How to Wear Rain / Combat Boots in a Snowstorm

If you live in the Northeast we are currently experiencing the first major snowstorm of the year. Snow can be so beautiful when it falls down but living in NYC it can get ugly real quick. It is safe to say I will be hibernating for the next 24 hours. However if I had to leave my house, these are the looks I would love to wear.

The Day before Thanksgiving

When I woke up this morning, I had a completely different outfit in mind. I wanted to take a break from my usual skinny jeans or leggings by wearing a cool pair of light blue flare jeans that I rarely wear. However mother nature had a different plan for me, today in NYC we are expecting rain turning into snow before one of the best holidays  of the year, Thanksgiving.

Here is a recreation of what I wore today but my actual outfit is below..

Capes and Hats by the-real-darling-nikki featuring River Island

So I had to be more practical with my outfit choice. I choose a sheer leopard print that I brought from Old Navy a few years ago that I own in two  other colors and another leopard print. I paired the leopard print top with my double breasted cape because I love a good cape and I topped it off with my favorite floppy hat. I decided to wear my hair in a low bun to avoid any hair blunders. I accessorized with thin silver hoops to compliment my hairstyle. So I kept the items I originally planned but I swapped out the jeans for high waisted leggings (sad face) however it was the perfect pairing to wear with my leather ankle boots. I did not want to ruin my flared jeans on such a wet and messy day. I hope you staying dry and warm!!!.
