Really Love My …. Purple Suede Ankle Boots

11/07/23 | really love my ..., Ted Baker

Prada Vitello Daino Shopper and Ted Baker Qatena Heel Ankle Boots in Purple Suede   - Purple Suede Ankle Boots

It is my second week back to work and today is my second time wearing my heeled Ted Baker boots.  Between being really pregnant and then carrying around a squirming baby 2023 has not been a year of heels so far but I have a little less than two months to turn that around.  Wearing a heel makes me feel much more put together and even if I hvae been commuting to the office in sneakers, it is nice to change in the lobby for a bit of a glow up.

I first featured these Ted Baker Qatena Block Heel Purple Suede Ankle Boots  in my 2018 blog post British Booties for Fall and then they were the star of the show in my 2020 post Office Ready in a Spot Print Dress (see the photo above).  Take a look at how I have worn the boots over the past 5 years:

Since these shoes are from many years ago I have not found a regular place to get them online though if you are size xxx they are here on Ebay  otherwise Torrid has these Circus By Sam Edelman Block Heel Booties in stock which are similar, albeit a bit more pink in color.

What do you think of these purple suede ankle boots?

    You are so daring how do you pair different colors. I would see those boots in a store and go. Oh my goodness I love them but what in the world what I wear them with.

    Next time I see a killer color pair of boots I’m just going to buy them and go back to your blog post and see how to style them. Normally I would think nothing would go together in the outfits that you styled but somehow you make it work and I love the daring and the pop of color. Great job.

    Lovely purple suede high heel ankle booties. You paired those booties very well with jeans and dresses. My favorite looks are the blue dress and the jeans. I modeled a new dress with a new pair of killer heels for our upcoming Florida Trip which was suppose to be a surprise for my boyfriend but he came home from work early thus killing the surprise I had in store for him. After that he had me pinned in the bedroom for a few hours, He still loves when I dress up for him. Wearing heels and dresses/skirts always makes me more confident. I see its a game changer for you too.
