KATE SPADE NEW YORK BLACK SUEDE BOOTIES

I don’t know how I’ve gone 27 years without a pair of black suede ankle boots but of course leave it to kate spade new york to design the perfect pair. (You may remember my obsession with their shoes from this post, this one, this one…) I love how these Dillon boots are cut low in the front but my absolute favorite part is the gold detail on the heel.

Since I’ve been breaking the “no white after Labor Day” rule left and right, I figured I might as well commit another supposed faux pas in this outfit by mixing navy and black. It’s actually my favorite way to wear black (which can otherwise look a little harsh with my coloring) so it was fun to pair a couple tried-and-true staples (navy blazer, skinny jeans) with a few more recent acquisitions (slouchy navy bag, chic black booties). What do you think — were rules made to be broken?
