Jean Shorts + OTK boots, a classic winter combo?

Whenever Catherine and I are getting ready together – for an event, for a shoot or just for the day – her go-to when she is having outfit struggles, is her favorite jean shorts. (Well, there are a few pairs in rotation, but you get the point.) Honestly, I would never have thought of wearing them in the winter time, if it wasn’t one of her trusty looks.  I think one time this winter it was literally 10 degrees out, and Cath sends a snap of her heading out with short denim + over the knee boots. This is a true story. For me, I have been bundling up in an array of fabulous outerwear, just desperate to stay warm!

But when we were getting ready to head out and take some photos recently, I thought, “Hey, maybe I’ll be a little copycat and try out the Cathclaire special!”  I got these rad boots from Zara on super sale and had been dying to incorporate them into my look. So that, paired with the East Coast tee that Cath gave me for my birthday + my absolute favorite winter purchase: this ASOS coat and the look was born.  What do you guys think? Do you wear jean shorts in the winter? Does fashion really have seasons?

PS. outfit hack: wearing the belt that came with this coat as an actual belt.
Revolutionary, right? LOL
