Once winter comes, I don’t want to wear anything but thick socks and boots.  I miss my Supergas and my ballet flats dearly, but it’s just too cold and too wet to let them out of the house. This becomes a particular pain when my outfit doesn’t want to be paired with a riding boot or a motorcycle boot. It needs something a little more delicate.  Additionally, sometimes my outfit is busy or I’m wearing a long tunic and cutting my legs off with a taller boot is simply not called for.  This is where the ankle boot comes in.

Ankle boots can be paired with anything for a sleek and modern update. Lots of them have hidden wedges as well, and we all know how flattering those are– VERY.
