Red Boots!

I've resisted this trend so far - I am always late to the party, especially if the trend is something a bit bright, a bit out of my usual stay safe comfort zone.  But I spotted these in Next when I was on my 'No Spend February' plus I've seen Avril at A Life to Style wearing a pair she got in the M&S sale and she is one of my inspirations.  So I looked at the options more closely.

These are the Red Mid Point She Boot from Next at £38 so pretty good price.  As red boots are a trend rather than a classic I don't think it is worth spending a huge amount.  I doubt they will be worn daily.  They are not leather but look pretty good and were comfortable despite being a 3.5 and I am a 4, also being a shoe boot they are lighter for going into spring.​  Next had a few other styles so worth browsing but these were my favorites.

These M&S Kitten Heel Pointed Tow Ankle Boots are £35 and look good but I've not tried them on (yet)!  Now reduced to £20 - very few sizes though!

Going up a bit in price are these gorgeous pair from Dune - Osha currently reduced to £85.

My favourites are the Dune ones but I am not sure it is worth spending that much so I may try the Next ones in a 4 and see how I get on.

Have you got a pair of red boots - do you wear them?

Love

Update:  Between writing this post and actually publishing it, M&S started their mid-season sale and I picked up their red boots for £17 via the Sparks offers.  I wore them last night and they are on my Instagram.

Hi Michelle.
Yes I have a suede pair of red ankle boots that I picked up long before Christmas, sadly they weren't £17😩 I wear them more than I thought, being suede only in dry weather. They are so nice, I even had a lady run after me a few weeks ago as she liked them so much, she wanted to know where they were from, they are sold out long ago but they are very similar to the Dune ones you featured. I bought a white pair on Friday, reduced to £30 in Topshop, they had been returned and they just had the one pair in my size, I've been looking for a long time for the right style and fit. I returned the Office pair I had just collected which were exactly the same but £90!! Enjoy your new red boots, I think you'll wear them a lot 💕 Love Nicky xx

Ooh white ones now there's a thought!? I really love the Dune red ones but I didn't want to pay that much, time will tell if I wear them a lot but maybe more than I think then! I certainly won't be wearing them today - snow and ice and very very cold. Michelle x
