Hello boots, meet the perfect amount of skirt. Plenty of space to show off the boots in all their braided, vintage glory and just enough skirt to keep it interesting.
what’s your perfect boot to hem ratio?

Love the boot + skirt combo!
Thanks Megan, I’ve been seeing longer skirts and taller boot pairings a lot and I love the layered look it lends.
So pretty. I love the long skirt with the high boots.

You’re too sweet Meredith! I’m going to keep playing with the tall boot, long skirt combos.
Love those boots! They are perfect with the skirt Cait!
Thanks Robin, I love that I can wear both my grandmother’s and my mom’s pieces together.
Great boots!!!

Thanks Amy, these Frye’s used to belong to my mom so they’re a favorite
My favorite ratio leaves some calf between the hem and the boot. Here, for instance: https://colormebrazen.wordpress.com/2013/01/15/my-shadow-looks-like-minnie-mouse/ To each her own, though!
Hi dear, Thank you for stopping by today…you have such a lovely style, the skirt and boots are wonderful!
Sam, thank you for finding Wore Out!
I think my favorite looks of yours are when you wear family pieces. I’m an old soul and sentimental sap though! Love this look!…….Are there fashions lying around from Florence? I only met her once and it was after she was already very sick. Would LOVE to have known more about her and her style!
so pretty! xO!

I always love it when people take photos by harbors, harbors just have the best vibe to them. I really like the length of the skirt with these boots, it has a slightly retro, boho feel to it and the pattern on the dress just furthers that. (The boots are gorgeous as well, i love the rich leather look.)
Nice work, but I’m a big fan of the skinnies and tall boots. No better way to show off the detailing of a really cool pair of vintage boots.
I agree with you on that Kelly, nothing shows off tall boots like skinnies or leggings.
