I’ve seen Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion at least a dozen times. It has some great quotes: “Would you excuse me? I cut my foot before, and my shoe is filling up with blood.” “I invented Post-Its.” “I was so lucky getting mono. That was like the best diet ever.” “You look so good with blond hair and black roots it’s like not even funny.” I could go on. And I will.

You know how Romy and Michele have the fight over who’s the Mary and who’s the Rhoda? Add “No, I’M THE MARY!” to that list of R&M quotes I use on the reg. Well, I’m embarrassed to say that I had never actually seen the Mary Tyler Moore show until recently when my more pop-culture-fluent other half put it on just after MTM died. First of all, I love it, and I’m watching it right now. Second, I am totally the Rhoda. Like, there’s no question. I’m not entirely sure why Romy and Michele fought over being the Mary, when Rhoda is the sassier one. So I am now officially declaring that I’m the Rhoda, and I’m proud of it.

And in case it wasn’t obvious, in Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion, I’m Heather Mooney.

I got to work around 9 on Friday, and by 10 I had already gotten at least three compliments on these boots. I wear cute shoes all the time (as you know) so I can only assume these are remarkable because not many people brave ankle boots that aren’t your basic black or brown.

Not me, friends. I will boldly go where no boot has…well this is getting cheesy, but you get the idea. My best advice for styling uniquely colored boots is to keep it easy. Just match the boots to a sweater and throw on some dark wash skinny jeans. There are definitely more interesting things to do with burgundy suede booties, but for those of us who work in a law office in the Midwest, matchy matchy with jeans is a good casual Friday option.

You can find my burgundy sweater here and boots here (both on sale!), and below are a few more matchy matchy sweater/boot combos I came up with for your viewing / shopping / outfit planning pleasure:
