If you have the right kind of dress to team up with the boots shoes and carry them off with the right kind of accessories, then you can make your military boots speak for you. Keep in mind that whatever you see in the magazines and fashion channel might not be all suitable for you. What you need to be aware of is the fact that not every kind is meant to suit every person. Depending on your body type and your fashion preferences you should select the right kind of boots for you. What you also need to know is only wear these kinds of boots if you are comfortable in them. Keep in mind a few basic fashion tips so that your boots speak for you.
If you are on the thinner side of the scale, then also you need to be extra careful about the combination discussed, as such a kind of combination would look like chopping off a few inches of your height and at the same time adding some unwanted bulk to your legs. Some combinations which go well with your boots have been discussed here. These boots can be teamed with long skirts. Your boots can either be flat or heeled, and would go well with a long skirt. This is a very classy combination. Long skirts which are fuller or long skirts which are on the narrow side, no matter which kind of long skirt you choose, you are sure to sport a classic combination with your boots. The key in pairing this up is to not show your leg at all. In case your skirt is not long enough so that it is properly covering up the top of the military boots naturally, then you can add a pair of tights along with your skirt.
Short skirts also go well with boots. In such a combination, you are actually showing a lot of leg, as opposed to the long skirt combination. Make sure you are comfortable in a short skirt in rode rot pull off a boot well with your short skirt. Or else, it would be a total fashion disaster which you obviously would not want. You should choose such a short skirt which is a few inches above your knees, as showing only a little leg would make the total outfit look disastrous. The next kind of dress to be teamed up with these boots would be pants. These boots go well with basically any kind of pants. If you are planning to wear skinny pants, then they will go well with your military boots. Otherwise, with any other kind of pants, do not even think of tucking them inside your boots. That would be another fashion disaster! These boots also look good with tights or long leggings, not the cropped leggings. What you must not team up with boots would include pencil skirts, cropped pants, cropped tights, mid length skirts, shorts, and capris.
Don't we have the right to a full game if we pay for it? Of course, if you follow a shopping link at PC-Software we insist in 100% of cases that all are covered by download protection and refund policy. We don't want the customer service aggro any more than you! Well, that was easy (can't see there being much of an article here)! Saturday, September 08, 2012
In Fashion Store that was easy
1) Dismal customer 'experience' in British retail
Easy refunds are most definitely not the case if you go into Game who are instructed to "not do refunds" for PC software, reason being that "too many people don't check the minimum requirements" and that boxed PC software is "notorious for it". Well, don't sell it then, if you feel like that. Does Stelios from Easyjet ever point out that 'value' airlines based neither on luxury, or racking up money selling additional services,Cheap Designer Clothing, may have initially missed the point of Ryanair's business model? Boxed software - It's Game's business. Game ludicrously started asking customers an additional question to cover themselves on all purchases: "Can you confirm you have checked the system requirements and your PC has them"? Can you imagine the conversation at board room level, that resulted in that strategic concept? "We're not making enough cash on PC games, Sir Charles, what shall we do?". "Blame the customers each and every time, Ian. Get them to admit it before they have the temerity to dispense their dough. Problem solved in its entirety." What if the manufacturer got the details wrong? What if Game hasn't tested every publisher's products on every PC in the land? I remember, for example, PC Home reviewer Roland Waddilove getting his knickers in a twist because my old publisher's game The Fugitive was a bit too basic for the very latest £3,000+ gaming PC beasts and wouldn't take into account ultra-new colour palette settings - effectively changing them on startup to 'downgrade' his PC. And it ran too fast on it. Roland is from Yorkshire though, and does like an excuse to enjoy a well-thought out and delivered moan!
b) Game, which recently went bankrupt by the way for those not in the know ('rescued' by administrators at the expense of suppliers and shareholders), also insists on asking its potential customers if they'd rather buy a 2nd hand version (because they make more money on it) for usually as little as £3 less on a £30 game. £27 for 2nd hand goods, ouch! If you say no, that's not a 50% discount, they were told to say "it'll save you a few quid".. again! We've done some calculations, and let's simply say you don't have to have a degree in Further Mathematics to see those figures don't add up in your favour! It's overpriced - there, I said it!
c) I could literally talk about the incompetence of the strategy of the board of GMG all day! But I must mention the customer experience. How when they took over, they sacked a percentage of shop staff who were considered to be "high earners" (overpaid) before realising that those were the experienced ones who actually knew about games, and they'd left themselves with the ones the previous management basically thought were no good and hence hadn't incentivised. That is why,In Fashion Store, my British friends, when you stepped from Electronics Boutique to Game in the 1990s you suddenly noticed at some point that the answer to any question you asked changed from a 3 minute enthusiastic monologue to "dunno". We've reviewed every game on this site, so the answer is a tad more informed - though we really didn't have that much to say on Xing Sudoku!
2) The Latest Fashion - Downloadable Games So, the new age is upon us, and high street stores must soon relinquish their claim to be rulers of the world. Downloads are: faster, more convenient, cheaper (like for like). You don't have to trudge into a town centre on a wet day. You don't have to hope that the game you like is in stock. You can try it first. You can have download protection. You can actually get your money back if something goes wrong (let's all laugh at Game),Replica Fashion Store! What could possibly go wrong? Well, the powers that be have decided in their infinite wisdom, that they liked Half Life so much they've come up with a new concept Half Games. No, not half price game - that would actually be like Christmas. Latest 'idea' - ok it is an idea just not a good one - is to implant Digital Rights Management into titles, and building on a game continually in little parcels called "episodes". Ooh, clever. We may call this, giving you half a game or giving you an unfinished game. At best it's an idea my old publisher came up with 13 years ago, which when presented to Head Office was described as "possibly the most stupid idea I've ever heard in my life". This is at best remember. So our old idea (discarded) was to sell a game for £5, and offer a "deluxe edition" (as they tended to be branded by US software houses) for £10 extra. I think we even had the name Xtra as a brand idea! Why was this idea "the most stupid"? More than a few reasons.
Reason 1: there is a history in high street retail that it's the culmination, the end product, and nothing can be added to it. There are no examples, apart from collectibles, that requires another to purchase to give you more than 50% of the game. And PC software is not a collectible. So, it literally makes no sense. It's like asking you to walk more than 50% of the way into a wood, or for more than 50% of the population to go on to Higher (privileged) Education as Tony Blair proposed…
Reason 2: the customer service implications are actually too much to be handled properly. The implication that this will be added to elsewhere, makes no sense from high street retail business practise, or in law.
Reason 3: does something that is a sample of the 'extra' (as they would like to call it) version have any value at all? Contraversial maybe, but seriously, this is called a "trial" historically, and logically.
Do we not as PC game players deserve a full game from the outset, not half of one? You wouldn't expect a lemonade manufacturer to sell you the 'drink' without a certain ingredient for 20p and 'optional' sugar for £1 at the next counter (to quote both a very old computer game Lemons,Online Shoes Sale, and an old cartoon about rip-offs from the Sunday Times).
