Ahhhh....boot season is finally upon us. Even though it is not as cold as I would like it to be for the first of October, I went ahead and pulled out the winter boot assortment in anticipation. These boots are one of my favorite options because of the fun lace up detail. I have a shoe obsession and gravitate toward options that add interest to any outfit whether through details like the lace up or even in coloration. But before you stock up on special shoes, it is good to already have your basics covered. A standard tall black boot can take you through multiple seasons. They can be worn over and under pants as well as mixed with tights and a skirt or dress combination. The options are endless!
