It was almost still too warm on Friday for this outfit but I was itching to wear my new Frye harness boots, so pulled out the leggings for their seasonal debut. (Over the weekend, I picked up some fishnet and other lightweight patterned tights, a bit less heavy.)
But I wasn't sorry. I LOOOOOOOOOVE these boots! They were comfortable right out of the box, and add just enough edge. There are two different black finishes available; I chose the one that had a bit more shine.

The boots are amazing...I would wear them now as well (when it is almost too warm) and I like the colors you popped the outfit with.
ReplyDeletePam, thanks! That scarf is one of those pieces that doesn't match anything exactly in my closet but goes with everything almost perfectly. I have a short window of boot weather this week before it starts warming up again...
DeleteHad to follow those boots! mmmhmmm. The rest of your ensemble is very cool too and follows the boots to perfection.
ReplyDeletepao, thank you!
DeleteThose are great boots! (But I don't believe you're a short woman! You just don't look short, Pseu!)
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly boot season, and last week I wore one of my fave finds - classic booties with a low 2" heel (that's low for me) - super comfy, with pants, Nine West if I remember, picked up on sale a few years ago...
I'm salivating at the thought of a run through DSW to see this season's boots, but, I'm refraining for the moment. I have been known to succumb to temptation, and there is no Temptation line item in the budget at the moment!
You really pull off this look head to toe!
BigLittleWolf, boot season will be intermittent here for the next few weeks, but I'll wear them at every opportunity! And yes, I'm 5'1". When I stand up very, very straight.
DeleteLoving the boots! your outfit looks great ... and I love the pop of colour added via your gorgeous scarf. Looks like you made a little fury-friend... xo
ReplyDeleteHigh Heeled Life, thanks! I don't know what I'd do without my scarves. Lars is a Very Friendly Cat. I love him.
DeleteSusan, the boots are fantastic on you! Glad to hear they are equally lovely to wear.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am in love with Lars, the roly-poly stripey-tailed dream cat! Hi kitty! Hi!
Amber, thanks so much. Lars is really quite a celebrity on our block. He has no fear of anyone and will roll over on his back for a belly rub even when approached by dogs on leashes. He has the most gorgeous blue eyes.
DeleteATTITUDE! Those boots express you and you give them a chance to go out with style! And imagine, they'll only get better as they age, just like you!
ReplyDeletematerfamilias, thanks!! I really love how I feel wearing them.
DeleteFantastic boots!! I would wear these every single day under 80 degrees, Une Femme : > Lars is a very handsome, substantial cat, isn't he? Thanks for sharing your gorgeous new finds with Visible Monday.
ReplyDeletePatti, thank you. And thanks for hosting Visible Monday!
DeleteI love my Eileen Fisher pieces also. I need to become more intentional and get with the system though. I haven't tried a skirt yet--that is next.
ReplyDeleteLove the boots on you!
Susan, the skirt is a great piece, but try the ponte knit as opposed to the foldover. Mine's the foldover and it's very short.
DeleteThe boots are great and look so wonderful on you, yes, the right amount of edge. It was so hot again yesterday, when did you wear them? This is the time of year in LA, that I just give up, don't know what to wear!
ReplyDeleteKathy Leeds, thanks! I actually wore them on Friday. The weather is so goofy right now...very cool in the mornings but then warms up during the day. We have some rain in the forecast!
DeleteAh, you and I were channeling a similar vibe today. Love your boots. I had some halter boots back in the 70's that I have always regretted getting rid of. They were so comfortable. I've tried on Frye boots, but for some reason they aren't comfortable for me.
ReplyDeleteThe way you paired the boots with the Eileen Fisher pieces is so cool. Unexpected and totally cool! I think I may try to create an outfit similar to yours, that is how much I love it.
Debbi, thanks so much!! Not all Frye boots fit me the same; some are too narrow for me. I was so happy that these worked. I look forward to seeing your version!
DeleteThose boots look great on you...
ReplyDeletemy daughter has a shorter version and she loves hers.
I think you'll get a lot of wear out of these fabulous boots!
The weather is warm and sunny here too.
hostess, thank you! I thought about the shorter version, but don't have any boots with this shaft height. Hope you're enjoying the sunshine, and Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteGreat boots! I was having a little trouble sleeping last night & so was outfit-planning in my head. I recently bought the Banana Republic black&white houndstooth pencil skirt (LOVE it), and was mentally styling it. I am retired so don't need work outfits. I pictured the skirt with any of my various cashmere sweaters in different colors, also with a slim black cardigan. But what footwear? Black ballet flats with tights? Bare legs with black suede slingbacks or pumps? Or high heeled black boots, which unfortunately I don't own? I'm thinking boots, if I can find a classic style (no platforms). Although I live in Houston, and it's usually too hot for boots here.........also usually too hot for cashmere sweaters & wool skirts! Rats!
ReplyDelete---Jill Ann
I lived in Houston for 18 years. I feel your pain ;)
DeleteKathleen
Thanks Kathleen! There are many great things about Houston, but the six months of 95+ degrees every day is not one of them. I dream of living in a temperate climate again someday!
Delete---Jill Ann
Jill Ann, what about ankle boots? thanks!
DeleteThat's a great pair of boots - you're going to wear them forever!
ReplyDeleteThat's Not My Age, thank you! That's what I'm hoping...
DeleteThose boots look fantastic on you! And your scarf is lovely - what cute colors! :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, thank you!
DeleteLOVE THOSE BOOTS. I'm a big fan of Frye quality and style. You picked great ones that will give you decades of good wear. And lovin' your nod to plaidurday! xo. -Bella Q
ReplyDeleteBellaQ, thanks so much! I think these are true classics. I've decided I need more plaid in my life!
DeleteGreat boots! I love the harness detail and what's more they look comfortable too.
ReplyDeleteVeshoevius, thank you! These are SO comfortable.
DeleteOoh, look at that plump kitteh! All curious about your photo shoot!
ReplyDeleteWendyB - oh yes, he's always wanting in on the action.
DeleteYou made a wise investment there, my dear, as you look completely bien dans votre peau. Those Harness boots will get better with wear, and you'll keep us oohing and ahhing over your Perfectly Pseu outfits! That kitty just wants to bask in your glow...
ReplyDeleteGretchen, thanks so much! He's a sweet kitty and I always enjoy his visits.
DeleteThose were definitely the right choice!!!!
ReplyDeleteDiane, thanks!! I agree. :-)
DeleteLove those boots. Just the right amount of edginess!
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, thank you! They just feel so right.
DeleteI'm a BIG fan of Frye boots! You picked a great one! Looking HOT!!
ReplyDeletegracefully50, thank you!! I'm very pleased with these.
DeleteSo happy to see a style blogger wearing all black with a pop of gorgeous color! And oh, those boots are absolutely perfect in every way.
ReplyDeleteLynne, thanks so much! Black gets a bad rap with stylists, but sometimes it's just what the Dr. ordered. :-)
DeleteThose boots are perfect on you. So Pseu! It seems to me that you just get better all the time.
ReplyDeletehello i Listiani. I really like your blog. may I be friends with you
ReplyDeleteAgree with LPC, they are perfect on you; tow cool kitties!
ReplyDeleteI love your Frye boots! They would definitely be a pick-up for any outfit. A pair of black Dayton boots called out to me at a thrift store the other day, and, darn, they were a quarter-size too small, even if I cut my toenails! I can only imagine how delicious those Frye's feel on your feet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and versatile boot! We have begun to get glimpses of fall here!
