I don’t work with Stuart Weitzman (I went to an event of theirs once and went home with a gorgeous pair of shoes and a discount card that enabled me to purchase additional pairs of shoes without passing out, but that’s the extent of it).
I start with this caveat because this is now the second time I have needed to comment on their advertising campaign, because it is just so good. The first time I rhapsodized about just how very much I had fallen prey to whatever the people in their marketing department are up to was when they hired Kate Moss to wander around on the streets of London in over-the-knee boots looking hotter than a person should ever look…and this time it’s because they’ve been posting shots over on their Instagram (which I follow, and shouldn’t, because following their Instagram gets expensive for me) with the simple caption:
And every single time I see one of those shots paired with that hashtag, I think: YES. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO WEAR.
So I did.
Hello, Spring!
P.S. Because these boots are crazy and it’s worth re-mentioning: I totally did not think I’d ever wear thigh-high boots. Like, ever in my life. Because my life does not involve going to places where one might conceivably wear boots like these. But what I’ve discovered is that you have to basically wear them like you would a t-shirt: wherever, paired with whatever, just because. It’s so much fun.
On me: Stuart Weitzman Highland boots; Joie sweater via T.J.Maxx (similar); DIY-ed cutoffs; Deux Lux Karma Clutch ℅; no name sunglasses; Melinda Maria necklace ℅; Urban Outfitters Panama hat.
