When: a week or 2 ago // Weather: really cold // Real life: work then casual dinner date

With all the ridonculously cold weather we had the first half of January (before it turned 50 degrees and rainy for a week… #onlyinIndiana), I had to get creative with layering. I really liked how this came out, so I re-created it and took photos when it was dry and above freezing for about 10 minutes over the weekend.

Without the belt, this is straight up old bag lady feeding pigeons in the park. (My purse is filled with tuppins.) But it’s amazing what a waist and a little leopard can do. My bottom half stayed cozy thanks to fleece tights, plus black socks hiding under my boots.

When: Friday // Weather: 20s // Real life: work

Sweater (on sale) // similar Scarf (on sale) // Coat // Jeans // Boots (on sale) // similar Bag // Earrings

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:
