the good old doc's

I don't know how you feel about this but I am just not the kind of girl anymore who can wear high heels for prolonged periods of time (we are not the glam girls we pretend to be, we actually got though jobs). Don't tell me these high heels were made for walking! Sure, I could and I do, if a look requires a longer/slimmer silhouette (that's what it's about, on photo shoots and the runway they are still a must), but only then. For every day, there are plenty of other great looking, less testing options.

I can assure you, the days when I put the heels on my feet and pack the comfy sneakers in the my purse are counted. And so are the times when I bring band aids in case I get a blister. I just don't feel that it's necessary to go through that organization every time. And the lord knows I got enough stuff to carry 'round!

Besides, have you not heard that we are heading back to high boots (over the knee) and flats and Creepers and Doc Martens boots? Well, get with it girl and if you are one of the lucky ones who got a perfectly worn in pair in the closet: PULL 'EM OUT!!?!

Now, you may want to polish those dusty suckers up a bit with some DIY styling:

Be inspired! Or - if you are not the crafty type - how about this rubber version from Ilse Jacobsen? They come in navy, red or black. They rock!


...so don't tell me you didn't have any options, 'cause you have!
