Take It Over The Knee!

Over-the-Knee boots are here to stay and a great addition to your wardrobe! Fall is the perfect time to invest in a good pair. Thigh high boots present less of a challenge for the women with long legs, but don’t be discouraged justabrooklyngyrl is here to help you find the perfect over-the-knee boot to rock this season, no matter the height nor size!

Women with curves or what we like to call the “total woman with a lot more to offer” can absolutely rock these boots! It’s all in how you do it. Choose a pair that hits right above the knee and create a long lean leg line with a dark denim or similar color hue of your boot!

For petite women make sure to not overwhelm your frame with the wrong over-the-knee boot. Opt for a short skirt or shorts that won’t hide your boot but keep enough space between the boot and hemline. Choose the perfect boot that compliments your leg, stay away from shapeless boots. Instead choose a boot with elastic or string that can shape or form to your leg!

Pyer Moss

Known for the famous army fatigue leather worn by celebs such as Rihanna Usher and Beyonce, Pyer Moss designer Kerby Jean-Raymond fights racism and speaks out on police brutality with his Spring 2016 collection. He sat down with family members of victims of police violence and delivered a powerful show like no other. While the models walked the runway video clips played on the screen with the words “open your eyes”.

My fav item from this collection was the military inspired jacket worth the words “breathe” written on the back!

Banana Republic

Dubbed the “New BR,” the spring 2016 collection is right on the money! Every item is relatable for the everyday woman and her day to day looks and will have you wanting every single look! It makes you actually want to wear work clothes. From mixing quirky prints to my fav the red mens inspired suit, Banana Republic collection is more feminine and fun!

Jason Wu

The love of fringe is back thanks to Mr. Wu. Slacked back buns and bright red lips was the trend at the Jason Wu show this week, and ladies you know how we feel about a red lip! The fitted silhouettes and classic pieces gave me an 1950’s,60’s feel. Jason Wu had the best overall look in my opinion from the accessories to the makeup!

Mara Hoffman

The Willie Nelson inspired runway showcased western themed and blue sky prints. Her Bohemian inspired collection was filled with vivid colors, prints and youthful silhouettes for every women size. The collection overall gave this happy feeling no clouds type of feel!
