As you can probably imagine, everyone there was dressed to kill! Itching to wear my Stuart Weitzman Troika Boots for the first time, I showed up in a Free People mini dress. You can always count on FP for well-made and unique items. I adored the retro silhouette and bold pattern. The keyhole neckline was just right and the length was perfect for a shortie like me (I’m five feet)! I accessorized minimally with gold earrings and a matching watch.

A word about my undergarments…while this is one of my all time favorite pieces, it does require special undergarments. The keyhole is cut just right that no matter what your bra line will show. I overcame this “issue” by wearing a navy blue bralette. Also, although some refer to this item as a “dress,” including me, to average height folks it would probably be best described as a tunic. To compensate for the thin shirt-like fabric, I wore Maidenform shorts underneath.

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.

Speaking of summer sales, this black and blue mini dress from Urban Outfitters is marked down to $39.99 online, and ten dollars less in stores. Featuring a “mock-neck” and keyhole back, this little thing has a lot of personality. For last night’s San Francisco Fashion Week event, I rocked it with my brand new Stuart Weitzman over the knee boots. I polished off the look with black statement earrings, a high pony (thanks to be ladies at The Red Chair Salon) and a bright pink lip. If this doesn’t scream 1970’s I don’t know what does!

These boots are made for walkin’…after trying on countless knock-offs, only to be disappointed by the fit, I can say with confidence that these boots are worth every penny. Just like a new computer, camera, or any other high ticket item, designer fashions are an investment. After wearing these stunners for five hours straight, straight off of the shelf, my feet were 100 percent pain-free. If you’ve been contemplating a pair of SW boots, do yourself a favor and buy them. You won’t regret it and they fit like a glove. A reliable look for less is the Steve Madden Gorgeous OTK boot – they run large – size down one full size.
