When I bought some boots early last fall in anticipation of the cooler colder months ahead, I had no idea how significant that purchase would be.
All I have worn are boots…for months. I am still wearing them and I will probably continue wearing them until July. Boots were about the best thing I could have bought for this winter. Of course, there is a huge difference between “winter” boots and “fashion” boot. I do own a black pair of “winter” boots that are passably fashionable. But they are so stinkin’ warm I really don’t give a hoot about their fashion potential. However, these brown, distressed leather boots by Earth Origins were bought for fashion (and comfort) but surprisingly they are pretty warm too. They have been a wardrobe staple since November.
I love the look of boots with leggings. However, I don’t like the look of my legs in leggings. I found an alternative that works better for me…the J. Jill Slim Leg pant. I wear these pants often and always with a long, tunic type top to hide my insecurities. Here is an example of how I like to wear the pants and my comfy boots together:
(My apologies for the photo quality and the FILTHY mirror. I am not clear as to why I can not tell when my mirror is dirty unless I take a photo. Next time I will remember to clean it first.)
Chambray shirt with a cashmere sweater–super cozy. Hey! And there’s that scarf again. I wear it often since it goes with so many things. But no doubt you are more distracted by that gorgeous Alviero Martini handbag? I understand. It was an amazing find on Ebay Here it is again:
Awesomeness. I think it is my favorite handbag ever next to my Classic Coach Willis. Despite the map design, because of the colors it is surprisingly versatile and goes with almost anything I wear.
