A Cool Way to Transition Your Ankle Boots Into Spring

One winter staple I like to transition straight into my spring wardrobe is a great pair of ankle boots. You can easily wear them with just about everything from jeans to a printed dress, but I'm currently loving the idea of styling a pair of Chelsea boots with a white linen t-shirt (try this under-$100 shirt), standout sunglasses, a cool hoop earring, braided bag, and a satin midi skirt. Complete the spring outfit with a great brow gel and no-makeup makeup look.
