You Asked...I Tell

Need a kick in the "boot"-ie! I responded to one of my blog follower's questions with this. Thought I'd share just in case you cared to know.

Princess Rachel asked: I need a nice brown boot...any ideas/tips???
Princess Pookie's Response:
Hey Rachel-Here's my opinion on boots. Take or leave it--I know I have crazy opinions!:) Cheap boots look like cheap boots--final answer! (Those of you reading this I know what you're thinking..."Boot Brat"! Yes, I do have cheap, or should I say inexpensive, boots in my closet too.) Boots are definitely an investment! If you can afford it--and if you haven't bought anything for yourself in over a year you can afford it-my advice is to buy a "timeless" pair that you love and can wear for a long time. Sure styles change but there are a lot of classic styles out there. My assumptions...You're a mom so probably nothing with a heel, something that can be worn with skirts AND jeans (And shorts in the winter if you're me!), and matches all styles. Here are the three choices I directed her to.
Choice A-classic brown boot with a bit of flair. LOVE THESE! However, you'll be eating Top Ramon for a while with a purchase like this.
Choice B-Little boring but will never go out of style. If you're wanting something a little more sassy go with a wedge or kitten heel. A little more trendy but still comfortable. Check these out.
Choice C
My brown boots are "Miz Mooz" and I love them! I know all the ones I've shown you are pricey. So there ya have it...Princess Pookie's opinion. Happy boot shopping!

So, which style did Rachel choose? When you get the guts to make the investment/purchase, make sure you let us know.

Boot Buying Advice: If you are going to throw down some green for a pair of boots, MAKE SURE THEY ARE COMFORTABLE or you won't wear them-no matter how fabulous they are!

Boot Outfit Challenge: Pull those summer capri's back out and wear them with your boots! Now that's what I call Princess Pookie fashion!

A. Rolled up capri: YES!

B. Wide leg capri: YES!

C. Straight leg "ankle" length capri: Not so much! These have potential to look more like you are wearing "floods" rather than a cute capri with a boot.

P.S. It's not normal for your foot to go numb in a pair of boots. Or in any pair of shoes for that matter! It happened to me just today. I was sitting at dinner-in a restaurant-and yes, I had to slip my boot off. Good thing my sock didn't have any holes! Get this...I was wearing a cheap pair of booties from Payless. Serves me right for wearing cheap boots!
