Sheer Insanity


This sheer plaid shirt is insanely cool. At first glance it looks like a regular plaid or flannel shirt, but up close you can tell its sheer and dressier than a flannel. It photographed pretty bright but in real life its a much deeper red so I paired it with black skinny jeans and accessories (links below). When it gets warmer I am planning to wear it with my black skater skirt to go out in but until then I must brave the cold weather and pile on the layers.

LBBs (Little Black Boots)

We are halfway through winter but for those of you who live in a climate like mine, the cold is far from over. I was recently online and in-store shopping for my own pair of LBBs to get me through the next few months and I figured I would share my online picks with you.


Jeffrey Campbell Everly Boot in all Black - Karmaloop $195

I love the Everly as a winter option. If you live in a very snowy area the cutouts might not be for you but I love that they can show off a cozy pair of socks in the winter and transfer to spring and fall with bare feet. 


Dr. Martens 1460 8 Eye Boot - Karmaloop $120

Dr. Martens the Serena Boot - Karmaloop $150

Dr. Martens are great heavy duty boots that are perfect for an edgier winter look. I love how many colors and styles they come in. The green scuffs and laces of the first shoe are perfect for bringing just a touch of color to your LBBs. Then I've shown a plain option in the middle and last a slightly more expensive version of the plain black that is lined with faux fur - perfect for all cold weather babes. If I could I would buy them all. 
If you're looking to buy a pair of Dr. Martens in any color Urban Outfitters also has a great selection.


If you're looking for a heeled option I am obsessed with these JCs. The thick heel is perfect for winter and questionable weather and I love the lace up front.

Riff Raff Rain Boot - Nasty Gal $60 now on sale for $30!!

Rain Boots are necessary if you have to deal with rain and slush in the winter. I love this plain black option sold at Nasty Gal. The buckle detail adds a little bit of preppy style to this basic rubber boot. 

Topshop All Mine Boot - Nordstrom $160

A second option with a bit of a heel is this Topshop boot. I love the criss-cross buckles and metal detail. 

SixtySeven Whitely Boot - Nasty Gal $168

Last is this pair by SixtySeven that also has a cute metal detail at the toe. These shoes are like a heavier combat boot, perfect for the cold weather.


I hope you enjoyed my online pics for Little Black Boots to finish out the cold weather. Let me know which boots are getting you through the winter in the comments. I would love to check them out!
