Black over the knee boots Archives - Kelsey Kaplan Fashion

Angora Vest

If you’ve been keeping up with with Kelsey Kaplan Fashion, then you already know I’m a big fan of a mini dress and over-the-knee boots. Throw in an angora vest and what you get is perfection. Leave it to Current Clothing to carry such an ensemble.

You can never go wrong with a monochromatic look. Just like pairing black and black, you can do the same with virtually every color in the rainbow. Already stocked up on enough brown faux fur, it was only natural to scoop up this gray vest. For today’s outfit of the day (#ootd), I kept things simple with a gray color scheme, and styled this fuzzy vest with a faux suede tunic. Only five feet tall, this top fit me as a mini dress, but it could be worn as a long-line top too. To create contrast, I accessorized with sheer black lace stockings, an ombré clutch, and suede over-the-knee boots – what a difference a little lace makes! I polished off the look with gray and gold jewelry and created a smoky eye with the Lorac Pro Palette.

Some Free People is Better than No Free People

Clothes can have sentimental value. As silly as it sounds, sometimes it is just too hard to part with the dress you wore the night of your rehearsal dinner, or the outfit you wore the day you were hired for your dream job. Six Octobers ago, I rocked this Free People dress on my first date with my future hubby. Now, every anniversary of our first date, I break out this little number in an attempt to relive a monumental night. There’s nothing wrong with re-wearing the same piece over and over again, but if you’re going to do it, keep it up with the times.

Back in 2009, I wore this dress solo, with my hair long and straight, a nude lip, and a pair of peep-toe booties. Fast-forward to October 2015, and I completely transformed the look with a faux fur stole from Bebe. This simple addition not only fancied up the look, but it brought out the peacock design on the bodice of the dress. I further switched things up by incorporating black Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots. Minis and OTK boots is totally a thing this season, so this combo helped me refreshen the ensemble to current clothing standards! I polished off the look with a high ponytail and some glitzy earrings from Jest Jewels.

Think twice before you give that special article of clothing away. Chances are it’ll come back in style and you’ll be able to spruce it up with the latest and greatest in fashionable finds.

Sweater and Shorts Combo

Shorts and a sweater is a great outfit choice during the early days of fall. Maybe it’s still too hot to wear jeans, sweaters, and closed toe shoes – this combo is the perfect happy medium.

When I came across this bow back sweater at Ambiance, I knew just the right bottoms to pair with it, faux leather shorts! Think of this ensemble as the steamy version of a typical sweater and shorts outfit. Just like you would balance out a fitted bottom with a loose top, the same rule applies here. That is why I styled this slouchy sweater with a tailored short. Although a high-heel black leather bootie would have worked fine, I decided to take it up a notch with over-the-knee suede boots. It won’t be long before we are all living in leggings and boots, why not take advantage of bare legs while we can?!

The Black Fringe Jacket

The fringe frenzy continues, but this time it is in the form of a jacket – you can never own enough jackets if you live in San Francisco. Between the moderate climate and Karl the Fog, if you’re walking on the shady side of the street, it can get chilly. When you find a statement piece that you just cannot live without, it is important to think of outfit possibilities and whether or not you’ll have enough use for the item. It was a no brainer when I came across the Glamorous Dropping a Line Black Vegan Leather Jacket – black is extremely versatile and the three quarter length sleeves are perfect for fall in Northern Cali.

Over the next two days I am going to demonstrate different ways to rock this standout piece, starting with a jacquard skirt. You may recognize this printed mini from an earlier blog post, but I couldn’t resist styling it again with over the knee boots and this vegan leather jacket. Perfect for girls night out or an evening of cruffin tasting (I wore this outfit during the Mr. Holmes Bakehouse fall menu release party), you will get noticed in this ensemble. If the a-line thing doesn’t suit your fancy, pair it with a bold pencil skirt for an edgy look instead. With already a lot going on, I polished off the look with a solid black top and black tassel earrings. Stay tuned for The Black Fringe Jacket round two.
