NEVER SAY NEVER

I recently purchased something (just to see if they suited me) that I said I would never buy. Like, I’ve publicly mentioned that they weren’t me.

But, hey, I’m human. And sometimes I’m simply wrong.

I bought over the knee boots. I don’t know what triggered the switch, but here I am owning and loving these boots. I actually purchased the brown and the black suede. Even as I tried them on when they arrived, I was skeptical. Standing in front of the mirror though, my mind did a reversal on my past opinion. Yep, that’s right, I love them.

PS The black suede and the black leather versions are 25% off right now at Nordstrom.

They’re amazing for a few reasons, starting with the fact that they’re waterproof. Waterproof!!! SO perfect for the winter. The boots also have a little bit of stretch in the calf and they’re incredibly comfortable. They fit super true to size. I usually size up for boots, but I found that my normal shoe size fit just right.

Unfortunately, this sweater is sold out in most sizes for this color, though the blue and pink are still available. You may also find more in your local store. I think it’s such a fun style for a cozy fall sweater with the chunky knit, oversized leather buttons, and balloon sleeves. Feels feminine without being overly stuffy.

I get questions all the time about what my favorite Barbour is and it’s the sage. I keep the rest of them for blog photos (because while I don’t care about mixing and matching the colors in real life, outfits photograph better with the “right” color ‍♀️), but if I were to choose just one it would be the Beadnell in sage. The green is pretty close to the classic olive but I prefer the color of the plaid in the sage. The Beadnell jacket has a slimmer cut than the more classic Barbours– plus it has the signature plaid on the cuffs and under the collar.
