How I Styled $45 Ankle Boots for Stockholm Fashion Week
The task: Pack for the journey from Los Angeles to Stockholm Fashion Week. The strategy: Find practical pieces for the Scandinavian city's snowy streets that also look chic and fit with my personal style. Thankfully, I think I found a look (or two) that checked all the boxes.
For day one, I opted for a bright red Claudia Li coat with Nike sneakers, but for day two, I decided to mix it up with some ankle boots. After spotting them on our editor in chief, Kat Collings, I went with the Who What Wear Behati Booties ($45) from our collection at Target. Since there was a ton of fresh snow on the ground, flat boots were a reasonable choice—the cool patent material and easy-on-the-wallet price tag didn't hurt, either.
I wore the ankle boots with the Diane von Furstenberg Long-Sleeve Floor-Length Jacket ($798), Paloma Wool Guiri Sweatshirt ($85), and J.Crew jeans. Not pictured (but extremely vital for Stockholm weather in January): my Uniqlo Heattech Ultra Warm Crew Neck T-Shirt ($25) and Heattech Ultra Warm Leggings ($25). Scroll down to see the full look, captured by Szymon Brzóska of The Style Stalker, and shop the pieces.
What I wore: Diane von Furstenberg Long-Sleeve Floor-Length Jacket ($798); Paloma Wool Guiri Sweatshirt ($85); J.Crew Vintage Crop Jeans in Landers Wash (sold out); Who What Wear Behati Booties ($45)

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
