Does this season's jeans & boots have you confused?
Jeans and boots are a classic go to uniform for the winter… Today’s version of the look has gotten super chic and a little challenging to decode. Jeans are cropped, flared, embellished, or straight and boots are short, chunky, funky, or flat this season.

Wear your jeans over your boots
I’ve been suggesting that straight leg jeans are more flattering than skinny jeans, but the questions always comes up…. what does do I wear with them? I suggest styling their jeans over your boots, with hemlines ranging from grazing just over the top of the boot to hanging down several inches. My favorite way to wear them is a little cropped giving attention to your awesome boots! Here are a few of my favorite boots to wear inside your jeans.
Tuck Your Jeans In Your Boots
This one is the trickiest of all in my opinion.
Do tuck your denim when it is very skinny at the ankle and will not bunch. It also has to be long enough to tuck.
Do tuck your denim when your boots have a wider opening at the top.
Don’t try to tuck your denim when your boots are very short (i.e. hit at your ankle), only when they are a bit taller.
Here are a few fab boots to tuck your jeans into.
Cropped Denim
This is perhaps the easiest way because your jeans do all the work for you. If you are wearing a cropped pair of jeans, they are already not going to conflict with your booties.
Do let your denim hit above your booties
Don’t let there be too much skin between the bottom of your jeans and the top of your booties. This may mean (depending on how cropped your jeans are) that you need a taller ankle bootie (one that hits above your ankle bone) or you can go for a more relaxed look with a little fold.
Here are some great booties to pair with a cropped jean.

Stop saving your clothes for "good".... enjoy them now!!
I always worked really hard to be able to buy really nice clothes. So when I would finally acquire the items, I didn’t want to mess it up. I would end up keeping them “for good” and never got the most possible enjoyment out of these investment items.
There were plenty of times I forgot that I had these precious items. When the occasion was finally right to put on such a piece sometimes they didn’t fit as well as they did when I purchased it or it was out of style and it didn't look current.
Moral of the story… there is no day like today to put on something special!
Here are a few tips to getting those items in your outfit rotation
Pull out 3 items you save for “good” hang them on the door or in the front of your closet and wear them within the next week.
Dress down a piece if you feel it’s a little dressy for your daily life with casual basics like a white tee, jeans, or sneakers.
It’s finally getting warmer out so pair a frilly dress with a pair of flat sandals and a denim jacket... go out and have some fun!
This is now I have been enjoying some of my "good pieces"
