My obsession with dark florals continues with this fabulous top! I love this trend, and obviously can’t get enough! Wear it with jeans, a skirt, dressy pants, under jackets, sweaters, and any faux fur vest!!! Add some over-the-knee boots and statement earrings, and you have the perfect fall look!!! I’ve had this vest for a couple of years, and it just keeps getting better! I’ve linked some other faux fur vests for you below! They will always work!!! This post is full of links, as per request! Remember I will NEVER post anything I wouldn’t wear myself! My lipstick is also linked! This color is one of my favorites ever!
But let me talk about the OTK (over-the-knee-boot) for a second. There was a comment on my Instagram feed about me wearing this style of boot in relation to my height. I guess that I actually thought about that a little bit too, BEFORE I got these. They were a gift to me while I was over in Paris last fall. When I first saw them, I thought, “Nope, probably won’t work for my short legs.” But then when I put them on……well it was another story! I was instantly hooked. So…I guess what I’m saying is, don’t underestimate what you can and can’t wear. If you are really in love with a particular look or style, there’s ALWAYS A WAY to make it work for you! I never thought I could pull these off, and they don’t work with everything, but they definitely work with enough to make them worth their while, AND…they make me feel SO TALL!

Thanks for your blog on over the knee boots. I’m 5 foot and have always wanted to wear them but feared my legs were too short. I’m going to try a pair on this winter and see

Hi Naomi!!! I’m so happy you want to do something NEW!!! We all should! XO
Wow, Thanks for the inspiration. I have all the pieces, just needed an idea of how to wear my vest. I’m going to swap the jean for a mini jean skirt. Your one look helped me to create Two!!!! Have a Great weekend 🙂
Devora!!! HOW EXCITING to discover new ways to wear what you ALREADY have!!!! XO
I’m vertically challenged too (barely 5’4″ if that!) and I have always shied away from OTK boots thinking they would take up my whole leg! However, you’ve given me inspiration to go for it! So, I just purchased my first pair of OTK boots. I’m waiting for them to arrive and if they fit right, I plan to post them on my blog. Thank you, Shauna, for always being a genuine fashionista. 🙂
