around the corner..: 2014

I love looking in style blogs or just spotting beautiful items in some random ad or on a person walking down the street, and I always want to know where they got those things! I'm not saying that what I have is beautiful, but I always get some inspiration from looking at them and hopefully they'll give others ideas on where to find things for a reasonable price. All of my boots came from either amiclubwear, Rue21, TJ Maxx, Kohl's, Plato's Closet, or Target. The most expensive pair was probably around $30 or so and least expensive was $7. Let's start off with the tall boots first. I keep all of them on one of my bookshelves and keep a magazine rolled up inside of the shaft of the boot to help keep them formed and supported.

These are all from Plato's Closet. I'm not for sure the brands, but all of them ran around $15. I got them back in July, but they should be stocked this time of year and they're all in fantastic condition.

All of these are from www.amiclubwear.com. The name sounds bad, but they really do have some cute stuff and they always have a sale going on. I've collected these throughout the years, but I've noticed that some of these styles are still in like the exposed zipper (1st pair), quilted back on boots (3rd pair), lace up, hidden wedge (dark brown suede pair on bottom in middle), and thigh high suede boots (last picture with light tan and black boots on shelf).

This pair is actually a hand-me-down from one of my sisters. She got them from Target I believe, and I've had them for about 5 years. They're made out of leather, so the wear and age on them makes them look even better in my opinion. I still use them when I go horseback riding or up to the barn, they're very sturdy and last through just about anything.

This last pair is by Rock and Republic from Kohl's. Not only do I love how I can roll down the top to make it knee high from being thigh high, has heels, and black suede, but I got them for like 95% off. They were priced at about $145 and I got them in the sale section for a mere $17. I was beyond excited. I'm pretty short (5' 3"), so I don't usually wear thigh high boots because it makes my legs look even stumpier than ever, but I think they can be really cute with just distressed skinny blue jeans, a white sweater, and black suede jacket. I know they don't look it, but you can style them to really be quite casual.
With that said, on to the short boots..

Now these are the shoes that I wear most often. I love my ankle boots and wear them all year round. I've got them from TJ Maxx, Rue 21, Kohl's, and Plato's Closet.

These are my all time favorite shoes. I wear them at least once a week. I love the cutouts on them and the black and gold color scheme... and they have heels! The first pair is Report that I got at TJ Maxx for $39.99 in the summer. The other pair is by Rock and Republic from Kohl's that I got again on sale for only $15! I was never a Kohl's person, but I feel like I need to go back after I found these shoes and check out their sale section again...

These are both from Rue21 about 2 years ago. I'm obsessed with studs, so I had to have these when I saw them. Rue21 is the best place for cheap shoes, so these came out to be like $8 a piece I think.

These are both from TJ Maxx. The blue suede pair is Steve Madden and the brown pair with the tassel lace ups is by Unionbay. About twice a year TJ Maxx has a clear-out sale basically where all the summer stuff has to go so it gets marked down to ridiculously low prices, and vice-versa with the winter inventory. I got these babies for like $7 a piece.
