Another element I absolutely LOVE about Fall {as if layering, fur, and jewel tones weren’t enough} is the opportunity to wear tall boots! I finally took a few of my boots out of storage last night and couldn’t wait to pair this brown pair up with my little lace skirt. Since this skirt is a bit shorter than my normal just-above-the-knee skirts, these knee high boots are the perfect option to provide a little more cover-up while still looking classy for the office.
I’m also trying something new and wearing two belts today! Layering at its finest, right? The wider brown belt is actually worn backwards {see forwards look here} and I just layered the gold skinny one on top. The choice is both functional and visually interesting: the wide brown belt helps cinch in some of the extra fabric from the shirt as well as hold up the skirt {it’s big for my waist} while the gold skinny belt adds a nice pop of shiny metallic color. Fortunately I was able to untuck the shirt just enough in the back too so that the belt buckle wasn’t too visible either. Hopefully people weren’t looking at me like I was a crazy…
Oh, and I love these statement earrings. Best $3.80 ever.

Crochet with boots?! I gotta try that soon — thanks for the inspiration, Kileen!
Carrie Higa says
I would never have thought of putting together the boots, skirt and top, but the colors harmonize beautifully. Also like how you used your two belts!

You're on a roll with re-teasing me with your clothes I'm super jealous of- first the mustard pants and now this skirt 🙂 So sad both are unavailable 🙁 I love how you styled it- that blue color of the top is gorgeous on you and the layered belts add so much cool visual interest!

Kileen says
oh i'm so sorry i'm teasing you with unavailable items! but you can also re-create this look with a simple cream pencil skirt too and it would look just as nice! 🙂
SkippySays says
I'm just teasing 🙂 I love seeing you in these adorable pieces I covet 🙂 And hopefully I'll find similar ones I love soon enough!

I love the boot + crochet skirt combo! Fierce and sweet.
On another note, I was browsing e-bay and came upon this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-M-Fall-Limited-Collection-Scalloped-Hem-Wool-Shorts-SZ-4-last-1-/220877328588?pt=US_CSA_WC_Shorts&hash=item336d5090cc
I'm not sure if that's seller you or not (I don't think so, since you mentioned that you're from Texas), but I'm pretty sure those are your pictures!
