It's always refreshing to see Fashionistas on campus pushing the limits of typical “going to class” attire. I was immediately drawn to this Fashionista's boots and the way she paired them with the comfiest outfit. I admired the way she didn't let a heel on a boot stop her from wearing some thick winter leggings and an oversized grandpa sweater, and I photographed her right away. The lace-up bootie is very “in” this season and can be found at nearly any fashionable shoe store. There are many variations on this style boot, and there's sure to be one out there perfect for your style. In a more casual style college town, the suede boot with a stacked heel and a sweater fold-over top could not be a more perfect fashion statement while headed to class or for dressing up with some skinny jeans. This Fashionista found this great pair of boots at American Eagle for one steal of a price.
You can find some variations on this boot at nearly any of your favorite shoe stores in town. Just added to my Christmas wish list were these awesome Dolce Vita booties. They're especially cute on this model, who wore them with some chunky two-toned socks and red jeans. A pair similar to these can also be found at Aldo, with an adorable sweater embellishment at the ankle for some added comfort.
There are ways to make a small heel or wedge look very casual, as proven by this Fashionista. Try switching up your daily outfit routine for class, and show your campus that you can still look fashionable and comfy for a long day of studying. A pair of booties as featured in this article is the perfect place to start!
