No time to write today, I’m rushing out the door for yet another basketball tournament!
I can’t decide which shoes to wear… I like the all black look on the left- they make my legs look longer, but then again the brown boots on the right are a fun alternative!
What do you think?


Sweater: Banana Republic, Pants: Gap, Booties: DSW, Boots: Target, Necklace: Lia Sophia
I prefer the brown boots.
Another Shannon for the brown ones. Maybe its the height of them but the black ones make your leggings look more like tights, than pants. . . .
Great point! I certainly do not want to look like I forgot my pants! Thank you!
I like the brown too!
I have always admired your brown boots with black/dark pants initiative! I wore that as part of an outfit the other day when I would have normally donned black boots. I say go brown!
I vote brown! They both look good, but I’m just partial to brown boots. Love your sweater.

I’m down with the brown!
I vote for the brown. They balance your top half.
The black reminds me of Robin Hood 😉
Hi there! I’m another Eastside mommy, just wanted to let you know your blog has been inspiring me to try harder with my wardrobe! I was going to vote for the black boots, as I felt they looked more sleek, but after reading the other comments, I do see their point. Either way is cute.
Yeah! Another Eastsider! Thanks for your sweet words! I appreciate it!
Which Target boots are they? Need to get a brown pair and I like those a lot! Been looking forever for a pair. Thanks! (Oh, and I vote for the brown, too!)
I bought them last year, so I am not sure Target still has them. Sorry!
love the brown/black combo! it looks great.
Brown. I think ankle booties make legs look stumpy (not yours but mine.) If it was a tossup between brown and black knee-high boots that would be a really tough call; I’d say either would look appropriate with this top!
Thanks for your comment!
Love it with the brown boots. I only own one pair of boots, and I debated last year between getting black or brown. I’m glad I went with the brown, I actually really like the combo of wearing them with black…something I didn’t think you could do at first but it looks stylish.
