Wearing: Forever 21 blouse and sequin shorts (similar), Old Navy sweater, vintage handbag, H&M tights, and Dolce Vita Jamison boots

My hunt for the perfect winter tights came to an end at H&M last month.  Their elusive 200 denier version is not only completely opaque, but seemingly indestructible due to their near-legging like thickness.  Naturally, I bought multiples since they're almost impossible to find in my neck of the woods.  They make wearing short shorts possible on chilly fall days, and for that, I'm very appreciative.  Speaking of appreciative, my love of practical and comfortable low-heeled ankle boots is still growing. Gotta love a wearable boot with a simple silhouette that can be worn all day without the pain of higher heels. No plans to get rid of my five and six-inch heels anytime soon, though.

My low-heeled obsession all started with the Aldo Qualheim and Sam Edelman Louie boots I bought this summer, and with the addition of the Dolce Vita Jamison to my closet, my collection is almost complete.  After debating between the Dolce Vita Jamison, Steve Madden Pembrook, and Report Marks, the Jamison became the clear winner. The combination of stacked brown heel, black suede upper, inside zip, and black pull tab all had me at hello. I've always had a weakness for boots with a brown heel and black upper; they have a rugged vibe that appeals to me. Once I break them in, they'll be paired with the skinny jeans that I've rekindled my romance with.

Such a cool outfit, you pull off sequin shorts effortlessly and somehow make them so wearable with the rest of your casual outfit. Love it!

Great tip on the H&M tights- I hate it when tights have a sheer factor; totally not what I'm looking for! :)

Thanks for swinging by my blog! Don't be a stranger!
