Italian suede slouchy boots with semi-thrifted outfit

Further to yesterday's post, today I'm showcasing a pair of Italian suede boots I thrifted last year for $14.99, again at Stretch Thrift, my local thrift store.

They're in mint condition, right down to the soles. I wuv them. I can wear them tall or slouch them down with my skinny jeans, as I have here.


Let's go in for a closer look. Aren't they fab? Again if you are thrifting for shoes, minimal wear and good soles, and generally a good make (made in Italy ranks pretty high in my books) are a must.


I'm wearing my Tudor Rose pendant I thrifted at Goodwill this summer, along with a velvet Club Monaco blazer I thrifted for $10. I wasn't sure about the blazer at first as it's kinda 1990s (like the shoes yesterday), all shiny velvet and all, but I do rather like it now.

As with the boots it's multi-functional. Can dress it up for the holidays or prep it out with a pair of jeans.

  1. GREAT finds, boots that nice are hard to come by here in Florida. I guess we don't buy enough of 'em to donate :)

  2. Hi Van, thanks for visiting! Yes I guess it's pretty balmy for part of the year there at least. But I do hear some of the vintage shops in Florida are very good. Have a best pal there so am hoping to check out one day!!
