Where do you pull inspiration? I’ve been asked Where do you pull inspiration?

I’ve been asked this question a lot recently and I actually made it a topic in my workshop.

Inspiration can come from anywhere.

For me, I love to see what’s going on in other niches outside of my own, such as photography or even menswear.

We’re so consumed by our own feeds or what the algorithm gives us that it’s hard to step outside of our norm with creative enlightenment. 

So if you’re in a pickle and need a change of scenery, take a look at other categories. Everyone has a unique approach or messaging.

Then ask yourself, “how can I make this my own?”

⁣How do you view success?⠀ ⠀ To me, it’s s ⁣How do you view success?⠀
⠀
To me, it’s stepping out of my comfort zone and building a life that I once thought was unattainable.⠀
⠀
My wife sent me a podcast this week with @jasminestar and @jennakutcher (two insanely talented entrepreneurs I look up to). The topic was about pivoting. ⠀
⠀
@jennakutcher said something that really stuck with me - it’s not that you need to know where you’re going but what you’re moving away from. ⠀
⠀
Whether you’re just starting out on your side hustle journey, in the process of building it, or at the point of going full time, there will always be moments of pivoting.⠀
⠀
I’ve tried out so many unique side hustles over the last 6 years lol from different forms of YouTube channels to a podcast! Every time something didn’t feel right, I’d let it go and move on to the next. ⠀
⠀
Overnight success is a made up term. Nothing happens overnight or in a month. It takes commitment and trust in yourself. ⠀
⠀
I always say “keep going” to my clients. It took me 6 years to get here (with multiple high and lows in the process).⠀
⠀
So trust the process and enjoy the journey… it’s worth it.⠀

12 Ankle Boots Outfit Ideas To Try In 2021

Female Women's ankle booties

Wondering how to style ankle boots? Here are 12 ankle boots outfit ideas for you to try year-round.

My friends have told me they’ve struggled with ankle boots outfit ideas when it comes to getting dressed. Well, I’m here to help you find the right ankle boots and offer 12 ways to style them so you’re never in a style funk!

I consider ankle boots like the supporting actress in an outfit. It helps complete the look, but it doesn’t have to be the main attraction. Do you know what I mean? What I love about them is that they’re easy, versatile, and accessible. They come in multiple heel heights, styles, and colors. 

So enough rambling, let’s get into ankle boots outfit ideas!

1. Skinny Jeans

@brooklynblonde1, @sincerelyjules, @laurennicolef

How to wear ankle boots with skinny jeans is number one. This is because it’s the number one highly asked ankle boots question in Google SEO. Skinny jeans are accessible and we all own a pair, so it’s understandable that we all want to know how to style them with ankle boots.

Note: You don’t want to wear skinny jeans that are too long, because they’ll bunch up at the ankle and it’s not a cute look. I suggest wearing ankle-length jeans. This not only elongates your legs but is also a more flattering look and silhouette. 

Shop ankle Boots with skinny jeans:

2. Leggings

@brightonbutler, @miamiamine

So, how to wear ankle boots with leggings was the second most asked ankle boots question in Google. There are a few ways to style ankle boots with leggings, but suggest low cut booties with leggings that are not too long to avoid bunching at the ankle. With low-cut booties, you also show some ankle between the shoe and legging which elongates your legs.

Also try detailed ankle boots with simple leggings, and the shorter the heel of the bootie, the shorter your top!

Shop ankle boots with leggings:

3. Long Dresses

  • How to style ankle boots with dresses

@livpurvis, @ivanka.dekoning

Whether for Spring or Fall, you can wear ankle boots with long dresses. I love to wear them with a warm turtleneck, knit dress during the winter, but they also look cute with a long maxi dress for Spring.

4. Mini Skirts

@ivanka.dekoning, @flauntandcenter

Can’t talk about dresses without skirts. Either short or long, ankle boots can elongate your legs with skirts. During Fall and Winter seasons, try them out with tights.

Shop ankle boots with skirts:

4. Straight-Leg Jeans

  • How to style ankle boots
  • How to style ankle boots with jeans

@lucywilliams02, @ivanka.dekoning

Straight-leg jeans are my absolute favorite style of jeans and love to wear them with ankle boots. You can roll up the hem to show some ankle with low cut boots or a second skin boot. 

Also, you can get ankle length, straight-leg jeans to expose more leg with your ankle boots.

5. Voluminous Dress Silhouettes

  • How to style ankle boots

@thefashionguitar

Voluminous dress silhouettes are so cute styled with a feminine ankle bootie or even with a chunky ankle boot, like a combat boot. It’s fun to play with the juxtapositions of feminine and edgy. 

Shop chunky ankle boots:

6. Cowboy Ankle Boots

  • Cowboy ankle boots female
  • cowboy ankle boots

@lainyhedaya, @thefashionguitar

The Western trend is here for the next couple of seasons. So try this bootie with a short dress and long sleeves

Shop cowboy ankle boots:

7. Relaxed Fit Trouser

  • female ankle boots

@filis_pina

Relaxed fit trousers can pair nicely with sleek ankle boots or tuck into a chunky lug boot.

8. Midi Skirt 

  • female ankle boots skirt
  • how to wear ankle boots with skirts

@modedamour, @laurencaruso_

So midi skirts are tricky. You have to be careful on the ankle book, as you do not want to show too much ankle. Then the proportions of the skirt and boot will look off. The right ankle boots are the ones that are slightly higher, so it leaves very little leg showing for a nice silhouette. 

Shop ankle boots to wear with midi-skirts:

9. Boyfriend Jeans or Dad Jeans

  • How to style ankle boots with jeans

@Ada_oguntodu

To make this look work, make sure your ankle boots have a heel. With baggy pants, you want to elongate the body for a more flattering silhouette.

10. Wide-Leg Jeans

  • how to wear ankle boots with jeans

@joeytaylor04

Whether cropped or floor-length, wide-leg jeans work so well with ankle boots.

11. Monochrome

@vanessahong

Love a chic monochrome moment, and it works so well with ankle boots for the perfect head-to-toe look!

12. Wear To Work
