Frye “Tate” Bootie

Hello there! I hope you’re having the best day ever!

I cannot stop wearing these boots (available here and here for 60% off !). I happened upon them at Nordstrom Rack and I couldn’t let them get away. A fellow shopper even told me how great they were. 😉 They are a little on the high side, but I’ve worn them all day with minimal discomfort.

The rubber sole is quite “grippy” so they’ve been my go-to lately on rainy days. No slippage here! Knowing Frye, these boots will be around a long time. Frye stuff just gets better with age!

It’s been cold-ish (for us) lately, but it still tends to get pretty warm in the direct sun so a tee and a scarf has been perfect to stay warm, yet not overheat. I’ve had this scarf now for a long time and yet it’s still a favorite! If I were to buy one now I’d probably go with this one or this one. Too cute, right?!

I love a big square scarf because it’s so versatile. You can stye it so many ways! Jean from Extra Petite has a great tutorial that can help you if you’re a little lost on how to wear one. I highly recommend playing with how you style your scarves to maximize what you’ve already got.

With all the “fast fashion” these days it can be a little too easy to amass a huge wardrobe – and having too many options can be a problem in itself.   Most of us end up wearing the same pieces over and over for the most part.  How do you maximize your closet?

I really liked how these boots looked with my new skinnies from American Eagle. I just love the color and they are so soft and stretchy. FYI they are 50% off right now! Just be careful with the ripped sections when you’re putting them on. It’s a little too easy to stick a foot through the hole, whoops!

Of course I had to go a little matchy-matchy and pair my Vince Camuto crossbody bag with this look. I couldn’t resist. I like how it peeks out from under the scarf. This particular purse is no longer available, but I think this one (65% off!) is an awesome, similar option. And look at this suede beauty (over 50% off!)!

I may be the only one enjoying the fact that it’s still  a bit cool and rainy, even though it’s technically spring – but I’m going to blame that on the fact that we never really had a winter this year. I do love my layers!

I hope you’re staying warm! Thanks so very much for visiting!

XO, Kate
