I feel like these boots are borderline tacky depending on what I wear them with. Leopard print is funny that way. I’m keeping an eye out for a new pair of leopard booties maybe with a sleeker shape or a darker color (like these or these). so I can wear them more often. But for now, I’ll keep the ones I have, because obviously a girl can’t survive without leopard ankle boots, even borderline tacky ones.

You know what I’m a fan of? Silent auctions. They’re like competitive shopping. Much like red wine and spending Friday night at home in your sweats, silent auctions are something you don’t learn to enjoy until adulthood. If you haven’t participated in one before, I recommend it – preferably one that benefits a good cause. On Saturday I went to an art auction to benefit Indiana Youth Group, an organization that provides a safe space and programming for LGBT youths here in Indy. I snagged a really pretty print for only $40 and helped team rainbow along the way. And I had an excuse to dress a little bit fancy. If there aren’t any silent auctions in your future (so sad for you), a shift dress with metallic flats and tassel earrings would also be perfect at a holiday party!
