Ways to Style Women’s Boots
You never forget your first pair of boots. Here, we asked four of our most stylish friends to pick a pair that best meshed with their look.
If you had to give your personal style a name, what would it be?
I love the flamboyance and all the statement pieces she has worn over the past few decades. I’d like to think I’m en route to achieving Ross excellence while keeping my 2017 funky.
Tell us about the first boots you remember owning.
Back when the year 2000 became a thing, I begged my mother to allow me the freedom of a first job, at the Staten Island Mall. I wanted nothing more than to earn money for my own “fashions.” My first paycheck went to savings — every penny except the cost of the most beautiful construction boots. Everyone around me had construction boots, they were (and still are) a staple in the fabric of what it looked like to be a New Yorker. These boots were my coming of age, both financially and visually. It would be hard to forget the first time I felt like Aaliyah making a cameo in a Missy Elliot video.
They make me feel like I’ve found the staple of what it means to be Saucy Ross: living and dancing from state to state in any one of my weather-ready statement pieces.
My mom got them for me because I used to show pigs and we’d have to wear these really cute outfits in the arena during showmanship. I’d get all dressed up with my checkered shirt, Wrangler jeans, and Justin boots. I had three pairs, actually: red, navy, and black.
