Thank you to Rack Room Shoes for helping to complete my fall wardrobe. I was given a few pairs of boots to create outfits, but thoughts and opinions are my own.
I hate the winter. It’s way too cold, everything is bare, and I miss the heat and humidity. With a bitter fall upon us, I’m considering this fall winter’s ugly stepsister. I can’t help but be harsh, because I lived in the north for 11 years, and I feel like I paid my dues; I want my Georgia heat!! So, rather than over-sulk in my beloved tank tops, I’ve been trying to find a few more looks for the chilly fall leading into winter. With all the time I’m spending with the Atlanta CBS Mom Squad this season, it’s been important for me to feel put together so I’m not concentrating on it during our segments. After all, confidence is mostly how you feel. If you want to rock something, get it out, put it on and feel fabulous!
Personally, an awesome purse, a killer top or the perfect pair of shoes will do the trick. I feel dressed up (instead of my work-at-home uniform of PJ pants and fuzzy slippers), put together and can concentrate on my tasks at hand. I found some more-than-awesome booties at Rack Room this season, and they are letting me stretch my shorter dresses into chilly weather. I paired black suede heeled Angel booties with my cobalt blue dress and black velvet blazer for a CBS gig, and it was so comfortable. My tights are lined in fleece, so I was toasty from head to toe!
The simple and thin strappage on the Angel boots really compliment the line of the shoe, and the small platforms under the ball of the foot lets me walk around in these heels for a long time and not feel any pain.
A Target find from 6 years ago, this gray ruffled dress is a staple of my winter “dress up.” I kept the same tights on from earlier in the day, and traded dresses to accent my black Rack Room booties for a high tea with some girl friends at KidsLink. I felt very chic and ready to have fun!
For another round of fall outfits, I found a brand new pair of brown leather boots that I desperately needed. Tall brown boots with a flat sole are my number one choice for chasing Red around town and doing errands in cool weather. The Limelight Mackenzie boots from Rack Room have a touch of equestrian, but still say “city chic” with a flat sole, flexible leather and comfortable fit. For a daytime look, I added a long cardigan with some sparkly necklaces to my dark denim skinny jeans. I could easily attend a meeting, head to the mall or take Red to a playdate in this look.
The next week, I was off again tackling issues with the Mom Squad, and wanted to show off my new boots. This time, I wore a pinwale corduroy dress I found at The Gap, and an equestrian inspired jewelry. My favorite fall jacket added some contrast to bring out the brown leather in the boots and my Emma Fox purse wasn’t far behind.
These boots are extremely comfortable, and while they run a tad small, are formed to the foot and extremely easy to wear. My favorite little detail is the gold crescent on the heel; you can see it close up in this next photo:

Love all the outfits and I will be checking out those booties and I really need some fleece lined tights!
I love boots- but I am super picky! I really need to find a new pair- I will have to check out RR!
Ohhh, those last ones are really pretty. I love high boots and really need a pair. I thought I’d go with black, but brown looks beautiful!
Lookin good, friend!
