Over the Knee Boots

Hi guys! Hope your week is off to a great start. I am really digging the Fall weather in LA - it literally is sweater weather these days. What better way to welcome the sweater weather than with an over-the knee boots?! I love over the knee boots in leather, suede, heeled, flat, riding boots - you name it! They are SO versatile and you can dress up/down your look any way you please with these boots. And might I add, they keeps you relatively warm since they do cover your knees and come up pretty high vs. your standard boots. 

Here are a few of my tips on how you can pull off this look this Fall/Winter :) Enjoy! xo

1. Pair it with a Simple Dress

This look is effortless with solid colored and/or simple patterned dress. Pair is with suede or basic leather boots -- which works just as well during daytime as it will at night time. This can work very well for an office look, dinner date with your significant other, and/or just catching up with your girlfriends over coffee/tea!

2.Keep it Comfy in Leggings

 

Keep is casual, cozy yet put together by pairing your boots with leggings and a warm vest! You can actually do a chunky sweater in lieu of the vest if you'd like -- this will go for a similar cozy, comfy feel. This look for sure calls for a Fall/Winter getaway... why not look chic on your vacay?! :)

3. Casual Chic in Tee & Shorts

 You can definitely rock this boyfriend tee + denim shorts look during the Fall (or even Spring), while it's still "warm" enough. Love the look of camel/tan boots, with matching handbag. Even without the matching bag, the look of camel/tan boots gives it a more earthy, natural, comfy vibe. Perfect juxtaposition of casual/chic.

4. Blazer it with Skinny Jeans

This last look is the easiest and very flattering on almost all body types - pair your boots with your favorite pair of skinny jeans (any color - dark, light, black, colored) along with simple shirt (you can keep it solid or go with pattern, as Kate Moss does it here), and structured blazer = voila! This is by far my favorite look, as it can go day & night, and you look SO put together but do it easily so :)
