Over-the-Knee Boots
I hope everyone had a great holiday with their family! This break my family and I took a trip up to Connecticut and Boston. These pictures were all taken in the adorable Stonington Borough in Connecticut. I love the beautiful New England style houses and the quaint town to walk around in. The weather has been amazing, and such a nice break from the heat in Florida.
I love being able to dig my jackets out of my closet to wear up north. This is actually a vintage Brooks Brothers pea coat that belonged to my Uncle when he was a teenager. I love the blue coat with the black buttons, because you can easily wear it with both black and brown. Pea coats are really flattering and keep you nice and warm in the cold! I found an awesome similar pea coat on sale for less than $40 from Nordstrom! I found this white cable knit beanie from Francesca's, but here is a similar one from American Eagle on sale. I am also wearing my favorite over-sized cat eye sunglasses from Tory Burch (which are still on sale!)
I had to make sure I took pictures of the outfit underneath the jacket (even though I froze while I took them). I bought this BP. black and white stripe turtle neck from Nordstrom on sale! This sweater is actually a lot thicker than it looks, and is really comfortable. I love that this sweater is cropped and hits right a long the top of my high rise jeans from Topshop. You can't tell with the boots on, but the bottom of these jeans have a raw hem line that looks really cute with sandals.
I have been wanting a pair of over-the-knee boots for so long now. I have finally found the perfect pair for such a good price! I found these boots at the Steve Madden Outlet store for less than $100! Here is a similar pair of Steve Maddens for a little bit more money. I have mentioned my favorite online shoe store called GoJane in some past blog posts (Valentino's, Thankful For This Outfit, and Business Chic), and I have found some amazing over-the-knee boots from this website as well! (Here and here). I personally chose to buy the boots that don't have a heel so I could wear them as an everyday shoe. I think the heeled boots are so cute as well, and are a great shoe to wear when you are going out!
I love adding a pop of color to a black and white outfit through my purse. As you know by now, I am obsessed with purses. One of my favorite purses is the Chloe Marcie Saddle Bag. Rebecca Minkoff came out with a similar style bag called the Vanity Style Bag. I was waiting for this bag to go on sale when I found this amazing INC bag from Macy's! This is such an amazing and beautiful bag that is on sale for less than $30! I am not a fan of knock-off bags, but I do love bags that copy the style of another brand. This bag is an amazing alternative to both the Chloe and the Rebecca Minkoff purses.
