Marni top, random leggings, Chloe shearling-lined boots
You will not believe how quietly I can sneak out in these gum-soles
Inclement weather is always a good excuse to go a little more casual at work, and, since New York is in for a dreary few days, I thought I would break out my new gum-soled Chloe utilitarian boots (and leggings, damn it all). While I know some are still on the fence about the new luxe hiking boot trend, I say if you live somewhere where the weather gets awful, it just makes sense. Even heeled versions most often have sturdy rubber soles with traction, and some (like these Chloes) even have cozy shearling or fur lining. Could there be anything more practical for winter? I, for one, see them as a God-send and a happy alternative the huge fuzzy rabbit boots I usually trudge around in when it's 20 degrees outside, which, along with my long puffy coat, layers of arm warmers and mittens and gloves, scarf, and some kind of hat with ear-flaps, make me look like one of the crazy bag ladies that live at the corner. Now I'll just look like a crazy bag lady who stole someone's shoes.
Some cute utilitarian options that run the gamut from Victorian to street to undeniably luxurious (I'm looking at you Burberry):
I love this outfit! Your blog is my new favorite.
