In My Closet- Always Worn + Never Worn = New Boho Look

I have again stumbled across a top in my closet that I've never worn.

I'm not sure why this I always bypass this one when digging through my closet because it's actually a very cool shirt. (Unfortunately the tag is ripped out and I'm not sure who the vendor is.) The sleeves are a lacey crocheted fabric while the body is a stretchier knit with corseted detail. It's a great dusty pink with a print that's not quite a floral and looks great with browns and neutrals as well as black. Maybe it's because of the big sleeves...I usually tend to be a bit more tailored and they make the top a bit more boho.

I combined it with one of my favorite skirts-it's from Sears of all places! I was buying a refrigerator with my boyfriend and while he paid for the fridge I dug through their clothing racks for fun and found this for $6.99. It was two sizes to big but after taking in the waist and hemming it up about three inches I had a fun, floaty, flirty skirt that I can wear with almost any of my shoes, and I adore it with my over the knee boots! It ups the boho vibe even more.

I decided that a giant bag was probably enough accessory for me and the neutral brown- gray shade is perfect.

So what do you think? Is this top a keeper? Should I stick to my rules and try to make two more looks with it?

Finally In My Closet - OTK Boots

My boots from Bebe showed up right after I left for Florida but I haven't yet had a chance to post them. This is the second time I've worn them but already I can't get enough of tall boots!

These also roll down to just at the knee but I totally forgot to do it for these pictures...another post...

The lace up the back is different and I like the look of the contrasting pant showing through.

But now the more I look at them the more they sort of have a pirate look to them...

Hmmm..."Pretty Woman" or "Pirates Of The Carribean?" Anyway, I like them and I'm going to keep them but I wanted tall boots to wear in winter with dresses for the purpose of keeping my legs warmer and the laces also sort of defeat that purpose, though suppose I could wear them with tights...I think I still want a style closer to the Topshop pair that I had originally ordered...Do I dare?

Soon to Be In My Closet - Top Shop Over The Knee Boots

(Photo from Topshop.com.)
After much debate and hunting, I purchased the Britany2 Over The Knee Boot from Topshop over the internet last night and now have 5-7 business days to wait for them. As per my last post, Pearl from Fashion Pearls of Wisdom really had me thinking about them and after a little more research I found this pair that I think will work really well with my wardrobe. I'm looking forward to wearing them specifically with dresses this winter. I hope they keep me warm!
