ModCloth Rhythm & Boot: A little folk music

Hat, Belt, Necklace, Bracelets: Vintage
When ModCloth contacted me about styling an outfit around their very own "Today I Met The Perfect Boots", I was so excited. And then when I heard the details, that I would be styling a folk music themed outfit, I did a little dance. I love folk! Just like Maria, I was a little worried at first that my outfit wouldn't be "folk" enough, but then I realized that my fall wardrobe already is folk-inspired: it's warm, cozy, and a little bit vintage, just like the best folk music. So I went with that I loved: a blue tunic-dress, my favorite vintage belt, some cozy thigh-highs, and a vintage felt topper.

I also loved the challenge of styling an outfit around these boots, at first glance they don't scream "folk-sy" but I made it work. I balanced the black boots with a black cardigan, and everything just came together.
