I don’t like to say goodbye to summer, but there are a few things I enjoy about fall. One of those it getting to pull my boots out of the closet. I live in boots in the winter like I live in flip-flops in the summer. Boots are little more fun than flip-flops though.
I’ve had quite a few pairs of boots over the years. My current collection includes four.
Two black, two brown. One with a low heal and one with a high heel in each color. I prefer the high-heeled boots because I’m short, and most of my jeans are too long to wear with flat shoes. High heels are no good for walking around the mall or carrying a toddler across on icy parking lot though. So I put the low heels on when I need something more practical.
My husband thinks I’m obsessed with purses, because I buy a new one very season. As any woman knows that’s not an obsession, it’s merely a necessity. But boots? That’s where my true obsession lies. My boot collection has the basics covered, so this year I want to add something a little more fun to it. I’ve been window shopping for boots since July.
1. I’m in the mood for a Western style boot. These Frye Taylors at Zappos are cute, but they cost $294.40 on sale!
2. These Mossimo Supply Co. Kagome Western Boots from Target are similar, and priced right at $29.99.
3. I’m also craving a pair of warm suede boots this season. These Marvin K. – Kenzie Aquatalia boots at Footnotes look toasty, and I like the fur trim. They have a rubber sole which is good for winter, but again they’re pricey at $395.00.
4. These suede and felt Weatherfield boots from Lands’ End are a good alternative. The toggle detail on them is a nice touch. Lands’s End footwear is always good quality. I know these water-resistant, insulated boots will keep my toes warm, and last me a few seasons. $89.95 is still a little pricey, but for these I’d be willing to splurge a bit. If I keep an eye on their website, I can probably get a deal when Lands’ End has one of its great sales.
There’s chill in the air this week, and I’m looking forward to wearing my boots.
What kind of boots are you looking for this season?
Let’s Get Dressed is a weekly fashion and style series. Come back for more next Thursday.
I love boots. They are one of my very favorite things.
I wear flip flops in the summer, and boots in the winter.
I want the cowboy ones- thanks for sharing this great find!
I’m ready for some boots, too! I’m looking for a nice pair of tall brown boots and maybe a pair of gray ankle boots.
Oh Yeah! I’m obsessed with shoes, especially boots, and can never have enough! Over summer vacation I spotted the most awesome leopard rainboots with a heel. Pricy so I walked away. I think about those damn boots every day – lol! Shoulda bought em!!
I’m a boot lover for sure. Love checking out all the posts on Fashion Friday–even if it takes me ’til Monday to get to them all!
