After wearing jeans yesterday, I felt compelled to wear a 'high-energy' pretty outfit today. I broke out these boots for the first time in this challenge and took another item off my 'I put it in my 30 items but still haven't worn it' list. I love these boots, and theoretically they are versatile (brown knee-high boots that fit), but when you put them into practice they take a bit more doing. Of course, they passed my Four Ways to Wear test (see: Episode 10), so they can't be all that bad. :)
Tip of the Day: Since it's been freezing over here, I have been layering like crazy. To keep all of my layers from moving around, I tuck them all into my tights and they stay put! Here, I have a long-sleeve base layer shirt, a pink silk shirt, and my cardigan all tucked into my tights (with my underarmour underneath it all!). I didn't have to worry about anything sliding around on me all day!
Base gray long-sleeve shirt: Gap via Plato's Closet
Pink shirt: Banana Republic via BR Outlet
Cardigan: Unknown via Goodwill donation pile
Skirt: Brass Plum via Goodwill
Base layer on legs: Underarmour
Top layer on legs: tights by Hue via Plato's Closet
Boots: Giusti via Goodwill

I love that shirt with the tie so much! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I also love it--it was one of those items that just immediately clicked for me. :)
ReplyDeleteI just came over to your blog via Kendi's list of remixers. I love what I'm seeing here. That blouse is gorgeous, and I dig the boots!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater with two stripes on the sleeve.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you are still braving the elements for outside pictures. It is getting cold here in Portland, but I am still trying to do it outside, too!

Love, love, love those boots! They're so striking -- what a find.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all the lovely compliments! :) I am also a huge fan of my boots--I was doing a dance of joy when I tried them on and they fit. ^^
