I have so many ankle boots at this point that I have a hard time justifying acquiring more. (I said a hard time, not an impossible time.) I liked the idea of white ankle boots because I didn’t already have that color, but it’s really hard finding ones that don’t look tacky. (Again, hard, not impossible.)

After lots of searching and review-reading, I finally landed on these babies, and based on the million compliments I got, I think I made the right call. They’re more ivory than white, and the crocodile texture makes them look more expensive than they are. I don’t think they’re tacky at all, and I have pretty strict standards for tackiness.

Plus, the wide heel makes them sturdier, which is great because I simply don’t have time to nurse a sprained ankle right now.

I wore this to work a couple days before Thanksgiving, and someone at my office said I looked like a pilgrim. Which is funny, because I thought this dress-boot combo felt very 60s go-go dancer. I’m not so sure the Puritans would approve of me mixing their look with a go-go dancer, but luckily they’re all dead so they can’t complain.

If you’re a go-go dancer that has a complaint about me mixing your look with a pilgrim, well, my email is under the Contact tab…
