We know what you're thinking--"do I really need another pair of leather ankle booties?" The short answer? Yes. Yes you do. And these
Free People Marquis Heel Boots are the ones. When it comes to a sturdy pair of goes-with-anything ankle boots,
Free People never steers us wrong. From the rounded toe, to the soft leather upper and generous stacked heel (4 1/4 inches to be exact--shorties rejoice!), you'd be hard-pressed to find a better looking set of boots, especially ones as wearable as these. These bad boys pair just as well with
jeans and a
tee as they do with dramatic
statement dresses, and will remain on your feet all year round. So whether your idea of late autumn includes treading lightly on fresh fallen snow, crunching leaves underfoot, or (for our SoCal babes) 70 degrees and sunny, these boots are sure to fit the bill. Here's how we'll be wearing them during the cooler months in our hometown of San Diego, but feel free to style them up in a way that works for you, and don't forget to share them on
the 'gram with the hashtag #VDVBabe.
Dressed Down
Come this time of year you're likely spending the majority of your free time making last-minute shopping trips to the mall, wrapping gifts and hanging with family. And with all that running around, comfort is key. Look cute but casual in your go-to pair of
One Teaspoon cutoffs with a
Western-inspired belt,
slouchy sweater, and of course, these
Free People Marquis Boots. Comfy enough to wear all day while strolling the shops, and polished enough to head to dinner and drinks with mom afterward.
Dressed Up
For
holiday parties and festive affairs, we'll be pairing our
Free People ankle boots with a statement-making
backless lace romper. The perfectly worn-in brown leather boots keep an all lace ensemble from feeling too precious, especially when layered up with our favorite pair of
cozy boot socks. With flashes of skin in all the right places this look is subtly sexy, and killer when paired with oxblood nails and an equally vampy lip. This is the perfect look for cozy first date cocktails or a fun girl's night out.
