Around the start of last October, I noticed my boot collection was beginning to look a little…worn. And I don’t mean the broken in, cool vintage look. Nope. They were all peeling, soles hanging on by a thread type of worn look. To be fair I’d purchased most of these boots back in 2010 so they have served me well.

SO I NEED NEW BOOTS!

In the wake of my fashion emergency and it being my birthday month, I complied a list of must have boots from Aldo Shoes that I plan to add to my collection. Not all at once of course. Your girl is still mindful of her budget in the new year. Instead, I will purchase one or two pairs at a time when they go on sale. If there is anything I’ve learned in these last few years about shopping on-line is that patience is key. Everything eventually goes on sale.

The Kaicien

I’ve been eyeing this pair for a while. I don’t know what it is about this shoe in the color Cognac but it just speaks to my soul. I see these being paired with so many looks. Aldo just needs to come off this full price so I can add them to my cart.

The Wicoeni

I’ve been wanting a pair of black Chelsea boots for years. I’m not sure why I never just bit the bullet and bought a pair but I will now. In my current shoe rotation I wear a pair of black suede ankle boots at least twice a week. But they have a higher heel than I would like to wear in my classroom. Adding this pair to my collection would also add some extra comfort.

The Grenani

Combat boots are a must have for any fashion lover. I love wearing my black pair with dresses to add a masculine touch to my look. I just recently donated a light beige pair that I loved wearing with ripped boyfriend jeans. These brown combat boots may be the first shoe purchase of this year.

The Veniel

Cowboy boots!!! Another type of shoe I drool over when scrolling through Pinterest but have yet to wear myself. I used to think wearing them wouldn’t mesh well with my South Florida lifestyle. To hell with rules at this point. Fashion is fun and it is what you make of it.
