Boot Camp!

Welcome to Boot Camp!

Don't be scared, I'm not going to ask you to drop and give me 100 push-ups, but feel free if you feel so inclined :-)

We'll go through some style drills and hopefully you'll achieve some gains to boot ;-)

I don't think it's possible to live in a country that rains 150 days per year and not own a few pairs of boots. They're a wardrobe staple. A must have puddle jumping accessory.

Luxury designer houses and the high street alike are giving us biker boots, boots adorned with buckles/zips/sequins, Western styles and interestingly quirky heels. I especially love the styles in the below grid.

Here are some of the ways I like to style my boots:

Dress (long or short) + Ankle/Knee high Boots:

Pair your trusty black ankle boots with a printed floral dress. Add a belt to cinch in the waist and add structure to a long dress.
I love Western boots with long flowy dresses. It's such a cool boho vibe.

Colourful Jumper + Midi-Skirt + Colourful Boots:

Combine ankle boots with a colourful jumper and a midi skirt. You can either show a hint of skin between the hemline and boots or opt for a maxi-length skirt that covers your ankles or a knee high boot.

Short Skirt + T-Shirt + Blazer + Knee High Boots:

I adore this look and I think if done properly can look less Pretty Woman and more The Devil Wears Prada :-). I wear a kitten heel boot but it would be very chic with a nice chunky heeled pair.
The sequins boots in the Style File are not for the faint of heart but, what a showstopper! Worn with an all black outfit would look amazing. Much easier to style that you think.

Leather Shorts + Shirt + Blazer + Ankle Boots:

Leather shorts look great with a long black boot to elongate the legs.
Add a shirt and layer an oversized blazer on top and voila!

Skinny Pants + Jumper/Shirt/T-Shirt/Shirt Dress/Waistcoat:

The options are endless here and so easy to dress up or down your outfit with chosen boots.
Skinny leather pants with biker boots screams cool! Loving the tan coloured biker boots in the Style File (linked below).

Hiking Boots + Yoga Pants:

The comfort, the cosiness, the warm ankles, I could go on. This combo is akin to chips with salt or crisps with chocolate - so good!

I hope you enjoyed Boot Camp - it wasn't too strenuous at all now was it :-)

Thanks for reading and check out the boots below which are all linked for you.

Have a bootiful day!
