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
New to your blog and just wanted to say how great it is. I love the way you put your outfits together and you are inspiring me to get out of my style rut :)

DeleteGorgeous boots Frances & I love how you've styled them. I've just brought a similar coloured pair from Zara which I can't wait to team with boots & dresses & like you say they're going to be great for all seasons.

Thanks Jane, they are a fab colour and so versatile so I have no doubt I will be wearing them loads. Look forward to seeing yours xx
DeleteLove this look - I want to copy but I'm not sure I can pull it off! I shall try later in the week once the false tan has been applied!
ReplyDeleteFiona, you can so pull off this look with your long slim legs..filters on my phone help with my leg colour! xx
DeleteYou 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
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think I can just about get away with this look as long as I have a good length dress! You look great in your boots, I think you teamed them with a dress too?! they looked fab xx
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I am a Western look fan too, it is a look you do perfectly xx
DeleteThis works so well on you Frances but, I fear, my legs would look scary. I love the dress. XX
ReplyDeleteHa Helen, my legs are scarey too, just need the help of filters on my phone...with filters anything is possible! xx
DeleteLove this look on you! Out of all the boots that the bloggers have chosen from Seven boot lane these are my favourite!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much AnneMarie, I really like them, have been after a lovely pair of fringed boots for sooo long! xx
DeleteI'm a big fan of these boots too, and what a great look for this time of year. Feeling inspired!

ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle, I am loving them with my skinny jeans too..have them on today! xx
DeleteHi there!! Such a fabulous outfit the boots and jacket look amazing with your denim dress, very sporty luxe!! x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sharon x
DeleteYou look gorgeous in this Frances! I just need it to get a wee bit hotter before I can get my legs out & of course I need to fake bake too! I have my denim dress waiting for an airing asap! xx
ReplyDeleteI just had a fake bake spray tan before our little break..makes me feel so much better!! x
DeletePerfect dress to wear with the boots - a match made in heaven actually. I've not been brave enough to get the legs out yet - a few more degrees warmer and I'll be there with you with the denim dress!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, looking forward to seeing how you style your denim dress, no doubt it will be super chic!
DeleteLove this look. I've been eyeing up paler coloured boots recently, so you may have inpsired me to take the leap!
ReplyDeleteMust admit Helen the colour is pretty versatile, can't wait to see what you go for xx
DeleteOh Francis I love this dress so much. Actually I love you in this dress as I don't think it would work quite so well on me ;-) x
ReplyDeleteYour boots are sooo cool and love your cute Jeans dress! Happy Easter!
