My most popular post of 2016, my first year of blogging, was the American classic: jeans and a t-shirt. Easy, comfortable, casual and versatile! You can change this basic duo into an infinite number of looks, and can wear it just about anywhere. It’s like a painter’s canvas: you are the artist. By changing the colors and shapes of your t-shirt and jeans and adding the accessories that you like best, you could wear this every day of the week to just about any event and always look different.

Sometimes, when you see someone on the street who looks exceptionally good, it may not be immediately apparent why that is. Let’s say she’s wearing a blouse and jeans or black pants. They are neat and clean, the blouse is a nice color, a simple necklace is added. So what is special about this picture?

The shoes make it more. They are not ordinary shoes. They are trendy, open toe, buckled, heeled ankle boots. What makes this particular outfit even better is that the color black flows from the pants to the boots, streamlining the length of her legs, making them look longer. Continue Reading
Goths, New Yorkers, me, and probably you like to wear black for a number of reasons. Spring, Summer, and warm weather do not mean we cannot wear this basic color. It’s one of those things that go with everything, including Spring and Summer! Age doesn’t matter. In this post, I share ideas for how to style black outfits in the spring and summer, followed by over 50 outfit ideas.
When it’s cold outside, one way to stay warm is by wearing over-the-knee boots. Besides covering your legs with short dresses and skirts, they also add a layer of warmth over leggings or skinny pants and even under maxi skirts and dresses. So age doesn’t matter. Any woman can enjoy them and keep her look up-to-date.
I have a pair of flat, tan, over-the-knee (OTK) boots like these:
These boots are casual and go well with skinny cords or destroyed skinny jeans or light-colored skinny jeans, as well as with plaid shirts. Other casual OTK boots are those that have flat or low heels and those that are made of suede.
Black and heeled OTK boots are more common. They tend to be considered sexy, but there are ways to wear them that make them perfectly acceptable.
No matter what kind you may have, OTK boots are great for covering your legs for warmth and modesty when wearing a short dress or skirt. They serve the same purpose over leggings or skinnies and an oversize top or tunic.
OTK boots go with: tea-length, 70’s inspired dresses; sweater dresses; short skirts or dresses; long skirts or dresses with a slit; culottes or cropped pants/jeans; skinnies and an over-sized chunky knit sweater, including open knits; leggings and a tunic or over-sized top; with a kimono jacket and skinnies/leggings; or even with shorts.
OTK boots are good for transitional weather in spring and fall as well. One example would be to wear a short dress or skirt with a slouchy cardigan or jacket with your OTK boots.
Here are some outfit combinations to give you some ideas on how to wear OTK boots: Continue Reading
