This look all started with the shoes. I've been loving these booties since I was at home over Thanksgiving. My mom (a styling genius) was looking to update a pair of black shoes and I stumbled upon this pair of booties by Kendall + Kylie helping her look for the perfect pair. While I didn't need another pair of black booties and they weren't in the style my mom was looking for, the tan color really caught both of our attention. (Plus, they also come in oxblood if that's more to your styling preference.) I love the unique heel design, the narrow ankle and exaggerated pointed toe, they're just super cool, but also a great basic to have. Fast forward to the January sales and I found them at an amazing price.
As someone with very long legs I've always found styling a slightly taller ankle boot problematic. My real jeans and pants are too long, but most crop styles are wayyyy too cropped. So what's a girl to do? My tip for you is to turn to a great pair of suede(ette) leggings. I grabbed this pair from my friends at Cake Plate in Napa, but there are so many styles available. This pair has a cool zipper detail at the ankle, but for this look I simply cuffed them under to shorten the leg and show off my shoes. You could also stick with a great midi skirt for the perfect styling, but it was a little too cold in Portland for light and flowy looks.
Last, but definitely not least, if you need a white top (and let's be honest everyone does) go pick this one up from Nordstrom. It's on sale right now and I wear mine constantly. It looks awesome dressed up with trousers, skirts or black denim and pumps, but looks just as great dressed down and tucked into a pair of distressed denim shorts. It comes in a ton of colors and will quickly become one of your closet go-tos! It's definitely one of mine!
Love you lots,
