Swing Dress & Over the Knee Boots

Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee bootsI hope you had a wonderful and merry Christmas! We had a really nice and relaxing day! You may have peeped it on Snapchat… we opened presents and then lounged around watching Christmas movies all day. #Perfect. We watched Home AloneHome Alone 2, The Santa Clause and some horrible Lifetime Movie Network movie I can’t remember a title for lol.

The day after Christmas, we actually braved the mall and did some returns. WORST, right?! It was so wild. But, there are tons of amazing post-Christmas sales, so it’s definitely worth taking advantage of. I actually have one more gift I haven’t received yet… the Apple Watch! Do any of you have one? What do you think? Tell me in the comments, I’m dying to know. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to get one or not, but I’m leaning towards YES! Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-6Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-4‘Kay, so on to this outfit! I shot it last week when we were in Tallahassee, on campus. It was bittersweet to be on campus during Christmas break, when everything is so quiet. The first time I ever toured campus was during Christmas break of my senior year of high school. I had been rejected by my dream school, NYU, and had no idea where I was going to go. After touring the campus, I fell in love and the rest, as they say, is history. It just goes to show… life never goes how you plan. I’ve said it over and over, and if history has taught me anything, it’s that this lesson is TRUE. Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-5It all worked out as it should’ve. I ended up majoring in merchandising, moving to New York anyway, and who even knows where I would’ve ended up had I been at NYU. If your life hasn’t turned out as you’ve planned… don’t worry. You’ll end up where you need to be. Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-2You may remember this dress from my Thanksgiving post. I LOVE it and have basically been wearing it nonstop. It’s so comfy and cozy, super versatile, and a great layering piece. On Thanksgiving, you may remember that I styled it with this faux fur sweater vest. Well, this time around, I decided to go with a leopard scarf and black over the knee boots. I love the combination of burgundy and leopard… it’s my current favorite color combination, for sure! If you’re going to be on campus at Florida State, you obvi have to be wearing garnet and gold! Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-8I wore the black boots last in this post… and I stand by my assessment that they’re a GREAT buy at $79.99. Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-7Lush maroon swing dress and black over the knee boots-3
