The Bean Boot – 4 Ways
By: Liz and Anna, Guest Bloggers and Founders of The Sequined Blazer
It’s true, Maine has been popping up on fashion radars for quite some time (think Sea Bags, Angela Adams, Brooke There, etc.), and with so many exquisite downtown boutiques and an amazing array of restaurants worthy of incredible ensembles, we’re hardly surprised.
Yet, come winter, getting around can be treacherous. Although we adore them, the cobblestone streets can be slick, and when heels are competing with snow, slush and ice, they’re fighting a losing battle. Even the most dedicated fashionistas have to slip their toes into something more practical, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be sacrificing style. So what’s a girl to do? While we admit we’ve rocked an UGG boot or two in our time, our older and wiser selves are interested in footwear that can actually withstand a winter in Maine.
Enter: The Bean Boot. Once reserved strictly for hunters and woodsmen, this sensible shoe is just as likely to be seen trekking through the Maine woods as it is strutting down the streets of New York City.
Here in Portland we’re finding there’s a Bean Boot for every look you’re after, regardless of what’s on your schedule. We’ve put together 4 ways to wear the beloved Bean Boot that will suit every style. Whether you choose to stash yours in an oversized tote come party time or you feel like rocking them all night long, we promise you’ll be thankful you didn’t tackle our favorite Portland streets in your sky high stilettos.
