Das boot

I'm fairly amateur when it comes to fashion, so at the beginning of a new season, I do what the women's mags giddily instruct: Find a signature item and build your wardrobe around it. 

Introducing my signature item: Boots by Coclico, first spotted in the window at Diana Kane in Park Slope.  They were marked down from $475 to $356, so I quit therapy therapy to offset the cost. (Not really. I just quit therapy because I decided my crazy is in remission.)

Now the question is can you wear boots in the summer. An informal poll of friends resulted in a mix of winces and "ehs." But I would argue that these boots are made of an ultra-light suede and have a loose, slouchy fit. Plus I don't plan on wearing them with denim cut-offs (think Jessica Simpson in her Daisy Duke phase.) Instead, picture them paired with a flirty, summer dress. 

Das cute, no?
