you lay on the bed and suck in your stomach as much as you can just to zip your pants? Just imagine that in shoe form. But then one day I found the most beautiful and perfect boots ever and I have to say that they were worth the wait…and the struggle of putting on a form fitting boot 😉
Finding the perfect boot was half the battle though. Now what would I wear them with? Although I like the idea of pairing them with jeans, I’m just couldn’t see the possibility of fitting both my legs and my jeans into a pair of boots so I tried it with this midi dress and fell in love. You guys, I am obsessed! I mean, the midi dress was love at first sight with it’s dark floral print, ruffled details and floaty hemline (I’ve probably worn it like seven times already!) but styling it with these boots took it to a whole new level.
I normally wear tights with my dresses during the winter, but these are SO much warmer and look incredibly chic – ahhhh! Off the blog, I’ve also styled them with mini dresses and sweater/skirt combos and they just pull together any look so well. At first, I wasn’t so sure about the black because my wardrobe consists mainly of light colors, but they really do go with everything and even though they are bit “edgier” than what I normally wear, they can easily be styled in a feminine way.
How would you style over the knee boots?

I have one pair of OTK boots but I wouldn’t mind at all adding a black pair with a flat heel. I do love these with your beautiful dress – always keeping with your feminine, romantic style Lizzie – I really admire your style!

I love this beautiful combo on you. I just bought a pair of over the knee boots for the first time this year because I’ve been afraid they wouldn’t work, but I love them.
Love the dress and boots together! I adore this print and the bow in your hair. Thanks for the link up!

I loveeeee that dress! And it looks perfect with the OTK boots!
Even though I’m only 5′-1″, I’ve completely embraced over the knee boots – they are kind of my ideal solution to wearing dresses and avoiding tights when it’s cold out! I’m glad you found a pair you love, they do look fabulous on you!

Love that combination! Midi dresses and knee high boots are one of my fave outfits! You should try over the knee boots with long coats too – looks so sophisticated! You’re rocking your new find.

I love the dark floral and OTK boots on you—it’s fun to see you change it up with a darker color scheme. I’ve also been looking for a pair of black OTK boots, so will definitely check these out!

I would never think to wear these kinds of boots with a midi dress but you’ve really pulled it off! Also, love that dress.
I love pairing OTK boots with midi dresses – such a chic look! This dress is stunning!

I love wearing my over the knee boots the same way. I recently purchased a pair just for the winter to wear under my skirts when I don’t want to bother with tights! Love how you styled yours Liz! ♥

I never thought of pairing these together!
I love how you styled them here! That dress is fabulous.
I always think “skinny jeans” when I have the urge to wear tall boots. This is such a great match up!

Thank you so much Nancy!
I’m short too Lizzie, and I have about 6 pairs of OTK boots. It’s finding the right ones that make all the difference. And my favorite way to wear them?? With shorts and shorter skirts!!!

I’ve always loved the look of rall boots with a longer hemmed skirt or dress. You nailed it! xoxo, Sarah
Thank you so much Sarah! I love how this look turned out!
Eek I’m so glad you found the perfect pair of high boots! I’ve been on the hunt for an affordable pair that works for me for years and I’ve yet to come across them – so the hunt continues! If I ever do manage to find them though, I’m totally going to try styling with a midi dress. I love how this looks!
I hope that you find them soon! September is already here lol! Thank you so much Stephanie!
I’m so excited that it’s OTK boot season! I’ll be wearing tall boots with everything in anticipation of fall!
