How To Wear Born Peri Boots Three Ways

November 29, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

I’m absolutely in love with my Born Peri boots courtesy of SuperShoes.com.

I’ve been wearing them for weeks now and I have nothing but excellent things to say about them.

They feature a supple leather upper with stitch detailing and of course, handsewn Opanka construction that Born is famous for. It really lends a flexible fit and feel, and the cushioned footbed offers long-lasting comfort as well. Convenient side zip entry provides easy on/off which is a nice feature as well.

The Peri boot from Born has a steel shank for support and a textured rubber sole for dependable traction. These boots are an excellent choice for the coming winter months.

These boots are just totally sophisticated and perfect for me. Can you just imagine all the amazing outfits you could put together with these beautiful boots?! Well, I was brainstorming and came up with three ways to wear these boots and thought you might like to see…

Outfit Of The Day: Featuring Softspots Reagan Boots

November 4, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

Eclectic Comfy Chic by thehousewife featuring Softspots Reagan

This outfit is perfect for the busy mom who has a style all her own! A simple graphic tee with a comfy XCVI skirt and Softspots boots. Pair with a comfy wrap cardigan and funky earrings for an everyday outfit that is both comfy and stylish.

Colorful pops of orange or blue are a great way to brighten any Fall day. I love this orange scarf paired with the orange NARS nail polish. A colorful handbag is another great way to add color and interest to an outfit of primarily neutral colors.

The Softspots Reagan boots are perfect for anyone who spends time on their feet or does a lot of walking.

A tall boot with sophisticated style and an easy-to-wear heel height. These are an excellent choice if you are a comfort seeking shoe lover or a busy mom that is on her feet all day. Don’t worry, you can definitely chase a toddler around the park in these boots. Offered in soft calfskin leather in your choice of brown or black. I love the intricate stitch detailing and of course, the best part is the Pillow Top memory foam footbed. Softspots is my brand of choice when it comes to super comfy footwear.

What To Wear With Ugg Boots

October 21, 2009 By The Fashionable Housewife

If you just bought ugg boots or are considering purchasing a pair, but don’t know what to wear with them if you do, then let me help you.

There are no set in stone rules about what to wear with ugg boots. If you’re totally pro-uggs or a celebrity, then you might wear them with just about anything. If you hate uggs and think they are hideous, well then I can’t imagine you’d wear them with too many things.

If you’re somewhere in the middle, like me, and just find them to be practical winter boots for the colder months, then read on!

Fashion Wear:

The easiest way to wear ugg boots is with a pair of jeans tucked in. Skinny jeans work best, obviously, but you can roll up boot cut jeans if you wish. Look to celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Vanessa Manilo and Hilary Duff for cues on how to make wearing ugg boots look cool.

You can also wear ugg boots instead of regular tall boots, as long as the rest of your outfit isn’t too dressy. Casual weekend outfits can be made even more comfortable and practical by throwing on a pair of ugg boots.

Here are some outfit ideas…

What To Wear With Ugg Boots by thehousewife

It is best to purchase ugg boots in neutral colors like brown, chestnut, sand or black. They will be the most versatile and will easily blend in with your outfits. Avoid colors like pink, purple, blue etc as this can look clown-like if you’re over 10 years old. If you want pink ugg boots, buy them for your kids.

I personally prefer and recommend the classic tall boots as I find them to be the most versatile. If you don’t want them tall, you can just roll them down. But the nice part of the tall ones is how nice and warm they keep your feet and your legs!

Winter Wear:

While most ugg boot fans wear them long before it starts snowing, some of you may want to keep them just for shoveling the driveway. If that’s the case, you may want to opt for the utilitarian-style elegance ugg boot with the a rubber sole to provide better traction.
