When I arrived at work last Friday, I noticed something different about the store layout. The back wall of the Georgetown boutique, which houses our shoe collection, had been completely transformed. The bright heels and strappy sandals that typically line the shelves were overshadowed by an extensive collection of boots in every size and variety—slouchy, riding, and yes-- even cowgirl! I quickly found some in my size and began trying them on. But about halfway through the third fitting (a gorgeous pair by Frye), I stopped. After all, isn’t it only mid July? Sadly, I realized I would have to wait 2 or 3 more months before I could enjoy these fabulous boots.
The next day, as I surfed the web for new and refreshing trends I started noticing something—boots, everywhere! I must have been too wrapped up in the sandal craze to realize how great boots look with short summer dresses! Turn your simple summer dress into a fashion-forward look, simply by trading your gladiators for boots.
What’s best about this trend? The boots you buy now will transition seamlessly into the fall and winter seasons, talk about a great investment piece! So don’t wait to get that pair of boots you’ve been drooling over—I know I’m not!
