First of all ... what exactly is OTK, you may ask. OTK is just a short acronym for the trendy boot style that's here to stay. Over-the-Knee boots are flattering because they elongate the leg while keeping you warm and covered for these chilly days ahead.
For many of us, we may already be aware of this hot boot trend, but thigh-high, stiletto versions may be just a little too impractical and dangerous to go running around in during the day. Plus, while these sexy shoes may be perfect for a night out with the girls, they're too risque for everyday errands and activities.
But we love this boot trend too much to not find a way to wear it to work, to school and anywhere else that strikes our fancy! Opt for a version that is flat or wedged for more standing support, and look for looser fits of leather and suede to give your look a casual, edgy vibe. Equally cute over leggings or paired with a pretty dress, you'll find yourself loving your OTKs everyday!

Shoe Of The Week - Topshop 'Ally' Ankle Boot

Lately I've been on the hunt for the perfect ankle boot. To me, the ankle boot is the go-to shoe when you can't make up your mind. Knee-high boots? Flats? Heels? The decision can sometimes be overwhelming and inconclusive, but you don't need to worry anymore, because these Ally Ankle Boots by Topshop have come to the rescue! The great thing about these sexy short boots is that you can pair them with anything from a flirty skirt or seductive minis, to skinny jeans and a slouchy top, and create a stunning look with just enough edge and sex appeal. Every gal needs a pair of these hanging around and I love that Topshop has paired suede with patent leather, really adding depth to this shoe with mix of textures. The black makes these shoes versatile and mysterious, but they have an awesome strip of gold metallic along the heel to give the shoe that little extra spice and rock-n-roll. These boot were made for strutting!
