This is what I wore Saturday night out to Worcester for a friend's birthday party. I wanted something classic and comfortable, but most of all I wanted to be warm and show off my new riding boots! It has been so cold the past few days, colder than I remember it being last winter. We've received a good amount of snow too, it's snowing right now, I love it! Last week I took advantage of a promotion through work and ordered myself a new pair of boots, a dress, and a winter jacket, everything came right in time for the negative degree weather, thank goodness or else I would still be freezing! I have never been much of a boot person- mostly because I despise socks- but they're a necessary accessory when you live in New England. I seem to have recently hit the jackpot boot-wise, because I now have them practically coming out my ears! I found another pair at the swap on Thursday that I can't wait to show off.
Anyways, like I said I wanted something classic. I kept my accessories simple with just a gold belt, and brass earrings and necklace. I love these earrings, they were kindly sent over by Noble Town Vintage and I've been wearing them non-stop. I found that once my hair reached a certain length, I stopped wearing earrings as much, because I couldn't really see them. But now I think it's all about the style you wear. These are eye-catching enough to not get lost in my tresses, but don't weigh me down either. Check back tomorrow for a chance to win a pair for yourself!
This week I'm focusing on a shop update, which was supposed to happen last week. I have a ton of stuff to list, but all that stuff needs to be ironed! And guess what?! It's my birthday week!

I am a recovering sock-despiser and have found that Target really has some pretty okay (maybe even great) tall socks. Anyway, I really dig this winter color palette you've been working!

The blazer and boots together make remind me of horse riding lessons at a private school or something. But you're way more stylish than they are! :)
This is a great Boston photo shoot. It's soo cold out side. The snow is a perfect background. Nice pics.

Perfect classic boots, I bet you'll be wearing them for years. The light in these photos is so unusual. I like how the snow really effects it.
those boots..ohhh la la!
OMG-love those boots! The entire outfit is awesome, as per usual ;)
Happy B-day week! (I love celebrating my birthday for an extensive period of time!)
I REALLY love those boots!! So much so that before I even read the rest of your post I scooted over to the J Crew website to see if they were still there! (they're not! boo.) So classic!
ADORE your boots. so much.
I agree that Target has some really cute OTK socks right now.
Loving the blazer--and what a great price!

I'll echo the Target sock recommendation (it's where I got these) and add one for H&M (where I got these). I much prefer wearing tall socks with my boots - it keeps them from slipping down and getting uncomfortably scrunched around my ankle, and they feel less like a necessity and more like an accessory when they peek up above your boot tops :)
This look is great, by the way - the super classic pairing of the fitted blazer with the riding boots lets the striped top and beautiful jewelry really shine.

Those boots are ridiculously awesome! It has been crazy-cold around here lately. And the snow just keeps a-coming. Brrr! I live in my riding boots, too. This classic-chic look you've put together is exactly the kind of outfit I'd like to live in. You've got this polished, seventies rocker chick vibe going on. Very cool. :) I have to ask: are you at all musical? Ever thought of joining a band?
i'm loving the madewell jeans i've seen you wear on the blog. these are awesome!
Love the stripes! You totally rock this outfit!
