![Perspective. I’ve had a long conversation about this subject with myself over the past 24 hours. It sounds silly even saying it, but last night I got so frustrated when one of my nails chipped because “I NEEDED THEM TO LOOK GOOD FOR A VIDEO SHOOT TOMORROW” and then this morning I pulled a classic makeup fail and dropped my eyeshadow and it shattered so again, I was angry, frustrated, annoyed, etc. And then I stopped myself. I don’t know if you’ve been following along of @lindsayletters.co and her precious daughter, but that family has been on my mind constantly over the past month. As I stared down at my broken eye shadow all I could think about is how it must feel for Lindsay and her husband to look down at their precious daughter and despite how broken things may feel right now, they are beautifully claiming God’s provision and promise for the future while in the midst of the excruciating present. We all have things [and this my friends, was not even a “thing”] but it’s what we do with those moments that can turn a broken palette into a beautiful masterpiece. And ps. If you haven’t already, please consider praying for @lindsayletters.co and @dugansherbondy and beautiful little Eva ❤️](http://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/51a5acd80644f24d99c6dbbeedc13f46/5E1CBA0E/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/69470034_405620503698526_7936848937660903511_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_cat=110 "Perspective.

Are the knee high/cuts under the knee boots still “in”? Do you wear them with dresses or leggings as opposed to jeans?
Hey Jen, thanks for checking out the post! The entire LIY team is still loving that height and we all stocked up on a few new styles for this season! We’re planning on rockin’ em. You can see some styling ideas here: https://www.pinterest.com/livinginyellow/how-to-wear-high-boots-otk-boots/ xoxo
Hi! Do you know when the Vince Camuto Gigietta Bootie in Natural Embossed Leather will be back in stock? On the website, it’s out in nearly every size. I am loving this bootie for fall!
Hey Kelcey! So sorry! Unfortunately, we don’t receive any advanced restock notifications, but we’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for those cuties! xo -Claire
Are the Sorel wedges TTS?
Yes, TTS!
Love this round up! Any suggestions for a riding boot for thin calves? Ordered a cute pair during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale only to discover they gaped on top and looked I was wearing clown boots. Lol
Hey Leslie, another one of our favorite brands [when it comes to riding boots] is Frye! Great for narrow calves! xo https://shopstyle.it/l/77Jb // https://shopstyle.it/l/77Jj
Hi can you recommend any knee high boots for skinny calves? Love the Born but they’re swimming in my legs.

I have never been able to wear booties, even though I love the look. I am REALLY short (5′) and they always seem to hit too high on my ankle (looking so weird with jeans). Any suggestions for low cut booties? Sincerely, Height Challenged LIY Fan!
Hey girl! Becca, from the team is 5′ and has/loves this style- really anything with a shorter shaft height!https://shopstyle.it/l/77Kn It may also help to make sure you’re wearing the correct inseam length- this post may help! https://bit.ly/2zXZxHK She wears extra-short length from AE! https://shopstyle.it/l/77L3 xo
I’ve been looking for a cute waterproof bootie and love the Cate style by Sorel. Is it a comfortable shoe? Sometimes those kind of boots can rub the ankle bone.
Hey Kristin, we LOVE Sorel! I find them very comfortable and several girls on the LIY team wear them too. Another favorite brand to check out is Blondo! xoxo https://shopstyle.it/l/77MG // https://shopstyle.it/l/77MH
