OtK - here to stay?

so i guess i should preface my first entry by saying that this blog is borne of yet another one of my spur-of-the-moment decisions, much like my impromptu trip to NYC and in line with the way i tend to live my life. i like to think of it as inspirational spontaneity and less so an ADD-laced entropy that often beleaguers my apartment (and mind? hm), but moving along...will write an introductory post later, because my recent shopping marathons have yielded these goodies:

i couldn't find a pic of the exact pair that recently came into my possession, but the shaft of the boot fits closest to the marant pair on the far left above. finding the right boot has always been quite the nightmare for my twigs, just as the search for the perfect pair of jeans used to be before the glorious introduction of the skinny jean! i'll still keep my flat suede boots despite the awkward flopping that must be endured, since there's nothing an extra pair of chunky knit legwarmers can't do to add a bit of bulk to temper the calf-slapping. but the second skin fit of my new OtKs are a force to be reckoned with - and one to be wary of while showcasing out in the open. after all, lockhart rd. is just a hop skip and a jump away, and there may very well be a fine line between bohemian grunge and real filth on this side of the harbor. while mine have about a 3 inch stiletto heel, i'm thinking the x-factor can be toned down via baggy harem pants (a la chloe) or even leggings paired correctly with an oversized blazer. speaking of blazers, am still trying to figure out if these can be finagled to become workplace appropriate in any capacity - maybe rolling em down and layering profusely on top? or keeping them long to appear as extra leg coverage with a sweaterdress? will revisit once these have been tried, but in the meantime will keep an eye out!
