Boot Camp
The other day I was walking through Bloomingdales (most likely wasting time) when I spotted these oh so perfect Boutique 9 Elation lace up boots. Some of you may be asking, what is so perfect about these? Well…. let me tell you…. One of the hottest trends for the Spring of twenty-ten is military inspired clothing. As with every trend, it is what you make it. I interpret this trend as getting a few pieces that make what I already have more edgy/militant and this is exactly what this boot will do. Picture it now… Spring in Chicago. Me, walking down the street enjoying the fact that I finally can wear a jacket that doesn’t have down in it, my ripped Current Elliott jeans from last summer, my favorite James Perse tee and of course… these boots.
This year I have been making a point of asking myself as I shop, “do you love it, or just like it?” It seems like a simple thing to live by; only wear clothes you love. I have been constantly giving clothes to Good Will that I just “like.” If you took every trend in fashion and ran with it, you would have a closet full of “like” clothes and an empty wallet. This Spring, I hope you find clothes you love that add to your wardrobe, and inspire you to subtly try something new. As for me, I will continue to make a mental list of how many different ways I can wear these boots (and eventually purchase them.)
