Spring Boots.....My Style

My Style: It has been a glorious Easter so far, the weather has been beautiful, sunshine, no rain and just a little cold breeze in the air. The perfect weather for dresses, boots and jackets.
This is a look that can only work in certain weather, in the height of the summer I find boots too hot and in the winter I wear my boots with jeans for warmth but for now it is perfect. Today I wore my new boots courtesy of Seven Boot Lane and threw a denim dress on with them. They are a buttery soft suede in a pale sand colour and fit perfectly into the boho/western look. Fringed boots have been an obsession of mine thanks to the almighty Isabel Marant and her boots for H&M and the fringe detail at the side of these boots is perfect, it adds a cool twist making them just a little different. I chose the neutral colour to ensure they did not look too heavy and can be worn with everything from black or blue skinny jeans to floral and white cotton, summer dresses, they will see me through the summer to next winter and beyond.

THE DETAILS:
Boots: Seven Boot Lane 'Beth' Boots £160
Dress: Levis similar here
Bomber Jacket: Pull and Bear @ASOS £21.50 
Watch: Fossil £125

I will team them with black skinny jeans and a grey t-shirt for a rockier look and my blue skinny jeans and chambray shirt for a smarter outfit over the next couple of weeks. 



No doubt you will see these boots popping up time and time again as I wear them throughout the seasons, they are the kind of boots that as they age will keep looking great!

Are you a fan of 'Spring' boots, do you like wearing them with dresses or do you stick to jeans?

As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, till next time Frances x

  4. You look truly stunning Frances. I love your denim dress with the boots and bare legs, I am a big fan of this look but it is quite youthful for me, I manage it with opaques (just about) but I will leave the bare legs to those of you who are about 10 years younger than me! xx

  5. I always have loved boots with dresses, think it's the Western look that I like. That denim dress works perfectly with that light shade of boot, really great look. I will be wearing my boots into August no doubt - I was last year!! x
