Riding Boots Once Again

One of my favorite parts of this transition season is the ability for contrast! There’s such a small window of time each year where you can wear sweaters and shorts or mini dresses and boots. Together! Although the cold mornings and warm afternoons can be somewhat of a fashion headache, I love being able to dress for two seasons at once. At least while it lasts. For this outfit, I’ve pulled out my riding boots once again for the perfect transitional look.

If you had told me last year that my old pair of riding boots would be the style hero of 2024, I’d think you’re lying. But in the plot twist of all plot twists, this pair has been a repeat wear all year.

I’ve loved wearing them with shorter hemlines, and this mini dress is a prime example of why. The shorter hemline shows off the boot and gives off the perfect fall vibe in this lingering summer weather.

This isn’t the most complicated outfit. It’s actually one of the simplest, but sometimes a little simplicity is all you need. This look will also transition into colder weather with a leather jacket and a pair of tights. An easy fix to keep the mini dress going all year long!
