Bean Boot Update

First of all, a big thank you is in order to all of the fabulous Summer Wind readers out there. Your response to my Bean Boot dilemma was HUGE and super helpful. Thank you bunches!!!!

I have decided that I absolutely love the L.L. Bean 8" GoreTex/Thinsulate boots. My Great Bean Debate was a struggle but I am glad I went with the classics rather than the brown shearling. In hindsight, the extra 2" dilemma didn't really matter! 

I have the 6" and the moc, however, the 8" GoreTex/Thinsulate make up a huge difference in warmth. I went to the Steeler game a few weeks ago and for all 4 quarters, my toes were toasty in the 27 degree cold. I definitely recommend getting the shearling insoles. As most know, Bean Boots run really large. I wear a size 8.5  in most shoes and the 7 in LLBean boots are too small but the 8 is too big. The shearling insoles make the shoe fit perfectly and keep my feet even warmer!

Do you love your Bean Boots? What is your favorite outfit to pair your boots with? Have a fabulous day!

Fall Essentials Part 7: The Duck Boot

Another Bean product added to the fall essentials list. This time, it's the L.L. Bean boot. These are a classic boot that will get you through fall rains, winter snow, and those pesky April showers. They are rugged but have a touch of sophistication about them. I love love love that they're unisex too! It's funny to see guys and girls wearing the exact same footwear on campus. I lost my Bean mocs too! They are a little more feminine and better for fall and spring because they aren't too hot!

 Another great option for rain is the Hunter rain boot. I'm not a rain boot kind of girl. I tried to get into them freshman year and it just never worked for me. These are really popular on many college campuses. Something that I love about them is that there are so many fun liners that you can add to them. I still definitely only stick to my Bean boots and never diverge. But whatever works for you-- most importantly is that your feet stay warm and dry! Which do you prefer? The Bean boot or the Hunter wellie?
Have a fabulous day!

OOTD: Featuring Bean Mocs

 

First of all, I just have to say: PITTSBURGH IS GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL. Ok, now that I have let that out, I can resume the post.I have had several questions on how to wear bean boots or bean mocs from L.L. Bean. If you don't own a pair, I highly recommend them. They are one of the most practical shoe you can own. They're comfortable, warm, and waterproof. So perfect for trudging around campus in the snow or rain! This is just an example of how I wear my bean boots. On rainy days, I tend to take a very casual approach to my outfit, just because I don't want to ruin any of my nicer things in the snow or rain, and because you can only dress up bean boots so much! Rugby: Ralph Lauren Rugby, Jeans: Hudson, Bean Mocs. I love when girls wear their 6" bean boots with leggings or tights, it really puts a twist into a dressed up outfit! 

How do you wear your bean boots?

Have a fabulous day!
