Outfit of the Day: I Got New Boots, Y'all.

I am literally just posting an outfit because I got new boots and want to show them off. Did I need new boots? No. No I did not. However, I recently sold a couple of pairs so I had unnecessary boot money burning a hole in my pocket. Anyway, let's start here:


Pretty basic jeans 'n tee outfit going on so I'll get that out of the way. My t-shirt is the Madewell Whisper slub v-neck that I love, even in weird sale colors. (I really want the long sleeve version too but I'll wait for a sale.) My jeans are also, you guessed it, Madewell. They're an older version of the high rise skinny crop, which I like because they're a good length to wear with ankle boots. There is a light wash version on sale here and a few sizes left in this medium wash.



We're gonna add a big cardigan and a bag as if I'm going somewhere. My sweater is by Design History and I bought it last year, maybe? Time has no shape anymore. It's great - heavy and warm but not itchy. It also apparently comes in a mock neck version which would look terrible on me, but maybe cute on you. For a cheap and cheerful leopard cardigan option, this one is pretty cute


Okay, the boots! They're Dr Martens Leonore Sherpa Chelsea boots and I've wanted them for two years. They weren't available in my size last year so I got a different style instead. (Don't do this! Just wait for the thing you really want.) They're so freaking cute, you guys. They're sherpa lined and very cozy and have a great Chelsea shape with classic Doc styling. I can't wait to wear them all winter until you guys are like, PLEASE WEAR ANY OTHER SHOES.  I bought my normal size (UK 6/US8) and they're perfect, though, as with most Docs, they will require a bit of breaking in. Anyway, they're cute as hell and very good for winter. The end. Not really, here are some details: 


I'm wearing my favorite labradorite tassel pendant because I like how my weird green shirt vibes with the green in the stones. For other fun tassel necklace ideas, I love this one by Alexis Bittar and Target has a cute one too! My earrings are my amazing moonstone drops from Three Flames Silverworks. 


Here's a better look at my awesome new boots! If you love the idea of a sherpa-lined boot but prefer it in a classic 8-hole laced style, they make that too. I'M SORRY OKAY. I just want you to have warm feet this winter. I'm also carrying my very old MBMJ hobo bag, which is still one of my favorites. It's only available now secondhand, but NR has a really similar style in a pretty wine color and Off Fifth has it in a few more colors

PS.


When I take outfit photos I take a LOT of them and easily half of them look like this because remote timers crap out a lot. It's pretty much the expression I have on my face most of the time anyway, so bonus!

  2. Question for you, do you wear socks with the boots? And do little pieces of sherpa come off on your feet or socks or ankles? I have a pair of lined Tretorns, and if I wear socks my feet slide all around, but if I don't wear socks the fuzz sheds all over my feet.

    1. I do wear them with socks but haven’t gotten a chance to wear them much yet, so not sure how the Sherpa will hold up.

  3. Gah, I covet those boots so much! I have heard they can be tight across the top of the foot - are you finding this to be the case?

    1. Yes, a little bit. They’ll definitely require a break-in period and I think the faux fur just needs to get compressed a bit.
