Gray OTK Boots - 2 Casual Ways.
This is the third Winter I have had/am wearing these Taupe-ish/Gray Over-the-Knee Boots. Over the last couple of weeks, for some casual mid-week daily stuff, I wore them to run errands, pick up Vivian from daycare, etc. Neither of these are work Outfits, just "Mom-on-the-go" type of Outfits. Coincidentally, both times I paired these OTK Boots with Denim (Chambray Shirt for the first outfit + Acid-wash Jeans for the second outfit). I also, wore my Black Turtleneck both times and even carried the same Red+White Purse. Well that happens, since I am all about remixing my closet. Let's look at each outfit in more detailing.
I hadn't worn this Mini Skirt from E.L.S. in all the months I have had it (since early Summer). It is definitely a Light, Summery material but with some Thick Gray Tights creating a Monochrome effect with the OTK Boots, it worked. The Mini looks more modest this way, also. I layered my Anchor-Print Chambray over my Black Turtleneck and added my Lariat, Silver Chain+Turquoise Necklace and some Red Lipstick.
Chambray Shirt w/ tiny White Anchors: The Limited (similar by Land's End), (sleeveless option, love this, best deal).
Black+White Snow Leopard Mini Skirt: c/o E.L.S. (similar by Loft, love this), (gorgeous option by Velvet, on sale, love this), (fit+flare option, love this).
Black, Thin Jersey-Stretch, Long-Sleeve Turtleneck: Express (very similar by Ralph Lauren, love this), (very similar), (long-sleeve, ribbed option by VS, best deal, love this).
Long Silver-tone Necklace w/ Silver Circles & Big Turquoise Stones: A Local Boutique. (New) (similar, love this), (gorgeous option by Kendra Scott), (similar long beaded necklace, best deal).
Red+White, Envelope-shaped Cross-body Bag: A Local Accessories Boutique (New) (similar, best deal), (similar, red + tan, great deal), (similar, Kate Spade option, on sale, love this).

Taupe-Charcoal, Over-the-Knee Boots: Purchased in Tirana (very similar by Nine West, on sale, love these), (similar, best deal), (similar in Cognac, love these).
For this second, even more casual outfit I wore my Acid-Wash Jeans with my Dark Red Cardigan over the Black Turtleneck. I kept warm with my Off-White Puffer Vest and my Pink Neon-Striped Scarf by Gap (which I love). And like I mentioned yesterday, more Red, Black and Blue in these outfits. What do you think? Do you own a pair of OTK Boots yet? I want some simple, dressy Black ones, hopefully in Real Leather.
Dark Red 3/4-Sleeve Cardigan w/ Silver Disco-ball Buttons: White House Black Market (very similar by J. Crew), (similar V-neck option, by J.Crew, on sale, love this), (similar, best deal).

Ada I love these on you! The tie on the back is such a fun detail! The grey is a great shade and as you have shown goes with anything.

two great looks with your boots, love them both, So funny your boards in the next post, I have looked at that red dress many times, I love it. Great style options.
ReplyDeleteThose boots look incredible on you! I like both looks a lot!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these outfits are so perfect for winter. At first I thought your chambray shirt had polka dots and was similar to mine, but I see there are anchors. I have been wanting a white puffer, love it with the pink. I need a pair of grey boots, too... just got some grey skinnies and love them!
ReplyDeleteFun look back at your OKB! I have a pair of black ones that I've kept a couple of years and have really enjoyed them.
