Day 37---Dark Brown Ankle Boots




I have had these boots for a couple of years now and sadly I do not wear them often. I totally should! When I first bought them, they were sort of in style and then they weren't in style at all and now they are back in style. Phew! Just goes to show how "fickle" fashion can be! I'm never getting rid of anything! It might come back in style!!!!

Do you remember Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line "Bitten" that was sold at Steve&Barry's??? Well, these are "Bitten" and I bought them from the Steve&Barry's at the Block. I bought them right before I started student teaching because I really needed to "class up" my wardrobe....aka....it was NOT going to be okay for me to wear flipflops or my FUGGS to class as a teacher. Dang!

These boots are super cool. They have a little side zipper with a bow detail at the top of the back of the boot. They have a round pointed toe and a totally acceptable Heel Height. (of the utmost importance, duh!) I love that they are now back in style! Even one of my cheerleaders told me today that SHE OWNS THESE SHOES! (she's super stylish and apparently has been since middle school...Middle/High School were not the "Fashion Show" back in my day that they are now!)

What I love about ankle boots is that they can be worn with skirts (if you're daring, have long legs, and are not worried about looking like you have "cankles"---calf-ankles), they can also be worn with long pants and they look just like any other pair of boots, but they are not as restricting (nice!), or they can be worn how I chose to wear them today, with a slouchy pair of boyfriend denim jeans cuffed up, a loose t-shirt, and--as always--some cute accessories. These shoes are truly versatile. Too bad that the "Bitten" brand seems to have gone by the wayside; they had some really cute and inexpensive items.

I can't believe that I am ALREADY on Day 37! Wild! I am really getting down to the "nitty gritty" of my shoe wardrobe....yikes! You are going to start seeing some super interesting shoes---readers BEWARE!
