Bitchin' Boots

Even though it's 75 degrees in good 'ole Chitown, that doesn't stop me from making a post about my obsession with boots/booties. I, personally, wear them all throughout the year because I think that they're versatile, which is why I think it's time to shell out the extra $$$ and invest in some good ones. Ones that will be your best freind. Ones that will get scuffed and look like they're meant to be that way. Ones that you can have 4 years down the road and you won't get tired of. Ones that you love like your favorite movie while you're cuddled in bed during a gloomy rainy day. Yeah....those are the ones. So I'm still scavanging for the perfect pair, but my coworker and friend, Fawn, just bought some gorgeous ones in her favorite color mix - they're her version of the perfect pair, they're so unique and let's face it...they're the bomb! I thought I'd take a look around the net and there's some contenders that fit my description a couple lines above, and the other ones are just fun boots/booties I'd love to have.

OOTD: Metallic & Oxblood

Definitely having a case of the 'Lazy Sunday's' but because the weather has been confusingly warmer (not that I'm complaining!), I decided to sort-of "dress up". This outfit is so comfy but still manages to look like there was a bit of effort to it, when in reality...I just threw everything on without thinking about it. Of course, I had to pull my hair up in a messy bun so no hair would be in my face. Funnily enough, as I type this out I realize I have not worn anything (from my outfit) before! But two of the newest items are my black bucket bag and new boots (which were described in the color of 'Oxblood'). Decided I would post up this outfit of the day (OOTD) since its been a while and I have to thank my sister for taking the pictures! I hope everyone's having a fabulous weekend. Enjoy!

OOTD: Chunky Knit Sweater Dress

Today marks the end of my last Fall semester at the university and I couldn't have ended it better than with my Politics of Fashion class. There were so many eclectic personalities in that course and they really drove me to challenge notions of fashion in society. 

I probably committed my own fashion 'no-no's ' today by 1) Wearing a dress that is too long (the back of it, that is) on my 5 foot stature  and 2) Wearing black and shades of brown together. Who cares?! I like the contradicting pieces, I was comfortable, warm and felt that it really is a testament to how I like to style myself; not according to trends, but according to my tastes. 

I finally was able to wear my chunky knit sweater dress that I picked up in New York a bit over a month ago. I love how warm it keeps me and the little details of the slouchy pockets to the elbow patches on to the back of it being much longer than the front; it makes me love it even more. It has such personality! I spruced up the outfit with my favorite and newest purchase: the spiked headband! Thankfully it was a hit and interested people. I also had to throw on the obligatory rings that I am currently obsessing and collecting (pun intended because of my blog URL name, haha) 

If there's one way to identify what I love, it would have to be: nail polish, rings and shoes. I feel like those things encompass "me" and it helps that people already code me with those pieces.

Anywho, enjoy the post and the Christmas movies playing on ABC Family!
