Fashion Find of the Week: Fall's Perfect Flat Boot

During my all-too-frequent virtual trips to online boutiques and retailers, I often find pieces so fabulous, they absolutely demand to be shared. So, in addition to passing them along to my beloved clients, I wanted to let you in on the stylish fun, too...

This week, it's all about Fall's perfect flat boot, one made for stomping stylishly through the fallen foliage, one that pairs beautifully with the season's warm, rich colors, and one that will last you literally year after year: the Cole Haan "Oleanna," available on sale (yes, on SALE!) at Piperlime.com.

A flat, knee-high boot is a definite wardrobe staple, not only for Fall but for Winter, too.Wear them now with bare legs to transition Summer's floral dresses and skirts, and add tights in the season's hottest hue, dark red, when a chill hits the air. Wear them over leggings, jeggings or skinny jeans with a little navy blazer for a lookworthy of aNew England co-ed, or with an olive green chunky knit sweater for a play on the military trend. But please, ladies, do not wear them under your boot cut or straight cut jeans. These boots are made for showing off - toe to top!

I always encourage my clients to invest in a quality boot in a classic style like this one - a brand like Cole Haan or Stuart Weitzman is not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. The quality is well worth the price point...I've been wearing my flat Stuart Weitzman boots for four years, and they still look great. When you consider cost per wear, it's a wise investment, indeed.

So go on, don Fall's perfect flat boot, go forth and frolic!
