Doc Marten Lace up Boots

 

A couple weeks ago I had mentioned my new Doc Marten boots. 

I picked them up at Journeys in my local mall while shopping with my husband. I should note here that I don't typically shop at Journeys because it's more of an alternative style, but it's one of the only stores around that carries a good selection of Docs.

We were shopping for him, but then I bumped into these things:

 

I'm sorry, but I think they are pretty cool. 

 

Lace ups are definitely in style this season, and so is the military trend.  So this is a nice combination of both with a feminine touch featuring ribbons as the laces and a floral interior.

 

The cool part of these is that they can be worn high (stopping around mid-calf) or they can be rolled down and buckled low to expose the floral interior print.

Yes, they are taking some getting used to, for sure. 

But I love them and they are getting more and more comfortable as I break them in.

 

Here I am (above) looking a bit more confident haha.

I tried to match a few of the colors from the floral print to put this outfit into motion.

 

Here I have on a great French vanilla colored cowl neck sweater from Gap, and underneath is a bright pink long sleeved tee from Gap that I picked up at 50 % off.

 

I did wear these new boots to work last week, and most of the women in my office loved them, but mixed reviews from the men. 

One male co-worker told me that they "scared" him, haha! 

But for the most part, they were well accepted.

 

I also wore them at Thanksgiving to our night time family party - I wore them laced up high with brown leggings and a cute multi-colored tunic. 

That outfit style definitely brought out the feminine side of them.

 

Would you be bold enough to wear boots like this? 

How would you wear them?
