White Go-Go Boots
Are you ready for go-go boots this fall? I know I am! The warm temperatures of August shouldn’t limit our footwear to sandals. These polka dot snake print heeled go-go booties from ASOS make it easy to slide into cooler weather.
After reading Cherie James’s blog, Style Nudge’s Shoe and Tell post on the white ankle bootie, I was inspired to relive a childhood memory of wearing go-go boots. I purchased a pair of white booties that I found refreshingly chic to sport now.
The 1960s was a tumultuous but adventurous time for the United States: President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline were in the White House, the Civil Rights Movement, Kennedy’s assassination in1963, Beatlemania, Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination, and Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Fashion reflected this change, especially when Andre Courreges debuted his first line with mini skirts, helmets, goggles, and cropped jackets. We know that Chanel epitomized the little black dress. Another French fashion designer, André Courrèges (March 1923- January 2016), introduced the little white dress. The LBD was displaced in 1965 when the French designer launched his first line of white dresses.
He also brought the world go-go boots, Mary Quant, and the mini-skirt in the 1960s. Ah, the sweet memory of wearing my white go-go boots while dancing to Nancy Sinatra’s hit song, “These Boots Are Made for Walkin.'”
What’s your fall shopping mindset? Are you reworking what you have in your closet? Do you have any fond memories of donning white boots? Do tell me in the comments section.
Thank you for reading, and have a fabulous, stylish week.
I’m so glad I popped over to your blog from Shoe And Tell, I had no idea that I inspired you to do this wonderful post! Thank you for the kudos!! I, too, as a child had white go-go boots and wore them to death. Great look and great post!!
