'Fall'ing for Boots


Hey Everyone!! Since this is my first post I figured I should probably post about my personal favorite... BOOTS <3. Autumn is every boot lovers favorite time of year! With the season comes all the latest boot fashions (but to be honest they do not really change all that much from year to year)! This leaves us with a great opportunity to find trendy boots for cheap.  Too often we are misled to think that websites like 'Zappos' or 'DSW' are the best place to find cheap shoes, but they run out of sizes really quick and aren't that cheap. There are many different types of boots; thigh high, knee high, ankle booties, cowboy boots...etc. Within every boot there are sub-categories for material and color. All these different types of boots can get really overwhelming! But ill let you in on a little secret.... You can make your wardrobe complete with only 3 pairs of boots! If you are a savvy shopper this can easily be done for less than 75 dollars. On websites like Shoes19.com you can find each type of boot you are looking for for around 25 dollars or less.

3 Essential Boots For Any Wardrobe

To make sure your boots keep you warm and dry I would suggest Danner Waterproofing Gel (Available here). It runs about 10 dollars and works on both leather and fabric.

When choosing which color is best for you make sure you take into consideration which colors you wear most often.

**High Boot
Everyone should have a pair of high boots in their closet. The best way to make use of a pair of high boots is to get a boot that can be converted to either a below the knee boot or a knee high boot.

When choosing which color is best for you make sure you take into consideration which colors you wear most often. This style boot style is good for long legs.

These Kalisa boots can be found on Shoes19 for $19.99! Although these boots cannot fold down, the ruffled boot is the perfect edition to any outfit from, jeans to leggings these boots hug your legs but end 1-3" below the knee making this style better for people with short legs.









** Cold Weather Boots


When it comes to cold weather boots UGG boots are great but also bare a hefty price. There are many cheaper alternatives that hold up just as nice and are much cheaper. Boo Hoo Boots has many options that start at just £6. I know, who wants to have to trade currencies... But BooHoo ships to the US for £7 leaving you with a total (With shipping) of around 18 US dollars. 
 



When buying suede boots make sure to use a waterproofing product on them to avoid the   nasty water marks of a harsh winter.





**Ankle Booties


Both flat and heeled booties go very well with any outfit, but just make sure you will be able to manage weather conditions in your new shoes.
