I've fallen victim to the fall bootie craze and I blame Pinterest for my latest indulgence! I picked up these booties from Ross dress for Less. I love that they look a bit cowboy bootish. I've always wanted a pair but haven't been brave enough to actually follow through on purchasing any.
You know how you see things on other people and it looks good, but you feel like it looks weird on you. That's exactly how I feel about cowboy boots and up until recently about booties.
I scored this black suede Carlos Santana pair and a brown Nine West pair from Ross Dress for Less, both were less than $60 including tax. I tried finding a thrift pair but feared the season would be over long before I found a suitable pair. I mean who would just give a away a pair of booties that are in good enough condition to wear with a skirt.
I paired my new booties with:
-Burgundy ("Oxblood" as some may say) Cropped Sweater (Velvet-Thrifted)
-Tweed look skirt (it has pockets! Do you know how much I love skirts and dresses with pockets? A lot! It's so functional. (Ann Taylor - Thrifted)
-Donna Karan Opaque tights
The sweater and skirt were purchased at a Goodwill Outlet during my recent weekend getaway. Who goes thrifting on vacation? This girl! Everything was a $1.83/lb. Talk about a good haul! I picked up about 76 items that day and spent $65. Good times!
So my 10yr old walks in, takes one look at me in my outfit and says, "WOW MOMMY, you look young." He said this with a serious emphasis on the young. How RUDE!?! But THANKS!
