Okay, I love me a good pair of ankle boots or thigh highs and this season I have been seeing a lot of them! If you are looking for a good pair of boots, I love the classic Stuart Weitzman thigh highs. I have a black pair with a slight wedged heel and I wear them all holiday season with skirts and dresses. They are a great way to elevate a look and make everything look a little bit more polished and fancy. I know Dolce Vita and Sam Edelman also come out with a series of boots each season that are very well made and reasonably priced.
For short boots, I have not found a pair I am totally obsessed with. I have an old pair of Frye boots (long since discontinued) that I have worn to death. They are super easy to just throw on with jeans or leggings and a cute sweater! With that said, I have not found a pair this season to replace my old Frye’s that probably needed to be retired last year. I have been seeing a lot of silver hardware and big zippers on the boots, which I think is really cute, but I just don’t know how much I would wear them because I wear gold jewelry all the time. Fashion gods: what do I do?!
Even more so, I have also been seeing a lot of printed booties that end just above the ankle with a small block heel. I bought two pairs from ASOS (cheeta print and blue suede) to wear as kick around shoes when I go out, and I have been loving incorporating them into my wardrobe. I have worn them with all black jean outfits, which is fun as a little pop of color, and even with formal dresses, which I thought was super fun and not to mention comfortable!
Also, slight side note, can we talk about the Doc Marten come back? I have been lusting over a pair of red sparkly ones with flames down the side (of course I love the crazy ones), but I am just not sure how much I will actually wear them! I have seen so many street style artists wearing them and I am OBSESSED. I think I have to take the plunge.
Merry merry!
Xoxo,
Salut Sophie
