Oh là là... the mid calf boot

With the start of Fall only days away (yay!!) and some refreshingly cool temps right around the corner, it is time to bring out the boots.  The most important question - Which style is right for me?

The beautiful thing about the millions of boot varieties available right now is that it is almost impossible not to find the right boot for you.  Granted, not every boot is perfect for every look, but you can find a pair that will meet most of your needs based on your lifestyle, wardrobe and overall style.

I wanted to focus in on a type that tends to get lost in the shuffle... the mid calf boot.  With all of the booties, shoeties, knee high and over the knee boots, this style doesn't get the airtime it deserves.  These boots aren't for everyone, but if you are one that likes to kick around in a casual bootie, then this style is for you.  Even more important, I find mid calf versions much more flattering and versatile than the standard Dicker boot knockoff.





Mid Calf boots have lots of personalities.  They can be tough...

They can be demure...

Imagine a boot that is a few inches shorter... loved this shot.


A little bit country...

You can't go wrong with the mid calf boot.  Short dresses, long skirts, skinnies, possibly even pair of leather leggings... the mid calf boot will take you far.  Definitely my boot of choice this Fall.
