KNOCKIN BOOTS

Misleading blog title? Kinda. But I like it!  So, how's everyone been? Let's see.... We endured our annual heat wave that arrives every September.  I was thinking of having a bikini car wash to raise money for my A/C bill, but settled for selling half of my closet instead. Football is back and we painfully watched our Chargers lose to the stupid Texans on MNF. Embarrassing to say the least. I don't like to cuss on here, (shocking I know), so we will leave it at that. Oh, and all Fall everything has officially taken over your favorite mags and racks!

I posted a little something something for the fellas a couple weeks ago, and I was waiting for the first Fall trend to hit me before I wrote something for the ladies. Then it happened...Nordstrom....Shoe Department...Ankle Boots....EVERYWHERE! They kind of remind me of the ones I used to rock back in the 9th grade. I clearly remember the Summer before entering high school, when I sat back and made a conscious decision to change my look. I was stuck in the wannabe chola/hiphop fly girl era and knew that if I wanted to be taken seriously at my new school I couldn't possibly show up in a bodysuit or anything with the words "Cross Colours" written on it. (And if you grew up in the 90s, please don't act like you didn't own one of the two items I just spoke of).  So, I looked through magazines and collected images of the style I wanted to try and replicate for myself. Little did I know this was called "Inspiration". I wanted to do something completely different and more grown up. After all, I was going to be a FRESHMAN in high school! I had to make a name for myself and I didn't want it to be "La Shorty". I settled for a classic school girl look. Cardigans, button ups, floral prints, skirts, dark denim and ANKLE BOOTS! 

I knew the 90s were making a comeback after spending this entire Summer watching clueless girls wear high waisted everything with nothing on top. Oh, and bodysuits have somehow snuck back into their closets too. Both of which I like the way I like my Hot Cheetos, in moderation. Needless to say, the 90s are back and I feel it is our obligation to take back our era and show these youngins how it's done! So, let's start Fall off with the right pair of Ankle Boots and let Cher and Dionne start taking notes! Get em' Ladies!
