Item repeating + Look one of the Snake Boot

01.22.19Winter Outfits0

Hey hey there! Sooo today I’m talking about one of two looks I’ve created around a new pair of statement boots that have quickly become one of the most beloved items in my wardrobe!

Buttt… before we get started on all the outfit details I want to talk just a bit about the spectrum I’ve experienced of having a lot to having very little when it comes to my closet.

(Hint: it’s a big reason I tend to repeat items on the regular!)

In my last post, I talked about how I went from having a closet full of clothes with nothing to wear to experimenting with minimalism and a capsule wardrobe for some time.

And I’ve got to say, I’m really glad that I experienced both sides.

Here’s why:

Having a lot of things showed me that you don’t always find creativity in having more, especially when you don’t even know everything you have. Or when you don’t know how to style the one-off items in your wardrobe, so they just sit there.

And then on the flip side when you have less, in order to create diversity in your outfits, you have to wear your statement items with a lot of other pieces.

I no longer keep a capsule, and I wouldn’t say I’m a minimalist by any stretch, but something that I learned from my experience with both was to repeat statement (or experimental) items often with a lot of other things in my wardrobe so that I learn to style it well and then naturally wear it more.

I have definitely done that with these boots (not to mention the fact that they were love at first sight!) And because of that, I have worn them so many times with many different outfits.

For this first outfit, I kept it simple with a black jean and cream sweater combo. But I added interest by wearing a flared pant instead of a classic skinny jean.

When in doubt try a new pant out… rhyming like a champ right now;).

Outfit Formula:

Black kick-flare + Oversized sweater + Statement boot

Add a simple crossbody or tote and you’re good to go!

Style Notes || I styled the sweater with a front tuck and tucked in a t-shirt underneath to be able to go longer in between washes. And for the jeans, I did a kick flare that came over my boots.

**When deciding the length of the jeans, I always say they either need to come down over the boots by an inch or so (if it’s a tall boot), or clear the top of my boot by just a touch, but for this look I chose the first option.

Outfit Details:

Ribbed cream sweater / Similar here

Black kick-flare denim / Similar (straight leg)

Snakeskin booties (made responsibly) / Similar here (made responsibly)

Crossbody / Similar (made responsibly)

That’s it for now!

But tell me, have you experimented with minimalism and capsule wardrobes? If so, do you feel like it increased your creativity when it comes to styling your outfits?

Stay tuned for outfit #2 later in the week, but for now, I hope you enjoy a little experiment we are up to on The Threads We Wear below. Fashion Videos!!!!

  • 7 years of a setting sun kind of love in you. It’s constant, faithful, secure, but ever changing in color and depth✨. I love you forever and always @dmrouth
  • Happy Friday Friends.✨Looking forward to our first full weekend home since December, where we will finally be able to take down the Christmas tree☺️. I know everyone else is well into their resolutions for the new year, but since we have been gone so much, February feels like my January and I have fully embraced that! Sharing my vision for 2021 personally and for my blog very soon, so keep your peeps open.✨✨✨
  • A collection of unedited sunsets from our Christmas in SoCal that I can’t stop dreaming about.✨Spending more time lately being thankful for the little things that inspire me. It’s always the little things ☺️. #nofilter #gratitude #neverstopexploring
  • Hello friends happy Monday! I’M BACK! And I’ve dusted off the ol’ blogging fingers to share a more personal look at what 2020 was for me.☺️ . I went through so much growth this past year personally (didn’t we all), and worked through old struggles of fear, and self doubt that surfaced from old childhood trauma. But I have come out stronger and more resolved to be the person I was created to be. . Opening up about that and a snap shot of the highs and lows of this past year on the blog. Link in bio to read
  • Challenge Accepted.✨To my fellow woman, you are beautiful because of... The abuse you endured that you do not let define you. The disease or condition you developed that you do not let control you. The scars you have from childbirth that you choose to see as a souvenir. The times you chose a kind word over a tearing down comment. The times you looked at her with admiration and did not question your own worth. The times you gave your body the care it needed instead of pouring from an empty cup. For the all times you loved when it
  • Now more than ever it remains my heart to support brands who stand for something, whether that be their ethics (how they treat people), sustainability (how they treat the earth), or ways that they choose to honor both through giving. ✨ . With that said I am elated to share this beauty of a watch with you by @nordgreenofficial who believes in “good health, a clean environment, and full education as a right for all.” With every watch purchased they give either 2 months of clean drinking water to one person in The Central African Republic, 1 month of education
  • Love is the driving force that promotes the deepest change. Love is what brings unity. Love changes us more than simply knowing something and acting on it. When you love someone you do everything you can to protect that person, see them grow, see them thrive. @rachel.cargle said it best when she said “action without empathy is simply performance”, and I believe empathy’s roots are in love. So I am praying, praying for greater love in my heart, and in every heart, a love that would drive us all to true sustained change and action on behalf of Black lives.
