Good afternoon, Tuesday. It's my first day off in so very long, I'm in between gigs till tomorrow (no rest for, well, you know) and enjoying watching reality television and trying to nurse this headache I've had for the past few days. It's gloomy outside and the traffic in the city today is brutal, so happy to be home. For a change, and not for long.
And the chill is returning to the air after a few days of warmth, as is what normally happens in late Autumn. And there's nothing more Fall/Winter than LL Bean, and you know I do an LL post at least once a year, because their brand of true, seasonal grit is just all that.
I am obsessed with these retooled duck boots as part of their Signature collection. i'm not sure I can rock those high guys, but the more classic short edition is just so good for the elements, not to mention beyond adorable with skinny grey jeans, a motorcycle jacket, and knit hat. I'm madly in love with this boot- both practical and street cred cool all at once. If you've to to brave the impending chill, do it right, would you? I adore the Woolrich "ombre" thing happening on the fabric- LL Bean and Woolrich = the great American winter boot. It takes a cool girl to wear a mannish boot, and I for one think this boot kicks an ass in all the right ways- can also see these with a denim shirt, a blazer, a string of pearls, and some skinny cords if you're so inclined. Limitless possiblities for cuteness really- you could even try these with a dress if you're that type. I myself would most likely look like a mental patient if I tried that, but you should just go for it if you can. I give you permission. It's still a free country and it's all about choice when it comes to womenly decisionsl, right? (Thank goodness).
I'm all about these, just know that. I discovered many years ago in New York that having the right gear for the elements makes a huge difference in your psyche, and these classic but remodeled duckies just may get me through the gloom. Cause that's what's up this LL not cool J kind of Tuesday around the way in the 718. Baby, it's gettin' cold outside. XO
