Ranger Hat and Thigh Highs

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday!

Thigh high socks are a great autumn staple, as I previously mentioned. Pairing them with a pair of black boots or pumps are my makeshift thigh high boots, as I haven't found the perfect pair. I have this internal fight between quality over quantity or price, and  I'm torn between shelling out the big bucks for a nice leather pair, or grabbing something more affordable. I know that if I'm going to wear them often, a quality pair is definitely my go-to despite the price, but how often would I really wear thigh high boots? What do you guys think - do you prefer to buy quality or would you rather go for the cheaper price tag in hope of buying other items?

 I'm in love with everything about this smock dress from ASOS - the open back, the corset closure, the print, how it swings while walking....

Hello new ranger hat! I've been looking for you for forever (well, since the beginning of summer), and mostly just to pair with this dress. When I saw this at Anthropology over the weekend, I knew it was the one.
