These Christian Siriano boots were $37, mic drop! They look so expensive – I think it’s a combination of the shiny gold zipper and the shape of the leg opening. You would never guess they are affordable boots from Payless! I love having boots in my closet, but I can’t spend $200 on every pair if I want some variety and to try different trends. These boots are the perfect way to have my cake and eat it too. They are my first pair of black riding boots, and I’m excited to fill that gap in my closet without the huge price tag!
