Really Obsessed With: Lace Up Boots

I was in the fifth grade when Doc Martens were the be-all and end-all. I spent a lot of time pining away for my own pair of brown-laced Club 5's, but Mommy Legit couldn't imagine spending so much money on a pair of feet that outgrew their shoes every six months. But dream I did, and dream I'm still doing--I pass by the same storefront window each day on my way to campus and imagine myself wearing these cute little 8 button floral printed Docs. The way I see it, there's two ways to go concerning lace-up boots. To preserve your femininity without losing butch appeal, either opt for a mannish pair in a girly color, or a girlish shape with mannish hardware. Either way, you'll be making my fifth grade self very happy.
