SHOES IN REVIEW // The Black Boots Edition

SHOES IN REVIEW // The Black Boots Edition

• Thursday, March 5, 2015

 I believe it is time. Time to review what shoes I have in my closet. After all, I only own about...well, far too many pairs than a sole girl should probably be in possession of. When I dug out all the black boots that I'd brought with me, I was a bit mortified by the pile that formed on my floor. However, each pair has proven to be an indispensable asset to my wardrobe, and I couldn't bear to part with a single one. Without further ado, let's get into this post, featuring all 13 pairs of my black boots (and this doesn't count the pairs that are still in storage back home...).

First up, let's cover my "everyday" pairs. These are the easy to slip on boots that go with basically everything, are comfortable enough for lots of walking, but still add that cool-girl edge I like to a basic outfit. Perhaps my most beloved pair are the gold studded, pointy-toed boots from Just Fab that I wear to almost every concert I attend. They're the perfect rocker boots! While they look kickass, they're comfortably flat for a night of dancing on your feet all night at the rock show. 

The next most used pair of boots would have to be my combat boots from My Hot Shoes. When I work an early morning shift, these are the first pair of shoes I'll slip my feet into before stumbling out the door. They're practical, comfy, and have been thoroughly stained by espresso grind and milk.

You can check out how I've worn each pair (in order as displayed): here, here, here, and here.

These are another basic pair that have been a fairly recent addition to my collection, but I absolutely love them. I couldn't believe it when I spotted them sitting on a thrift store shelf. They reminded me of a similar pair that I'd seen a vlogger talking about (I believe it was a Jeffrey Campbell pair she was referring to, but I'm not sure). However, for a measly $6, I took home these practical replicas.

You can see how I've worn them here.

These are similar to the everyday pairs, only with taller heels. They definitely make it look like you put more effort into an outfit! Though stacked with a couple more inches, each of these pairs are still comfortable to walk in, though I rarely wear any of these on campus. I'd just feel a bit too conspicuous clicking around in these gorgeous boots. I prefer to save them for a day out and about town.

Sorel, Just Fab

Next up, my casual but tall boots! I only have two pairs with me that fall into this category, but they each have been extremely practical. The Sorel boots on the left are a fairly new addition to my collection, as I've just won them from a campus style competition they'd put on! Needless to say, they're a high quality pair of boots, and I'm thrilled to have won them!

Ah yes, and to finish off, what girl doesn't have a pair or two of hooker boots sitting in her closet? I'm dying to find an event/excuse to wear those killer thigh high, fringed boots to. I'd originally planned to wear them for my 21st birthday, but I'm glad I decided to go for more practical wedges that night. Haha, these would've had me sprawled on the floor for sure! 

Sadly, I still haven't debuted them on the blog yet, but you can see how I've worn the other two pairs here and here.

So what I've realized from making this post is that Just Fab is taking over my shoe closet. Out of 13 pairs, 7 of them are from the fabulous online retailer. Seriously, why do they have to offer the best selection of shoes every month!? I skip often enough, but since signing up for their VIP membership, I've certainly invested in quite a few pair of shoes.

Just wait till you see last month's selection. *shiver* They're beautiful.

Haha, what did you think of this post? (I think I have a problem is what I've concluded).
