Fashion is not Just about Clothes...It's about Confidence and Self Expression

What's Up with the Name?




While scanning thru vintage photos of family, I discovered some wonderful pics of my grandmother. When she and my grandfather were dating, she would take snapshots of herself in great outfits and send them to him during WWII. (see some of the pics and read more about her along with the other amazing women who all had a hand in my passion in the post "How it All Began") She always wrote a sweet message and signed the back "all my love, Myra". The very best part is that these were not just pictures, they were a glimpse into her playful side and who she was at the time. I realized she also shared my love for fashion...it was a great discovery!

Boots..what to do?

With all the cool boots out this season...even though Spring merchandise is coming in Feb....we still have time to talk about them...and plenty of time left to wear them!
I get asked the question all the time....how do I wear these boots??
You have to first start with your body type. (Follow that rule for all trends)

Keep in mind..........

Skinny/slim jeans

If you feel comfortable with tucking your medium/high boot in go for it! However, remember, it could make your legs look shorter.

You can wear your boots under your jeans but be sure the boot doesn’t stick to your jeans!

Don’t tuck your jeans in or roll under with an ankle boot!!YUK

Boot cut jeans

Universally flattering!!!

Rock them with any boot under your jeans! Heels are best....

Be sure your hemline is appropriate. You want them to just show a little beyond your toe.

Jeggings

Best to tuck in your boot! No matter what height your boot is! But be sure the entire outfit looks great, don’t just do it to show off your awesome boots!!!

Cuffing your jeans

Cuff your jeans with boots that are “slim” around the ankle. You don’t want them to stick to you boot. Be sure the cuff is messy not to perfect.

Boyfriend jeans work great for this look.

One exception….a messy cuff with a sweater boot and a comfy casual sweater on top is a great weekend look!

Tips:

Wear your boot with a heel to add height and leg length.

Be sure to check your hem length before leaving the house when wearing your jeans over your boot!

Be careful, short thick boot and boots that fold over at the top can add bulk to your legs, unless your a super model!

Know what looks good on your body type and stick to that…don’t wear it b/c it’s the trend…if the overall look doesn’t work for you, it won’t look fab anyhow!!!

Be sure your boots are made for walking....if they aren't comfortable it won't matter how cute they are!!!

With so many boots to chose from it can be over-whelming...keep your boots in line with your life style.
