Making a suede mini skirt work in early March.
I have been chomping at the bit to work in some of my spring pieces, but winter in Kansas City has been holding tight this year. How can you wear spring pieces like this suede mini skit without losing a limb to frostbite? Thigh high boots, bless! I pulled my Stuart Weitzman Highlands out for a test drive with this suede skirt (super affordable version of these boots right here; another way to style these boots, btw). I wanted to accent with tough pieces– enter my trusty moto jacket and aforementioned boots– while keeping the rest of the look feminine. A blush turtleneck was the perfect compliment to the suede mini skirt; clean and in step with the neutral palette.
I scored both the skirt and the turtleneck from new local fave, Kindred Shops. KC friends, have you visited Kindred? It’s located on the lower level at Oak Park Mall in the Nordstrom wing. So many pretty spring pieces available right now! I get lost in the racks and end up taking armfuls of clothing to my dressing room– narrowing down the pile is always a challenge because everything is so good!
Shop the look:
The lace-up detail on the suede mini skirt and the statement boots meant the accessories could be really simple (or, with the exception of my Ray-Bans, nonexistent). I love how the boots really pack a punch, but once you remove the jacket, the outfit becomes super soft.

I would definitely want to wear that skirt sooner rather than later – high boots seem like a good weather solution!

Ash, LOVING this look. Excellent job on a spring look in this ridiculously cold weather. (I need ACTUAL spring to arrive and the weather to warm up.)

It can be tough when winter starts to rear its ugly head again- saw all the snow getting dumped on you via Stories- ughhhh! C’mon, spring!
OTK boots are the perfect solution! They keep your legs to much warmer! Love that fab skirt on you!
Yes- definitely a great solution to wearing mini skirts in early spring!
Obsessed with the details on this skirt! And paired with those knee-high boots — just too cute!

What an awesome skirt, love the color and the style. Kindred sounds like an excellent place to shop. I have boot similar to these from Zara and saw a pair in Macy’s on sale very similar to the color of your skirt but they only had 5.5 and I was DETERMINED to get my foot in which I did ( I am a 6.5) ooo but getting them off oh my caused a muscle spasm in my foot! Haha oh well couldn’t get them.

OTK boots really extend that wardrobe! I love how you paired the black boots with the black moto jacket for the perfect balance. Now if spring could come out and play that would be much appreciated!

I am definitely ready for serious spring weather- in the meantime, boots help solve that problem!
Once you buy one pair of Stuart Weitzman you will never go back!! His boots are the best and I will never buy any other ones. You look fabulous in this mini skirt!

I don’t wear skirts that often, but I love ones like this with the dual lace up design. The suede is quite lovely as well.
Skirts are definitely not part of my usual repertoire- but I had to try this lace-up version!
Loving this look on you!!
