It's all about BOOTS!

My favourite fashion item for winter is definitely boots. I love them! They are just so warm and sturdy for the weather and in terms of outfits, there are so many options. I usually find myself building the outfit from the boots up! Hmm, what can I wear with my boots today? There's tucked into skinny jeans, worn with skirts and dresses, and now there's the option of tights too. Comfortable and fashionable - bonus!

But it can be so hard for plus size gals to find a pair of boots that fit. I thought I was alone, but a quick poll around my friends and girls from the that's life office showed me that it's not only bigger girls who find it hard to get boots to fit. It's crazy! But once you find a good pair, you'll want to live in them.


Here's a couple of great websites for wide calf boots and my fave picks...

The Sara clothing range on the Ezibuy website now has a fabulous range of wide calf boots. They are very on-trend and and a really good price. There's only one size calf width in each size, but it seems pretty spot on. I got a pair of the riding boots in black and they fit great. There's a discreet elastic panel so they can accommodate different sizes.


These are the riding boots I got in black...







I wanted these ones too, simple with the buckle detail and I'm quite tall so the extra length would have been perfect. But they'd sold out in a size 11. Boo!




And I love these buckle boots! They're edgy and you can rock boho or that pretty punk look.

A great selection of boots from flat riding-style boots, to glam heeled styles. There's some gorgeous leather riding style boots and even a good selection of colours, including red and white. There are also a number of calf widths in each size, so you'll get a great fit. This is Bennetts Boots, an Aussie business and there are even a few stores around Australia that stock them.

Here are my favourite picks from their website...


I love these lovely caramel brown colour leather riding boots, they would great with some dark jeans, a white top and a cosy knits layered over.


What a practical pair of boots, without losing out on style. Great for more casual outfits and very comfortable - perfect if you're wearing them all day.







And for the heeled boots...

Gorgeous leather boots with a stylish chunkier heel. Love the subtle cowboy style. Dress up with jeans and big earrings for a night out, or wear with a t-shirt, cardi and scarf for lunch or shopping.





This is a sexy slouchy boot! These will go brilliantly with both skirts and jeans. I love the rich brown colour too.

The exact measurements on this site mean you're sure to get a pair of boots that fit unbelievably well. In most styles there's three categories of width - wide, extra wide and super wide. Within those, you basically measure your calf and find the exact size right for you. It's a US company so you have to factor in the cost of shipping, and the prices are in $US so you need to convert to Australian dollars. Measure well, you don't want to have to pay to ship them back to the US for another size!

I got THIS pair last year and I love them...
