Hi again, remember when I said I'd be better.  Riiiiiight. I'm sure I have a good excuse somewhere up my sleeve, but let's just all celebrate the fact that I'm back and let bygones be bygones shall we.  Mostly because today, I'm beating the old, shoes-you-have-to-have-this-fall/winter drum to the tune of OTK boots.  When they first hit the scene, I was a little no-thank-you-I'll-pass-on-account-of-the-fact-I'm-not-Julia-Roberts-ala-Pretty-Woman.  However, they continue to come back, time and time again and I just adore the pair that I ended up with.  They are great to wear with or without tights, give you a nice, clean, chic line, plus they are knock-outs.  This time of year, I'm digging a good combo with a pretty chiffon dress. Light and breezy, easy to layer, and looks great with these boots.
