Kristina does the Internets: OTK Boots and a Skirt

Sweater (similar), Skirt (similar), Necklace (a birthday gift!) - LOFT / Boots - Kaitlyn Pan / Bag (similar) - Coach Factory / Watch - Wristology

One of the reasons I really wanted to hop on the over-the-knee boot trend? It means you don't have to wear tights! I seriously hate having to wear tights, they're so constrictive and uncomfortable, so I usually end up not wearing skirts or dresses at all in the winter! But with OTK boots, that's not a problem! Plus, they're super warm. Like, 100x warmer than tights. I've heard these boots referred to as "boot pants," and that's seriously what they are!

Not a lot in my wardrobe ends up standing the test of time, but my skirt and sweater have been around for what feels like forever at this point (or, you know, at least five years). The sweater gets pulled out every year when I want to feel spring-y (and even made it into our engagement photos!), and the skirt has had several lives - the entire hem came out at one point and then it took me about a year to manage to get it fixed. I actually can sew a hem, but this one is invisible and was too much stress for me to try to fix myself. I'm glad I finally got it repaired though, because it's one of my favorite things. The a-line style is super flattering - my sister even complimented me on it, and it's hard to pull a compliment on my clothes out of her ;) Looking at these pictures is making me wonder why I don't own more pretty little skirts like this one. Adding that to my shopping list!
