Can't Be COIX About Fab Boots

Popping in here on a Friday to just share some Fall outfit inspiration! It all started with me winning a pair of COIX shoes. All I can say is enter every contest you’re interested in! We both do it relentlessly and tag each other on Instagram and Facebook or wherever it’s available and it pays off.

I had heard about COIX shoes through a couple of other tall and larger shoe size bloggers we love to follow. We were intrigued to hear about a shoe company that was started by another tall duo out of the United Kingdom. Their plan was to cover larger shoe sizes only, which is super exciting for us to hear. We wear size 11 (Caitlin) and 13 (Jenilee) respectively, so you know our choices are limited.

So anyway, I won any pair of shoes and immediately knew I had to get my hands on these gorgeous cognac boots. They have a 4-inch heel, which I’m hesitant to buy myself normally. I tend to gravitate towards lower-heeled boots that I can wear comfortably for extended periods of time. Plus with our heavy Wisconsin winters, we need sturdy boots for slippery conditions.

But every year I lust after all of the higher heeled options. So when this opportunity showed up, I didn’t pause, I just went for it! I shared them on Instagram stories when I first received them, but they are gorgeous in person and high quality. They came with a cloth bag for storage in the off months, which I really appreciate. I’ve only worn them a couple of times so far for short periods, so I can’t speak to the longevity wear. An updated review/report back later will be more appropriate as we head into the boot season!

As for the rest of the outfit, I have been loving headbands as you can tell from earlier this year. But when I saw all of the pearl options, my extra-girly loving side was singing “mine mine mine.” So I caught a sale and grabbed this headband. Having a large head, I will note that it doesn’t quite go low enough below my ears but I can bobby pin it better in place as well. The sweater has puff sleeves and is tall, so basically I’m set. You can catch me in all the sleeve detailed sweaters for life. It’s those girly details that just make me feel the most me!
