Whew, it’s been a while since I’ve posted an outfit. Here’s why: I don’t feel like wearing anything besides the simplest of combinations while I wait out the rest of this summer weather. So I present to you the most interesting outfit I could muster: jeans, a tee, and ankle boots. Top it with red lipstick and navy hair, and it’s as good as it’s gonna get this week!
I’ve been loving the proportion of these little booties—they are clunky without feeling too bottom-heavy, and I recommend boots cut low and close-in to the ankle like these for girls who are paranoid about making their legs look shorter. These are the ankle boots for petite-legged ladies! I can’t wait to wear them with tights…CAN’T WAIT.

Laurel, I need a piece of ankle boot advice. What color socks do you don when you wear the boots during colder months with those kinds of jeans (slim leg, somewhat tapered)? Do you try to blend with the color of the boot, the color of the jean…?
I would blend the colors of pants/tights to the boots if you want your leg to appear longer–same color socks too. Or you can just do colors that “go” and have fun with it–just a little peek of sock is super cute. I made this ankle boots video last year if you want to check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAJO7-QgKKo&feature=plcp
Loved it! And fantastic music choice! Thanks so much, Laurel.
What is the style/maker of those boots? Madewell?
I do love them as well.
Yep, Madewell, Elizabeth! Thanks!
