Over-the-Knee Boots: Fall's Biggest Shoe Trend
The Wildflower Shop

Fall has approached and a new trend is starting to show out.

Over the knee boots are this year's ticket to fall style.

Worn by celebrities such as Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Rihanna , these new boots can be found in stores and online. Suede or leather - whichever you'd like! The over the knee boots were a huge hit in the 1960s and are making their way back into modern fashion. Thigh-high boots in the 60s were much higher than the ones we see today. They would reach all the way up the lady's thigh and were basically worn as pants. Below is Penny Davis in 1967 practically wearing boot-pants:

They made their biggest break in the Fall 1963 Collection by Roger Vivier. This is the Crocodile Thigh Boot designed by Roger Vivier for Yves Saint Laurent in 1963:


Thigh-high boots slowly began to show up again in fashion shows from 2009 to 2015. In previous years they were not as prominent in stores as they are today. For fall 2015, the biggest trend was wearing booties, sneakers, or wedges with a pair of thigh-high socks. But there is no need to worry about that now when you have the thigh-high boot. With many brands and colors to choose from, it will be easy to stay on top of this trend. Below you will see Emma Roberts wearing last year's style of thigh-high socks with a pair of cheetah wedges to make her outfit stand out:

Thigh-high boots can go with several outfit styles. They go perfect with a minidress when the weather is a bit warmer. They add a pop to your outfit and making you stand out! They are even better when worn with leggings and a comfy sweater. They keep you warm and stylish through the winter breeze. The boots have also become popular to wear for work. Wearing them with a pencil skirt and button down keeps the outfit classy, yet trendy. Another possible way to wear them is with an oversized hoodie. This style has been worn by Karrueche Tran and Kourtney Kardashian. This comfortable style makes your legs look longer than ever. So for whatever occasion you are dressing for, these boots will match and add style to just about anything! Below is Kourtney Kardashian strutting in her Stuart Weitzman black lace up thigh high boots for the 2016 season:

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
