Hi Lovelies!
I found these boots online a month or so ago and I knew I needed them in my life. So, I ordered them, waiting impatiently for them to arrive, and then wore them around my house all night trying to decide how to wear them first. It has taken me until now to actually wear them. I tried 50 different outfits and for some reason I just didn’t like any of them. I wanted something that fit my style, something frilly or pink to make the outfit still be girly enough for me. I love all of those outfits on Pinterest with the girls in leggings and a comfy shirt, (see here, here, here, here) but they just aren’t me. Now, don’t get me wrong, I will probably be sporting that look once 40 degree weather rolls around and I don’t feel like looking presentable, but that just isn’t in my comfort zone yet. Baby steps.
Get The Look:
Combat boots: lulu’s (Similar)
Clutch: Charming Charlie (Similar)
Jewelery: Charming Charlie (Similar necklace)
Sunglasses: Aldo
Dress: Delia’s (Similar)
It might have taken me an entire month to figure it out, but I think I accomplished exactly what I was going for. The girly ruffles really help to tone down the masculinity of the boots…and by the way, those boots are super comfy. Now the hard part will be finding the next perfect outfit to wear them with…or maybe you just see me in leggings and a comfy sweater next time:)
Until tomorrow…

PS: I have had a couple questions about my bun. I have enough hair, just not enough talent to make a bun without a sock bun shaper. Here is one for only $5!

I love the hard and soft approach. The clutch goes perfectly as well. Those boots are super cute and adds an edge to your girlie look.
Thanks! That was the hope. Edgy, but not TOO edgy! lol!
Nailed it! 😀 Cute, cute, cute! The purse is perfect – and I love the colors in the dress.
Thank you! I have gotten so much use out of that little clutch it is ridiculous!
Love those boots!! I’m with you, I’ve been dying to buy some combat like boots but I’m not sure how to make them “me”. I think the outfit is fabulous!
Thank you, Celeste! It was such a struggle not to look like I was trying too hard. I needed girly, but not TOO girly!
I have a pair of combat boots and LOVE them. Comfy and functional. Although, I haven’t worn them with a cute dress, like you!
They are SO comfortable, I love them!
Cute look girly! I agree with you! Sometimes we get items that are on trend or that we think we will like, then once we get them and it’s actually time to fit a certain piece into our wardrobe we draw a blank, you look great here though! Lovin those boots!

I do this quite often really…haha! Usually I end up returning whatever it is, but I realllllly wanted this one! They are so comfy and I will just have to get over leggings and a plaid shirt with combat boots not being “my style” lol:)

Thanks, Jennifer! I love them! Help me figure out what else to wear them with! lol!
