5 ways to wear platform boots

With fall in full force, it was time to take the plunge on a pair of boots I’ve been eyeing since last fall. The Simon Miller Low Raid Boots have been out sold out, so I knew I had to make my move when I saw they were back this season. As someone who is 5’2 and prefers wearing sneakers around the city, these chunky heeled, platform boots piqued my interest for their versatility (and walkability). In comparison to pointed or square toe boots, the round shape feels a bit more casual and gives enough room to wear a thicker sock. I really like the narrow yet forgiving fit around the ankle because it creates a sleek, clean silhouette when wearing cropped jeans.

Watch how I styled these platform boots for fall — full outfit details and links below the video:

VACAY OUTFIT ROUNDUP

Tyler and I spent a few nights in Cancun to celebrate his birthday. We spent most of our time doing what we do best — loafing around the beach and eating everything in sight. The weather was amazing If you’re interested in where we stayed, I included an overview of the property in my recent travel vlog 🙂

We didn’t capture every outfit, but I put together a few collages in lieu of OOTD pics. See *most* of what I packed below!

SUMMER VACATION OUTFIT:

DAY 4

 

Outfit Details: ASTR the Label Alora Sweater Dress, I wore a pair of Freda Salvador sandals that are no longer in stock – these look like a great flat option!, I don’t own the tote pictured above, but I thought it was a practical and versatile summer bag. 

 

So that’s most of what I wore on our vacation! My favorite look has to be from Day 2.5; I really like the fit and color of the convertible knit tank — can’t wait to style the straps differently next time. The neon platform sandals definitely brought me back to middle school and the “scrunchy” fabric made them superable walkable.

 

If you have ~7 mins to spare (woof!), I’d love if you could check out my Cancun Travel Vlog on YouTube and if you enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up (sorry, had to say it!):
