Lace-up ankle boots

I don't think I'm alone when I say that when I purchase something new a million outfit ideas are running through my head.
If its something I'm really excited about I'll even go online and look for some inspiration on how to wear that item.

Some outfit ideas for my new lace-up ankle boots...

New Boots

So my new (old) boots arrived in the mail yesterday and I was so excited I had to test them out today.
I was running late so I defaulted to an all black outfit.
I am happy to say that the boots are very comfortable even though the heel is higher than I am used to on a daily basis.

The weather here has been so unpredictable lately...looks like I'll have to wait a while until I can go without leggings

Also, I really want those shoes or a moderately priced alternative.
