If you think we are referring to Beyonce’s Grammy-winning derriere, try again. This season it’s all about styling from your head to your toes. This week, we will focus on the latter: the perfect fall boot. During this seasonal turnover, wearing fashion forward boots is the only way Collegiettes™ can appropriately get their foot in the door. No pun intended.  We understand that the thought of finding a great boot may induce some shoe wear shivers. But not to worry—coming in all different styles, it is nearly impossible to not find a pair you absolutely love. So, without further adieu, here is our little boot camp that will whip your feet into perfect shape this season… make it work, ladies.  
 
J.Crew Booker Boots

To those who love a classic, preppy look, these J.Crew riding boots are just the thing for you.  Offered in three different shades of sleek leather, sport these boots with dark denim skinny jeans, a cute top, and boyfriend cardigan… and you will be teaching the class a thing or two about class.
 

Frye Billy Pull-On

If you love westerns, these Frye cowboy boots are perfect for you.  They are sturdy, but have a vintage touch, with the look of worn leather.  We personally love this boot in the color Smoke, which accentuates its great detailing. Wearing these Billy Pull-Ons, you will definitely be a smokeshow.
 

Hunter Original Tall Rainboots
 

Kate Moss never made mucking through the mud look so chic.  With the forecast reading 60% chance of rain more often than not, investing in quality rainboots will probably be one of the smartest decisions you will make at Conn (well, we hope you make some smarter ones, too). Roomy enough to fit your jeans and coming in all different colors, Hunters add a splash of brightness to a gloomy day.
 

Enzo Angiolini “Saylem” Riding Boot
 

Buckle up! With these Enzo Angiolini boots, you get more for your money with three buckles that make riding boots more fun!  With a daring exposed zipper running down the side, these boots add polish and edginess to any outfit.  These boots are definitely a must on anyone’s wish list.
 

Madewell Biker Boot
 

We are literally obsessed with these boots.  Madewell describes these bikers as “tough meets chic,” which is what we love most about them – they add the perfect touch of masculinity to any outfit.  Try them with skinny jeans in dark blue hues, greys, and blacks and a thick sweater or dark green military jacket.  Add a twist with a big, sparkly statement necklace.  Instead of being a biker chick, you’ll be biker chic!
 

Greer Wedge Ankle Boot
 

Italian suede? Check. Wedged heel? Check. Exposed zipper? Check. Antiqued finish? Check. Streamlined buckles? Triple check. Honestly, need we say more? These ankle boots are perfect for the night on the town with your girls. Style with J.Crew Minnie pants or a fabulous LBD, and you’ll surely make those booties pop.
