luxury vs reality | over-the-knee boots

Clearly over-the-knee suede boots aren’t really a necessity for me. Maybe if I lived in a cold weather state I could justify spending more money on the designer version when you factor in cost-per-wear. But as a California girl, I really have no reason to shell out nearly a grand for boots I wouldn’t wear that often.

 

 

Enter the Chinese Laundry Kristin Cavallari Cassie boot, a much more cost-effective option with a nearly identical look. Perfect for the much milder Northern California winters and there’ll be some cash left over to buy an outfit to go with the boots.
