Spring obsession by pelargon74 featuring ankle boots
I'm desperate for spring!
Rachel Comey boots are just a bit too high for me. I've owned a pair, but had to sell them. I'm sure they'd look great with C/E's The Roller jeans, an Etoile plaid shirt, Isabel Marant linen blend jacket and Jerome Dreyfuss Twee bag.
This plaid shirt looks great - perfect weekend wear and then smartened up by the black jacket.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking how perfect the height of the IM boots heel is - just a little bit higher and they would stray into having to take a spare pair of shoes in my bag territory! Do they come in black? x
I love those Rachel Comey boots, but I also find that they are just a little bit too high for me. I have a pair of RC Penpal boots that have the same heel height. I can wear them if I know I won't be doing a lot of walking, but I walk everywhere, so I rarely have an opportunity to wear them!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Olivia that the IM boots are the perfect heel height. I just wish they were a bit more durable like the Rachel Comey boots.
Jennifer and Olivia - I agree with you both! IM boots are the perfect heel height. I can wear them for an entire day, walking a lot. Olivia, they come in black this season. I've had them in black, but sold them becaue I wanted the taupe ones. I have the Hope boots, with a similair heel height, in black, so I decided that one black pair of ankle boots would be enough! Kind of miss them, though..). My L.D Tuttle boots are also the same height, and very comfortable. I had the RC Mars boots (pictured), and also felt that they were just a little to high. I'd wear them if I'd go out for a drink or so, but I want to be able to wear my shoes all the time, so they had to go.
ReplyDeleteI have the jacket version of the plaid shirt. It can be worn inside as a shirt, or jacket. I really like the colours.
Cool outfit. I like how the black jacket adds chicness to this look.
ReplyDeleteAïssa - I agree. I love that jacket, but it's so expensive, 540 euros I think...I've looking for the perfect blazer like jacket for years, but never find one that's not too formal looking. Linen is good in that way, a bit softer somehow.
ReplyDeleteI love this, and agree that it's very difficult to find a black blazer that doesn't look too formal. There's that one famous picture taken by Garance Dore, where the woman is very a black blazer and grey sweat pants (I'm sure you know which one I'm talking about!) Anyway, that was a truly perfect black blazer!
ReplyDeleteI know! You're so right, that is the perfect blazer! I think that the photo is taken outside an IM store, so it's probably an IM blazer. I love everything about it.
ReplyDeletethis is pretty much how i want to dress every day. and like everyone else i agree that the genius in the IM boots is in the heel height and perfectly slim toe/boot opening. the ankle opening in the rachel comey versions are just too wide for a flattering enough fit. love your picks! :)
ReplyDeleteMiss Sophie - Me too! I'd like to find the Roller jeans in black, but they're sold out at Revolve Clothing. I have J Brand Krys in a blue wash, very similair to these. The black ones are available at Net-a-Porter, but overpriced like most US brands there:(
ReplyDeleteI would swap the plaid shirt for a blue one but for the rest I totally agree with the choices.
ReplyDeleteAngie - Thanks for stopping by! I love plaid, just can't get enough of it, especially blue/red combinations. A blue shirt would be good as well.
