I love combining the ultra-feminine with the ultra-masculine and what better way to showcase this love than in my “Dream Combo” series (oh did I mention I’m sharing my dream combos on the regular?).

These Madewell Aberdeen Two-Toned Boots are like Wall Street meets sexy British rocker (swoon).   Sophisticated yet totally cool.  Menswear at it’s finest.  On the other hand, these Madewell Over-the-Knee socks exude that girly, school uniform vibe that’s become an essential fall trend this year (hello pleated skirts and button-up blouses).

Together, the two are the definition of gamine – a girl with boyish charm.  Ahh, I love! I would pair them with fitted wool shorts and a loose-fitting blouse.  Maybe even a belted shirtdress.  Heart you, Madewell.
