Fashion Fridays: Givining 'em the Boot

September 15, 2011 8:00:00 PM EDT

Tall bootBack in the 70's Nancy Sinatra sang her infamous "These Boots are Made for Walking," and boy are they ever this season. If there where one fashion item that I would encourage people to get, without a doubt, find yourself a great pair of boots.

There are so many different styles out there: booties, ankle boots, tall boots, dressy, casual, riding boots, heels and flat boots.I find riding boots to be the most versatile and most Maine appropriate boot. They are classic & polished and look good old & beaten up or brand-new. It is well worth the money to get a pair that fits right and is comfortable.

Boots like a handbag or purse should be an investment piece and they should last you not just this fall/winter but for seasons to come. For this reason, it is important to do the research and find a pair of boots that not only look amazing but are practical for you life style. I can't stress this more.....especially in areas of the country that get heavy snow fall. I would also recommend dark brown or black boots. They are the most flattering and will remain in style. Trendy colorful, white or lighter shades of tan colored boots just drawn attention to your foot.

Boots are an accessory that work best when they compliment an outfit and are not the focal point of your look. So get out there and like Nancy said "are ya ready boot?....start walking!"
