Have you tried Chelsea boots yet? I have to admit, I've been on the fence about them for awhile. Don't get me wrong! I knew this style of boot had staying power; I just didn't like the silhouette of any that I had seen.

Then I found this black pair while I was out shopping with my dad. I tried them on in the store and, like a kid, I wanted to wear them out of the store. Since then, they have become an integral part of my winter wardrobe. They are, quite literally, the style of boot I didn't know I was missing and prompted me to order this brown pair, as well.

I love how versatile this style of boot is. You can literally wear them with everything from dresses to skirts, pants and leggings. They're chunky, kind of like combat boots, but the sleek profile keeps them looking a little more polished and less edgy. Surprisingly, I don't feel like they weigh down an outfit despite their bulk.

I find myself reaching for these, especially the black pair, nearly every day. Sadly, I haven't been the best at taking photos of every time I've worn them (life, ya know?), but I do have 10 outfits that show their versatility to hopefully inspire you to change up your boot game for what remains of this winter.
