We’re loving boots this Fall (and, for that matter, all year long), and we’re falling head over heels over these ankle boots. They’re just tall enough to be sexy, while not tall enough to be uncomfortable. Plus, the buckle and strap at the ankle give them a bit of an extra kick.
$49 (sale) at Spiegel.

In honor of today’s election, we’re sharing tips on how to wear Red, White, and Blue without looking like you’re draped in an American flag. Here’s how to do it:
(1) Pick a dominant color. Here, we chose blue to be the dominant shade, but we could have built the outfit around white or red instead. The very navy blue sweater complements the blue sailor jeans.
(2) Add the other two colors as accents. Here, we counterbalanced the blue with a white tuxedo jacket and coordinating red accessories: flats and a ladylike structured handbag.
(3) Extra style points for cool detailing on your reds, whites, and blues. We were struck by the toggle closure on the ever-so-navy sweater, and we like the visual texture of the tuxedo pleats on the white button-down. Even the jeans are special, with its sailor button detailing.
Now that you’re dressed and ready for Election Day, find your nearest polling place, and go out and vote!

We asked: Would you wear Over the Knee Boots?
You said: No to Over the Knee Boots, which got only 31% of the vote.
Style tip? You’re right that Over the Knee Boots are a fashion challenge (and really not for everyone)–but they’re oh-so-sexy when done right. How to wear them? With a minidress, so that a bit of leg shows between the skirt hem and the top of your boot, and an extra shot of confidence.
Next question: We recently wrote about How to Wear a Bubble Dress, but it seems that you’re still on the fence about this style. Tell us, would you wear a Bubble Dress? Cast your vote on the sidebar!
