One Boot, Five Looks

marshalls_leather_riding_boots

Boots are my go-to footwear in fall and winter. I know you know this because I talk about them as much as I talk about red high heels. Maybe I should start another blog called “A Mom in Cool Boots”…but, it just doesn’t have the same ring, does it?

If you are not embracing the look of boots I want to you to see how easy it is to take one pair of flat boots and create a variety of looks! For this feature, flat riding boots will be our footwear of choice but you can easily translate the look with slouchy suede boots or any other flat or low heel boots. All five of these looks work for a mom’s schedule and are far more stylish than jeans and tennis shoes, but equally as comfortable and functional!

These looks come from the off-price leader, Marshalls. Putting together the outfits won’t cost you a fortune when you shop at Marshalls!

1. Preppy
Get preppy by layering a plaid, ruffled blouse under a long detailed cardigan. Tuck gray skinny pants into the boots and belt the sweater to pull it all together. When it comes to handbags for this look – grab a soft leather oversized tote to keep you organized and stylish.

2. Dress Up
Pair flat boots with your favorite floral dress and patterned tights for a classic flirty and functional look. Layer in one of the hottest trends this season, the boyfriend blazer, and add a statement necklace after office hours for a cool and casual date night. For a funky twist, an animal print bag will finish off the look.

3. Fall Floral
Try these boots with dark skinny jeans, a floral blouse in fresh fall colors and a sleeveless fringe sweater to transform a traditional night out! Add a statement necklace and an eggplant purple handbag for an irresistible look!

4. Boho Chic
Layering is key to the sought-after boho look. Break out your inner boho and mix and match your boots with leggings and a colorful, belted cardigan for the ultimate bohemian foundation. Add whimsical accessories such as leather headbands, stacked bracelets or layered necklaces to bring out your inner bohemian

5. Skirt the Trend
Get creative with the must-have boot and add some edge to your office look. Start with a textured fitted skirt, and a bright ruffled blouse for a pop of color under the updated bomber jacket. Add bold accessories such as statement rings or layered necklaces for a little pizzazz!
