Jane Austen would certainly have approved of these modest boots, especially their sensible heel, perky capped toe, curvaceous shape, and flirty but smart lace-up fronts. I’d wear these with a ruffled blouse, waist-nipping vest, and a long skirt.

Whatever it is you’re searching for (a date for Friday night, a rare book at the used book store, an envious glare from the girl in the next cube), you’ll find it, for certain, in these boots. They’re a gorgeous sienna color with a stacked heel and bronzed grommets and other detailing.
Priced delightfully under $70, these Prospectress Boots are not just easy on the eyes, but also on the wallet. Made from supple faux leather, these beauties lace up to create a look that's both vintage and fashion-forward. The sturdy yet stylish stacked heel adds just enough height to pair perfectly with skinny jeans or a floaty skirt. They're the epitome of versatility with a dash of charm, thanks to the bronzed detailing which gives them that extra je ne sais quoi. Ready to step up your shoe game? These boots might just be your perfect match.

Back in the early 1990’s, I fairly lived in my Doc Martens, so comfortable and stylish, especially with my Courtney Love-inspired babydoll dresses. I especially loved the Docs in odd colors, and these teal lace-ups remind me so much of the ones I used to covet.

Are these cowboy-inspired, or Victorian-inspired, or Boho? Maybe a bit of all three, but does it matter? They’re gorgeous and versatile and are sure to match anything you care to wear this fall.

I love these boots, and I can’t even say why… is it because of the chic color, the curvy shape, the obvious versatility… I’d wear these with patterned tights, a short skirt, and a slouchy top.

These boots are tall, statuesque, stately, and just plain fun. I’d wear these with opaque tights, a denim or corduroy romper, with little lace socks peeping out at the top… maybe a long-line vest to tie the outfit together…

These boots are so gorgeous, so classic, and so on-trend, you need to buy them now. Right now. Yesterday. What couldn’t you wear these with? Skinny jeans? Yes! Tights and a skirt? Yes. Tunics? Oh, yes! I’d wear minimal jewelry to let the shoes do the talking… but be sure to carry a wonderful bag to match!
There are so many gorgeous pairs of lace-up boots at all of my favorite shops, I’ll never be able to choose just one… but I’ve narrowed it down to these seven, and now I’m stuck… I’m leaning towards the grey ankle boots… or maybe the tall black ones… help! Which of these do you like best, and what would you wear them with? Please share!
