I am a girl who can most often be seen wearing jeans. I love jeans. But, this fall season I have become super edgy. I have gotten into the skinny black pants/leggings. SO edgy, right? :) I know, its not edgy. I am kidding.
Anyway, I was sort of loving wearing my black legging/pants with boots... either my grey sweater boots, or brown sweater boots, or brown leather boots.
Then earlier this week I saw that Oprah was going to be on how your shoes and accessories can make you look slimmer. I am a sucker for a show on how to look slimmer, so I recorded it and watched parts of it. Oprah and her team of stylists talk about how your shoes/boots MUST match the pair of leggings you have on. She stressed this statement at least 3 times.
I got a complex and started thinking I was so 2001 with my brown shoes/black leggings combo. So, I went to a styling professional... Julie Beeler. :) Julie Beeler knows her fashion. She disagreed with Ms. Winfrey and now I am back to loving wearing brown shoes with my black leggings. My boot crisis was averted.
Day 4... Check.

That's funny! I personally like the grey sweater boots myself.
1. you don't need to be watching a show about looking slimmer. you are already "slimmer". :)
2. I love the brown & black together.
I'm feeling very uninspired today...I feel like I'm already going to fail this challenge.
I'm glad that your boots and leggings don't have to match. I, personally, think it would be TOO matchy matchy if they did. However, I'm obviously no style fashionista. And, I only have black leggings AND only have gray sweater boots and am already out of allowance for the YEAR. So, I'm glad I can wear those and be ok per Julie :)
Hahahah that is hysterical!!! I don't really want to go up against oprah but matchy match isn't my thing but I'm trying the blk leggings with the black fringey uggs and I'll let u know the result! Bottom line is this: amy Bottomly if I lived where u lived we would be BEST friends!!!!
And PS Rebecca you too are the cutest! U didn't fail w blk leggings and grey uggs!!! What's better?
I love Julie B and she is always SO stylish! I would def go with her over Oprah. Sorry O, still love ya.
those boots are so cute! Where did you get them?!
Love it! My favorites are the grey sweater boots... :)
glad you didn't listen to oprah this time. you've got great legs (hope that doesn't sound like i'm a creeper) and all combos look fab to me. i SO wish i could pull off skinny jeans/leggings, but i am the girl oprah probably told NOT to wear either regardless of how my boots matched!
You totally crack me up.
Now you HAVE to tell us where to get those super cute boots! The grey and brown sweater boots are the same, right? I need a pair. Yup, need.
first, where are the cute brown boots from?
second, love O but have you seen some of the outfits she has been wearing lately? what in the world?
i'm so glad your back to blogging.... i need to get back into it too....
love the boots! I saw that on oprah too.. but i thought they were only talking about if your wearing a dress then your tights need to match the boots. i could be wrong... there were four kids running around while i had it on. :)
you are cracking me up.
where did you find all of your cute boots? e-mail me and fill me in - i'm looking for the perfect pair to spend my birthday $ on.
Oh thank goodness! And where do you get your leggings? I have a super cute new pair of boots that are begging for leggings. (OH - I rhymed!) :)
I love the leggings this year too! I absolutely adore the brown sweater boots! Where did you get them?? I am in love...
That's too funny! I also am on a black leggings kick this winter. It usually takes me a season or two before I'm ready to try out a "new" fad. All your boots look fabulous, btw.
I want to wear leggings (againg) but I pinky promised with my girlfriend (about a year ago) that we wouldn't. Now I regret it...Any advice on how to break a fashion pinky promise with a friend? I love the boots/leggings look! :)
OK, so i'm laughing at imagining how you got those pictures taken ... was it with Josh's help? Was it on a self timer? Are your days filled with the stress of checking off you blog entry for the day? FUnny!
And I'm sorry I haven't mailed Olive's thing....c.r.a.z.y. over here.
all three combos are ABSURDLY cute. and I watched that too. and now I'm like "crap. what if the fashion police really ARE out there?"
