Thrifty Threads: Styling Over the Knee BootsOk, I'm kinda obsessed with these suede over the knee boots. Maybe it's because they were such a great purchase from TJ Maxx {I believe they were just under $40} or maybe it's because over the knee boots are considered a "tricky trend" and I'm glad I feel I've mastered them. I don't know. Whatever it is, I adore these boots and more importantly, I'm happy to show you easy ways to style them. Again, over the knee boots can feel super intimidating, but they don't have to be!And in this week's Thrifty Threads, here's another way to rock over the knee boots.
