The Discovery of Boots
For having grown up in one of the colder states, I should’ve naturally become a boot-lover. Or at least not a boot-hater. But let me share why this happened. So… I was kind of a weird kid. One of my first memories from when I was young is hating socks. And that translated to hating boots. Because, before the age of Uggs, you were really supposed to wear socks with your boots. But that seam over the toes was sooooo annoying! I couldn’t get over it. I even wore my soccer socks inside out. I tried and tried to put those on the right way, because wearing them inside out was not exactly “cool,” but I couldn’t make myself do it. It took me quite a few years to get over that and wear at least my soccer socks the right way. I honestly still prefer to not wear socks, (yeah, I wear flats and heels without socks in winter, as evidenced in my last post), but I’m making myself do it. Because then I can wear boots. And boots really are quite nice in the frigid Minnesota temps.

The thing is, for the next few months, I won’t really be wearing boots. I won’t really be getting dressed at all, beyond scrubs. Starting on Monday I have two straight months of night shifts. Month one is MICU nights and month two is regular medicine nights (yuck). By the time I get to dress like real person again it’ll practically be spring! At least those Rockerchic boots will look adorable with spring sweater dresses and such. And I suppose I have many Minnesota winters ahead…
I really like this outfit. The sweater looks super comfy 🙂

Amber, you look great! Haha the sock thing is hilarious. I can never have enough socks! As for boots, I try not to spend over $200 per pair on sale. I’m currently obsessed with the Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole line of boots, which have leather lining and upper and a memory foam pad.
The outfit sure looks cozy against the cold weather backdrop! Love the classy overall look and the boots are beautiful!

I love your boots! Are they really comfy? Are you wearing them barefoot?? I cant totally sympathize with you… I too am a sock hater.
A divinely cozy and so fabulous chic look!
