bootie up

there are many other things i should be doing with my time

besides thinking about fall fashions

but i can't help it right now! 

last year, i completely struck out

in the favorite bootie category.

since anything platform is out of the question for me,

{they make me look like a cartoon character}
{sometimes...a stripper}

 it was really hard to find a perfect pair.

i swear everything that was remotely simple looking 

at first glance ended up being platform. 

this year, i decided dive in early 

and give l.l. bean signature line a try.

 THEY HAVE ARRIVED. 
look great. feel great.
the leather is soft & glorious.
aaah.
they are going to look fantastic
with dressier stuff i have to wear to work
-like tweed pencil skirts-
and still rock with denim trousers. 
{i feel better about my purchases
when i can get my mix & match awn.}

seriously- what fall gear are you crushing on?

denim trousers, cardigan, tights & necklace from anthropologie
vintage belt from JenniferLillyVintage on etsy 

tank by madewell, tweed pencil skirt from j.crew

booties by l.l.bean signature.
