Thanks to the genius plastic bag tip from Nic, I have been getting the Topshop thigh high boots on and off quite easily now. I shall keep doing it until they stretch enough to be able to wear them without the bags on my feet!
The boots aren't especially tight on my legs but I quite like that as the wrinkles add some texture. They are easy to walk in and will definitely 'do a turn', as we say in the Kingdom.
Sunday was spent indoors playing dress up with them but I could only muster the energy to actually photograph 3 outfits. I didn't want to do the whole totally black/goth thing so I tried them with florals, white and a basic t shirt dress - nice and simple to try and take away the whole kinky aspect associated with thigh high boots.

customised 50's floral dress/gifted belt
Vintage jersey and mesh jacket/Preen dress
Surprisingly I like them best with the floral dress - it kind of de-sexes them!I tried them with a cream lace dress too but by that point I had turned into a sweaty, red, flustered mess which, as we all know, does not a good photograph make, and I'm simply not ready to share everything with you guys. So my red, puffy face remains undocumented...unless you've snapped me dancing at the Subclub.
Whilst I think it was a ridiculous oversight on the part of Topshop to not put helpful, no necessary, side zips on these boots, and I have no doubt they will create another pair with side zips in due course, I will be keeping these as I'm an impatient sort and I want what I want now.
I just need to have a supply of plastic bags at the ready.
