BROOKS BROTHER - The prices are high here, but quality is great. (My husband will only shop here for work clothes.) For those of you who like BB, clearance items are up to 50% off clearance

It's been extremely cold here in Boston and what better way to keep my warm legs than over the knee boots?

 I have now collected about 5 pairs over OTK boos over the years - 3 pairs of flat leather ones, and 2 pairs of heeled suede boots.

My most recent pair is the  COLE HAAN MARINA OVER THE KNEE BOOTS - these are currently 30% off on the Cole Haan site with only a few sizes left. During this President's Day weekend, you can get an additional 25% off with code PRES25. I purchased mine at the end of last summer during the Nordstrom Anniversary Pre-Sale. The other pair is by REPORT; I purchased mine several years ago but THIS is a similar pair from this year.

I love the look over an oversized top flowing over skinny jeans or leggings.
First up was this red OVERSIZED SWEATER from Zara paired with a pair of  Levi's  FLAWLESS SUPER SKINNY JEANS. I love adding a large necklace to plain pieces like this. This JCREW LAYERED CIRCLE NECKLACE has been on heavy rotation these past few months. It's currently 50% off too!


I adore stripes and can never have enough stripes in my closet.
Here, again I've paired  an over-sized Zara sweater - this time a turtleneck with thick stripes. I lucked out and found this at Zara on super clearance last year for under $10. HERE is a similar one if you're interested. Once again I added a STATEMENT NECKLACE to this top.


We got some snow earlier this week so there's snow and mud everywhere. To avoid dirtying or even damaging my suede boots, I've actually been changing from my winter boots into the over the knee boots in my office. Here is a picture of my less glamorous winter boots - the SOREL WINTER FANCY LACE II. I again purchased these at the end of last winter when they were on sale for about $80.


Depending on your office environment, you can definitely wear OTK boots with more office appropriate clothes as well. My company has a business casual dress code in general, but differ drastically from department to department. However, when I meet with clients, I can't wear jeans, so for a more conservative office look, I wore the same Cole Haan boots with a dress and a black blazer to meet with clients. This is an old picture, but I wore the exact same outfit with a blazer over.



I'm always afraid to wear denim with denim in fear of looking like I'm wearing a "Canadian tuxedo," but I think this look can be done right with the right color combination. I've paired a pale blue chambray EX-BOYFRIEND SHIRT from MADEWELL with darker blue jeans and topped it off with OTK boots.



Lastly, I'm sharing an outfit I've repeated many many times before. This time I'm wearing flat Dolce Vita over the knee boots. I wrote an extensive review on flat over the knee boots HERE.
