Sometimes when you find one fantastic piece it can inspire a whole outfit. That was the case with these mahogany brown, vintage leather riding boots. The boot’s leather was incredibly soft, perfectly distressed and they featured unique buckles and a slim fit. I knew I had to purchase them and create a complete look around them.
The outdoorsy style of Ralph Lauren helped inspire this outfit. Ralph Lauren’s clothing sells a certain kind of active lifestyle which can be easily replicated with inexpensive pieces from Goodwill. A warm chunky, wool-patterned sweater from Susquehanna Trail Outfitters and a complimentary red plaid flannel shirt from Mossimo (from Target) top off my favorite dark blue skinny jeans. And with that, I am ready to ride!
For a different look, in cooler weather pair the boots with tights and a sweater dress; for the summer try, a crisp white sleeveless top and skinny khaki pants for another riding-inspired look.
Finding a designer or style you love and then recreating the look through pieces from Goodwill is fun and exciting. Be it Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors or a modern, edgier designer, Goodwill is your go-to place to stay in style yet on budget.
