With both Chanel and Gerald Watelet showing thigh highs at the fall Paris couture collections, it makes Cat wonder if we're going to see the resurgence of the hooker boot. Certainly Cat isn't opposed: Cat had the most amazing pair of black suedes when she was in high school, which she wore with a tiny camo mini skirt and puce-colored tights.

If they're not going to reappear, though, can Cat request these heels from Christian Dior? Oh, and the balance to wear them?

Either way, you can expect bright tights to be back again when the leaves start turning. Cat just needs to find a new pair of puce.
