Here is a round up of outfits I’ve worn in the last couple weeks! I’ve stayed cozy and comfy throughout the holidays.
One of my goals this year is to add more fun and color to my outfits and my first purchase to help with that is this cozy and colorful scarf from Amazon. it’s very affordable (around $15) and great quality for the price!

Tips for buying Blundstone boots: (links to all boots mentioned are at the bottom of the post)
Read a TON of reviews I read reviews on Blundstone’s site, on Amazon, on Backcountry, on Zappos. I wanted to get a feel for sizing & if people really felt these boots were worth it. The general consensus is they are. I also scoured instagram, Pinterest, & liketoknow.it for photos of people wearing them to see how they looked on different body types, sizes & with different outfits.
Consider sizing up a half size for comfort If you choose to get a different boot instead of the 1306 (which have the chisel toe–i.e. a square toe), I have read that going up a 1/2 size gives you a bit more wiggle room as far as width.
Consider which shaft height & ankle opening would look best on you I chose a mid-length shaft (& unfortunately they don’t give you this information, I just deducted it based on the look of all the different styles) because I wanted these to work with straight leg jeans, skinny jeans, leggings & dresses. There are different heights & different ankle openings (you can tell some ankle openings are wider than others) & I wanted a boot with a tighter ankle. I will say, these are tough to get on & off right now, but again, based on reviews they should loosen a bit with time.
Decide on a color& material For me, the rustic brown nubuck leather was a no-brainer because my wardrobe consists of mostly brown, but also because this rustic brown looks great with black. There is another style (the 1351’s, linked below) that has the rustic brown color & the stretchy part is black, which I considered, but I decided this color was best for me. There seems to be a black version of almost every style of boot as well. They also have a bunch of styles that come in suede, nubuck, canvas, & I think they even have a vegan leather option now.
Hopefully those tips are helpful in your search for your perfect Blundstone boots!
Long story short, a few years ago I was looking at a pair of boots from Target & I was so close to clicking “buy” on them when I stopped and thought to myself– “with where I live (very wet, slushy, snowy in the winter) I’ll need to buy another pair of these in a few years!”.
This is when I decided to look for an alternative & longer lasting option. Enter–Blundstone boots!
My sister has been talking about buying a pair for a long time so I started researching them and asked my followers about them (everyone who had a pair had raving reviews for them!).
I did extensive searching & reading ALL the reviews of the different styles (and there are quite a few styles!) & I settled on the 1306 pair.
It’s considered a “dress boot” so the tread isn’t as thick as the other styles, but I wanted this pair because of the height of the shaft, the fact that it has a chisel toe, and the color. It’s very similar to their other popular styles (the 550 and 1351,) but I liked the coloring, toe, & style of these just a tad more than the other options. The pair I bought isn’t thermal (like this boot), but with thick socks on, I find them warm & very comfortable for winter.
SIZING: I kept my regular size because the website said these run a bit longer than other styles & the chisel toe gave me more wiggle room. I’m glad I did because they’re very comfy (even with thick socks on!) and feel great on.
Final conclusion: these boots were definitely an investment–I have never spent this much on a pair of shoes before. But, they are made of quality leather & will last a good, long time if they’re taken care of! I am hoping I’ll love them for a long time & that I will get a lifetime of use out of them! I have treated mine with mink oil to condition the leather & I use a leather brush when they get dirty. The mink oil definitely darkened them but I don’t mind because I am taking good care of them.

I got this Old Navy cardigan a few weeks ago & it is going to be so versatile for fall & winter! It also comes in a brown color but I prefer this cream (sort of speckled) color. I styled it three ways, wearing all the same accessories (shoes, hat & jewelry) & only changing out my bottom option. In these photos I am just wearing a bra underneath, but as it cools down I will add a cami for warmth.
The bracelets I’m wearing are some of my favorites & they were gifted from Air & Anchor. Love their adjustable bracelets!

All clothing items & similar options will be linked at the bottom of the post.
look 1: with distressed jeans This is the most casual option of the 3. I received these jeans from my Flipfit box last month & loved them & decided to keep them. I will link a couple similar & more affordable options from Target, but if you sign up for Flipfit, you can find these exact jeans. The brand is Black Denim.
look 2: with a flowy midi skirt This look is dressed up but still so comfy! I love this amazon skirt & have worn it now in multiple seasons & tons of different ways. This look would also work with a maxi or a mini skirt.
look 3: with black skinny jeans This look feels more dressed up than the first look with jeans, mostly because the jeans aren’t distressed & are also darker. I prefer my black skinny jeans to be a faded black instead of a true black. I got these ones from Target last year & I don’t think they’re available anymore but I will find some similar options!
