It's *almost* my birthday! It's hard to believe I'll be 28 in just under two weeks. I feel like my 20s have flown by, but the other day, I told James: "I feel like I'm becoming the woman I'm supposed to be, embracing my talents and unique perspective."
I hardly ever celebrate myself with gifts, I'm just too practical. I buy myself stuff I need or will use frequently. This mindset is definitely rooted in previous financial trauma, but I'm learning to spend money on myself when I can afford it. Fortunately, this year I could afford to buy items for our new apartment, as well as a gift to celebrate life, and another year around the sun.
What did I buy? Statement boots of course! If you follow me on Instagram, you know statement boots are my thinggggg. Teal snakeskin, yellow snakeskin, I have so much fun incorporating statement boots into contemporary, unique looks. I consider them investment pieces in my wardrobe!
When I saw these gold INC Paiton Block-Heel Boots on Macy's website, I had to have them. Sadly, the gold boots were sold out in my size. (FYI: Reviews suggest you size up in INC boots.) They are available in gold, black, snakeskin, and fuchsia. So I watched....and watched....and watched the inventory for about a month. Finally, late January the boots came back in stock in the specific size I needed. I took advantage of the opportunity and bought these golden beauties!
So far, I've styled them with my brown sweater dress layered with a vintage, Escada blazer and Hanifa Miya Knit Cardigan dress:

Do you own a pair of statement boots? How do you style them?
My other pairs of statement knee-high boots are colored snakeskin. The neutral metallic of this gold pair is unique, yet versatile. I can't wait to style the color and texture in new ways!
