the study of flat leather boots
12 May
Round toe, flat, leather riding boots with studded detail at ankle, from Bohme.
It’s a typical Rocky Mountain Spring around these parts, we go from 70 degrees to snow and then back again in the same week and this cycle hasn’t stopped since March. I predict that it will probably snow once or twice more before we hit triple-digit temperatures. The last few days have been rainy, gray, and downright freezy–on Monday we hit a new record for lowest recorded temperature in 80 years! I don’t mind the chill, and I certainly don’t mind that it is summer temperatures elsewhere because the combination of those two factors means that I found and purchased these boots for $20 dollars over the weekend, and can still get a wear or two out of them before summer hits! Win-win!
Blue linen dress with smocked top, puffy sleeves, and cut-outs at the hem. Paired with a fresh tank and well-loved denim blazer this sundress becomes office appropriate. I love that the boots and thrifted belt compliment each other so well.
For the most part, I wear the same jewelry day in and day out: a Tiffany bracelet and a pair of diamond earrings. However, lately I have tried branching out a bit to incorporate some fun jewelry, different colors, statement pieces, etc. These bangles were purchased together–I’m not skilled enough to mix them myself yet, baby steps here–and I fell in-love with the cocktail ring the moment I saw it.

Ok, so I realize this has previously been only footwear, and while I still will include my shoes in every single post, I will also include outfits, accessories, and probably a story or two from my life as well. We’ll see how it goes, wish me luck!
Next time you find boots for $20 please call me. And then buy me some too! Love that dress too, very cute.
Yes, but they only had one pair in my/your size…and I wanted to keep them. So…um, maybe next time? Maybe?

Cute! I like that you’re showing us your full outfit. Sometimes, I wonder what you pair your shoes with (especially the glittery or satiny ones).
What a steal on the boots! I have a huge weakness for knee high boots.
I have a hard time finding knee-high boots that fit my runner’s calves, I was thrilled that these ones did! Love it!

Just so you know I also love $20 shoes and we don’t happen to wear the same size
I’m with Mandi
. Next time you find $20 boots that fabulous remember I’m a size 8 1/2, please. I’m good for it. And I live near your sister, Pink, so you won’t even have to ship them to me.

Perfect weather for boots and a cotton dress. This is probably my very favorite look.
Thank you!! I loved how this combo turned out, I’ll most likely be wearing it again and again.
