For months I have dreamt of owning a pair of chelsea boots. I'm very selective when it comes to shoes and the majority of my wardrobe are high heels, however there's something about chelsea boots that I love. Maybe it's their versatility and the ability to go with a range of outfits or the fact that they look more sophisticated than the average bootie. Whatever the reasons, I've longed for a pair of Chelsea boots and thanks to Debenhams I now own a pair. I've been sent a pair of the Betty Jackson High Chelsea boots to help me complete a styling challenge. I've been asked to take one pair of shoes and style them three different ways with various outfits. As a young girl playing with barbie, I always envisioned myself as a stylist. As an adult, I spend most of my days reading Elle magazine and trying to decide which clothes would complete my wardrobe. Doing the styling challenge was complete fun and I loved messing around with my wardrobe.
Outfit One: Party style
Leather, velvet and grunge fashion is all about the high street right now. I decided to team these chelsea boots with my beautiful crushed velvet Topshop shorts, New Look crop top and my old River Island biker jacket to create a casual club style outfit. I'm all about unleashing my inner rock chick and these boots are a great alternative to heels or studded biker boots.
Outfit Two: Cocktail Hour
Outfit number two is something a little bit more formal, yet edgy - the feeling the Chelsea boots first evoked when I saw them. I'm wearing a white blouse from River Island and a leather pencil skirt. This would be great for someone who works in a creative environment that likes to dress on trend or mid week cocktails with the girls.
Outfit 3: Casual Office Wear
My final outfit is casual office wear. This dress from F&F at Tesco is very versatile like the Chelsea boots and can be easily dressed up or down. Teamed with a pair of black tights, this would be a great alternative to a black dress for a formal, yet slightly casual workforce.
The Betty Jackson Chelsea boots are available at Debenhams at £75.
What do you think of these outfits?
