Indian Summer
I wore this dress a ton this summer- the heavy vest is a great way to transition it into fall.

Boots & Boys
A few weeks ago I hit up The Rack with my sister after cross-country practice, running clothes and all. My mission was to help her and not get anything for myself, which I was doing really well at 'till I found this pair of thigh high boots. They looked pretty ridiculous with my Nike dri-fit shorts and muddy t-shirt, but I figured I could work with them.
When I got home, I googled "how to wear thigh-high boots." Julia Roberts pretty much set the standard for them in 1991, and I wanted to be sure I didn't go down that path. This is what I found:
Thanks, Google. That is a great idea; I will walk around in my undies and my thigh-highs. People will definitely not think I'm a hooker.
Left to my own devices once again, this is what I came up with (for myself, obviously. Maybe you could rock sequined undies and a blazer to work): don't do slutty with thigh-high boots. Don't do skirts because the proportions will make you look too choppy.
This is what I did like:
Ultra lady-like (silk embellished top) and rugged masculine ("Attila the Hun" vest)both make big enough statements to not be outdone (dominated) by my dominatrix boots.
Take that, Google images!
Silk top: $23, Forever 21
Splatter T: $55 (185), James Perse, Nordstrom
Vest: Forever 21
Leggings: $32, American Apparel (fit for super heros everywhere)
Boots: $60 (130), Report, The Rack

ready, set, romper!
This sequin jacket is great because of its coloring, and the matte allows for enough subtle detail without totally going against the floral.
I always love contrasting girlier motifs with gladiators. These sandals are awesome because there's stud detailing going up the backs of them too; I don't know why designers so often disregard the backs of things.
Jacket: $45 (150), Gibson, Nordstrom Rack
Romper: $19 (48), Urban Outfitters
Monoi Sandals: $65, (198), Ash, Nordstrom Rack
