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:

This not-too-intense cranberry-ish lip color is Winky Lux matte lip pill in “Bunny.” It came in my December Must Have Box courtesy of Popsugar.

We drive down to southern Indiana once or twice a year to visit Kristin’s extended family, and when we see “the Big Peach,” we know we’re almost to our destination. I remember the first time we went, Kristin told me in advance about this huge peach. Being from the Carolinas, I had seen the water tower peach along I-85, so you can imagine how underwhelmed I was at this only somewhat larger than average peach. Still, the southern Indiana peach is cuter and looks less like a butt, so it makes for a better blog photo background.

Speaking of cute, no one is shocked that I asked Santa for yet another cute J.Crew sweatshirt. Some people might be shocked that Santa deemed me nice enough to get it, but that’s between me and the big guy.
