As summer comes in and spring fades away, closets across America are transitioning from wooly sweaters and boots to cotton t-shirts and comfy jean shorts. For some reason, it seems that bright, fun colors such as red or orange are traditionally worn in the spring, while neutral colors seem to be more of a winter fad.
I personally like to dress in opposite shades. A pop of color helps perk me up during the chilly months - we all know winter drags on with endless cruelty after the holidays. Since I don't have any bright jackets or boots, I'll throw in a bright purse or hat.
Towards the end of May and the beginning of June I pack away my sweaters and scarves, PRAYING that I won't need to frantically need to dig them back out (this IS Ohio, after all....). I guess over the knee boots are considered fall/winter fashion, but I am keeping mine aout for all 4 seasons. Today I paired my black over the knee stiletto boots (Rue21) with mint jeans (Bongo) and a corresponding striped shirt. I only went to Wal-Mart but I felt fabulous.
See, my mom and brother weren't home and I was spending the day sorting through my closet - not planning on leaving - wearing the goofiest pajamas imaginable. About 3 hours into the job, my Mom texts me and says to be ready to go to Wal-Mart. Oh, I guess I also stopped in to Maurice's to pick up a light sweater I ordered (on the blog next week). I have this pair of silly pink Crocs that I wear whenever I'm to lazy to a) wear real shoes or b) find my sandals. So I grabbed the nearest pair of shoes (over the knee boots), grabbed the mint outfit and voila! I was well on my way.
I didn't get any great pictures today, but I managed to capture the general idea while I was waiting for my mom to get done at the gas station. I'll upload some more later.
Love, Leslie ♡
