I would describe my fashion sense as classic feminine. I prefer dresses and skirts to jeans and pants. Today’s post is not the first time I’ve embraced the military look; remember my camouflage pants? I’m going a step further with my girly twist on combat boots.
Combat boots remind me of how fashion changed in the 1960s. Perhaps it was a revolution from the norm, a counterculture with a younger generation determining a more relaxed and modern approach to style. Bell bottoms, mini skirts, and leisure suits were a few fashion styles embraced during the 1960s.
During the 60s, I do recall being impressionable with my fashions. As a baby boomer, you probably remember Nancy Sinatra’s 1966 song, “These Boots Are Made for Walking.” That fashion craze of the flat-white boot, or go-go boots, was a must-have for me.
Typically, I don’t follow trends, but I update my look and wardrobe with fresh pieces most seasons. I never thought of considering rocking combat boots. My inspiration was to wear combat boots to see if I could personalize them with my feminine approach.
This Schutz bootie is perfect with a broad, not-too-high heel; the lacing makes them edgy.
The combat boot is military-inspired; I softened the stern, rugged look with fishnet tights.
Did I accomplish my girly twist on combat boots? Let me know in the comments section or on my Facebook post.
Obviously, coronavirus has a great impact on what we do and where we go. However, I believe there’s light at the end of the tunnel, sooner rather than later.
Please continue to follow CDC guidelines: wear a mask, social distance, and wash those hands as often as possible.
