HOW TO MAKE A FASHION STATEMENT WITH KNEE BOOTS

Snakeskin top with Knee BootsIf you did not receive your regular email alerting you that a new post is waiting on you, then you might need to re-subscribe. I have had SEVERAL (way more than I care to count) ladies email me that all at once they were no longer receiving my daily emails. I have been using a free program that takes care of that service, but they aren’t doing a great job. So, yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and go with a service that isn’t cheap. Not only is it not cheap, but it has a HUGE learning curve associated with getting started. I spent hours and hours trying to get everything working to no avail, so I finally chucked the laptop and went to the lumber company to help out for 4 or 5 hours. There is a good reason for the saying about teaching an old dog a new trick. ?
Knee Boots with snakeskin topBut, you see this smiling face? Yep, after I got home, I sat down and did what I always do…I Googled and YouTubed that sucker. I know that I am not the first, nor will I be the last, to have a problem. So, I research and research until I finally find a step by step tutorial to see what I had been missing. I was so proud when it finally told me that I had successfully signed up for the email, and then it showed up on my new email provider. I sure hate the learning curve associated with learning anything new, but there is no better feeling than knowing you can conquer anything if you strive long enough. And, providing you don’t throw the laptop out into oncoming traffic. Lol!
Snakeskin tank and cardiganHow did you like my coat series? I loved all of them, but I couldn’t afford to KEEP all of them, so I am interested to hear which coat you think that I kept. Give that some thought, and comment at the end your guess. In the meanwhile, take a gander at this snakeskin camisole by CY. I bought this at a local boutique in town, and I bought this one in brown tones, and a different one in gray. I know some of you can’t stand the thoughts of wearing snakeskin, but I think it is pretty cool. This is a flowy top, so it doesn’t show any of my lumps and bumps. If you are larger chested, then you might prefer something with more structure. I know some of my friends say that a tank like this would make them look like they were wearing a tent. One way to fix that problem is to wear a belt or do a half tuck into your pants. You know your body best, so buy what looks the best on you. These boutique clothing brands are hard to find on the internet, so I found some that are similar for you to see.


Gold HoopsThese gold hoops have been my go-to this entire fall. I love the textured metal, but the size of these hoops is what I love the most. The Randee set consists of 4 beaded bracelets on an elastic cord. The large wooden bracelet is part of that set, and the other three bracelets are part of the Wilkinson set. Plunder jewelry makes excellent Christmas presents since it is affordable, and the quality is nice. The beautiful long wooden necklace with the tassel was c/o  Kay and Star on Etsy. I have had this necklace for over a year, but they always have gorgeous pieces.

Long Brown Tassel NecklaceThe long cardigan was one that I bought a couple of months ago with Nordstrom had their Anniversary Sale. I love the golden color and how the length hits right above my knee. I can wear this length cardigan with a dress, and it usually looks perfect.


Suede Knee High BootsGurls, these boots are gorgeous, and they are on sale! I love my suede over the knee boots, and I find myself wearing them all the time. I like the lighter color, and I haven’t had any problems so far with keeping them clean. These have a chunky 2 1/2″ heel, and they fit true to size. I am wearing my usual size nine, which fits me perfectly. Here is the link, but hurry because these won’t last long. Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom of my post. Now, I have two questions to ask you.

Question 1:

Which coat do you think I kept? The Leopard print, the Hot Pink with faux fur, or the Lilac wool coat?

Question 2:

What gift would you personally like to receive that is 50.00 or below?

  1. I would have chosen the leopard so I think that’s the one you kept, lol! I would love to have a few items from Old Navy myself. Thanks!

      I think you kept the leopard print one! It looked so great on you, as they all did! I did like how the pink one looked on you too. If it were me, I’d keep those two (instead of one). ? As far as the $50 gift, I love gift cards too. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Ulta or Sephora, LOFT, Chico’s, Macy’s, Home Goods. As you can tell, my loves are reading, clothes & cosmetics shopping and decorating my home!

    The coat series was great. You and your daughter in law must have had sooooo much fun enjoying the snow. You are so brave with animal print. And you like color so I am trying to decide. You had the brightest smile with animal print so I am going with that one.
    There are so many factors for me when deciding in a coat. But here in the northwest a hood is a requirement for all my coats. I don’t buy one with out it. Because of the rain and cold. So if it was me I would get the pink one. It’s always fun to have a splash of color in the winter time.
    If I was to win a prize a gift card to one of the places you shop would be fun.

  3. Hoping it was the leopard coat so we can see you wear it again! I think a Plunder gift card would be great…or anything fun from their catalog. Love tassel necklaces!

  4. Thank you for persevering with all the computer issues, your readers appreciate it! I think you kept the leopard coat? A handbag, scarf or poncho would be an awesome gift♡

  5. Kelly Palmer says:

    Love the boots! I think that you kept the Leopard coat because it is reversible so it is like getting two coats for the price of one 😉 I would love a gift card to Amazon.

  6. I think the leopard coat anytime you can get two for the price of one it’s great.
    A gift under $50? Gift cards are wonderful, then I can get what I need!
    Enjoy your blog and all the great fashion tips for us older gals. ?

    Hi! I vote for the lilac one – that might be because I want it but it isn’t warm enough for Boston. An amazon gift card is great but also a book, stationary, a fun cooking item, food, earrings, leggings, hair accessory, candle, a monogrammed water bottle

    I think the leopard print coat was absolutely gorgeous! I’m gonna say that’s the one you chose. A gift under $50 I’d like to receive would be a gift card for dinner at a favorite restaurant.

  9. No question about it–the leopard coat! Gift cards make both the receiver and the recipient happy.
