Winter inspires... boots!

India inspired me and my Jaya Designs fashion creations with its lush greenery, jewel-colored flowers, cool grasses and with its wonderful people always dressed in colorful silk sarees. As I gaze outside my window now from my home in Maryland…and watch 12 inches of blizzard piling on top of 27 inches of snowstorm from three days ago… I’m thinking… what does THIS weather inspire in me in a fashion sense. (Besides wanting to pull on my Juicy Couture tracksuit and my I Love Lucy bathrobe with fluffy pink slippers to match, that is??)


Not much of a winter person, this is a tough question… and then I know! I know what I recently did for my wardrobe that invites winter in rather than shuts me down until spring. One word… BOOTS!


A few weeks ago, because of the frigid temperatures here on the East Coast, which felt even colder since I had just returned from the tropical climes of south India, I decided to merge with the season, and got three pairs of delicious boots. (And thanks to Zappos http://www.zappos.com/, what was a dream one evening was reality the very next day… how DO they deliver so fast??)

None of these were more than $150, and I have worn them (and will wear probably well into the warmer seasons) with my Jaya Designs sleek silks and floaty chiffons… and so can you! Check my Jaya Designs website http://www.jayadesigns.net/ for the outfits – and send me your best boot/outfit pairings Surely spring is right around the corner!
