White boots: yes or no?

Share

Why bury the lede? My answer is yes...under very specific conditions.  One day I was innocently online browsing, as one does, when I scrolled past the most beautiful pair of white boots.  Up until that point, I never would have considered buying white boots.  There isn't a practical thing to say about them; they will get ruined the first time I wear them outside! I'm proud to say, my self-control and common sense kicked in, and I continued scrolling.  

From that day on, I saw white boots everywhere.  Scrolling through my Instagram, some of my favorite fashion bloggers were wearing them.  Commuting to work I'd pass a beautiful pair that was shockingly clean.  Every pair I saw looked amazing.  They were haunting me, which usually means my self-control is waining, and it's only a matter of time before I break down and buy them.  

Spoiler alert, I totally bought them.  Before I did, I put a lot of thought into how I can make a seriously impractical purchase slightly more practical.  First, I created at least four outfits around my white boots using items that were already in my closet that I wouldn't necessarily have worn with any other shoes in my closet.  Then I promised myself that I would only wear my white boots with the conditions were perfect.  No bad weather or meetings across town (I definitely got caught in the rain while wearing them, but it wasn't my fault!).  I would change my shoes at the office when I got to work and change them again before heading home.  The only outside walking my white boots would see is the quick trip across the street to grab lunch!

After lots of pondering, I finally pulled the trigger and now own a pair of beautiful white boots, and they do not disappoint.  These boots can make a simple outfit special and add a feeling of "spring is coming" to even the coldest days.  In a way, I feel these boots in a small way battle off the winter blues.  I'm challenging the pesky freezing weather that won't end by adding winter white and feeling fabulous while doing so.  The best part: as the weather finally decides to warm up, these boots will be crucial to take me right through spring in the city.

Comfy, one-piece outfits and Birks. My summer work-from-home uniform ☀️ I’ve done lots of cozy jumpsuit research and the @everlane luxe cotton jumpsuit is one of my favorites. Comes in six colors and under $70! The black-on-black leather Arizon
Hello 👋 checking in to say hi—I hope everyone is doing ok. I took a break from posting outfit inspo because there are much more important issues that should be taking up your feed right now. Keep listening, keep actioning, keep loving. I&rsquo
With so much uncertainty, it’s time to focus on really smart purchases. There’s nothing more reasonable than a dress that works for every season, and I’ve got the one! I styled my slip dress four different ways, one for each season.
If I was going to the office today, this is what I’d wear. Instead, I’m in my #wfh sweats perched in front on another Zoom meeting 🙃
Jax and I are settling into our new normal. For him it’s a whole lot more cuddles and longer walks. For me it’s a new way to wear a neckerchief, among manyyy other things.
