Ankle Boots: You MUST have the right legs for them!

For Christmas, I've been spending time in my home town. While here, I have noticed women trying to be trendy. I am so pleased to see that women in a small town KNOW about the latest styles in fashion. However, I am not okay with women trying.... to be stylish when they do not have what it takes to pull it off. Take ankle boots, for example. I have seen women wearing them, but they are women with either short legs, cankles or no definition in their calves. There are many styles of heels that can make women with these types of legs look good, but ankle boots are not among them. Key note: if you're ankles fill out the boots, you should not be wearing them. There should be extra room. Keep this under consideration for New Years!

Happy Holidays!

Boots Are A Woman's Best Friend

In the Mid West, the weather has more mood swings then a woman pregnant for the first time. One day you will be wearing short sleeves and shorts. The next day you could be wearing layers under a winter coat with jeans and leather boots. Either ways, the leaves on the trees have completely changed colors and every day is considered visually pleasing.

After this weekend, I have a feeling the winter-coat-weather is going to stick. You could walk through a little boutique or down the sidewalk and see women in an assortment of different boots. Tall, tan leather boots have become in-style recently in the Mid West. Though about a year ago in New York City, my best friend attending NYU started wearing them. That’s how it works here.

The best part about boots is that there isn’t just one type. Uggs are perfect for the cozy look with long flannel top, just make sure you are wearing them for function and not to make a fashion statement. Black Leather or suede flat boots are perfect for that classic jeans and all black-everything-else look. The black buckled heel-boots that just cover the ankle is perfect with a dress or a skirt. Last, but, not least, you can’t rule out the leather heel-boots that rise up to your knees. These are perfect for when your trying to add a little sophisticated flair to you're look.
