9 times out of 10 I wear my work clothes to weeknight happy hours & dinners but sometimes I just need a sartorial escape. Sometimes my JCrew tapered straight legs are too tight to be ‘happy hour comfortable’, sometimes I feel a little too conservative for after-hours, & sometimes I’m just afraid I’ll end up spilling queso on my white silk blouse.
On days that I just need to get. out. of my 9-5 threads I’ll reach for my trusty leather jacket, something layer-y if I’m feeling fun, a super easy & seasonally appropriate dress, & whatever boots I’m currently having a love affair with. This week’s flavor are these ultra perfect, miltary green, suede booties that I’ve been lusting over for weeks. They also come in black but I figured that I should really branch out, you know, to a muted green color. Watch out world, things are getting crazy up in hur.
For a low-key night with some favorite friends I quickly reached for this assortment & ended up being quite pleased with how it turned out. So next time you’re headed out for a happy hour with friends or a weekend brunch, try pairing a fall bootie with your outfit instead of those stilettos for a more casual chic look. & for a little more inspiration, check out how my #eastvweststyle loves styled their footwear below.
You have gorgeous legs, perfect for booties!
The green ones are PERFECT! Love this whole look and I’m stealing that jacket the next time I’m over. Just saying.

You look amazing! I love the booties, and the leather jacket / army vest combo is super cool.
Thank you! ‘Tis the season for layering – especially with your favorite jackets!

I have these booties too and absolutely LOVE them! And, like you, am so glad I branched out and got the olive green! I also love how you layered your vest over your leather jacket…I’m totally going to have to try that!

I’m a huge fan of the jacket layering. Instead of purchasing another jacket, you can create your own!

Finally found my neutral booties for fall from Coach.

I love how the booties dip down in the front. I haven’t seen that before and it’s a really nice detail.
Nice detail AND removes the piece of the boot that typically rubs the front of your ankle raw. Brilliant.

Love your jacket.
