Lace ‘n Boots

In order to satiate my desire to wear a scarf and boots, I had to put on something lacy to accommodate the unseasonably high temperatures we’re experiencing in L.A.  Though it’s hard to tell in these photos, my boots are nearly 4 inches in height and thanks to a thick platform in front, they’re unbelievably comfortable.  I’m not used to having a scarf of this length so I’m still experimenting with the best ways to wear it so that it doesn’t end up resembling an afghan.

    Wow, this is a really great look. I LOVE that combination of feminine and a little tough…

    I wish the weather was like in LA here. Enjoy!
