[CLOSET STAPLES] 12 Ways to Wear Riding Boots

If you’ve been a reader of this blog for any length of time, you know that this girl right here LOVEEEES her a good pair of boots.

Cowboy boots, rain boots, booties, and riding boots. Truth is, I’ve never met a pair of boots that I didn’t like.

However, the truth is, over the years, as my love of boots has grown, I’ve come to realize that there is one pair of boots in my closet that I have gotten the absolute MOST mileage out of… and that would be my brown riding boots.

I bought these babies when I was on spring break in Rome, Italy my senior year of college and I have worn them so much that the soles have actually fallen off and have needed to be replaced TWICE. I love them so much.

I wear them in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. I wear them with jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, and leggings. Does not matter what the case may be, I tend to reach for these brown babies whenever I’m in doubt.

And that, by my definition, certainly makes my brown riding boots a CLOSET STAPLE. So, I thought I’d cover 12 ways to wear riding boots in the next installment of my little closet staple series.

OH, and in case you were wondering, NOW is the time of year to buy riding boots. No, but for real. Seriously. Everyone puts their boots on sale in the spring and summer because it’s not top “buying” season –  I even found some MEGA sweet deals on boots (all for less than $50!) and have linked to some options at the bottom of this post, in case you’re curious. 🙂

Without further ado…

  6. I love them every single way you’re wearing them (but especially the sequin shorts – possibly because anything sequin just speaks to me)!

  8. The most expensive item of clothing I own are my Frye riding boots – very similar to yours. I’ve never spent that much on shoes (or.. anything) before, but they’ve lasted me years and they’ll never go out of style. I wear them with everything as well 🙂

    I have these, totally worth the investment (but wait for a sale, because they ain’t cheap) – http://www.thefryecompany.com/womens-boots/melissa-collection/76432/melissa-button-back-zip

  9. I love boots. I have 3 pairs and I love them. Ok well 4 if you count rain boots. I love it when you find just the right pair and thankfully you can get the soles fixed. I have to say I like your hair shorter. It’s nice to see the different styles you’ve had over the years. My link up is back on and it starts again this thursday. Stop by my blog tomorrow for details and please enter my giveaway from stella & dot.

    Agi:)
