These pink shoes from Liz Lisa are so cute! Mary jane with chunky platform heels, ankle-strap wedges with pretty bows, heart-shaped cutouts and embroidery — I adore them all! But I don’t have the wardrobe to match the pretty, frilly pinkness of it all.

 

But this one! Surely I can make room for this? Camel suede booties with grosgrain ribbon laces (also in brown and pink).

Knee-high riding boots are my current obsession now. I have two plain ones in black and tan, both worn to death. They are my three-season boots — with shorts and dresses with knee-high stockings in the spring or fall and with thicker socks + jeans or high denier tights or leggings for cooler winter climates.

I have been looking for something with a little bit more flair (read: fancier buckles). Leather riding boots from Amazon Boot Shop, top from left to right: Enzo Angiolini Visco women’s leather riding boot (in Cognac), Vince Camuto Flavian leather boot (in Dark Wood/Black with gold hardware) and ECCO Hobart buckle boot (in black, also in Mink or Cognac).
