Hitch or Ditch: Socks & Boots

It's time for the second round of Hitch or Ditch here at Ohio is 4 Lovers. This week's question: tall socks with boots - hitch or ditch?

 

I've seen this trend a lot more frequently lately - in Akron and a little bit in NYC when I was there this weekend - and I haven't been able to decide if I'm a fan of it or not yet.

Does it depend on what kind of boots/the height of the socks/the type of socks? What do you guys think? Will you be rocking the tall socks peeking out of your boots this fall?

Fall in love . . .

I love fall. I couldn't be more excited for the boots, the sweaters and the scarves - especially after I found these scarves.

I fell in love with cowl scarves after I spotted one on designlovefest's website so I was super excited to find them on Etsy when I was browsing through local shops (bonus points because it's from Akron!). EStarKnits has a ton of cute scarves if the cowl isn't your thing, and every scarf comes with a whole bunch of color options too! I'm definitely looking forward to adding one of these to my cooler weather wardrobe.

Work it out

Leaving college meant a lot of new things for me - one being an update to my wardrobe. My mom and I set out this weekend to pick up some basic items to add to my new, professional wardrobe and one major item on that list was a blazer. I picked up this black blazer from Kohl's . . .

and I'm in love with it. It's an open-front boyfriend blazer with ruched sleeves from LC Lauren Conrad. The sleeve detail is that perfect, subtle addition that makes the blazer stand out, and one of the things I loved most. It's also the perfect transition piece for fall because the lightweight material makes it perfect for layering. The boyfriend cut makes it a little more casual too so it's perfect to go to work in or wear with jeans on the weekend!

Check it out if you're looking for more professional pieces to add to your closet too.

Flirt with this

I have trouble being a nail polish type of girl. But this summer I discovered Essie's Mademoiselle.

It's the perfect light shade of pink that looks more natural than painted on.

It's the perfect solution for a classy color that won't make you like you're overdoing it.

Save the hot pink for your toes and treat your tips to some Mademoiselle.
