This past weekend was the perfect opportunity to break out my new Zara ankle boots. It was a little bit chilly on Sunday, so I decided it was a good idea to wear these and keep my feet warm. Anyway, I love this cardigan my little sister got me for Christmas from Christopher & Banks … YUP you read that correctly… this is from Christopher & Banks! It just goes to show you never know where you are going to find something great!

Rachel's Lookbook
September 17, 2013 at 7:51 PMThank you! And YES and NO. This was my first time wearing them, so they were pretty stiff around the ankle (and I have big ankles anyway), but the heel height is perfect and they are easy/comfy to walk in! I think after I break them in a bit more they will be super comfy!
