When I was fourteen, I had a short, flowered spaghetti-strap dress that I wore over a white t-shirt, with a little denim vest (yeah, a vest - weird). Very Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, as Valerie Malone.
The piece de resistance that completed this whole Maurices getup - my bronze Doc Martens, most likely worn with pushed-down white socks. (Ugh. . . revulsion). I remember being so enamored with those boots: the vintage-y metallic finish, those chunky rubber soles that left beguiling imprints in the snow, that iconic yellow tag peeking out from the backs of each heel. For a small town girl, they were tres 1990s chic.
I had all but forgotten about my beloved Docs, until Mr. Steve Madden rekindled my desire for military-inspired footwear. The above-pictured "Axee" boot really has me twitterpated - I'm dying to pair them with girly dresses, leggings and boyfriend cardigans this fall. The modern combat boot boasts a more streamlined, less-chunky profile, while still managing to convey plenty of fashionable bad-girl attitude. Be still, my heart! The only remaining quandry: brown or black?
