How to boot it.

I don't claim to be any sort of a fashion know-how and must profess that for a little while, I was anti-boot. But, if you're like me (any of the following: have been wearing the same red payless sneakers for the past 3+ years, don't like re-tying shoelaces, tend to get cold feet [literally]), you will quickly find that boots may just be among your favorite footwear. 

First off, you must have boots.

 Next, explore your options. 

With a shorter skirt.

 Add some tights in for some flair.

 Sport them with a long skirt/dress.

 Mix and match with your favorite tops. Longer shirts and cardigans work well with the boot look to give it a more down-to-earth feel. Target has some great layering basics right now.

 Or, if you're feeling bold, pair it with the belt look 

(see Lindsey's prior post if the idea of a belt scares you).
