This morning I heard humming coming from the other room.
I found Princess Sparkles "dancing" with our giant Nutcracker (the one she didn't break in half). She smiled and told me, "I'm going to marry the Nutcracker."

I almost missed "Fashion Challenge: Neutrals Week," hosted by Megan Mae Daily and Casual Chic Kiki. I've just been so distracted with the holidays (hosted a "Naughty or Nice" Bunco party last night). So today I decided I would wear every neutral they did this week in one outfit. The black feather hat (Monday), the gray leggings (Tuesday) and the brown sweater (Wednesday) are all from Forever 21. The cognac OTK boots (Thursday) are the ones I'm keeping since they're real leather and I love the color and style (it was between these and some faux leather ones from F21). Finally, the navy tank (Friday) is thrifted from another mom's garage via craigslist! Tomorrow's challenge is color, so I guess I could say my nails are purple!

It was a major life decision, but I'm glad I finally chose a pair of OTK boots. The F21 ones weren't that comfortable since they were the last pair left and a size too small. The BP ones were leather, on sale for less than $100 and my friends wanted them (which of course makes them that much more desireable). It's not quite as important as choosing a husband (aka Nutcracker), but pretty darn close...

These are the type of boots that I wear CONSTANTLY. They are super comfortable, and they can literally be worn with anything.

Great boots! You are a super stylish mommy. xo style, she wrote
Great boots! Perfect height. Your Daughters are too Cute!
i can never pull off boots :(
you are always good in colors and co-ordination. So this looks great on you. Blue and brown are perfect combo, very rich hues. The light brown boots gives a nice pop of "neutral" color.

After sorting through a zillion texted pictures my MiL sent me while she was trying to pick out a pair of riding boots, I'm going to say picking out a pair of boots is at least on par with picking a husband :)
And Princess Sparkles has good taste...I was totally going to marry the Nutcracker when I was her age, too! (The ballet gets me every time...)
Better to have comfortable boots then less expensive pair. Plus the pair you bought look similar to Frye boots. Very cute outfit and love the nail polish.
What great groom to have he's handsome and works in the kitchen..lol
This information is really good and I will say will always be helpful if we try it risk free. So if you can back it up.
