Combat boots and Thursday Moda with Ada
A style I did not think I would be attracted to are combat boots but turns out I love them! These boots are versatile and fun and I am looking forward to wearing them all fall and winter. Today I am joining Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood for Thursday Moda in styling our combat boots. Do you own a pair?
I love that we have very different outfits this time! Both colorful but different!
Combat Boots
I like the edge that the combat boots give to an outfit but by choosing the taupe suede pair, they still are fairly feminine.I paired them with leggings and a tunic for this outfit but they look just as cute with a skirt or a dress as you can see below.
I am a little disappointed that I didn’t make it till the new year without spending money on clothes but a 50 day run isn’t too bad. I also made sure to only buy things on sale after that 50 day period. There is no reason to pay full price for something right now as sales seem to cycle every couple of weeks.
Pairing old with new: I still love my zella high waisted leggings as much as when I bought them 2 to 3 years ago and haven’t found any to rival them. Not inexpensive but I have worn them so much they have been worth every penny. This tunic is really cute in the back with a criss cross detail. I love when I still wear something and can’t remember when I bought it: a definite good buy!
Notice I am not wearing a pair of Nickel and Suede earrings? I try to branch out every once in a while, lol! These were a birthday gift from a friend a while back.
I wanted to show you the pretty texture of the boots close up. I actually ordered these on my phone vs my computer so I was a little surprised when I opened the box: it was hard to see details on a small screen.
I was also happily surprised with the zipper which makes putting these on and off really easy.
I really love the boots with a dress! This was a fun Sunday church outfit!
And now for Ada’s outfit! I love the bright cheery color of this dress and it pairs very well with the edginess of the combat boots.
And here is a close up of the shoes. These boots are a really nice pair of combat boots! I love their shine! Here is the link to her post!

Well look at you looking cozy, trendy and put-t0gether times two! You surprised me with that second outfit on your post, I possibly like it more than the first though I love the first look too and yes those Zella leggings seem to be worth every penny! You look adorable in a hat, Mirei!!
Loved doing this collab with you though I am not entirely sure about my look lol. But looking forward to all the fun posts and collaborations we got coming up for the holidays. =)

It’s going to be fun! And thank you! I did like the boots with that dress my friend gave me but only had the one picture lol!

These are cute but because of auto immune disease, I have not been able to wear shoes with back , let alone boots, in some years because of ankle swelling…..
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Hugs,

You know I love all combat boots, Mireille! These are really cute. The taupe color is so fun. I bought a similar pair last year that I love. Both outfits are so great, too. And I am really loving your hat! Doesn’t a fun hat just add so much goodness to an outfit?

The hat has been a lot of fun! Especially as I am now counting the days till my haircut!

I definitely feel that combat boots are more fun than i thought they were before! I think I might want a glam/girly pair!
mimifce
Exactly! I think there is more variety out there as well as more ways to wear them now.

What a fun theme! I love both of your outfits and Adaβs. The zipper is a great addition to your boots.
I have two pair of combat like boots – one older and one I just got. But Iβve never worn the older one on the blog. I need to fix that. And I just splurged on two pair of Doc Martens (my husband is such an enabler). One of the two pair was almost half off though. Iβm thinking they will last the rest of my life.

I don’t think I’ve worn combat boots since high school or college; though I really like the color and style of the ones you found. They look equally cute with your leggings and your dress.
mimifce
Thank you! A little edgy but still soft with the material and style.
Claudia
I love the color you chose. They also look very comfortable. The picture with the dress after Sunday Church looks lovely! Wish you a great weekend.
xoxo, Claudia

Thank you! I should have used the dress as a blog post but only took that one picture on a whim!

Yes they are. So far I have worn these with no socks since I hasn’t gotten cold here.
Grace
Love these outfits! You’re right, the taupe color of the booties keep them more feminine. I don’t own any combat boots but I do think they’re super cute! And yes, 50 days without spending is a great run. π

Thanks, Grace! I am actually doing pretty good with not spending much this month! Just the thrifting I did with my mom and the stuff for a blog post for Ada and I.

These combat boots are so cute on you! I love the neutral color too. They will go with everything!

Thanks, Shauna! I have worn them more already than I thought I would.

Those boots look so cute on you! I love them with the dress π I think you did well not spending anything on fashion for 50 days too! it can be hard, I tried the no buy July for a couple of years before I did my 6 months without shopping π
Hope that you are having a great weekend π It’s a hot one here!
mimifce
It is going to be cooler this weekend and planning to take it easy. Let everyone relax!
Di
Those combat boots are really cute! I like the taupe color and lace-up detail, it gives them a feminine, sort of prairie look. I don’t have any combat boots, but they seem really versatile, I might give them a try! Cut styling on both outfits!
mimifce
That is a great way to describe them: a prairie look! Especially when paired with dresses!

I think combat boots are so fun to style dressy and casual They have such a fun versatility to them π http://www.bauchlefashion.com/2020/11/fashion-forecast-bold-pink-hues-for-fall.html

Yes, a lot more than I expected! I wore them again with a dress for church yesterday.
