Is there anything less hot than winter dressing? It's so natural to simply say yes to jeans and tights consistently that my winter look should be an occasional portmanteau — peggings. Every leg swaddled in thick, standard-issue American Apparel tights that cover each square inch of leg, dark tubes unceremoniously stuffed into as well thick socks. (Thick socks, the archnemesis of adorable shoes — yet that is another adventure.) Cold climate implies concealing and walking through, and my winter outfits mirror a motivation to persevere through; it's survival of the fittest, not the best-dressed. In case I'm not cautious, I wind up peggings-ing all winter. With an end goal to keep away from this, I shop. With an end goal to adhere to a financial plan, I don't purchase anything. Hence peggings happen. It's an endless loop.
I've determined that this year will be distinctive. This year I have found the key to winter dressing that is had all the effect for me: When temperatures go low, take your gasp fixes high. Edited, bound, or generally cut, gasp trims ought to grasp your winter boots — demonstrate somewhat stockinged or boldly stripped lower leg. Every one of these years I'd been underestimating that a decent boot simply needs a bit of breathing room; an edited outline balances the unexceptional look of thin pants into dark boots.
The mystery uncovered itself to me in a dispatch shop when I discovered Hope's Macy boot in my size. I attempted it on with three or four unique coats, every one making another shape and outline that energized. The boot is tinged with biker-angel believability, a Rick Owens-lite sensibility that sets well with loads of denim. The heel isn't as thick as I'd like, however the boot is so great from every other perspective that I went under its spell. There is something Vetements-y about the way the boot verbalizes itself, practically as though it consumes up more room by giving me less to remain on. It's a bit of alarming however shockingly agreeable.
