nbr: fashion help, please? (boots)

It's no secret that I'm fashion-challenged, so can you guys help me out, please?

(1)Are these ugly? Ok? current, I guess? and (2) if acceptable, what would one wear with them?

I have no clue...and shouldn't have bought them without help in the first place. :)  I must be the reason personal shoppers were invented...and really ought to price one out... Anyway, they've been sitting in my closet unworn because I can't figure out if it was a bad purchase-on-a-whim or, if not, what to pair with them?

I won't delete unless it turns out I should be embarassed for the purchase. ;)

eta: I was planning to wear them in an office setting/to work, not casually with jeans.  And if anyone has a more versatile boot (in black or brown) they'd love to PIP/link, I'm open to suggestions (before I buy this time!) ;)

    i'm a bit fashion challenged myself and do what you do with buying something first before really knowing how to wear it. i see this boot with an a-line skirt, tights and nice blouse. and according to pinterest, sweater dress + boots = cute.

    Ugly? No. Current? Not really. Acceptable? Totally. 

    They're conservative. I'm not a fan of the heel or the toe myself, but that's just my opinion. I've decided that if I'm going to have a heel, by god it's going to be a 4" w a platform.  Otherwise it's a flat or a riding boot sort of stacked heel.

    But you could totally wear these with a sweater dress or skinny jeans. They're just NMS.

    Ditto AustinBride. They're cute, but it might be hard to dress down your outfit with these boots.

    I think they are cute and look like a pair that I own.  I would wear them in a heartbeat.

    You can wear them with any dress or skirt in an office setting or even in a casual setting really.  Just go to g oo g l e and search "dress with tall boots" in the image box and you get all sorts of great ideas.
