Bootie Bootie Bootie Rockin Everywhere

Doesn't it feel good to Pay-less?

One thing I have had to adjust to accordingly living here in New York is eliminating shopping as an activity. Shopping for clothes has been replaced by purchases made at glamorous spots such as Bed Bath & Beyond and Fairway Supermarket. After holding out for 3 months I finally broke down. Summer had become a distant memory and people seem to be in full-fledged boot and coat mode. It was time for me to take action. A little bird told me that Payless (yes...payless) had a trendy collection of boots and booties. Let it be known that I think the last time I was in Payless was the early 90s when I made a purchase of faux mary jane doc martens and my feet were a size 2 kids. True story.

I ventured out like the inquisitive Culturista that I am to do some "research."

The findings: A goldmine for the financially challenged. Dozens of boots and all under $40.


$29.99- faux grey suede. Comfortable enough to walk 30 blocks without complaining. Seriously.



$34.99- Nuff said.

Please see Lady D's Lust vs. Must. In all seriousness, I had to visit 4 different branches and ultimately went on the Payless "Crawl" before I found this precious pair.

Stir it up!

I'm not sure when it happened, but there has been a nationwide explosion of stir ups. Leggings are no longer the sole staple. The stir up has officially been brought back! As a true child of the (late) 80s I am a big fan of this trend. They are a great option with booties and any type of open toe heel, especially peep-toes. This particular pair is from American Apparel but they also can be found in legging form at Urban Outfitters. At first I was not sure about sporting the hot pink, but I think this fall and winter we should dress outside the lines. Spice up your cold weather wardrobe consisting of primarily greys and blacks by infusing a bright and spunky stir up into the mix. I know I will.
