    Both boots go well (and both are fab!!). Black is dressier, but can EASILY be dressed down depending on your top/ jacket. Like black boots, denim jacket, scarf= casual.
    I'd do black tights with those.

    For the brown, I'd do grey cable knit/ sweater knit tights (at Target for around $5) or grey knee high socks scrunched down a bit.
    Not a tartan skirt, but the spirit of the outfit is similar.

    I wouldn't worry about matching the leather colors of your buckles to your shoes. It's more important that the styles work together than the colors. Black buckles and brown buckles are neutrals.

    I'd encourage against nude/ tan, which is more "office" appropriate in a very corporate setting.
    Thats exactly what I was looking for! regular tights sort of make me feel like a 5 year old. I think there is something a little more "grown up" about cable knit sweater tights. lol. The length of my skirt is about mid-knee (im going to go ahead and add that to the original post too)

    Thanks so much for your input! I got a lot of great ideas.

    How cute would these be in grey/black/or white

    Ha! I totally feel like a little kid in standard ol opaque tights too! I like a little texture, it adds some funk.
    Those tights are cool! Love the pattern.

    Wait a sec, There's another thread with examples of skirts in that length. I was getting all confused, so I made a chart. I believe footwear is visible. (page 6)

    Re: Boot color/tights color with tartan skirt

    I wear black with blue/red based and brown with green/yellow based fabric colours.

    I used to be far more psychedelic and at my first encounter with a professional lighting man slumming it in amateur dramatics for his wife's sake, his eyes opened wide and he gasped 'I don't have to light that do I?'

    Re: Boot color/tights color with tartan skirt

    My wife (She of the Shapely Stems) owns boots similar to both. Unfortunately, that means the primitive limbic areas of my brain have drowned out all considerations save one.
    I picture my wife in those boots and all I feel is brownbrownbrownbrownbrownbrownbrownbrown
