I loved my OTK boots last year, and the trend remains strong this season. I have a heeled pair, so when I got the opportunity to try a flat pair from Choies for less than $80, I jumped at the chance. I knew I would wear them even more than a heel. My previous pair is loose around the knee, and I liked that these are the more stretchy suede that fits well. I usually wear an 8.5 or 9, and I ordered the 10. They are a perfect fit length wise. Unfortunately at 5’10” they are not quite as over the knee as I would like. Insert sad face. Since I was unsure about their wearability last year when I bought my first pair, I thought I would share three ways to wear OTK boots with you today. They are far more versatile than you might think! Today I paired them with my black jeans, new sleeveless turtleneck sweater, and an old favorite buffalo plaid shirt. I like my sweater vest so much, I wanted another similar piece in black. I love the layering potential. Over or under or alone, this top will be a great piece for the season at only $25.
I am headed to Denver for a work trip tomorrow, and I am so excited. I’ve never been to Denver. Plus, I get to meet Leah from Eat Pray Wear Love and Paige and Hailey from The Middle Closet. I love how this blogging community has become real friends of mine, and it is so fun to meet them in real life!

When it comes to wearing OTK boots with a dress or skirt, I wanted to highlight both hemlines. Midi or mini, OTK boots pair well with both lengths. I just like to make sure my midi hem covers the top of my boots.

All fab looks! And yes they should make OTK boots in different heights! My 5’3″ friend ordered a pair online & we were in hysterics when she tried them on … Way too high on her!
Thanks for linking up!

All of these outfits are perfection, I can’t even choose my favorite. I need that red bag and the dress and of course the boots! I’m just so obsessed with your style! You’re so gorgeous!

I love how you have worn your OTK Boots before but I love today’s outfit best. Gotta love a monochromatic look, a classic buffalo shirt and a black fedora or panama hat. Certainly wearing my Fedoras, lately myself. =)
Really love how you styled the boots, especially with dresses/skirts! (:

Love Love LOVE! You look fabulous. I scored some OTK boots last year at a great price too. I love the zipper on the side of the sweater.

Such a beauty, I always come to your blog and leave thoroughly impressed. Also, love your hair when you had it ombre?? Those over-the-knee boots are to die for! I am also taller (5’9″) and I struggle to find over the knee boots that make sense. Luckily I have you for inspiration, we have the same shoe size as well! I know you are traveling right now so safe travels to you!
