HOODIE + OVER THE KNEE BOOTS: FALL'S INSANELY POPULAR LOOK

Life lessons do make me do some crazy things and this situation was no exception. If I told you a woven hoodie and a pair of over the knee boots would be one of the best decisions I ever made trying to predict what life after a warm summer vacation would look like when fall meets you upon arrival back in a cold country, I am sure you will probably say, that doesn't take a genius to figure out. True, true, true, but I think it is more of the fact that I couldn't be more proud of myself for going with my instincts on this one.

My summer trip to St. Lucia was quite interesting, to say the least, and weather, as per usual on an island, was straight up nice and warm. Then it was time to come back home to Canada at a time when I knew it would be cold but little did I know, I would be heading up north to what I call, the "Cottage Country" where things got even colder and very remote compared to Toronto. With no time at all to shop for warm outfits, I had to quickly dig into my emergency bag of mixed backup clothes and there was this woven hoodie that I had purchased the very last minute I was leaving Toronto for St. Lucia. I had seen it at a Winners store just hanging lonely on the rack and I was immediately drawn to its adorable woven texture, pattern and loose threads. It was different from any other hoodie I had ever owned or hardly seen around, especially when it comes to hoodies for women.

The design and fabric of this hoodie make it so dressy that it just completely eliminates that mindset of seeing hoodies as just hoodies and pieces you wear on lazy days like sweatshirts. For quite some time now, the combination of a hoodie and over the knee boots has taken over the entire universe because it is by default that easy yet chic go-to fall look that never gets old.
