suited and booted, a. from 10.17

I'm sure you've seen them popping up everywhere from fashion editorials to fashion blogs to fashionable street corners, & lately they've been popping into my head. & not surprisingly, as we sometimes seem to share the same thoughts, in stevie's mind too. & as much as i ooh & ahh over the inspiring filles that wear them; i have a hard time thinking of wearing them myself.

what am i talking about? well, doc martens of course.

perhaps its because i can't get the image out of my head of those grunge rockers of the 90s (& not the cool ones might i add) or maybe its the fear of all the odd looks i'll get with thoughts of "i havent seen those out in yeaarss!" or maybe it's as though i don't think i could quite feel like myself in them, but whatever the reason, i'm almost forcing myself to buy a pair & love myself in them (!)

so, for an extra push - i thought up a few little scenarios; each taken into account a favourite fashionable city of mine & inspiration from filles who are lucky enough to own an apt in that zip code what i think they might wear with them.

london

nyc

stockholm

i think i'm convinced.

tfs, topshop, urban outfitters, american apparel, stockholm streetstyle

thank you to one of my best mates, the lovely a. from 10.17 for putting together this lovely little post. sometimes i wonder if we were twins separated ala the parent trap. but cooler. preferably with chloe as our older sister. be sure to check out her blog, as it's a feast to the eyes and ears.
