Have A Tights and Boots Day

Friday, sweet Friday. I do love my Fridays and I do love having fun with my outfits on Friday. It was the perfect Autumn day. The air was crisp and chilly and then sun was warmly glowing. And the trees! Oh, the trees. They have been changing into some of the most beautiful colors this past week.

Crocheted Bib Tee - Ross; Floral Print Skirt - Target; Slouchy Cowboy Boots - Marshalls; Military Style Jean Jacket - Marshalls

  I think because of how perfectly Fall it was that day, I felt like wearing boots. Now as I've mentioned before, lately I have been trying out new things when it comes to my own style. Boots are something I include on that list of new things. I've never really been too much of a boot person. In high school, I went through a punk/goth phase where I just had to have a pair of Doc Martens lace up boots. But beyond a couple wears, here and there, I never really got into boots.

Until I saw this pair at Marshalls. I was there looking for the perfect pair of booties but then I stumbled upon these beauties. I've been toying with the idea of cowboy boots since this summer but was not prepared for a real, authentic, and costly pair. These were perfect because they were cheap (duh, Marshalls!) and comfy. No real breaking in needed. And I just love the slouchiness of them. Since purchasing them, I've been considering other boot options. Suffice it to say, I am now a boot convert! :)

I was trying to go for a rustic, romantic look here, with a hint of funky from the tights. The coral tee has a lot of detailing for being a basic monochrome top. The sleeves have pleating (which is cute but I don't like how they look flared up in the pics!), the front has a crocheted bib and the neckline is pretty interesting. Its the kind of top I imagine a modern-day cowgirl might wear. And there's just something about the skirt that reminds me of cowgirls too. From the skirt I pulled the lavender color and was so excited to realize that I had a new pair of tights that perfectly matched it. I was so pleased with how it all looked. I know the military style jean jacket doesn't really make sense on top of all of this, but it was cold out and I had to cover up somehow!
