Laced Up From the Floor Up

Get a leg (and heel) up on this season by scoring on a pair of lace-up booties. Lace-up boots are a huge trend for fall. Whether tall or short, I love the fact that they are wearable with everything from dresses, to skirts, to skinny jeans, and leggings.

No matter your style, whether girly, classic, eclectic, or laid-back, there’s a lace-up for you.  These boots are offered open-toed or closed-toed, with buckles and embellished studs, heeled or flat, furry or shiny, in suede, leather, or canvas, and the list goes on and on! Dress ‘em up, dress ‘em down – Wear them with a floral dress to get one last use out of your summer sundress, then pair them with skinnys and a trench coat (read the previous blog)  when the fall weather really starts coming out.

Of course celebs have picked up this trend and can be seen marching around town in their lace-ups.

Side Note: While shopping in Marshall’s over the weekend, I noticed there were TONS of lace-up boots in the shoe department.  They came in prices suitable for several different budgets, including those of us who can only afford to spare around $30 for our pair!

Being the ultimate shoe staple for colder months, boots are a great base to a stylish look.  Add fun and flirty to your look with a feminine winter coat, a satchel handbag, and oversized jewelry pieces.  Show off a more relaxed look with leggings, an oversized knit sweater, and a scarf.  Look for a pair of lace-up ankle boots with textured designs, studs, creative embellishments, or bold stitching – There’s just the right pair for you out there!
