deal of the day: $45 Franco Sarto boots

I have been on a relentless hunt for the perfect pair of ankle booties. Dragging my bootless feet from store to store, I encountered the same problems. Too much heel. Not enough heel. Too many studs. Extreme discomfort.


These little beauties do the trick. 1) practicality: the thick wedge heel makes them super easy to wear. Like run to catch a bus type of easy. 2) versatility: black suede goes with practically anything, and I plan on wearing these fall/winter/spring. Did I mention these were $45? Seriously, sweet deal.



For a more casual look, I paired booties with leggings and a loose blouse. We all know fall means leggings, jeggings 24/7, and these boots would spice up my typical stretch pants and loose blouse look. Casey (dog) felt the need to include herself. Blouse: Tiffany Alana, $16.99. Leggings: F21, $10.



I died a little inside when I came across this knee-length sweater. Does Sonia Rykiel ring a bell? Old Navy's version was only $49.50, which sadly wouldn't even buy me a sleeve on the Parisian's famous striped pieces. French-looking navy/white stripes beware, this multicolored look is on its way. Sweater: Old Navy, $49.50.



I've always been wary when it comes to wearing skirts and boots. This skirt however passes the arm-length test, and I would wear this out out without feeling like I was advertising for a nighttime job. Shirt: BDG (second hand), $1. Skirt: Gap (second hand), $5.



The last ankle bootie look (my favorite). For me, shorts with any loose tunic would transition day to evening for reasonably warm fall weather. A few degrees cooler, throw in some tights and a heavy scarf and voila! Scarf: Pins and Needles, $10. Tunic: Lauren Ralph Lauren (second hand), $2. Shorts: Zara, $40.
