Kickin’ It Old School

I became a huge Dr. Martens addict in school. My first semester was tainted by Bass loafers and I vowed to never go there again. I wasn’t a penny loafer girl. I was creative, into the arts, edgy and on the go. What I needed were Docs. My first pair were 8 eye 1460’s in black. Edgy enough to wear with my uniform but were great for non uniform days. I loved those boots so much and I’m happy they still make them! I then added to my collection the oxblood red color, blackwatch plaid and then graduated to 20 eye ones that still live in my closet.

You see, the thing about Dr. Martens boots is they last. Ask a Doc owner how long they have had their boots. You might be surprised when they have to think since it might be well over 10 years! And now I’m very excited that we’re seeing those original boot styles come back with a vengeance for fall. These boots are so well made and versatile. They really can take a beating and still come out looking great.

While I might pull out my 20’s, I think I’ll pick up a pair of Dr. Martens Triumph as well. I know they will be comfortable and as I was wearing them almost exclusively for years. I’ll pair them a little plaid skirt as well as jeans. Maybe some fluffy knee length skirts and cargo skirts too! The fun part about dressing with Docs is the freedom to wear what you want. Confidence is really what will tie the outfit together.
