Here a Boot, There a Boot
Christi from the Starbucks in our office building. Got the biker boot look.
Renée's got it again. Also a biker boot look. Or maybe more "utilitarian" since that's the description of the season.
My buddy Jaime. Sassy boots. Fun skirt! Don't worry, not real zebra.
This was a result of a co-worker standing for a long time working on a project last week. These have more of the cowgirl look.
I wore my mid-calf tan boots that I featured in my summer boots post with tan patterned net hose and my potato sack skirt (someday I really will make a skirt out of potato sacks).
If you get just one pair of boots this season, I recommend a pair of brown mid-calf ones. Why?
• Mid-calf because they go well with either jeans/slacks or skirts/dresses
--I've worn booties with a dress before and it didn't quite look right. I'm not saying it can't be done. It might just be my particular booties because they're square-toed with a thicker heel. They pack more sturdiness in a smaller boot than befits a feminine dress.
--Taller boots also work with jeans/slacks or skirts/dresses, but I like the ease of zipping up shorter boots (remember, I have big calves so squeezing them into tall boots is like squeezing into a pair of jeans that are a size too small or may have shrunk).
• Brown because it goes with most everything
--I've seen more and more brown shoes worn with a black outfit
--I don't see many brown outfits with black shoes
--Brown goes better than black with neutral colors
--Wearing gray? Well, you don't have to wear your brown mid-calf boots every day. A gray outfit day is a great day to bust out your gray patent leather platform pumps (my scenario is if you buy only one pair of boots. I didn't say "If you buy only one pair of footwear . . .").
Are you kickin' it with boots this fall? E-mail me a pic!
