Winter Shoe Wardrobe + A Cute Knee-High Boot!

I’ve established already how much of an ankle boot girl I am, but in the dead of winter I like to have a little bit more warmth on my legs! In my knee-high boot owning history, I’ve only ever bought leather or fake leather brown boots.

But I loved the look of these suede ones from Nordstrom (which I got on major sale!). I also loved that the zip was in the back, that was a fun detail to me that made the boots feel a little unique. I have found seriously awesome items at Nordstrom this year, and usually always find things during great sales!

I donated an old pair of cheap knee-high boots upon introducing these to my wardrobe, and noticed that my entire shoe collection is full of shoes I really like and get a ton of wear out of. Gone are the days of trying to wear high heels or super high wedges. I’m only looking for footwear that is easy to wear, totally my style, and functional for my busy life. I need my shoes to go from park or playdate to running errands, and then to a dinner date with friends.

I picked a variety from Nordstrom to represent the versatile options I have to choose from. And basically they fall into 4 categories: sneakers, booties & boots, weather boots (only because it’s winter, normally this category would be replaced by sandals) and flats.

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

The color of my boots is called Otter Suede, and it’s like a mix of brown, grey and olive. And depending on what shirt I’m wearing, one of those tones will stick out more than the other. It’s a dark enough, and neutral enough color to really be worn with almost everything in my wardrobe too, which is just want I wanted.

I’m in Chicago this week and these, and some winter weather boots, are the only footwear I brought! And with temperatures in the single digits, I’m definitely glad I left my ankle boots at home for this trip!

My bag is from fotostrap, my jeans are AG, and my sweatshirt is very old from Lou & Grey.
