This Boots Are Made For Walking, pt1: Brown Boots
It’s getting warmer but not quite so before the Spring finally(oh please!!)creeps up upon us I wanted to sneak in at least a couple of posts featuring my favorite fall/winter ensemble focusing on my faux suede brown knee-high boots which I bought from good ‘ol PAYLESS 3 years ago for $19.99. First of, I prefer stacked heels over stilletos when it comes to boots. Yes the latter are oh so sexy but let’s face it’s hard to walk in them. We lived in NY for 8 years where we got inches after inches of snow during winter. To be comfortable and still maintain the chic style that you want, it’s a necessity to opt for a stacked heel boots. We’re now in a State where it gets cold and doesn’t snow except for certain parts(although not as bad as NY) but I still love my preferred kind of boots. Trends are trends but chic and comfort goes a long way my friends.
These are 2 variations of the natural tone look I love during the fall/winter. Crinkled full skirt was $9.98 from Goody’s, olive green crinkle camisole from Metro7 collection(Wal-Mart) on sale for $3, dark brown long sleeves button mini-blazer that I’ve had in my wardrobe for years so I can’t remember where I bought it and how much. I’m pretty sure it didn’t cost me more than $10. Second look is the same except for the skirt. Bubble print pleated skirt that I found at AAFES from one of their 75% off sale 3 or 4 years ago. I can’t remember the prize too but I know I didn’t pay more than $10 either.
There you go, come back tomorrow for the black faux suede knee-high look. See you then :).

[...] These Boots Are Made For Walking, pt2 : Black Boots March 1st, 2007 by Dexie Like I promised yesterday with the Brown Boots get up, here’s the faux suede round-toe knee-high black boots look. I bought this stacked heels pair last year at PAYLESS for $29.99. This blue peasant dress is actually a spring/summer dress but color never hurts anyone during the fall and winter. It definitely puts life in the dreary cold weather around here. When it’s really frigid I usually wear black tights to keep my legs warm but mostly I go bare. Just like the color, a little skin never hurt anyone either. I love pairing dresses with boots. Besides cuddling with the hubster because we’re too cheap to turn on the heater, and sharing a cup of hot chocolate with my son, it’s one of the things I look forward to during the fall/winter season. Being stylish is never far from my consciousness, I guess . Hey, just because I don’t have my 18 yr. old body anymore that doesn’t mean I stopped caring of how I look. And just because it’s cold outside you shouldn’t let that little fact discourage you from looking chic and stylish. Don’t be afraid to wear those dresses with knee-high boots. A trench coat will go nicely with this for that needed cover up when it’s really cold outside. [...]

[...] Look of the Week : Work that Shorts!! April 17th, 2007 by Dexie I’m gonna go out on a limb here and let everybody know, I HATE LEGGINGS. I think it’s for little girls. Cute toddlers. Cute babies. I am so sick and tired of seeing grown ass women(23-above) walking around with leggings under mini skirts. Skirts are for showing off your awesome legs. Why wear leggings to cover it up?. Umm to keep me warm?? Helllooo, if it’s chilly then maybe you should wear jeans instead? Why wear a skirt if it’s freaking 35 degrees outside? WHY??? If it’s Fall season, Skirts and Dresses that goes all the way just above your knees are awesome with knee-high boots. As shown here, and here. But shorts or skirts over leggings during Spring/Summer season is abominable. [...]
