Every September, I crave a great pair of statement boots. As the craving reached its peak this month, I was inspired to look downtown. I scoped out some of the best boot options in shops last week, and on Saturday morning my friend Aimee and I spent several hours planning outfits and finding fun places to shoot photos. Aimee graciously agreed to dress the part and model in the photos. (She was visiting from St. Louis for the weekend, and barely had a clue of what was in store for her.)
Our first stop of the morning was a historic building at the intersection of Frederick and Independence. There, Aimee modeled a darling pair of tan boots from Annie Laurie’s Antiques. A couple snapshots in and we were both thoroughly enjoying the experience. Fast forward to the end of the day, and we agreed that mixing a Saturday morning with a friend, gorgeous fall boots and a creative mission was a full-proof cocktail for happiness!
Enjoy the photos below, and don’t forget that each pair of these boots is available downtown! Shops and sizes are included in the captions. Thanks to all of the participating stores:
