Elizabeth (The Saga of Leather Boots)

Elizabeth’s autumnal color palette could not be more perfect for fall, with a deep pumpkin orange, mustard yellow, and burnished brown leather. Her delicate lace dress contrasts magnificently with the worn boots and braided belt. I love when objects develop a patina from heavy use, or more euphemistically, “love.” Leather boots are especially good at acquiring a record of where we’ve been. Scrapes, scuffs, and stains inevitably develop with time. Battle scars. The marks they earn serve as a record of where we’ve been, and deserve to be celebrated for the personality and authenticity they bring to any look.

This is why I believe every woman needs a pair of perfectly worn in leather boots for fall. Preferably broken-in herself, but a vintage pair will do just fine. Kokorokoko in Ukrainian Village has tons of amazing pairs of high quality vintage leather boots at great prices, so you should definitely check them out.
