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:

On a rainy holiday, we did what absolutely everyone else was doing and went to the movies. We saw La La Land (again, along with ev.ery.one. else). I really liked it, but I didn’t love it. I’d consider myself a connoisseur of the old-school movie musical, so I probably critiqued it more than I would a normal movie. The high point: Emma Stone acted the shit outta that one song. The low point: I couldn’t hang with the planetarium scene. The mid point: I was pleasantly surprised by both leads’ dance skills overall, but Emma’s arms aren’t very graceful.

Speaking of graceful…
