Material Girl

I went shopping today. Please leave all the lame "when your husband is out of town, you go shopping" remarks in your head and not on my blog.

My questions is this: (I assume I'm talking to the ladies, but you never know.) What does one wear with Knee-high black leather boots with heels? I know they'll work with my really long denim skirt and a sweater. But how do I venture into the world of reasonably short skirts with knee high boots and still look more like a therapist than a street walker? Since I got that tattoo, I guess I really have to watch myself. ;)

Advice, please give.
