Boots for Everybody

Contrast Shoe Boot from ASOS for about $50.

In case you haven't noticed, boots are everywhere this season. They are simply unavoidable! Whether you're clunking down the streets in colorful, printed galoshes to avoid the winter snow/rain (global warming makes it unpredictable!), or knee-high lace-ups with a 5-inch stacked heel, or a cute bootie like above, you can be assured that you're ahead on the fashion radar. Or at least, right in the middle of it!

My tips? Invest in a good pair of boots in a dark, neutral tone; ones that will last forever and weather any trend changes.

+ Ankle boots are hot this season and can even be worn through the warmer seasons. Pick up a pair that flatters your legs with a pointed toe and a slight heel or wedge. Don't go for anything in an outrageous color; it's not going to last longer than this fall! Something like this should do the trick.
+ Mid-calf boots are not universally flattering, beware! In general, try to get one that's loose fitting at the top and slouchy, instead of tapered and skin-tight. This gives you the widest range of options when it comes to mixing and matching it with the rest of your clothes. A heel will probably work best for those who are not blessed in the long-and-lean leg arena.
+ Knee-highs will always be in fashion, with jeans tucked in or over tights and a skirt. How not to look like you came tromping off the farm? Get one in a luxe fabric, like suede. To up the fashion-forward-factor, try to get one that comes with hardware- sturdy buckles and clasps for that hardy, punk feel. Heel or no heel, they look great either way.
