Not too long ago one of my favorite fashion bloggers gave me the advice: ‘In the winter, always make your splurges on great boots and fab jackets because that’s what you wear the most, and that’s what people see.’ Not sure whether to believe her {I am more of a seasonal handbag updater or special occasion dress splurger} along came the freezing cold weather and I quickly realized how right she was.

In thinking about which I wanted most, I decided on a fabulous pair of boots. Ideally I wanted something that would work day-to-night and be versatile with leggings, tights, or jeans. Yahoo! Style actually has a great Boot Guide here that features 21 different styles ranging from $27 – $2,000 dollars {talk about options!} so it was the perfect place to search. Ultimately I decided on a gorgeous pair of knee high boots – I am obsessed with the purchase!!

Once you have your dream boots, you can let all your friends know what cheap and easy stocking stuffer you need – fun socks! Yahoo! Style has a cute Gift Guide with tons of bright, bold, and cheap options here. {I actually hadn’t heard of their Gift Guides until recently, but they literally they have one for everyone on your list, from the Hair Obsessed to the Book Worm, the list is hysterical! Check out their Hashtag #YahooStyle and you will see what I’m talking about!}

So what’s this look consist of? An Alice & Olivia knit sweater {similar here by BB Dakota}, Rag & Bone grey denim {here}, and a knit infinity scarf {similar here by Kate Spade}. I had always been intrigued by knee highs, so after some research I found the Stuart Weitzman Reserve boot in suede and instantly fell in love. They have a small heel which makes them a bit more elegant than my other everyday boots, oh and did I mention knee high boots are just about the most slimming boot you can buy?! Um, sold! Looking forward to hearing what boots end up being your big splurge!!
