Taupe and Cognac

Saturday, November 05, 2011

I didn't have longevity expectations for this pair of cognac boots. Season #2 is still young, but so far, so good *knocks on wood* Will you be walking around in cognac shoes this season?

necklaces: Banana Republic long pearl (similar);
Forever 21 pearlescent beads & flowers (similar; similar; similar)
top: ASOS wrapped front ruched sleeve blouse (similar)
belt: J.Crew piped glitter (similar; similar)
ring: Forever 21 delicate etchings (similar)
pants: LOFT black modern skinny (this season's version sold here)
bag: H&M snake-embossed envelope (similar)
boots: Old Navy sliver-wedge (plus wide-calf - this season's; the real deal)

  1. Hah, the ON seems to have held up pretty well...looks as new as the first time I saw it. And I am looking for cognac boots right now...but I don't want to splurge on it right now since most are not warm enough for the frigid Northeast winters.

  2. Still looking for a decent pair, but not really in a rush since I have so many pairs of shoes. : ) Love the pop of pink in this outfit!

  3. Super cute jacket!

    The boots match the belt so nicely!

    Cognac would be a nice color to add to my boots collection!!

  10. I love when an item of clothing outlives my expectations...it doesn't happen nearly often enough :)

    I am loving the Zara jackets you've had on here lately! This is one I may have to check out myself.

  13. I haven't tried shoes from Old Navy for years- these are making me want to give them another shot. They are like fabulous Leoffler Randall at a fraction of the price.

  14. Yay for boots-wearing weather! I loved all the outfits you wore with these boots last winter and I'm glad to see them reappear :) All of your Zara pieces look so good on you - it makes me wish we had a store here so I could try some pieces on.

  15. @Jarucha - Hmm... that sure is a challenging dilemma. Aside from winter boots (thick padding, fur, etc) I don't know if there are any "normal" boots that will withstand frigid winters. Impatient me would buy any old pair and wear thick socks to keep me warm :) Good luck with your hunt!

    @Stylepint - Lucky duck! I have the smallest feet of anyone I know, so no sharing shoes :/

    @KDot - Ahh geez, so sorry to hear ON Canada doesn't offer these boots. Have you tried Steve Madden Intyce? It looks really similar to these, but of course both are a dupe for the expensive original, Loeffler Randall Matildes :)

    @Tara - Definitely do! Surprisingly I've gotten many wears out of this jacket already, both casual and dressier outfits.

    @Noelani - If you do try these, let me know how you like them!

    @SewPetiteGal - Zara online offers free shipping and free return shipping so you can try in the comforts of your own home! The TRF line runs smaller than the WOMAN's line. Off the top of my head I've seen Kileen and Jean say sz S from TRF fits them nicely.
