Ageless Style: Styling Booties for the Holiday Season



The holiday season is officially upon us and what better way then to kick it off with a holiday style outfit idea!  This months  Ageless Style prompt was booties and I couldn't wait to share these white ones with you all!   Recently Mr. and I finally went out on a date night and I was excited to finally pull out my pair of white booties.  Last winter/spring I searched all over the place for a pair of white booties but had no luck locally, so this year when I stumbled upon these online on major sale I snagged them up quickly.  I love booties and have several pairs including black, navy, snakeskin, burgundy,  and now white.  More than any other style, the bootie is my favorite ranging from low ankle to more mid-calf like these ones.  I love them paired with skinny jeans, leggings and a oversized sweater/sweater dress, or with a maxi or midi-skirt like I am styling here.  I adore how this outfit came together and I was able to shop my closet for everything other than the new booties!  This metallic print skirt has been one of the best pieces I've purchased because it elevates any outfit and it's perfect for the holiday season.   I've styled it multiple times in various seasons including summer, fall, and winter, see HERE and HERE.  Since we don't go out a lot, I went all out by adding all my sparkly jewelry from Hillberg and Berg including these rose gold earrings and stackable bracelets.  









What did we do for date night?  We went on a double date with good friends to the Imagine Van Gogh exhibit in town.  At first I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend the $ on this event but I am so glad we did.  It was an incredible experience and I truly would recommend it.  It's an immersive experience as you place yourself in the middle of a large space and watch Van Gogh's art come to life as projections on oversized screens.  We ended up watching the show twice from different parts of the space to have the chance to take it all in.  Before entering the art exhibit you have a chance to read and learn about Van Gogh's life and the ups and downs that he went through in his short 37 years of it.  A very talented man haunted by  schizophrenia, and in the end he ended up taking his own life with a revolver.  His work depicted how he saw himself, the people around him, and  the various places he visited and lived in his life.  He found so much beauty in his observations and feelings of day to day life.  As this is a traveling exhibit it's likely going to be near you if you live in Canada or United States and I would highly recommend going.  




Now make sure you hop over to see everyone else styling their booties in different ways across the country with the ladies of Ageless Style!

  2. We have that exhibit here - my sister's been but I've balked at the prices for a family ticket and not taken the kids, maybe another time! It's good you enjoyed your date night :)

    This is a great outfit too - I like the texture mix with the knit and the skirt and you wear the white boots well :)

    Hope that your week is going well :) It's another rainy spring day here!

    1. We talked about taking the kids as well but decided it really wasn't a thig they would enjoy that much, so we choose to spend the $ on ourselves and do something that they would be more excited for with them, like skiing or going to the tube park.

  3. You look lovely! I have been wanting to see that exhibit... but dread a long drive into a nearby city to see it.

  4. This is so pretty: and your indoor pictures come out so nice: I still haven't found a good spot in my house. I have heard different people rave about the Van Gogh exhibit: sounds like a great date night choice.

    1. Thank you so much! The big change indoor has been we invested in getting pot lights upstairs. Our space was soooo dark before and I enjoy reading in the living room and found it to be difficult, especially during the winter months. Another great option is to have a external flash for a LSR camera. :)

  5. You look so young and stunning in this outfit! I can see why you needed white booties! The Van Gogh exhibit is here, but we haven’t made it yet. I’m hopeful after next week we can go.

    1. Some things are worth the wait, like the right pair of booties. :) I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Like I mentioned, the only thing I wish that was different was that I thought you would walk through it instead of just being in one room.

  6. Gosh, I love how both you and Amy wore white boots!! They have such a modern vibe!!
    We have vacillated about that exhibit, but still haven't pulled the trigger. You really think it's that good??

    1. I know! How fun. Okay, I really enjoyed it. I am not someone that knows a lot about art but since being in Paris, many years ago now, I've learned to appreciate it so much more. I really did enjoy the evening but the two things I think would have made it better are a) rather than having a big space to watch the show, I would have much rather walked through the different phases of his art work/time and been immersed and b) for some people having the audio version rather than reading all the information ahead of time I think would have been helpful. If you wear glasses, bring them. Otherwise, it was a beautiful experience. I would suggest watching it through 2x from different parts of the space as you really do get very different experiences.

    1. Thanks so much! I agree, they are a fun addition to my footwear selection. The exhibit is worth it, even if you aren't a huge art buff. I really enjoyed learning and I don't know much about art but found a great appreciation for his works and his struggle in life.

  12. Wow! I love everything about your look!! Honestly, I can't pick a piece that I adore more. Your date night sounds so fun. I don't know what I would've expected from the evening either, but from what you described I think it sounds like so much fun.

    1. It was so much better than I expected, probably because I didn't really know what to expect. I wanted white booties forever as well, so just wait something will just appear if it's meant to be!

  14. Oh my gosh, you look like an angel in this outfit. Absolutely adorable. I have a pair of white booties but my gosh, I like yours so much better. Everything is just perfection in this look...the little peek of shoulder, your gorgeous metallic pleated skirt, the accessories...even the glass of wine!!

  15. Hi! The outfit was perfect, super chic and comfortable. It's an outfit I would wear, no doubt. :)

  16. Hi! I must admit that I'm in love with your white boots, I need to buy a similar pair. Can you believe that I have a black pair, a red one... but not a white pair? I think this color is perfect for winter and also very easy to combine.
    VI'm glad you enjoyed Van Gogh's exposition, here in Madrid we have a similar one

    By the way, I've just discovered your blog and it`s so cool, I will check your future blog posts :)
