5 Under $50: Over-the-knee Boots
Thigh-high boots walk a fine line between ultra stylish and uber skank. These tips will have ready to walk the runway, not the street.
- When pairing with a short skirt, opt for opaque tights underneath.
- A stacked heel, especially wooden, anchors a sexier look while stilettos cheapen it.
- Stiletto heels look best with your skinniest jeans and chunkiest cable sweater.
- Make sure the opening of the boot fits your figure comfortably. Too tight and you’ll look like a cased sausage. Too loose, you’re Puss in Boots.
- For wear-to-work, a tailored knee-length skirt will keep you in the boardroom (and out of the bedroom).

Nothing feels more fresh and fierce than a stunning white ensemble, especially when the backdrop is healthy, sun-kissed summer skin.* But don’t fret, my pet.

Psst, do you hear that? It’s the beach calling…

AttennnnTION! These army-inspired jackets are perfect for crisp early Fall days. Who knew military looks could be so laid back? Although nothing inspires me to get up and at ‘em like a fun new article of clothing. But don’t call me materialistic, or I’ll make you drop and give me 20.
