by Drew Elovitz

Just like jeans and sneakers or party dresses and pumps, boots and skirts are a foolproof outfit combo. But we get it. Sometimes, even the best wardrobe mates can get a bit boring.

Whether you go all in with a statement coat or jacket, play with pops of color or different textures, or just bring your A game with accessories, it's easy to create several different outfits using the boots and skirts that are already in your closet.
