OTK Boot Obsession
I am seriously obsessed with boots. Living in So Cal, where the weather is warm most of the year, I don’t get to wear them as much as I’d like…but when winter rolls around I pretty much ignore all my other shoes. Our coldest months tend to be January and February, so now is my time to make the most of it. Being short, I own a lot of ankle boots (or booties) that fit more like shoes and don’t cut my leg in an awkward place. I do struggle more with mid-calf styles. However, I absolutely LOVE over-the-knee boots. My obsession with OTK boots began several years back, when they first started trending really hard. I loved the badass vibe they evoked, but wasn’t so sure that they’d work for me given my height. Shopping online, I spotted a pair from Report that looked totally rock-and-roll (and way more expensive than they actually were), so I took the risk and ordered them. It was probably one of the best purchases I ever made, as I couldn’t love those boots more (pictured below). I even wore them when I competed on air for the title of Macy’s Next Style Star!
Thanksgiving Outfit Planning: Trendy & Chic
Thanksgiving is exactly two weeks away, and I’m sure most of you have plans that involve sitting around a table with family and/or friends. In my case, Thanksgiving is traditionally held at my aunt’s house, which is nearby, so I don’t really have to travel. My mom and dad aren’t close unfortunately, but my aunt, uncle, cousins, and grandma are. My hubby and I attend every year, and in addition to family, we see some other friendly faces that we only catch a few times a year. I like to look nice for Thanksgiving, and usually err on the fancier side, wearing a dress of some sort. That’s not to say a casual Thanksgiving look is out of the question…there’s something very comforting about being cozy while you eat and drink yourself silly. But either way, I like to plan my outfit in advance. This year I got to thinking about how to incorporate some major fall trends into my Thanksgiving outfit. Contrary to popular belief, trendy doesn’t have to be tacky. It’s easy to incorporate seasonal styles in a way that’s chic and timeless. So here are some ideas that would be easy for anyone to recreate.
