I’ve been wearing a lot of boots, lately – which makes sense, since it is Fall. I used to wear boots all the time, even in Florida. It would literally be pushing 90 degrees and I would somehow work boots into my ensemble. I have few major issues with Florida; it was a pleasant place to grow up. I just resented not being able to dress for different seasons. It’s pretty much Summer all year round, except for the occasional, if very slight, chill. I absolutely hate being cold, but I do love to layer and I also love my boots. Get it together, Florida! Your flippy floppy clad inhabitants are missing out on the joys of the seasonal wardrobe.

Of course, I say this now, while the weather is still bearable. Come Winter, I’ll be begging New York to take notes from Florida. The grass is always greener!

This is from over four years ago. In Florida. It was probably warm. They are still some of my favorite boots! p.p.s. Happy Birthday to my BFF Lauren<3
