You're right... ankle boots would probably look awkward with anything but a long skirt or long pants, especially with an ample calf (I have large calf muscles too!).
Some ballet flats with thick tights or ankle length leggings would work well. I live in central Texas, so I don't have to worry about cold, cold weather though so I don't have a great frame of reference! Could you have a pair of snow-boots to wear outside and then change into your flats once you get to your destination? I don't know how practical that is...
Good luck!

I meant the boots/oxfords for tights weather! If you wear opaque dark tights and a dark shoe it will lengthen the leg a lot. I see lots of trendy girls doing this and not all of them are skinny minnys!

oh, haha! I was picturing a knee length skirt, bare legs and then boots. Tights would be cute.

I have never ever been able to wear boots. I would be so thrilled to finally fit my thick calves in a pair... Maybe when I get to goal.

Don't worry about Zappos - return shipping is free. I return waaaaay more shoes than I keep from there. I usually order 4 pair and keep 1. You are just out the $ on your credit card for a week or two.
I can't wait to be able to wear boots!

So I went home last night and dragged out all my shoes and tried this and that. I don't have tight, so I'll have to get some before I can really tell what works and doesn't. I do have some very thin ballet flats. I think they looked ok, but not perfect. I may give them a try. My ankle boots looked better than I expected with a skirt, although in typical me fashion, I was had on bright turquoise t-shirt that I'd worn yesterday, the first skirt I found to throw on which is black and brown and colorful and I can't describe it but doesn't go with turquoise, bare legs and the boot and then stood back to see how it looked. And I wonder why I can't tell!
