How to Rock a Dress 'n' Boots Combo

"I just bought a cute pair of short boots. I love them with jeans, but want to try them with a dress. Do you have any ideas?"

We love the oh-so-stylin’ boots ‘n’ dress combo. Flouncy or fitted, frilly or simple, any spring dress can get a major style boost from a cute boot! Here are some of our faves…


These boots are shorter, so they're perf for springy temps.
 

Nautical stripes are big this season. A ship-shape tunic makes the booties perf for strolling around the mall or for chillin’ out on a Saturday. Add a bright sweater and tights if you’re still chilly!

Inexpensive rubber bracelets keep the vibe casual. Pile them up on one arm, or wear some on each wrist. Fun, but not too girly.

A floral frock keeps your stompers boho cool. Looks sweet on its own this spring, but right now keep it cozy with a (faux) furry vest.

For a more sophisticated vibe, try a ruffled dress with a fitted waist. The loose shape of the dress, combined with the simple boots gives your outfit an effortless look.
