Shoe Boot Month at Olive

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Feb 12 at 5:43 PM

It’s right at that time of year when annoying things happen like you rip two of your thick pairs of tights, and desperately need to replace them seeing how there’s, like, at least two months to go before you can get away without wearing any under short skirts and not freezing your keyster off. The good news is that thick winter tights are on sale, the bad that the pickin’s are slim—that’s why I had to replace my beloved, eminently useful black ribbed MPs with bright freaking red ones. They’re okay, but I passed them up at the beginning of the season because they’re a little Mrs. Claus…

Anyhow, the same can be said for lots of winter gear: you stained your coat, some idiot who lives in your apartment building put your cashmere through the dryer, etc. And if you happened to have trashed your boots, there’s good news: It’s boot month at Olive. Styles from Georgina Goodwin, Repetto, Cydwoq, and more are at slashed prices, in some cases up to 60%. Definitely worth the look.

(These Georgina Goodmans are my faves—they’re like a much classier version of those ubiquitous vintage ones.)
